of refusal to answer questions regard
ing his company's business, asked by
members Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which is investigating the
relations of the railroads with private

George 2. Boyle, attorney for the

contempt proceedings against Ellis
and all other officials of the company
who refused to give the desired in
formation.
On the advice of attorneys for the
company, Mr.. Ellis refused to disclose
details relative to its financial rela-
tions with Armour G. Co., and its in
come from car rentals, on the ground
that the commission has no jurisdic-
tion over the Armour car line, as the
company is not engaged in interstate
commerce.
Should the courts hold that the com
mission has no jurisdiction over the
affairs of the company, Mr. Boyle an
nounced he would begin prosecution
of every official of the company who
has accepted passes from railroads.
Ruling on our petition will estab-
lish how far witnesses may go in re-
fusing to testify" said Mr.. Hines.
This question is new.
In a previous application for rul-
ing E. II. Hartman was allowed to
decline to testify, but the ground
taken then was that the commission
did not contemplate making a com.

nation On which to base possible rec
concentrations. This is an entirely
different case. as there is no question
