Tlio lirat witness called by tlio Union
Pncillc invGsligiithif ; committee yesterday
morning was Surgcum-at-Artm Walsh ,
who testliipil as to attempts to servo sub
menus on Joim Al. Thurston , W. A. Tax-
ton , and G. Al. Dodge.
Air. Tliiirstoti , he had been informed ,
was in Minnesota and Ins wlto WHS un-
ablu to say when lie would return.
Air. i'axton , so a clerk at the Paxton
hotel had informed the witness , was out
of town and no onu was able to say when
ho would return. '
O. Al. Dodge had gone to Fort Worth ,
Texas , and witness was told that it was
doubtful whether ho would ever return
to ( 'ounuil lilufls. where ho recently re
sided. It was believed to be his intention
to take up iiis permanent residence in
New York.
General Traffic Manager Kimball was
ogam placed on the stand and produced
papers called for yesterday , showing the
omm rates charged by the Union Pacific
to the Omaha and Grant smelting works ,
trom 1881 to 1880.
Chairman Pattison then called for the
secret rates allowed to the same corpora
tion during the same period.
"The purpose of this commission. "
said he to Air. Kimball , "is to ascertain
how the sums that have been allowed
from time to time as a result of succial
rates , compared with the published and
open rates. "
"You have been getting them right
along , " said Air. Kimball.
"Yes , " replied the chairman , "wo have
been getting them in small doses , and
very small doses at tliat. "
Air. Populclon made an eloquent ap
peal to the chairman to show that such
statistics instead of throwing light on the
subject under consideration would oper
ate lo the prejudice of both the road and
tlio government because the general pub-
lie would not understand that a-groat deal
of the business would not have been done
if the rebates had not been allowed.
"Suppose , " said Chartuan Pattison
calmly , "three million of dollars had been
allowed in any one year , in the way
of rebates and preferences , would
not the gross earnings of the road at the
end of flic year bo $3,000,000 less than
they would have been if the open rates
huil been charged ou tlio freight moved ? "
Air. Poppleton said the trouble witU
that position was that it didn't take the
fact into account that a largo amount
of this business would have boon lost by
the road if the rebates hud not been al
lowed.
"Will you produce for the commis
sion , "said Chairman Pattisou , address
ing the general trallic manager , "a state
ment showing tlio total amount ot re
bates allowed ( lurini ; any one year ? "
" 1 can do so , " said Air. Kimball , "but
the figures would bo misleading to ttio
public. "
"You may append whatever explana
tion you like at the end of your state
ment , " said the chairman.
"Will you provide a statement show
ing the gross overcharges , the gross re
bates , the gross pool settlements and thn
gross railroad settlements ? " continued
Governor Pattison.
Comptroller Aliukintorposjng intimated
very frankly that the furnishing of this
information would involve a great deal
of labor and expenseand that he thought
it was only right that the commission
should pay for it.
"Alayfr asic you Governor Pattison , "
observed Air. Poppleton , "under what
clause of tlio act creating the commis
sion this information is sought for ? "
The governor cited the clause of the
net under which the information was
sought.
Judge Poppleton rising to his feet
made another lengthy argument to show
that the statement would bo misleading.
When ho had finished Chairman Patti
son calmly repeated the question.
Air. Littler hero endeavored to come
to the rescue by inquiring if all infonnn *
tion sought could not be obtained from
the books containing a record of the
rates refunded. It failed to have the de
sired effect , however , as it appeared that
in this book no distinction was made be
tween rebates and overcharges.
"I only ask this information in justice
to the ollicors of the road , " said the
chairman. "Will you furnish it ? "
Air. Kimball finally decided that ho
would , and the chairman proceeded tc
inquire if certain other papers called for
on Juno 20 wore ready to bo produced.
Some of them were ready and furthoi
time was asked to produce others.
Among the statements asked for wai
one showinc tlio published tar ill rate !
from the beginning of the road. The
open tariff rates since April 1,1887 , won
submitted.
"I want to say to you , " said Chairmar
Pattison , "that this is not the informa
tion we are authorized to call for mulct
the act. Wo want the rates prior to
April 1 , and I now hand it back to yoi
with the request that you amend it b ]
furnishing the published rates prior t <
April 1.1837. "
Air. Kimball was asked if ho had readi
rt report allowing the business resource !
of tlio country through winch the Unioi
Pacific road had been built or had con
tompiatcd building.
Air. Kimball had not prepared this report
port vet.
Hero Comptroller Alink returned f ron
Auditor Young's oflico and said .to th
chairman that that gentleman estimate !
the cost of getting up the statement abou
pools and railroad settlements at frou
15,000 to 118,000. Air. Alink , when th
S iformatioh was lirst asked for , said i
would cost in the neighborhood of $30C
"You thought it would cost abou
f300 , " said Governor Patttson. "Yoi
were as far off in this estimate as yp
wore on the constructive mileage tig
ures. "
"I told you at the time that I was enl ,
making the rankest kind of acucss abou
constructive mileage , " replied Comptroller
lor Alink with some embarrassment.
"Yes , very rank. " said the governor
as ho returned to the list of papers oallc
for from Air. Kimball on Juno 33.
As paper after paper was named an
none of them were forthcoming , the go\
crnor inquired in a tone of surprise :
"Haven't you prepared any of thcs
papers yet. Air. Kimball J"
Mr. Kimball replied that ho had nc
had time to prepare them as yet.
Comptroller Mink submitted a statement
mont from Auditor Young to the cffiu
that it would take twenty-four years un.
cost 18,000 to furnish the mformatio
asked for in regard to rebates and poc
settlements.
Un the basis of this statement Goyernc
Pattison modilied the call so as to it
elude only separate statements of grot
pool settlements , rebates , overcharge
and railroad settlements from Januur
1,188J , to January 1 , 1887 , inclusive , an
totals for the years previous.
"Do you know , " observed Coraptrolk
Aliuk to Mr. Littler , during one ot tl
lulls ia the examination of Air. Kimbal
' that Jay Gould was able to bo outdooi
yesterday afternoon for the first tin
since the commission got through wit
' "
'No , 1 didn't , " said Mr. Littler , laugl
"i Uiiiik soiuo of us will be in the sun
shape by the time the commission gets
through with us , " observed Air. Popple-
ton.
ton.Air. . Popplrton wanted to know
If Air. Kimball couldn't bo
let off for the afternoon so
that ho could give his personal nttcn-
tion to the preparation of some of the
statements called for. Chairman Pattison
consented and said that he would take up
Auditor Young in the afternoon.
The Freight Movement book for the
month of January , 18S7 , was produced in
order to show the constructive mileage
accounts with various auxiliary roads
during that period.
liy the time the examination of tins
ponderous volume was finished Air.
Littler observed , wearily :
"Doyou know , governor , that It is after
1 o'clock ? "
"Is that so ? " said thochairman.looklng
at his watch , and having verified the
judge's statement , declared the commis
sion adjourned until 2 o'clock p. m.
A1TKUXOON hisS10X.
It only lacked liftenu minutes of 8
o'clock when the commissioners got
back from dinner and again took their
scats at tin ) long table in General Trallic
Alauagcr Klmball's private ollico at the
Union Pacific headquarters. As soon us
Chairman Pattison had called the com
mission to order , Comptroller Alink pro
duced statements showing the legal ex
penses of tlie Union Pacific company
from 1808 to 1880 when the Kansas Pa-
cilic road was consolidated witli the
Union Pacific. Statements were also pro
duced showing the legal expenses of the
Kansas Pacific up to that time ; these of
the receiver of the Kansas Pacific ; these
of the Leavcnworth & Southwestern and
those of the Union Pacific from the date
of the consolidation to December ill , 183(5. (
Sergcant-at-Arms Walsh was asked if
he had served a subpoena on George Al.
Crawford. lie said ho had at
tempted to do so but had not
succeeded. Ho had called at the gentle
man's oflico , corner of Thirteenth and
Harney and also at his residence on
Sheridan avenue near Leavcnworth
street. At the latter place Air. Craw
ford's sister informed him that her brother
hnd gone to Iowa early in the morning
and left word that ho didn't know when
ho would be back.
Auditor Young was placed on the stand
again. In answer to questions ho stated
that he audited the accounts of the entire
Union Pacific system as received from
the heads of the various departments.
"Doyou show the gross receipts in your
report to Boston ? " inquired the gov
ernor. "
"Yes , sir , after deducting the rebates , "
was the reply.
Tlio tjovcrnor wanted to know if the
Kross receipts were those left after the
rebates were deducted. Air. Young re
plied that that was what they wore
called.
"Do you report to the general oflico at
Boston tlio amounts allowed in the way
of rebates ? " inquired the governor.
"Wo do when they are called lor , " re
plied the witness.
"How often have then been called for
during the past year ? " asked the gov
ernor.
Air. Young said they had been called
for several times , and was asked to pro
duce any written communications ho had
received on the subject from the general
ollico.
While the communications were being
looked for Chairman Pattison noticed Dr.
Miller , who had come in during the noon
recess , and asked it he was present to bo
examined.
'M saw by one of tlio papers , " said Dr.
Aliller , "that you said you were looking
far my kind of people , and so I came up
here. "
The governor explained that his re
mark had only been made in the way of
a JOKO , and after some pleasantries on
the part of the governor , the doctor and
Judge Poppleton , the examination of
uditor Young was rosumsd.
The witness was asked to produce a
statement of the gross receipts of the
Union Pacific road from 1809 to 1880 , in
clusive. Also the gross receipts of the
Kansas Pacific from its organization
until its consolidation with the Union
aciflc in 1880.
"How do you ascertain your gross
arnings ? " inquired the Governor.
The witness explained in answer to the
question that the gross receipts were not
'akcn into account in ascertaining the
; ross earnings because an amount might
bo credited to gross earnings as duo from
mother road which might not bo col-
eotcd for six months or a year. The
gross earnings were ascertained by deducting -
ducting overcharges , rebates , pool bal
ances , and similar items from the gross
receipts.
Tlio witness said ho made up the gross
earnings account under the direction of
Comptroller Aliuk.
Air. Alink was asked why the railroad
company had never kept separate ac
counts of the receipts from pools and
these from other sources. Ho replied
that the pool system was so complicated
that it would bo impossible to do so.
Air. Young was asktd if vouchers had
ever been presented to him for monoj
expended in influencing legislation. He
said ho didn't remember any such vouch'
crs , but thought ho would have re-
meraborcd if such vouchers Uad been
presented.

Short Talk with Vollnior.
A IJni : reporter saw Vollnior , to bo
sentenced this morning for the murder
of Dennis Quinlau , in his cell yesterday
morning.
Ho was attired in a gauze undershirt
and pants and his dull face looked duller
than ever.
His prospective fate seemed to have no
terrors for him.
"Hollo , Charlie , how arc you this
morning ? "
"Vas goot. "
"What do you think of the result ol
your trial ? "
"Ugh ? "
"You know the jury found you guilty
what do you think of it ? "
"It vas purty tuff , I links , pnrty tuff
I would ncfcr shot , oft" dose men vouul
not let mo , lono. How much dey gif me ,
you link ? "
"That is discretionary with the court-
not over ten years , though. "
"Ten years ? Alino Gott , do doy link ]
sthays in hero ten years , I vun't do it. "
The poor fellow scented to have Out the
most meagro appreciation of his position ,
and no sense of the powers of the law.
Ho is a victim of ignorance and vicious
associations , with no relatives in this
country and but few disinterested friends ,
Jailor Alillor is of the opinion that he is
the victim of tlio deviltry of that man
Schill , who was hold with Vollmcr.
Schill , while in jail , evinced all the trails
of a cowardly bully , was mean , mali
cious , ugly and morose , and had all the
prisoners down upon him , while on the
contrary Vollmcr was quiet and inoll'en-
sive and well liked.
