for want of apioo , ti give but a bri
outline of the testimony. Mr. Kit

Asked whether ho had taken an f

transportation given to other railroad

With regard to 'issuing pauses to b

Buod a ( ovf blank passes , to Mi

prosslon was that ho ( Tnurstoo ) hanover
never had a hundred blank pascos al

; n Interrogated as to whether the it
ot creaeo of buclnoss was not aufliolei
now to warrant another increase , tt
witness stated that it had not. Tt
ie company had special reasons why the
nstt did not want to reduce rates jostnov
stt They were trying to Improve the

without lots. They had a mileage i

10 A number of other questions pe
lit * talnipg to pooling , the effect of tl
ho Doano law , & 3. , were put to the wl
tb- noes and then the question of salari

Senator Rjynolda hold tlmt , the
