"A substantial majority of the stock of
the Southern Pacific company hat been
held by parties other than the Union Pa

of the minor points charged to have been
deprived of competitive opportunities by
the Hunting-ton purchase (axe shown to
have suffered from the result of that pur
chase. "On the contrary, hundreds of millions
of dollars have since 1901 been expended on
these roads. Their physical condition has
been vastly improved and their efficiency
for public service as well as for private
profit has been greatly enhanced. The
whole proof taken together, we think, fails
to disclose any conspiracy to restrain In
terstate or foreign commerce in violation
of the first action of the act.
"The same consideration led to tne con
clusion that no combination, or conspiracy

trade, or commeroe among- the states, or

Moreover, the fact that the Union Pacific

. ST. LOUIS. Mo., June N.-Judge Hook. In
' bis dissenting opinion, refers to the govern
ment's complaint of unlawful contract In
restraint of trade between the Southern and
Union Paclflo railroad, thus destroying and
auppresalng competition. lie says the com
bination was effected by the purchase by
the Union Pacific of part Of the stork of
the Southern Pacific road. Judge Hook
Bays there Is nq substantial difference be-
, tween the holding of the corporate stock of
two companies by a third, such aa was
condemned in the Northern Securities case
- and the holding by one of those two in the
stock of another. He said:
"It would be Idle to hold that while two
oompetillng railroad companlea cannot law-

aeparate stockholding organisation, they
may do so by dispensing with that medium.
That would be regarding shadows and let-

era Pacific roads were competitors, which
the majority opinion held to be against the
government, was a question of fact to be
decided by the testimony of many expert
witnesses, and these witnesses Judge Hook
holds gave conclusive testimony that
"there was active, vigorous and substan
tial competition."
The dissenting opinion says the decision
of the court was on two main grounds:
1. That the combination of competitive
traffic of the two systems was not a sub
stantial percentage of the total traffic,
and,
2. That trade was not restrained by the
combination, because the Union Pacific
was an Intermediate through route and de
pended for competitive traffic on connect
ing carriers, which, unaided, could not
make a through joint rate.
"This decision so greatly narrows the act
of congress that very little is left of it
when applied to railroads," the opinion
states.
"Under one or both of these tests the
Union Pacific could probably have law
fully purchased control of all the great
railroad systems in the United States."

KOHLSAAT .GIVES
HIS TESTIMONY
(Continued from First Page.)
elded to aJlow Lorlmer's counsel to ques
tion the motives which might have
prompted an official of the International
Harvester company to oppose Lorlmer's po
litical advancement. This gave Lorlmer's
counsel all the latitude they desired In
attacking the statement of Clarence S.
Funk, general manager of the International
Harvester company, that Edward Hines of
Chicago had asked that company to con
tribute $10,000 on account of Lorlmer's elec
tion expenses. .
Funk had testified that Hines asked him
on behalf of the Harvester company to
contribute that sum toward reimbursing
those who raised a $100,000 fund to meet
the costs of the election.
Attorney Hanecey for Mr. Lorimer re
ferred to the statement aa a "creation."
The attorney further said he desired to
show thatx there were reports that Senator
Lorimer waa not only opposed to the In
ternational Harvester company in connec
tion with the treatment of Jthe Chicago
river, but that ha was the moving spirit
behind tax procaedinga as a raault of which
the members of the McCormlck family,
who were Interested In the Harvester com
pany, were subjected to an Increase In
Uxes "from $8,000 or $0,000 to $500,000."
"I don't think Senator Lorimer had any
thing to do with it," said Mr. Hanecey.
"but his friends may have, and It was
reported Lorimer waa behind It."
Lorimer Mot Balc at Move.
Mr. Bancroft, the first witness, said he
knew little about the Chicago river, but
he discussed tax matters at length.
"Did you think Lorimer had anything to
do with the tax?" Inquired Hines.
'I think Mi. Hanecey was right when he
said Senator Lorimer had nothing to do
with it," said Mr. Bancroft. "We never
did suspect that he was behind It, We
knew the origin of the movement and we
knew it was not Lorimer," added the wit
ueas.
lieu man H. Kohlsaat, editor and pvo
llsher of the Chicago Record-Herald, aaa
the second witness of the day. Under x
amlnatlou by Attorney John H. Marble,
Mr. Kohlsaat gave his opinion of Senator
Lorimer.
"He is a dual character," declared Mr.
Kohlsaat. "In his private life I admire
him. He has beautiful children and his
home life Is ideal. But I have always op

Lorlutrrlani Defined by Kohlsaat.
"What is Lortmerlsm?" asked Senator
Kern.
"It la an affiliation and eo-operatlon and
cohesion of democrats and republicans Jfor
party pelr-for private pelf."
Roger C. Sullivan, democratic national
committeeman from Illinois; E. S. Conway,
president of the W. W. Kimball piano
company, and one of the Weyerhaeuser
were referred to by Mr. Kohlsaat as men
whose nanu-a were mentioned in the alleged
conversation between Funk and Hines re
garding the harvester company contribu
tion. Whether times mentioned them aa
men he would se about the Lorimer con
tribution or possible contributors, or aa
ill
mi. '
Interested in the election, Mr. Kohlsaat
did not recall.
Mr. Kohlsaat declared that former Presi
dent Roosevelt's refusal to attend tho
Hamilton club dinner last year if Senator
lorimer was to be present was the Out
come of the disclosure to him by the wit
ness of the alleged request for contributions
to reimburse those who raised tha Lorimer
election fund.
While detailing the Funk conversation
nearly the entire membership of the com
mittee urged Mr. Kohlsaat to give all the
names mentioned. Finally Mr. Kohlsaat
yielded.
"I have faced one jail sentence,". said he,
"but I give tha names now with the ex
planation that In no manner were reflec
tions cast upon them."
He mentioned Sullivan, Conway and one
of the Weyerhaeusers, but which one he
could" not say. He aald that Conway later
denied to him any knowledge of the $100,000
fund. The committee excused him from
mentioning the name of a man now dead
Kohlsaat Rewrote Editorial.
At the afternoon -session Mr. Kohlsaat
described how his paper happened to print
tha editorial which led directly to an In
quiry as to what the writer knew of an
alleged Lorimer corruption fund and In
directly to testify before the Helm com
mittee' regarding the Funk conversation.
Mr. Kohlsaat said he personally wrote the
"bug" in the editorial.
A silence followed. Evidently no one un
derstood what the "bug" was.
"The lines with the sting in them," ex
plained the witness, "were the lines asking
If no money waa spent to elect Lorimer,
what became of the $100,000 that waa sent
to Springfield?'. .
"Someone on our editorial staff suggested
an editorial on Senator Bailey' speech,"
continued the editor.
"I said to put In that question. The edi
torial was written, but the last lines did
not suit me, so I rewrote them.' , ,

MONDELL ON COAL LANDS
(Continued from First Pasre.)
tlon were not so serious It would be some
what relieved by the large element of grim
humor It contains In the assumption that
the government Is to secure at some time
in the future the extravagant prices which
have been laboriously figured out, and that
therefore those responsible for the classi
fications have added hundreds of millions
to the national wealth by the simple pro
cess of giving free reign to their Imagine-,
tlon.
"It should be remembered that most of
the coal in the publlo lands, estimated to
underly at least 60.000,000 acres, is lignite
or sub-bituminous coal and compared with
the best bituminous coals of tha eastern
part of the United States Is of low grade;
little of It will make coke and much of It
would not be sold In competition with high
grade bituminous coal.
Hlarher Than Prlvatelr Held Lands.
"The prices fixed by classification In all
the better fields are, however, very much
higher than the average prices asked by
private owners for the high grade bitumi
nous coal contained in lands In Illinois,
Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and
elsewhere. The surface 'of much of the
coal lands In the states mentioned Is valu
able, while the surface of most of the
government coal lands Is of trifling value
and can be aecured by homesteadlng, and
yet the average classified prices are higher
than Is asked for the better coals and
highly valuable surface In states adjacent
to ' markets. ' A disinterested investigation
will prove the truth of these assertions,
"It ia perhaps a matter of no present ma
terial consequence, though rather redlcu
lotis, That lands containing or which are
believed to contain by the geological sur
vey, lignite coal of poor or medium quality
and so remote from tranaportatlon and
markets aa to have no present value for
coal, should be valued at hundreds of dol
lars per acre, but it is a matter of the high
est Importance that coal lands in the vi
cinity of means of transportation and for
the product of'whlch enterprising men are
willing to take a chance of finding a mar
ket, are held at prices which prohibit de
velopment, create a monopoly In the mines
now in operation, and thua materially ad
vance the price of coal to the consumer In
a- country having millions of acres of coal
lands. The net result of the classification
policy In the Rocky mountain region has
been to prohibit the opening of new mines
and to Increase tha price of coal to the
consumer from 60 cents to $1.00 per ton.
"While the major portion of the coal
lands In fields of fajr or good quality, and
where transportation makes development
possible, have been valued for sale at from
1200 to $460 per acre, the highest price at
which any publlo coal land has been sold
Is $180 per acre, ad only two forty-acre
tracts at that price tracts probably es
sential to the establishment of. developed
mines. In 1SK eighty acres were sold at
$135 per acre; one tract of 160 acres was
sold at $76 per acre and' with these excep
tions andfone sale of forty acres at $66 per
acre, no coal lands have been sold at more
than M per acre; , ;
. " FeW Sales Made. - ' ,

"When we take into consideration that
this constitutes the entire coal land sales
by the government In over four years at
classified prices above $30 in Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Idaho. Montana, New
Mexico. North Dakota, South Dakota, Ore
gon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming,
where the government owns mlllLons of
acres . of Classified lands rated above the
highest price paid by these purchasers, we
(an realise how the coal Industry has been
paralysed by the prohibitive prices which
have been placed on coal lands.
"It Is conceded that If these exorbitant
prices are retained on coal landa and tha
remainder of the public coal lands are
listed at the same excessive prices, even
tually some high priced land will be sold,
for as the privately owned coal lands are
worked out, and tha coal sold at tha prices
which the government monopoly makes
posblble, the time will come when the ne
cessities of the people for fuel will compel
the sale of some of the government land,
no matter how high tha price may be, and
the people of the west will be compelled to
pay liberally for the monopoly thus fos
tered by government policy. In the mean
while no complaint has been or will be
heard of the new policy of exacting the
last possible penny for government coal
lands from the coal operators who own
large bodies of coal landa. The plan Is an
ideal one for them.
Coal Nat a l.axarr.
"If it ia to be urged that the high price now
asked for government coal land, far above
what the most grasping private owner
would think of asking, will conserve our
coal, we roust admit that It will have that
tendency by taking coal from the cata

a region whose fuel resources are Inex
haustible;. Practically none of the coal
from what Is now government land can
ever be profitably shipped east of the Mis
souri river, and If it could, Wyoming alone
could supply the entire country at our
present rata of consumption for over seven
hundred years according to government
estimates.
"The question of the disposition of the
coal on government land, so far as the
use of the coal Is concerned, is one af
fecting only the people of the country west
of the Missouri and the people of that re
gion, not blessed as Is the territory further
east, with bountiful supplies of high grade
bituminous coals, but nevertheless fortun
ate in an Inexhaustible supply of coal such
as it. Is, should not be expected to agree
to a policy which creates a monopoly by
government action and which contemplates
laying on them and their descendants a
burden for fuel amounting to many hun
dreds of millions of dollars, no part of
which Is proposed to be returned to the
people who pay It.
Asks for Earlier Action.
"I trust that you will find, time to give
this matter your careful consideration at
an early date. The policy of prohibitive
coal land pricea which proposes a grievous
burden on our people and an entire reversal
of our governmental policy, tias never been
approved by congress or formally endorsed
by any branch of our government. It has
simply grown out of a single bureau of the
Interior department and it haa been sug
gested that the determination to 'force a
coal leasing system on the country is
largely responsible for the prohibitive
pricea at which coal landa have been clas
sified. If the leasing system has virtues
and advantages, and no doubt It has some.
they should be apparent enough to bring
about the adoption of the system, other
wise than by prohibiting aalea of coal lands
through hostile administration of the coal
land law and prohibitive or grievously
burdensome coal land prices.
"Tha coal land law . as now interpreted
by the department is Inadequate In that
It renders practically impossible the as
sembling of a sufficient area for a modern
mine. The policy of Selling at a classified
price high enough to discourage purchases
of coal lands purely for speculation or fu
ture development haa ita advantages with
our law as interpreted In protecting ope
rators unable to secure large holdings
against purchases by others of land in ad
vance of and necessary to the extension
of their operations, with a view of specula
tion at their expense, but this merit and
such others as may be claimed for the
system of classification are entirely nega
tived by the extraordinary prices adopted
which create a burdensome monopoly In
coal lands and lead to a monopoly of coal
prices. We shall in all probability never
return to Uie nominal prices named In the
coal statute, but every consideration of
sound public policy dictates values that
shall not lay grievous burdens, not contem
plated ty congress, on the users of coat
In one portion of our country and every
proper purpose claimed for the policy of
classification will be served by values high
enough to discourage the purchase of coal
land for speculation. The experience of
the last few years seema to indicate that
with the possible exception of very rare
caaes, $60 per acre Is about a fair maxi
mum, rather than $500.
