New York, Feb. 2*.—In the Harri-

bunds under which a branch of 3<
miles of the t'hlcago and Alton waa to
be constructed had been sold and no
funds remained to construct the line
when the Rock Island Interests took
charge of the management.
According to the hooks of the Chi

No Money for Work.
Late yesterday afternoon the lawyers
for the government renewed their at
|tack upon the financial methods of the
Harrlman group In the t'htcngo nnjl Al
ton railroad, when they called Charles
\V. Hilliard, comptroller of the road, as
a witness.
Hilliard testified that he became
comptroller In October last. when, un
der the Joint arrangement for the
management or the property, the Rock
Island took Its turn.
Mr. Hilliard suld his first task was
to find money to carry on the Improve
ment under way. There was money
enough In (he treasury for current ex
pense*. but not enough to carry on Im-
| provements. which Includes a cut off of
4 1-2 miles of the road near Murray-
villa to Rprlngfleld. There was not
enough money to complete the building
of tills line, said the winters.
J “I looked Into the question of raising
money by mortgage." he continued,
"and I discovered thAt It had already
been mortgaged.*'
Second Mortgage Needed.
"Do I understand that this road had
been mortgaged before It waa built?"
asked Mr. Commissioner Lane.
"Ye*. I waa told that It was covered
by the mortgage of 1900. and there was!
nothing ttyat could he done except put
a second mortgage on It. which would
have been n p«x»r security.'* said Hil
liard. All the bonds were gone. I
found from the books that the 918,000.- |
ooo hail never been paid for the bonds,
that the 910.000.000 had never been j
paid to Stanton tor the stock: that the,
93.000.000 had never been paid to Btan- |
ton for the road, hut that the 822.000.- '
000 In bonds had been turned over $o|
the syndicate w ho delivered the stock |
and the road through the Intermediary,'
Mr. Htanton."
