 Thomas R. Gay. representing representing minority Chesapeake x Ohio stockholders declared that it was their position that every share of stock purchased in railroad by Mir. Van Sweringen has been pur. chased on the credit of the Chess apeake X Ohio railroad" and furth- CT that most of them were bought with proceeds of loans from Morgan and company aud other large banks on the credit of the Chesapeake A Ohio."

 Well. we've asked for his bank balances and he's refused to an. swer," Mir. Gay retorted. We be. lieve that his profits on railroad stock transactions are rightly the of tho railroad, and that he was betraying his trust as chairman of the board of directors of that railroad in bor. rowing on its credit"
 But that's all assumption on your part" Commissioner Hall again pro. tested. Have you proved it on the records
 Mir. Gay asserted that it was tho object of the questions in contro. versy to bring out facts to support the theory he advanced.
 Henry w. Anderson, also for tho minority, closed the argument in it's behalf by declaring that build. ing up Of the Van Sweringen rail- road stockholders in various systems represented "a record of speculation with forporate funds"
 We ask you now to allow us to reveal the speculative character of scheme which IS stin before the commission where destruction can yet be avoided, Anderson said. Mr. Van Sweringen has operated through whole series of corporations, each of them born today to de overnight and be succeeded by another.
