Governor Hadley
Raps Hagerman.
Gov. Hadley made the following
statement:
Frank Hagerman's statement before
Judge Mcl'herson yesterday that I had
written him a letter agreeing toc'isniiss
Mr. Jones' injunction suit against the
railroads, and failed to keep my agree
ment is as unqualifiedly false as was
his statement to the attorney general
of the United States that "every pre
liminary injunction against the freight
rate laws was issued with the consent
of the state." The only letter I ever
wrote to Mr. Hagerman upon this ques
tion was on April 21, and that letter is
as follows:
' It is still my idea that there will be
no occasion to continue the St. Louis
cases on the docket, but if I should de
cide otherwise, a full opportunity will
be given you and your associates to
take such action as you may wish to
take."
I wrote this letter in response to a
request from Mr. Hagerman and be
cause at that time it was my under
standing that all of the railroads in
tended to abandon the combination 'up
on which the suit was based by putting
in a 2 1-2 cent rate. Upon the 22nd
of April when Rome four or five of the
road announced that they intended to
cany out the combination as originally
made, I telephoned to Mr. Hagerman
that I would not ask Mr. Jones to con
tinue the case.
While the question as to what I did
or did not say to Mr. Hagerman is not
of particular importance. I do not
propo.-e to have my word questioned in
this controversy, anymore than I in
tend to permit any unwarranted inter
ference by the federal courts with the
authority of the officers of the state of
Missouri or any injustice being di ne to
to the people of Missouri, if it is with
in my power to prevent.
