Washington and lor Patrick M Mul

hut Turner is wanted for a witness
because Frost testified to being guid

Turner as to the method of acquir

Judge Landis action followed the
readinc today of a letter by the gov

Ti tner had been instrumental in pre
venting certain eidence from com
ing before the federal judge in Seat

the alleged land frauds
The letter, which was written to
Mr Frost by H S. Osier, member of
the firm of McCarthy, Osier, Harkin
and McCourt. attorneys In Toronto
was date January 9, 1911 and read:
Dear Frost I have just had a
conversation with Osborn, who has
teen Roland and as the matter is one
in which a letter ought not he pro
duced, he suggests thai it 's better
thai I should write ou. so that the
letter might be privileged
"Boland is informed from Turners

the charges against yourself, Watson
and Laberee are likely to )u brought
betore the grand jury at Seattle in
an earlv date The banks are en
much worked up over this, as a fight
of this kind might block their plans.
Turner suggested that the evidence
of F. H. Stewart will be necessarj in
order that a bill mav be filed by a
grand jur and that he had better
koep him on this side of the line if
possible.
"Boland suggested that if you know
Stewarts address you should prob

as yon think wise under the circum
stances. "We suppose here that having re
garded to Turner's former negotia
tions wjth you upon this subject on
behalf of Laberee. he had probably
comiounication with you direct, and
In cane he has not done so there ma',
be some foundation for the report "
According to the government Mul

Washington, April 2. The in esti

the Interstate Commerce commission,
into the prac tice of Colorado railroads
of giving free transportation has
brought sensational results,
Criminal indictment of large ship- i
I pern and the otlending carriers have'

Commissioner Harlan personally j
'conducted an investigation and in h's
own characterization of the situation!
I he 'developed violations of the law
on an extraordinarily large scale."
Mr Harlan sas in his preliminary
report handed down today, that 'In
one month over a single railroad Toon
I trips were nnde on passes. Not only,
I shippers who controlled routing of,
tratflc in any appreciable quantity

even demanded, those favors of the

A6ked for Passes
' Tho record shows that judges.
state officials, members of the legis
llature, city and county officials, in
I eluding mayors and alderman, have
made general use of passes. Not
only has this been the case, but the
records show that where passes were !
not volunteered they were asked for
by public officials
"Even judges have not hesitated to
pursue this co.irse Personal re
i quests by judges upon carriers lor
passes are disclosed by the record,
accompanied by expressions of their
snse of obligation for such favors
granted to them both before and af
Ur they went on the bench.
All classes joined In the orgy of i
petty graft, at once sacrificing, right-,
ful revenues of the carriers, discrim
inating against all small shippers and
demoralizing al' public officials, in
cluding the legislature and the
bench."
Commissioner Harlan says that the !
Colorado carriers have given assur- j
..ice that the will conform their fu
ture practices to the rulings of the
commission in pass matters. The re
port does not disclose what further
steps may be taken of other viola-
