Where Money Gees.

WASHINGTON, Aug 10. - mist
ing that it is illegal for a railroad
TO have any secrets from the people,
Chief Counsel Joseph w. Folk, on
behalf of the interstate commerce
commission, today filed in the SUI
preme court Of the District of Co
lumbia a brief in support Of the
commissions petition asking that
Milton II. Smith. president of the
Louisville and Nashville railway, be
compelled to answer questions put to
him by the commission. These in
terrogations pertain TO alleged pO-
litieal campaign contributions, the
hiring Of legislative lobbyists and the
using of railroad funds 20 create
public sentiment in favor of the
railroad
The suit is a sequel TO the investi-
CATION of the Louisville and Nash
Vile instigated following a resolu-
ton offered by Sen. Luke Lea Of
Tennessee, and adopted by the
senate. directing an inquiry Of the
company's financial affairs. Sen. Lea
personally filed with the commission
a complaint alleging that the rail-
road was using passes and brides TO
corrupt politicians in legislatures or
the states through which the rail-
road operates.
smith Refuses TO Answer.
Pres't Smith of the Louisville and
Nashville. who has been chief eX-
ecutive Of the road since 1884, was
a picturesque witness at the investi-
cation. He declined TO give the COM
mission details OF the roads financial
operations. declaring that a railroad
had two sides-a public and a pri-
Nate one-and that privacy was in
yaded By a governmental demand to
know what was done with the roads
money.
Counsellor Folks brief argues
that the government has complete
supervision over interstate railroads
and that no expenditures can be
properly deemed as private if the
stockholders money is spent. With
out such supervision. railroads can
be wrecked and stockholders ruined,
the brief argues. The court has set
