TELLS OF ILLINOIS
CENTRAL GRAFT
Former Inspector Outlines Mil
lion DoL'ar Conspiracy.
CHARGES BRIBERY AND THEFT.
Railroad's Employees "Fixed," Its Ma
terials Stolen, Witness Claims, and
Double Prices Charged for Work
Done Roofs for Coal Cars and
Doors for Flat Cars. '
Chicago, July 29. Details of the
methods by which the Illinois Central
railroad was defrauded out of over
$1,000,000 In padded bills for tar re
pairs by a conspiracy between its of
ficers and employees with officers of
the Independent tar companies were
related in a deposition given before
Master In Chancery Mason. Tho
statement was made by Harold A.
Sims, a formtr car inspector for the
railroad. He said he was induced by
a higher salary and Important per
quisites as his share of the "graft"
and the persuasions of his superior
officers in the Illinois Central to be
come superintendent of the Memphis
Car company.
After a year of "easy money" he be
came dissatisfied with his share and
later made a full confession to the
Illinois Central attorneys.
Bribery of the railroad's Inspectors
and charging the road for materials
stolen from Its own cars and store
houses were only the slmp'er aspects
of the vast system of fraud', accord
ing to the witness. ' He laid this to
the former Illinois Central conductor,
Henry C. Ostermann. It was Oster-
mann's sudden rise to affluence and his
spectacular methods of displaying his
money, such as lighting cigars with
$50 bills and tipping waitresses with
handsful of silver, that first called at
tention of President Harahan to the
waste In his car department.
No mention of the late Ira G. Rawn
nor any of the "men higher up" was
made by the witness.
Charges Made at Hearing.
Among the startling statements re
lated by the witnesses were: i
Car repair bills were padded almost
at will, according to the guess of the
car company officials.
The railroad's own material was
used without stint to make the actual
repairs which formed tne basis of tho
charges. ,
Materials taken from the Illinois
Central tars were used almost exclu
sively to build the extensive plant of
the car company.
When the car company lacked ma
terial to perform certain parts of tho
repairs required, the almost aban
doned, but well equipped, shops owned
by the railroad Itself were called upon
to do the work, and the Items were
included In tho hill Just as If the
Memphis company had done It Itself.
Illinois Central cars were rolled on
to a spur track entering the plant,
rilled of supplies and materials to be
used In repairing cars already re
ceived on which the price would be
llberully boosted, and then In turn
made whole at the railroad's expense.
Inspectors of the railroad were
' bribed nnd went through the form of
checking up the work done In such a
manner bb not to cut down the profits
of the men who had bribed them.
They paid no attention while the al
reody excessive bills were still fur
ther boosted by the insertion of items
which could not possibly be added to
the cars In question, such as roofs for
cool cars und doors for flat cars.
A uniform charge for from ten to
fourteen gallons of paint was Included
in the bill for each car, whereas many
of (he tars only required two or three
gallons.
"We Just tore up the cars as we
saw fit and the Inspectors let us do
what we thought proper," declared
the witness.
