veid and Bonaparte and Do What

the Public.
CHICAGO, Sept. 21. (Special)
mnmised iiuniunity for the Chicago
& Alton road in the Standard Oil re
rseca- case may again fail to become a
reality w hen the grand jury meets on
Tuesday at the call of Judge Kenesnw
Mountain Landis. The case was last
called on September 3 and was post-
Pfwted until at the request of United
H:HI. District Attorney Sims, on the
Tjufea that he and liis associates had
Bot had ample time to conduct an in- i
wwtigation. Since that time Attor
ney Sims has been very busy and j
■•• any communications, written and
vr.rKJ are known to have passed be- j
i'weeu him and the department of
jgtttictr. What was thought to be a
simple process of applying the white- :
wash brush and wiping out the score
against the Alton has now become a |
mm\ complicated matter, it is evi
tiaut that Judge Landis and Attorney
HSucrc- Ate loath to close the case by
immunity method, and there are |
manors of open warfare between them
xjtd the department of justice.
Judge Not to lie Bulldozed.
ft is believed in some quarters that \
Landis and Sims intend to drag into
fcifcc tight every detail of the deal be- j
the administration’s legal de- i
nwrtment and the railroad. Taking ;
• aricautage of the Knox immunity stat- ;
neto* passed by the last session of con
tgntss, so as to make further pleas of i
fteiuiinity by corporations of no avail,
Jtsttdge Landis,, it is believed, intends
iprosecuting not only the Alton, but
kite Burlington and the Chicago &
hSstsfern Illinois as well. These roads
; gave concessions to the oil trust
;*ifd then confessed to the grand jury,
sloping thus to receive absolution.
( Judge Landis permits the grand
jjßßty 0* indict the Alton or any of
tts officials, it will force the road to
stem its hand and lay bare all the
anerets of its arrangement with the
ateparciuent of justice. As a bar to
iprwsi'uunuty. the Alton will have to
pfesad the promise ot immunity alleg
ed to have ben given by Attorney Gon
anty Moody, acting upon the adiice
.mri* e wisent of the president. The
jpttr-us wii have to he argued before
jtodge Landis in open court, and many
of the deal now hidden or
twuy win be made clear. There are
mnon that Judge Landis intends
ta» prosecute a certain Alton official
Mar perjury. President Roosevelt may
to bring the weight of his in-
Hueace to bear to save the indicted
in accordance with the promise
,a#i« i.o have been made by him
trough Mr. Morrison, then district
tUorney, who acted only after lie had
• .-wived the aproval of Justice
then attorney general.
Immunity Need Nat Si a ml.
it is feared in railroad circles that
Judge Landis intends to evade the
of immunity and that othe r
voads as well as Die Alton, will be
lasloects of investigation. That the
militant jurist, assisted by a deter
*i\wd district attorney, can have the
wi' toads prosecuted, even against the
ir'.-L anu influence of the department
at justice and the administration, is
aimitted by prominent attorneys fam
’Uar with the legal aspects of the
sal-*- Attorney G eneral Bonaparte
and probably will, refuse to pro
wwise but that will not serve to
\j»vwut Judge Landis appointing an
ttwuaey to push ary indictments re
turned by the grind jury.
'There are no checks on the action of
ifee grand jury, which has nothing to
d. with promises of immunity, even
"it made by the president of the United
Jtn* It is pointed out that the
m->t successful prosecution of a trust
ns California was carried out in spite
the protest and opposition of the
district attorney and the Washington
Algal department.
mui> Slulids With Landis.
Sven if District Attorney Sims
afeould become afflicted with "cold
flfcat” at the thought ot opposing the
Upwers that be, he could be fined
*s3w contempt of court by Judge Lan-
Iflß. Such a contingency is apparently
-rte. Re. Sims is openly allied with
.Jbdge Landis, and it forbidden by the
.Apartment of justice to proceed in
fafce matter, his friends say he would
inrsAga and take charge of the case
.jr.-ier the direction of Landis.
The grand jury will assemble at
;C§ o'clock Tuesday morning, when
A is expected that District Attorney
THE AMERICUS DAIEY TIMES-RECORDER, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1907
j Sims will finally announce his atti
| tilde in the matter of prosecuting the |
j Alton. Whether this will be for or *
| against immunity is not known, but
in any event it will likely mark the
I beginning, rather than the end, of the
prosecution of the Alton.

Expert Accountant is Engaged By Rail
road Commission to Look Into
financial and Physical His
tory ot Road.
ATLANTA, Sept. 21. (Special)
I The Georgia railroad commission has
engaged J. A. Mathews of Atlanta,
one of the best known expert ac
countants in the country, to prepare
precise and succinct statements con
cerning the Central railroad, com
bining its financial and physical his-
I lory, such compilation to be used on
; Oct. 7in the hearing in tho Federal
court on the passenger reduction
, case.
For many years Mr. Mathews was
connected with the Central road and
! is peculiarly well qualified to under
j take the work outlined for him by
: the commission.
He will not act in the capacity of a
rate expert, but under that section of
the Candler bill which says: “The
railroad commission has full auth
ority to ascertain the cost of con
struction and the present value of
properties in Georgia owned by cor
porations or companies, and to that
end may employ necessary experts."
Mr. Mathews will be clothed with
authority through the commission to
secure all desired data from the com
panies, and if necessary, he can go in
to the main office to secure any in
formtion wanted.

j the 'railroad commission are dispos

j probably speak before a meeting of
the Farmers' Union in Flovd Conn
j ty on next Thursday, September 26,
i where he has been invited. The at-
I titude of the Farmers’ Union in cer

I Governor’s recent interview in which
he predicted a 2,000,000 bale cotton j
j crop for Georgia, “if it is not damag
ed by the recent hot winds.” has :
i paused some concern among the j
friends of the Governor and it is ex
pected he will take this opportunity
of explaining his views concerning j
the "hot winds” prevailing during the j
past week or two, and so disastrous j
| to the cotton crop.
