gestion that the dividends were declared.
It was also at his suggestion that the an
nouncement was deferred. It was explained
that a number of directors of the com

nothing but fair that they should be ad

and Southern Pacifies were given authority
to announce, the dividends at such time as
they deemed .proper. Mr. Harrlman was
and Is chairman of both committees. The
committees were also authorised to des
ignate the funds from which the dividends
should be paid. What these funds were
could not be loarned today, but the com
mission wa promised a complete state
ment. laexplalaed Deal with Rockefeller.
From the minutes of the Oregon Short
Line executive committee. It was disclosed
that' In March, U08, Mr. Harrlman sold to
William Rockefeller 800,000 shares of the
Oregon Short Line's holdings of Southern
Pacific cqmmon stock. .A letter from Mr.
Rockefeller referring to their "agreement"
as to the stock was next placed In evi
dence. Mr. Rockefeller In November, 1903,
asked Mr. Harrlman to take back the
stock at the time Instead of waiting for
the expiration of the agreement In the
spring of 1904. The minutes of the Short
Line showed that the stock was bought
back from Mr. Rockefeller and ,lt was
further shown that he was paid a com
mission of $187,600. Today's witnesses knew
nothing concerning the agreement between
Mr. Harrlman and Mr. Rockefeller.
A subpoena was Issued for Mr. Rocke
feller to appear at such time as the com
mission shall designate. Mr. Harrlman,
when he la able to testify, will also be
asked regarding this abetment. -
Combine Stops Competition.
E. T. Jeffery. president of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad and affiliated lines,
was the first witness before the session of
the Interstate Commerce commission, which
is inquiring into the mergers Of the so
called Harrlman lines.
Mr. Jeffery described the Rio Grande
system and Its connections. It exchanged
business with' the Oregon Short Line and
Oregon Railroad and Navigation company.
When thd Union Pacific took control the
of the Southern Paclflo there was a shrink
age in the amount ot business received
by the Rio Grande from the Oregon lines,
"due, no doubt," added Mr. Jeffery. "to
the control the Union Pacific had of the
Southern Pacific."
Mr. Jeffery next described the Western
Pacific railroad, which has a line under
construction (rum Salt Lake City to San
Francisco.
The attention of the witness was called
to the letters between E. 11 Harrlman and
George J. Gould, In which Mr. Gould said
he had determined to support the building
of the Western Pacific and Mr. Harrlman
replied that he regretted the loss of Mr.
Gould's advice. Mr. Jeffery eald Mr. Gould
was largely Interested In the Rio Grands.
Ineineeted Dltnenltlea.
The witness read from a recent annual
report he had submitted to the Rio Grande
Oockholders. In which It was stated that
t'nlon Pacific control of Southern Pacific
lines had resulted in "unexpected difficul
ties" and "unlooked-for Impediments" In
ieltlng business through to the coast, and
therefore the building of competitive line
from Salt Lake City to Ban Francisco had
een undertaken to protect Rle Grande In
ereate. "Prior to the concentration were the

Union Pacific and Southern Pacific com
peting lines?" Mr. Severance asked.
"Within certain territory, yes," replied
the witness.
"Within what territory?"
"At Chicago, for Instance, the Union Pa
cific would compete for business to the
coast as against the Illinois Central, which
sought business to be handled to the west
by way of New Orleans and the Southern
Pacific. Not all the business was com
petitive, but there was competition at a
number of points."
Mr. Jeffrey was cross-examined by John
O. Mllburn of counsel for the Union Pacific.
Mr. Mllburn asked If it waa not true that
the great trunk lines leading west from
New . York are Just as keenly competing
today for California business agalnat the
Southern Puclflo steamers to New Orleans
as they were before the Union Paclflo con
trol of the Southern Pacific
Mr. Jeffrey replied that there was com
petition, but he would hesitate to say posi
tively that It was aa keen as formerly. The
trunk lines ultimately delfvered their Cali
fornia business to the Union Pacific. Some
of It also went to the Santa Fe.
Mr. Jeffery said the eastern business waa
bid for by commercial agents. At Pitta
burg, for Instance, the Union Paclflo and
Southern Paclflo formerly had their sepa
rate agents.
"Do you think," Mr. Jeffery waa asked,
"that the competition In Pittsburg Is as
keen today wlih only one agent thereT"
"It ! difficult for a man to compete with
himself."
"I think so myself," said the commis
sion's attorney.
"That opens a question," Mr. Mllburn
rejoined, "upon which we could take a mass
of testlrrony."
Mr. Jeffery repeated that the Rio Grande
buslnesa has been diminished by the Union
Paclflo and Southern Paclflo consolidation
and declared because of the consolidation
the Western Pacific was decided upon.
W. D. Cornish, vice president of the
Union Pacific and several other Harrlman
lines, was the next witness. Mr. Cornish
would not admit that the "four Pacifies''
were under the same operation.
"But the financial statements are con
solidated T" he waa asked.
"Yes." he said.
Disposition of Convertible Bonds.
Mr. Cornish waa questioned as to what
became of the tlUO.0UO.0UO of convertible
bonds Issued in March, 1901, by the Union
Paclflo Railway company, but be remem
bered few of the details. He said he pre
sumed the bonds were sold at less than
par. They were convertible Into common
stock, an Issue of tluO.OuO.OOO being made
at the same time the bonds were Isued.
"As a matter of fact." asked Mr. Kellogg,
"weren't these bonds tssued and the money
used to enable the Union Paclflo to specu
late In railway stocksT"
"I don't know how I can trace that
money," said Mr. Cornish. "Various sums
of money came Into the treasury and was
used in various ways."
"About this time, didn't the Union Pa
clflo buy about $ao,0u0.0uO worth of stock
In the Northern Pad fie railway?"
"I don't know, It was a large block." .
"It was a majority, wasn't Itf

"Wasn't the primary purpose of the bond
Issue to purchase Northern Paclflo stock?"
"My remembrance is that the bond Issue
had nothing to do with the Northern Pa
clflo purchase. That was a matter which
came up later."
"Did you ever have anything to do with
the purchase or sale of stocks?"
Mr. Cornish thought a long while and did
not answer, as counsel for the Union Pa
clflo came forward and eald. a statement
as to what had been done with the $100,000,
000 would be prepared for the commission.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
row People Know Bow Useful zt Is la
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs So, m Try.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest and most efficient disinfectant
and purifier in nature, but few realise Its
value when taken Into the human system
for the same cleansing purposes. t
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more yoq
take of It the better. It Is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and im
purities always present In the stomach and
Intestines and carries them out of the sys
tem. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok
ing, drinking or after eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion. It whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminent!)
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which col
lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money Is In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of
the finest powdered Willow charcoal and
other harmless antiseptics In tablet form
or rather In the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozengea, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much Improved condition of the
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
It Is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the con
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stu
art's Charcoal lozenges to all patients suf
fering from gaa In stomach and bowels, and
to clear the complexion and purify the
breath, mouth and throat; I atso believe
the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally
use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I
get more and better charcoal In Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges than In any of Ihn or
dinary charcoal tablets."
