SAYS ROAD FORCED
Him TO RESIGN
Former Head of Wabash Before
House Commerce Body.
WAS OPPOSED TO THE GoULDS
Declares That His Antagonist Against
Big Interests Caused Resignation
Committee Probes
Looting.

Washington, July 17.-Assertfng
that he virtually had been deposed as
president Of the concern in 1905 be-
cause Of the antagonism of the So
called George Gould interests, Joseph
Ramsey, former president of the Wa
bash-Pittsburgh Terminal company,
testified before the house interstate
commerce committee in the inVestiga-
ton of the alleged looting Of the COM
pany.
He told of the issuance of s30,000,-
600 of first mortgage bonds of the
company which sold at 951z cents in
1905, gradually decreasing in value IN
til they reached 47& cents in 1911.
A year and a half ago they dropped to
seven cents, he said. Representative
Townsend, father of the resolution for
the probe, charged in his speech in
the house that the bonds were forced
down by the methods OF high finance
in Wall street
''The 1907 panic had something to
do with the depreciation" Ramsay ex-
planned in reply to questions by Chair
man Adamson. Ramsey also told Of
the issuance of S20,0OO,OOO second
mortgage bonds and s10,00O,000 of the
common stock of the company and
testified that the original syndicate
members included Andrew Carnegie,
George Gould and Myron T. Herrick.
Later James Hazen Hyde came in as
syndicate manager. The syndicate
consolidated into the terminal COM
pany three roads and bought the
Pittsburgh Railroad & Coal company,
which owned the Pittsburgh West
Side Belt Line company and $4,000
acres of coal land.
THE ownership of the belt line was
of great strategic value" said Ram
sey, "as it gave access to the most
productive tonnage territory of Pitts
burgh. 1t could not be reproduced
except at prohibitive price and was,
therefore, a virtual monopoly"

that the producers Of sugar have been
unable to meet the demand, and right
under the nose of congress the dealers
have been refusing to sell more than
