Moses told Pew's friend, Captain
Burke said, that ''he had been doing
this for some time but he did not have
sufficient funds to make the profit he
might make If he had financial back

before he could get the finances which
Moses desired he would have to be
convinced that advance information

solutely obtainable. j .-..-
He told HIM that on Nov. 16 that
the man who furnished him "Moses"
was employed in the department Of
justice in Washington. Furthermore
this man was with Moses in New York

stances. Mr.. Borland's report declared
managing officers apparently had
given their sanction to evasions ito

poses Of the law" He charged that
safety had been sacrificed to expo
diency. -.-
Railroad companies were said to
have paid Comparatively little atten-
ton to the maximum requirement
of the law regarding safety appliances.
They were said to have contented
themselves with meeting the minimum
which orders that IS per cent Of the
cars in any train shall be equipped
with power brakes, disregarding the
maxium requirement that all cars SO
equipped must be connected and the
brakes in operation. Hand brakes
also were alleged to be still In use

equipped with power brakes.

render the block signal system en-
tirely useless.
Log trains, which are exempted

booses, which Mr.. Borland said was
