AUTHORITY OF |. c. C.
Questions Right Of Body to Invcsti
gate Political Activities of
Railroads.
ANSWER FILED IN d. c. COURT
Inquiry Declared to Have Been En-
tircly Result Of Personal Animus
of Senator Lea, of Tennessee, and
df Old Controversy With Him.

WASHINGTON. July THE right of
to Investigate political activities of
railroads was challenged to-day by
Milton H. Smith, president of the
Louisville and Nashville. In his an
swer to the commissions petition re-
questing the District Of Columbia SUI
Drcme Court to compel him to give
testimony regarding Its alleged cam
paiGn contributions.
The answer declared the commits
sion's investigation was entirely the
result of personal -animus of Senator
Luke Lea, Of Tennessee. and OF an old
controversy between the Senator and
the railroad.
The commissions petition was filed
several months ago, when Mr.. Smith.
testifying in an inquiry instituted as
a result of n resolution introduced by
Senator Lea I'm 1913 refused to an
swer questions as to the roads po-
litical relations. 4 hearing on the
commissions request to compel Smith
to testify has been set for August IL.
THE power to investigate political
questions, or whether roads have en-
gagged in attempts to create sentiment
in favor of their plans is not among
the powers given the commission" says
the answer fled to-day. Neither Is
the power 10 investigate the ques-
ton as to whether or not particular
common carrier has attempted to pre-
vent another from entering the terri
tory in which the first carrier operates.

are confined, with few exceptions to
| the enforcement of the act to regulate
commerce, and that act does not at
! tempt to regulate the politics Of car
riers. nor the subject of their attempt
| ing to exclude competitors from their
| territories"
The answer says that at the time
| the Senate resolution, under which
| Smith was questioned. was introduced
three years ago, Senator Lea. through
| his Nashville newspaper, WAS engaged
| in an attack on the railroad, due to
! the fact that the railroad and it's Of
| ficials had declined to do for him what
he had requested" The resolution was
adopted. Mr.. Smith told the court
when only fourteen members of the
Senate were present.
The commission reported to the SEN
amners going into many details con-
corning alleged political activities
Two years and four months later
after Lea had been defeated for re.
! election to the Senate, the question
which had lain dormant for so long
was revived. and a public hearing
