Objection.
Special to The World.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July go
Earnings Of the Atchison, Topeka,
Santa Fe Il Gulf railroad are secured
at less outlay OF expense in Okla
homa than over the entire system
according to testimony given under
cross examination by A. /. Conrad,
statistician of the Santa Fe, while on
the stand in the United States district
court Friday afternoon The witness
was on the stand during the greater
part of Friday and will take the wit
ness chair again Saturday morning,
when he Is expected to finish his tes-
timony. The cross examination was
conducted by Judge Joseph NJ Hill
OF Fort Smith, Ark, who Is assisting
Attorney General S. T. Freezing in
conducting the states defense in the
rate hearing
Testimony sought by Judge Hill in
connection with this statement of the
witness precipitated clash Of legal
wits between the states attorney and
S. II. Bledsoe, attorney for the Santa
Fe. The railroad attorney objected
to this question of comparative earn
ings cost being discussed at length on
the ground that the question put by
Judge Hill should be taken before the
interstate commerce commission
rather than before the court. Judge
Frank YOumans upheld the obiec-
tion, which was considered strong
point in favor of the railroads.
This was not done until an eloquent
appeal had been made by Judge Hill.
who stated that statistics submitted
by the Santa Fe had showed the cost
to earn dollar in Oklahoma to be
less than over the entire line. He
pointed out that this had a vital
pearing on the estimate and appor-
Iionment Of maintenance expense.
Judge Youmans announced Satur-
day that ne will leave for Fort Smith.
