The case came to the sup-erne court of t!e fnit' d Btate on cross eppeais by Har- r man and tne gcvernment from the de (lsion of tbe circuit court of the VnUed Ftates for the southern district of New Turk, holding that Mr. llarriman should be ( om)K.lied to make response to most of the other lines as the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the IHlno.s Central, the Chicago A: Alton and the New Tork Ceoiral.

When Mr. Harriman was put on the stand he declined In response to a question to say whether he had owned any of the Chicago a: Alton stock, which was pur chased by the t'nirm Pacrfic and the prices of which had been fixed by himself; whether a portion of the stock of the Illi nois Central had been acquired by a pool, of which be was a member with the view of selling it to tbe Vnion Pacific; and whether the Union Pacific directors were interested in the New Tork Central stock which was acquired by the Union Pacific. Be also Aecllned to say bow much of the stock of the Atchison, Tnpeka A- Santa Fe was owned by the directors of tbe Union Pacific The circuit court directea Mr. Harriman to reply to these questions and he responded by appealing to the supreme court. The apical of the government from the decision of the court was based upon the refusal of the lower court to compel Mr. Harrlmaa to answer a question as to whether he had t purcbeseS -stock in the T'nion Pacific in the Intention of an an nounced dividend. There was also a pro ceeding against Otto H. Kahn. a. member of the New Tork banking firm of Kuhn. Loeb Co., who were the financial ngents of the Union Pacific, similar to that against Harriman.
