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 Upon the 22nd of April when Rome four or five of the road announced that they intended to cany out the combination as originally made, I telephoned to Mr.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.
