Washington, July 15.—The unani mous expression of the Interstate com merce commission has been made pub lic In a report on the operations of Ed ward H. Harriman In monopolizing Vnd dominating absolute control and Influ ence over trans-continental and Inter state roads of the West and North west. l His Influence and control over many competing roads In that section were only prevented by the Sherman anti trust law. As he himself testified be fore the commission, hts operations would be going on today and his Influ ence given a much wider scope but for the operation of this law and the decisive gnove of the commission. Started With Union Pacific. Tho report was compiled by Com missioner Lane. Particular stress Is laid upon the manner of Mr. Harriman In securing control of the Sah Pedro road and his manipulation of the Chi cago and Alton. His operations start ed with the reorganization of the Union Paclflc and a steamer line from Port land to Japan. With theee and other Northwestern properties, the Union Pacific's control has spread In the past six years with such power and influence that It now controls every line reaching the Paclflc slope from the Canadian border on the north to tho Mexican border on the south. The acquisition of control came either directly or Indirectly through the pur chose of stock. Immediately after i road was purchased or Its control se cured comnlete unification was brought about. Thus the complete elimination of competition was secured. Before Hnrrlmnn's control the Union and Southern Pacifies were competing for Western and Pacific coast business. For ail this traffic and Immense volume of business there Is no competition the present time. .Many of the lines to the Paclflc slope were built under and through Federal patronage and many acres of valuable lands were given to oesure the compe tltlon of the roads. The report covers In detail the acquisition and control of the various properties now In the net work of lines and llnlshes with the fa- mous Alton deal. The Alton Deal, r to 1898,” says the report, “the AltorF road had been for many years under the control of Mr. T. B. Black stone, as president, and had paid an average dividend ex<?edlng 8 per cent per annum, and fn addition, had ex pended large sums out of earnings the Improvement of Its property. “As appeared by Its books on Decern her 31, 1898: The cost of Its road and equipment was 134,153,037. "It had other assets amounting 15,781,960. "Making the total valuo of Its prop, erty 339,935.887. "Its total stock outstanding was $22, 230,600. "Its total funded debt $10,779,850. "Itw other liabilities were $940,957. "Total $33,951,407. "About this tlmo Mr. Edward II. Harriman, Mr. Mortimer L. Schllf, Mr. George J. Gould and James Stillman formed a syndicate to buy tills stock, and bought It for $200 a share for the preferred and $175 a share for the com. mon, making the total coat of the shares purchased $39,042,200. Indebtedness Expanded. 'In about seven years, to June 30, 1906, the outstanding Indebtedness of this company was expanded from $33, 951,407 to $114,610,937, or an Increase of about 380,660,000, and there was ox pended In actual Improvements and ad dlttona to the property out of this capl talizatlon only about $18,000,000, leav. Ing an increase of lie stock and llablll. ties, without one dollar of consideration, of about $62,660,000, or $66,190 per mile on the 948.66 miles of road owned by the company on June 80, 1906. “It Is contrary to public policy, _ well as unlawful, for railways to ac quire control of parallel and competing lines. This policy Is expressed In the Federal laws and In the constitutions and laws of nearly every state In the Union. Competition between railways, as well as between other Industries, Is the established policy of the nation. So long as It Is the policy of the general government nnd of the states to main tain competition between naturally competing lines, the ownership of any stock by one railway In a com railway should not bo permitted such lines of railway should be prohib ited from having any common directors or officers. ARMY MEN ARRIVE FROM LONG MARCH The party of orfhy officer* who have been going over the route followed by Sherman In hlf famou* march to the sea arrived In Atlanta Sunday, completing their two weeks In the saddle with visits to tbo blit tie fields near the cltv. They left later for Fort Leavenworth, Kans. The trip has proved a great success.

July 15.—Six unidentified negroes were killed and twenty persons were Injured as a result of the wreck of the eastbound vestibule train, No. 4$, on the Southern, which occurred opposite the National Soldiers' Home reservation, one mile south of the city limits, at 7:80 o'clock last night.

A number of the friends of tho American assembled In front of the restaurant at 11 o'clock, and bom barded It with bricks, demolishing the windows.
