YOIIK , July 1. The World to-morrowwill publish a long lutrrvlow with Jay Gould ,from which the following extracts are taken :
"How , In your estimation , otiht(; the gov-ernment
¬
to settle the claim against theUnion Pacific ?"
Mr. Uould said ho tlioucht the government.ought only to exact the principal of theJTInlon Pacific debt to It and ought to eivo-'the company Its own time In which-o pay. Then the company couldwatch the money market , nnd whenthat wns In n tnvurnblo state ,.could llnat bonds to pay otfthe Indebtedness.

chairman askctl Mr. Kosewator togive nny information concerning entriesof land by the Union 1'acilio companyother tliuti lands granted by the govern ¬
ment.-Mr.
.
. Hosowater said ho had no personalinformation directly as to such landsbeing entered by the company ; they hadacquired lands hero at dillbront times , asthey told him (Mr. Itosowater ) , under con-demnation
¬
prices for the bridge andrijrht of way in the city.
The chairman asked whether Mr. Hose ¬
water recalled the fact of it decision ofSecretary richurz , during his administra-tion
¬
of the interior department , with ref-erence
¬
to the lands of the Union Pacilic.-Mr.
.. Hosowater said ho recalled u case
made in Kansas , the Dudymot claim ,
brought into the land department of thegovernment and ruled upon by SecretarySchiuv. in 1879. The charter of the UnionPacilic made their lands disposed ofwithin three or live years after the com-pletion
¬
of the road subject to preemp-tion
¬
at 2.50 per aero. In 1877 the timeexpired in which the Union Pacific landgrant was to have been sold and the sec-retary
¬
ruled iu the Dudymot case iu1378. that these lands came under thatact , "and that the lands in Kansas , as wellas Nebraska , were subject to preemption-entry. . Shortly after that WilliamPlatt , an attorney and ajrent for theUnion Pacilic road at Grand Island , tookpossession of a quarter section of landunder this order of pro-omption grantedby Schurz. Thereupon the Union Pa-cilic
¬
made a legal process to eject himfrom the land and the case was carriedinto Judge Dnndy's court , Mr. Popplo-ton appearing for the Union Pacific andMr. Wakoly , who was an assistant attor-ney
¬for the Union Pacilic , appearing for
Platt.The jndgo ruled that Platt had no right
to pro-ompt the land and the case wascarried up and finally the supreme courtallirmcd the ( Incision , although as Mr-.Kosowatcr
.
had often charged , the casewas made up hero by the Union Pacilicand its attorneys.
After that case had been decided theorder of the secretary of the interior hadto bo revoked and the lands were madeonly subject to sale by the Union Pacific ,
on the ruling that the land grant bondwas a disposal of the land. Mr. Rose-water
-
did not know until last winter thatthe case made up by the railroadcompany's attorneys was notupon an unpatcntcd piece ofland or had boon made upon a picco-of land for which a patent had boon is-
sued¬
; so that the decision did not involveunpatcnted land.butlaudthathad alreadypassed from the control of the govern ¬
ment. This fact was stated to Mr. Rosn-water by Commissioner Sparks himself.-At
.the time the Platt case was pending
in the courts thcro were other cases thatdid touch the right of the railroad to ex-
clusively¬
control the sale of the unpat-cnted
¬
part of the land.-Mr.
.. Popploton asked Mr. Rosewater to
name any case that involved that ques-tion.
¬
. Mr. Uoscwnter replied that thecase of August Arndt was one. Arndtwas a citizen of Saundcrs county , andtook a quarter section of Union Pacificland that was not patented and made a-
preemption entry for that land. Litiga-tion
¬
began in the United States court , inthe winter or fall of '81 ; the case wasnbout to bo tried in Omaha , when AugustArudt was arrested on the charge of as-
sassinating¬
the clcrK of the district court ,Watson U. Smith. Arndt was taken tojail and no person , not oven his wife , al-
lowed¬
to see or communicate with him.-
Ho.
was kept in jail for some-time , until the grand jury madean investigation. and they failingto find any proof that he was the assassin ,
discharged luna. At the time of his ar-rest
¬
, Arndt told Mr. Rosewater that hohad the documents and papers relatingto his land claims in a trunk in the hotelin which ho was stopping in this city ;
that the trunk was taken and brokenopen by some officers preforming to lookafter evidence in the assassination case ,
and the documents bearing upon thisrailroad land suit wore stolen and carriedaway ; but that was not the end of tlio-caso. . Arndt was rearrested in January ,1883 , on the charge of baring threatenedthe lifo of Judge Dundy on account ofthis treatment , llo was taken to Lincolnand tried and convi9tcd of this charge ,although the judge himself testified thatho had no fear and did not believe thatArndt intended to murder him. TheTanner's Alliance of this state hold ameeting and denounced that treatmentand asked Senator Van yck to presenta petition to the president for his pardon-.Arndt
.
told Mr. Rosewater that ho andhis lawyers had full confidence in theirability to establish his rights to the pre-
emption¬
, and that ho had a clear case inwhich this question might have beentested-
.lly.
Commissioner Littler How do youconnect the Union Pacilic or any ot itsolHcers with thcso criminal proceedings ?
Mr. Roaewatcr They have managedin some way to have a great deal of infiu-enco
-
upon the court otllcers in this city.The United States marshal and his depu-ties
¬
have had annual passes and chargedthe government ten cents a railo for everymilo they liavo travelled on those passes ,
those passes come to thousands andthousands of dollars.-
Hy.
Commissioner Dn you know thatIn making up tlio milcago account , themarshal is compelled to swear that hotraveled no part of the way on frcopasses ?
Mr. Roscwator I don't know that , but1 do know that the marshal and his dep-uty
¬
traveled on n frco pass. I saw onodeputy myself travel that way ; ho toldmo that ho had to divide his mileage feesfor travel with the marshal.
Commissioner Littler Ho ought to boprosecuted before the grand jury.-
Mr..
. Kosewatcr I have nothing to dowith that.
Commissioner LSttlor How long hasthat practice been in force hero ?
Mr. Rosewater I believe it has beenin force hero over since the railroadshave run politics in this stato.
Commissioner LiUler How long hasthat been ?
Mr. Rosewater Twolvn or fifteenyears it lias been done under all themarshals , and all the maistial.s harnshown n Tory actiro subservience to therailroads.-
lly.
Mr. Poppleton. Has the prao-tico
-. of the Union Paciiio in respect to theissuing to public olHcjnl of pii §ei in thisstate been dillcrcnl from tu t of otherrailroadir-
A. . -I. don't know what the ofother railroad !! hai been , but 1 claim thatall the railroads are wrong. Tfeej liavo
all been operated against the public's in-
terests¬
in that policy.-Q.
.. Do you know whether the United
States marshals ever had passes On otherroadsf-
A. . Yes , I saw th6 passes.-Q.
.
. Have you any doubt but what theyhave been treated substantially alike bythe dillbrcnt roads ?
A.---No , sir.-Q.
.
. Don't you know that the tract ofground involved m the Platt case wasactually occupied by Platt , and had beenactually occupied by him prior to anyother person who over settled on it , andthat that was the reason why ho set uphis claim of pre-emption , and was en-abled
¬
to sot it UP ?A. 1 don't know of my own knowl-
edge¬
anything of the kind. 1 onlyunderstood that at the time ho took pos-session
¬
( J. You say ho took possession ?A. Yes , sir.-Q.
.. Now don't you know that ho had
been in the occupancy of it for years ?
A. That is possible. I did not know it-at the time it was pending in the courts.-I
.
know simply that it was a test casebrought for the purpose.-
Q..
. What you said and what you havetestified to was , that he went into posses-sion
¬
of this tract of land after Schurzmade this decision ; now 1 ask you if youdo not know that that is untrue , and thatho had been in the occupancy of it forten or fifteen vear.s ?
A. I don't know that. Hut if ho hadLeon in possession of it for ten or fifteenyears , it was his ground. 1 don'tf-ee what the road had to-do with it. It certainly washis , if the government cave him a patentfor it. It tlio government had issued apatent after those thrco years had ex-pired
¬
, ami Mr. decision wascorrect , that patent was a nullity.-
Q..
. The August Arndt case Don't.you know that Judge Miller decidedthat Arndt had no title whatever to thatland ?
A. It was decided after the papersthat wore made to him had been stolen.-
Q..
. That is about as true as auvthingelse you have testified to , is it ?
A. It is true yes , sir.-Q.
.. Then if it should turn out that
Arndt's arrest was after that decision ,then you would have testified to whatwould bo false , would you not ?
A. Not necessarily.-Q.
.
. If it should turn out that that wasdecided before Arndt was arrested forkilling Watson B , Smith , than your testi-mony
¬
wouldn't' bo true on that subject ?A. There I might bo mistaken , but
there was a case pending and it wasabout to bo tried when ho was arrested.-
Q..
. Do you know anything about thisexcept what Arndt has told you ?
A. Nothing more than what his law-yers
¬
liavo said.-Q.
.
. Don'tyou know that Arndt hasbeen repeatedly impeached in court byswarms of witnesses who said theywouldn't believe him under oalli ?
A. 1 don't know anything about it.-
Q..
. Don't you know ho is an avowedanarchist and assassinator that isto say ,ho believes in assassination as a remedyfor civil wrong and avows it ?
A. 1 don't know nny thing of the kind.-Q.
.. Now , isn't it a fact that since you
started the Hun you have been individu-ally
¬
in a chronic state of hostility to therailroad , and tiiat that has boon yourstock in trade and the stock in trade ofyour newspaper ?
A. 1 will deny that in toto. I havesimply been opposed to the methodswhich the railroads of this statehave pursued , and the policieswhich they liavo carried on , thathave bcon oppressive to tlio peo-ple
¬
interfering with tlio political aliairs-of the state in violation of their charterobligations.-
Q..
. You admit that yon have been inopposition to them ?
A. I have boon not in opposition tothe railroads , but in opposition to themen who managed the railroads.-
Q..
. Haven't you assailed almost everymanager of the H. & M. and of theUnion Pacilic railroad company, who hashad charge hero , up to the time that Mr-.Calluway
.came into oflico ?
A. No sir , I don't remember that Iassailed Mr. Touxalin. Ho was managerof the U. & M. before Mr. Callaway cameinto the Union Pacific. I haven't assailedthorn oxeopt when their own conduct andthat of their subordinates wore criminallydishonest and dangerous to public safety.-
Q..
. la Mr. Touialm tlio only man youcan think of that you have not assailed ?
A. There are numbcr.s of other menwhom I could mention.-
Q..
. Mention all you can.-A.
.
. You spoke of managers of railroads. I have not assailed tlio managerson the other side of the river , cxcoptthe Northwestern , who have robbed ourpeople by favoritism anil discrimination
Q. You were professionally a tele-graph
¬
operator , originally ?
A. Yes ; for thirteen years.-Q.
.. Where wcro you employed in that
business whou the war broke out ?
A. When the war broke out I wasemployed in tlio state of Alabama.-
Q..
. You were operator within the linesof the southern confederacy , then , at thetime when the war broke out ?
A. 1 os , I was operator , working forthe SouthwosternJTiilograph company.-
Q..
. Isn't it a fact you have boon re-
peatedly¬
charged with being a memberof a committee who received Joll'Davis ,
at Montgomery , when ho wont there totake possession of the southern confed-eracy
¬
?
A. 1 have not only boon charged withit , but it is true. Now J want to answertliis question fully.
The Chairman Lot the witness explain ,judgo.-
Mr..
. Poppleton After ho gota throughanswering my question ho can explain.
The Witness I want to explain it now ,because it is a matter that has booncharged frequently ami there are partieswho have boon convicted hero in thecourts for charging mo with being arebel.-
Mr..
. Poppleton Who are they ?
A. Casper E. Yost is ono and KrodNye is another both of thorn wore pro-prietors
¬
of the Republican.The Chairman The war is over , judge.-Mr.
.. Popploton Well , I don't know ;
there is some talk about the return of thetlags.
The Chairman Well , if you bring upthat issue you had bettor lot us knowwhether you are going to wave thebloodv blurt.
The Witness The facts are thcso : Iwas located in Stevenson , Alabama , fromJuly , 1859 , until March , 1801. WhenJoti'creon Davis was United States sena-tor
¬
representing the state of Mississippi ,
ho stopped over at Stevenson twice , amicalled at the telegraph ulliro and sentdispatches. It was in that way that Imade his acquaintance. When ho waselected president of the southern con-federacy
¬
ho was on his way to Mont ¬
gomery. Stevenson , Ala. , nt thattime was a very email place , with onlyperhaps four or live hundred people. It-su happened that no person in the placehad over met Davis , nor could pointhim out. He arrived at night at10 o'clock on the train. A com-mittee
¬was appointed by the citi-
zens¬
, who wanted him to make a speech.They added inn to the committee , simplyto go and introduce him , or point himout. i went into the car and pointedhim out. That was my whole connectionwith the matter. If that was any crime ,you can make the most of it.-
Q..
. From there , after you got throughthe rebel lines , where did you go to workthen ?
A. For Uncle Sam. I enlisted atWheeling , W. Va. , took the oath, and en-tered
¬
the U , S. army , and went with( jonur l Fremont through the entire cam-paign
¬
of West Virginia. After that I wasassigned to the navyyardat Washington ,with Commodore Danlgren , and in thelatter part of July , 1863,1 made an appli ¬
cation to General Pope , to accompanyhim on the way to Ulctiraond , and wasassigned to his stall' . 1 accompaniedGeneral Pope through the entire cam-paign from Warrenton to the Rapldan ,
and back to Hull Run. 1 was at thebattle of Hull Run. After that 1 was as-signed
¬
to the : department , and re-
mained¬
thcro until 1 came to this. So that you wore the confidential
operator of II a flock , Stauton and Lincolnduring the Virginia campaign , were younot ?
A.-Yos , sir.-Q.
.. Now can you toll why it was aad
how it happened that'' Leo had such com-plete
¬
ami oxhanstlvp; information of theplans of those throe men ? Do you knowanything about that ?
A. That may not enter into this in-vestigation
¬
, but I will answer it. It wasnotorious when I was in the war depart-ment
¬
, that thcro wore leaks in that de-partment
¬
, and that there were dispatchessent ; sub-marina wires had been laidacross the Potomoc. For instance , at thetime that Fredencksburg was stormed byHurnsldo , that information was smuggledacross to tlio rebels through the lines bywire In some way. Suspicion rested uponthe wives of certain army olllcers whowore southern women , and who , in con-nection
¬
with southern people , managedto transmit information through the liuc.s.-
Q..
. Do you not know us a matter offact , and haven't the robcl archives dis-closed
¬
tlio fact , that telegrams havepassed from tlio war department , andwcro in tlio possession of Leo ?
A That is possible. I haven't ex-amined
¬
the archives.-Q.
.
. How long did you stay in the wardepartment ?
A. Until tlio summer of 1863 , when Icame out hero. After the battle of HullRun in 1803 I took my place in the wardepartment and remained there until Icame out hero.-
Q..
. You were not there , then , previousto the battle of Gettysburg ?
A. No , sir , I was in Omaha when thebattle of Gettysburg took place no ,
como to think of it , I didn't get hereuntil a few weeks later. 1 was in Cleve-land
¬
at that time.-J.
.
( J. General Longstrect thought thatwhen ho got ready to move towardsGettysburg ho sent his spy towardsWashington , and that ho came back withtlio complete plans of the disposition of-
Mead's army in its advance on Gettys-burg.
¬
. Do you know anything about howthat information got to him ?
A. No , i would not , certainly. Iknow 1 was charged hero withbeing a rebel spy , and 1brought suit and had it triedin this county two jcars ago , and atthat trial I produced tlio deposition ofGeneral Ansou Stager , the head of themilitary telegraph corps , stating that liehad the fullest confidence in my loyaltyand integrity. My people all have livedin Ohio , ami I went south as n freesoilor-I don't think , therefore , that anybody canattach any sympathy with the rebellionto mo. The fact is , the whole story orig-inated
¬
in this building , just us all schemesof persecution and falsehood that havecirculated against mo have originated inthis building , and thcs'o men , who wantedto crush mo , sought to trample mo undertheir feet and uosmltch my reputationthrough their organ.-
Q..
. Hut you ad mi i , these facts to botrue ?
A. I admit that I was in the army andrisked my lite for my country , which ismore than can bo f :iid of many menabout hero like Tlulrston and otherswhom 1 could name.-
Q..
. Do you know the name of the oper-orator who sent that telegram that youproduced hero ?
A. I know what bacame of him , but I-
do not remember his name.-Q.
.
. What did become of him ?
A. Ho was discharged by tlio WesternUnion people. He enlisted in the regulararmy and served about live years. Ho-linafly became a vagabond and passedthrough hero and went down to St. Louisin a dissipated condition. This is all 1know about him.-
Q..
. Now what did you pay that fellowfor that dispatch ?
A. I never paid him ono dollar for thedispatcli or anything connected with it ,
and after ho was discharged a collectionwas made up among the republicans herefor him. I contributed my part to scudhim away from Omaha.-
lly.
Commissioner Littler Is it truethat you at any time betrayed your olli-cial
-
trust when you were connected withthe government telegraph works at Wash-ington
¬
, or betrayed the government inany respect whatever during tlio wholeDuriod of your connection with the pub-lic
¬
service ?
A , Why , of course , it is not true. If-
I had been disposed to make use of theinformation I got there , I could havebeen a millionaire. It may bo a littleinteresting to some of you. During thewar quotations wore sent into tlio wardepartment daily of stocks and goldto Edward S. Sanford , who was the gov-ernment
¬
censor of dispatches. Everybatllo changed the value of stocks andgold , and very often information aboutbattles wore hold back , and there is notany doubt in my mind but that an im-
mense¬
amount of stock gambling wascarried on by the censors. 1 have thecortilicato of General Eckert , who is nowgeneral manager of the Western Unionlines , accepting my resignation from thearmy military telegraph corps , andnot only that , but the NationalSociety of the United States mili-tary
¬
corps , of which I am a member ,
elected mo as its vice president two sue-scssivo
-
tnrms , and I have for six yearsboon a member of its congressional com-mittee looking after legislation to recog-nize
¬
its services.-Q.
.
. Then it is not true ?
A. It is not true. 1 have two volumesof the history of thu United States mili-tary
¬
telegraph corps , in which my nameis frequently mentioned for service in theHold and in the war department.-
Q.
.
. You were not discharge' ' from theservice , but resigned ?
A. I resigned.-Q.
.
. Voluntarily ?
A. Voluntarily.-By
.
the Chairman What knowledgehave yon of the coaL dealings of theUnion Pacilic compafay in thuir ship-ments
¬
from the Rock3Spring.s coal mines ?
A. Well , I have a gouoral knowledge ,
only , such as has boom published fromtime to time and given'to mo by partiesresiding along the road-and people horo.The coal supply S6f Nebraska hasbeen principally Wyoming coal. Thecompany has chargcl a's high a rate ntSidney and North i'latto as Omaha whereit is much farther away. I have alsobeen informed that at times , in order tobreak down all competition , the companyhas in some cases tattuh possession , byforce , of mines and operated thorn , andin other oases , by discrimination , havedestroyed tin ; hnsinefsjof parties whohave attempted to ilollfii mining. Thereis Jake Morrow , for loflo , and Wardoll ,for aqother , who hadMnlncs in the neigh-borhood
¬of Rock Spring. I have been
told that Wyoming coal was bouirht atalmost nothing , and carried out there Inorder to break up these parties clearacross to the neighborhood of Cheyenneand delivered there at a much lower pricethan the parties who wora mining coalIn Wyoming could deliver It at.
There is another thing that was partic-ularly
¬
wrong to my mind , and that is thatthe government has paid $14 per ton , if1 remember riuht. for carrying coal fromReek Spring )) to Omaha , when coal couldbo bought for 7.50 in Omaha. This Ihad from the quartermaster's clerk , whokept the accounts between thu govern-ment
¬
and the roads. The governmentconsumes an enormous amount of coalhero. This coal was all from a contractorout there , who was really an employe ofthe Union Pacific , of a firm called Heck-worth & Quinn , out at the mines , andthen brought In here , to that it cost more
than double. Hut the record will showwhat that is-
.Hy.
Commisslbncr Littler What is hisname ?
A. His name Is Patrick. Ho-
is now in Washington City.-Ho
.is n democrat , and has
been trying to got a position In the de-partments
¬
siuco Cleveland came intopower.-
Hv.the Chairman Who were Heck-
worth & Quinn ?
A. 1 think that is a sham firm. 1
think the firm itself is simply made up ofmen who got so much for the mining ofcoal from the company In Wyoming. Ithink they are nothing moio than cm-ploys of tlie Union Paeillc.
Mr. Popploton Wasn't this man hab-itually drunk when not on duty ? Washe not a common loafer ?
A I know ho was not a loafer. Howas in the government employ for agood many Jyears but ho was addictedto drinking.-
Mr..
. 1'ntor A. Doy , the chairman of theIowa railroad commission , who was nextcalled , said ho had bcon sent out by Mr-.Fartiam
.
, of the Union Pacific road in 1SC.J. ,
in order to find a practical route for tlioUnion Pacific road. Ho wont as far westas Salt Lake City. In ISO'J , shortly afterthe Union Pacific company was organ-ized
¬
, Mr. Doy surveyed a portion of theroute for the road. Ho was afterwardappointed chief engineer ot the road , andremained In tlio service of the companyuntil 180 ,
") , when ho resigned. Whenasked why ho had resigned tlio witnesssaid ho had made a survey through thePlatte Valley and sent an estimate of thecost of building the road through it tothe Union Pacilic company. Stockholdersof the road iu New York Jclty objected tothe estimate as entirely too low. Thelirst estimate placed the cost of tlio con-struction
¬
of the road and its equipmentat $30,000 per mile. A contract drawnui by Mr. llovio was sent to witness , atwhich the cost of constructing the. roadwas placed at ?30,000 per mile. Ho feltthat an attempt was being made to usehim for somebody who wanted to makean exorbitant contract and accordinglyresigned.-
Heing.asked what suggestions ho had
to oiler based on the supposition that theUnion Pacific road was mortgaged formore than it was worth , ho replied thatthe government ought to extend tlio timefor the payment of the indebtedness duoto it as long as possible. Mr. Dey alsothought tlio Union Pacilic road could boparalleled '.'00 miles Irom Omaha at $20-000
, -per mile.
When asked what efl'ect the poolingsystem had on business the witness saidthat pooling was principally beneficialto railroads. The only benefit the peo-ple
¬
derived from it was u uniformity of-
rates. . Tlio pooling system nlaccd ship-pers
¬
at the mercy of any rates the rail-roads
¬
chose to fix-.On
.
being asked about the constructivemileage system , Mr. Dey thought thatroads could afford to carry freight at alower rate between points on thebranches and largo cities onthe main line , than betweenpoints on the branch line , because of thegreater opportunity ottered in shipmentsto larso cities on the main line , of load-inir
-
tlio cars back.The next witness called was Hon.
John A. McShanc. lie said in answer toquestions that ho had had business rela-tions
¬
with the Union Pacific road since1872 in the shipment of cattle , llo hadnever received any preferences in ratesat thu hands of the company. Ho re-ceived
¬
special rates , but they wcro pub-lished
¬
rates and all shippers of cattle , sofar as he know , had received them. Therehad been rumors , however , of discrima-lions against certain persons and localit-ies.
¬
. These rumors were the most com-mon during legislatures. When askedwhat part , so far as ho know , the UnionPacilic road had taken in influencinglegislation , he said lie presumed that theroad had representatives in the legisla-tures
¬
to prevent bad legislation , "That-is , " added Mr. AlcShano smiling , "legis-lation
¬
again t their interests. "When asked what plan the government
should adopt with reference to the UnionPacilic road , Mr. McShanc said that as-ho might bo obliged to pass on the ques-tion
¬
ollieially he would prefer not tocommit himself.
Anton Grantor , who was next called ,
said he had lived in Omaha twenty-oneyears and hnd been employed as draught-man In the U. P. shops. When asked if hisname had bcon used by the Union Pa-cilic
¬
company in the purchase of huul hosaid Mr. Gordon told him the companywanted all the odd sections in Utah andhad him sign a paper.Vhon asked howho know that the paper related to theland , ho said ho wanted to know wherehis name went to.and asked Mr. Gordon.That gentleman hail then told him whatthe paper was.
Auditor Young next produced state-ments
¬
showing the gross receipts of theKansas Paciiio road from September 23 ,
1870 to 18SO ; the Union Pacific systemfrom 1803 to January 3 , 1830. also Feb-ruary
¬
1 , 1830 to January 23 , 1887-."I
.want to say to j'ou , " said
Governor Pattison , "that these state-ments
¬
only show the cash receipts of theUnion Pacific company. It should showall receipts of every kind and form what-soever
¬
, and I call for a statement show-ing
¬
such receipts. ""I told you m my testimony , " said
Auditor Young , "that the gross receiptshad no connection with tlio gross earn ¬
ings. "After some discussion Mr. Young said
the receipts of the company from allsources were included in the statementsubmitted.
Freight Manager Kimball was nextasked what calls no had ready , and sub-mitted
¬
the balance of his statementin answer to the interrogations in regardto rebates. Ho also submitted a state-ment
¬
, giving the population of the coun-ties
¬
through which the Union Pacilic roadand its brachcs passed ; also the ratescharged on the return of tank cars ofthe Standard and Continental Oil com-panies
¬
from 1878 to 1880 ; the not specialrates allowed to Murphy , Grant As Co.
1) . O. Clark , superintendent of tlioUnion Pacilic coal departmentSince 1871 , was next called. Hoforothat , from 1803 until 1874 , ho wasconnected with the Wyoming coal com ¬
pany. Ho didn't know who were themembers of the Wyoming coal company.-As
.superintendent of the coal department
ho had nothing to do with the acquire-ment
¬
of coal lands by the company. Thelauds were acquired by pur-chase. . Many of the mines wereopened before the lands wcro sureyovd.Lands were not opened by the companyuntil :i title had been acquired by thecompany. There was ono case , witnessremembered , where a mine was openedon indemnity land.
Witness had control , to a certain ex-tent
-
, of the price of coal. It was sup-posed
¬
to bo furnished to the coinpanv atwhat it cost to put it on the cars. Whenasked if all dealers in Union Pacific coalalong tlio line had received the samerates on coal shipment * , the witness re-
plied¬
that they did ; no rebates or prefer-ential
¬
rates wore allowed to anybody ex-
cept-
during Juno , July ami ; August , topay dealers for carrying tlio coal overwhoa there are few grain shipments andtlio company can employ its cars in haul-ing
¬
this coal.Being asked whether Rock Springs coal
was hauled at. a higher rate to Sidneythan to Omaha , Mr. Clark said this wasnot true so far as ho know.-
A..
. J. Popploton was next called. Hostated that ho was the general solicitor ofthe road. Up to July 1180J. ho had sim-ply
¬
bcon paid for what ho did and wasnot expected to sign vouchers. .SincoJanuary 1,1830 , his conucclbii with theroad had been closer , and ho had beenin the habit of nlgnlng vouchers.
The witness was shown a voucher infavor of N. H. Hoxio for services at Lin-coln
¬
during the session of the legislaturein January 1809J for | 1000. The voucher ,
witness admitted , was In Mi hand writ-nig
-, and was signed by General Malinger
Suyder of the Union Pacific road. Wit-ness
¬
couldn't remember , however , thefacts iu the case and was Unable to ex-plain
¬
the voucher. A voucher for fl.COOiu favor of Wells Brewer of IXMIO Tree ,
for .services rendered in Merrick countyon March ll,18S () . The voucher was cer-tified
¬
by Mr. Poppleton by S. H. II.Clark as general superintendent of tlio-road. . Mr. Popploton was also unable toexplain this voucher. A voucher in favorM. II. Sessions of Lincoln , Neb. , for ser-vices
¬
rendered in August,1875 , In defend-ing
¬
agents charged with inlluencing anelection in Mornek county on the subjectof aiding the Midland Pacific road with|? 1SO,000 in bonds in building to CentralCity. Mr. Poppleton said that the bondswore defeated and that an agent of theUnion Pacilic road was chargedwith using illegitimate means In bring ¬
ing about this result. Mr. Sessions de-fended
¬
him and the bill was for this .ser-vice.
¬
. The witness was shown a voucherin favor of J. M. Thurston for legal sor-vlees
-
rendered at the supreme court ,while in session at Lincoln , but had norecollection as to the circumstances ofthe case. A number of other voucherswere shown to ( ho witness in favor ofJ. M. Thurston , but ho had no recollec-tion
¬
of the facts in llio cases referredto.Mr.
. Popplotan was asked who WilliamR. Steele was. Ho replied that ho hadboon an attorney of theroadinClicyonno.from 1809 to 1870. Ho was then electeddelegate to the territorial legislature , llowas then asked to explain a voucher iufavor of Mr. Stcolo for sjT.OO. , dated Janu-ary
¬
31.1871) ) . Mr. Poppleton then saidthat Mr. Steele had probably at thattime resumed his place as attorney torthe company , as witness believed ho hadbeen defeated as a candidate for reelec-tion
¬
to tlio legislature. The witness de-clared
¬
emphatically that this money hadnot been paid him while a member of-tlio legislature.-

SKSSIOX.John J. Diekey , the superintendent of-
thu Pacilic Telegraph company and of theWestern Union telegraph lines along tlioUnion Pacilic road , was the lirst witnesscalled nt the afternoon session , lie alsostated that he was vice president , of theNebraska Telephone company. Mr. Kim-ball
-
and himself were the only olllcers ofthe Union Pacific who had stock in thetelephone company so far as he know.There was no contract between the Pa-cific
¬
telegraph company and tlio tele-phone
-
company.When asked now the profits wore di-
vided¬
between the Pacilic and WesternUnion Telegraph companies , Mr. Dickeysaid each company cccgivcd 00 ]jcr cunt-of the profits , llio gross receipts lastyear amounted to 10000. The UnionPacific's share of the not profits was5700000. For 18SH they amounted to$03.031.8Mr. . Dickey was asked to pro-duce a statement showing llio not yearlyreceipts of the Union Pacific companyfrom its telegraph lines since he had beensuperintendent.
Auditor Voting , at the end of Mr. Dick ¬
ey's examination , submitted a statementshowing the svstom of bookkeepingin tlie land department and also astatement of the gross receiptsof the Union Pacilic companyfor the year 1835. Governor Pattisonthen called for statements showing tliegross receipts of the. company from thebeginning. This called forth quite anargument on the part of Mr. Popploton-as to the meaning of the terms "gross re-coipte.
-
. " Governor Pattieonsaid"he couldmake himself no clearer if ho explaineduntil the crack of doom. After somefurther talk Mr. Poppleton questionedthe authority of the commission underthe act of congress , to ask for the grossreceipts. Judge Littler read the sectionof the act on this point and found thattlio word "gross earnings" was used-.D"l
.
don't see what authority this com-mission
¬
has to infer that the act don'tmean what it savs when it says "grossearnings , " said Mr. Poppleton.-
"Wo.
have discovered in tlio course ofthis investigation , " said Governor Patti ¬
son , with an emphatic gesture , "that-'gross receipts' and 'gross earnings' arcnot synonymous ; that there are thou-sands
¬
of dollars' difference between thetwo , and wo want the .statement calledfor so that wo can find the difierenco. "
"I have all the light I want on the sub-ject
¬
, " continued the governor , his voicerisinir as ho spoke , "and if the companydon't choose to furnish this information ,1 , as a commissioner , will report my sen-timents
¬
on the subject. 1 simply ask forthese statements in justice to the coin-pan v. "
"Well , " said Mr. Poppleton , "if tliestatement for 1835 Is what the I'ommis-sion
-
wants , the only thing to do is to gothrough the books and make out similarstatements for the other years , as nearlyas it can be done. They can then go onthe record and it won't'bo necessary forthe commission to report its sentiments. "
Mr. Poppleton was then placed on thestand and asked to explain a scries ofvouchers for legal expenses of the UnionPacific road. Ono of those voucherswas in favor of the lawyers on both sidesot the Platte case referred to in Mr-.Rosewator's
.
testimony. Mr. Popplotousaid ho had gone to Platte after Mr-.Sehurt's
.
decision and told him that ifthe company was not entitled to the landhe occupied that the company wouldprefer that ho should have it in prefer-ence
¬
to anybody else , and the mit wasaccordingly brought as a test ease todetermine the rights of the UnionPacilic road with respect to landgrants. The witness was shown a num-ber
¬
of vouchers in favor of John M-
.Thurston.
and oilier attorneys for"special" service , and asked to explain.-
"Tho.
salary of an attorney in the legit-imate
¬
legal business of the road wouldn'tbo charged as 'special services , ' wouldIt ? " said Governor I'attison.
The witness said ho wouldn't have socharged up a salary , but couldn't explainthe vouchers. One was dated January31 , 1881 , and was for special servicesfrom "October 31 to date."
Governor Pattison showed Mr. Popplo ¬
ton a statement from J. G. Mclntiro ,
proprietor of the Arlington hotel at Lin-coln
¬
, charging the Union Pacific com-pany
¬
with board and roomsj ! and 10 forthirty-one days , preceding January 31 ,1883 , 180.00 ; rooms 31 and 32 , thirtv-onodays from said date , f333.50 ; also boardand rooms 9 and 10 twenty and a halfdays , from February 37 , 1833 , $13 ! ) . 15 ;
also hrcs 1035. Tlio bill was accom-panied
¬
by a voucher signed by John M-
.Thur.ston..
. "for hotel bill of self and em-ployes
¬
of comoany at Lincoln for Jan-uary
¬
and February , 099. " Mr. Popplo-ton said ho could not explain thisas Ins name was not signed to itand ho knew nothing about it.The witness was shown a large numberof vouchers in favor ( if John M. Thur-s-ton for special services as attorney. Howas unable to explain thcso , but thoughtthey represented his salary during themonths given-
."Ho.
don't seum to have received anyregular salary , " observed Judge Littler.-"Ho
.
anly seems to have performed specialservices' "
While on the stand Mr. Popploton saidtlm telegram produced by Mr. Rosewaterwas sent solely with rofercnc.i to Mr.-
Grebo..
. Witness in sending the ttilegramwas solely influenced by the motive ofsecuring a man who would carry out thelaw. The road at that time waa infestedwith three-card mouto men , and Mr-.Grcbo
.
had been more successful than any-one else in dealing with them. The suc-cessful
¬
management of the road said Mr-.Poppleton
.
, depended on the ollioioncy ofthose charged with carrying out the Jaw ,
mid the sending of that telegram was notin pursuance of a general attempt to con-
trol¬
elections in the intorant of the UnionPaoifio road. Ho supposed that the em-ployes
¬
would bo willing to vnto fer Mr.Grebe for the reasons ho liad stated.-
"My.
position on that occasion , " saidMr. I'opploton , "has bocn justified by the
fact that Mr. Grebe has been kept In Hitolllce of deputy sherlu" over since untilabout two months ago when ho resigned.-I
.
wquld do tlio game thing again underthe same circumstance. * . "
Toward the end of Mr. Poppleton ' .< ex-amination
¬
General Trnlllc Manager Kim-ball
-
entered mid look a seat. As Mr.Poptiluton was leaving tlio stand , JudgeLittler turned to Gorornor Pattison andsaid with a Jiearty laugh-
."Hero's.
Kimball in an opportune mo-ment.
¬. He's a standing witness-
"Very'
well , ' said Governor' Pattison ,directing his attention to Mr. Kimball ,"we'll hear von , "
Mr. Kimball said ho had a statementshowing the diversion of tralllo to otherroads by the Union Pacific and fromother roads to tlio Union Pacific underpools. llo also submitted .statement *showing tlm rebates and overchargespaid by the L'nion Pacific company to theConsolidated Oil company from 1883Until Juno '"J , 18S7 ; the amount paid theContinental Oil company tromlSSl untt1887 ; tlio amounts paid the Standard Oilcompany from 1830 to 1887 ; and theamount paid by the Standard Oil com-pany
¬
on returning tank cars , from 1831-to IfcS'J.' A statement had been called forshowing the amount charged other ship ¬pers for hauling hack empty tank carsdining this period. Mr. Kimball saidthere was no record of any tank carsbeing hauled back for other oil compan ¬
ies during this period.Governor Pattison , holding n letter in
his hand addressed to the commission ,inquired if it wns true that if a ear loadot oats , lumber or coal is purchased at acertain price , It is invoiced to the com-pany
¬at a higher price. Mr. Young , of
whom the question was linked , repliedthat purchases wore charged up to ex-penses
¬
at the original price plus thefreight and the eost of handling.-
At.
the conclusion of Auditor Young'stestimony , Judge Littler said if any ofthe ollicurs of tlio company desired tomake any additional statements in re-gard
¬
to the Lnion Pacific property theymight do so.
Mr. Kimball said ho had alreadymilled his views in writing. Mr. Pop ¬
pleton said that whilT ) ho had very de-cided
¬
views in regard to the imfnago-meiit
-
of tlio Union Pacific road and itsdisposition by congrcis ho was only asubordinate olllcer himself and pre-ferred
¬
not to say anything. If ho shoulddecide to express himself , however , howould do so in writing and submit it tothe commXsion.-
Gcortru.
Pattison declared the commis-sion
¬adjourned ami then said :
"I want to thank the Union Paoifio-olllclals at Omaha for thyir uniform kind-ness
¬
and coilTlesy since the commissionhad been in session hero. 1 believe theyhave furnished the commission everyfacility in their power to aid them mtheir investigation. "
