WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. President
t". C Brown, of the New Tork Cen
tral lines, was on the witness stand
throughout the dar In the Investiga
tion by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Into the proposed advance In
freight rates In the Kastern trunk line
territory. With the conclusion of Pres
ident Brown's testimony the case of the
railroads was practically completed, al
though J. C. Stewart, vice-president of
the Krle, is to be heard.
Under the law. It is Incumbent upon
railroads to make a prima facie case
of the reasonableness of any proposed
reneral advance In rates considered by
the commission.
Kallway Officials Confident.
Through the testimony of President
Mrrrw, of the Pennsylvania; President
tvillard. of the Baltimore A Ohio, and
President Brown, of the New Tork Cen
tral, coupled with the exhibit of sta
tistics and statements of operating of
ficials heretofore submitted, the rail

nancial operations of the lines under
his direction. He was cross-examined

the investments in the properties
return that would enable them to meet
the extraordinary expenditures on their
property.
Roads Shouia Be Best.
The presidents of the three great
railway systems maintain that It Is
not only the ambition of the railway
orrlclaJa, but the desire of the travel
Ing and shipping publlo that "the rail
roads of the I'nited States should con
tinue to be the best In the world.'
In order to maintain this prestige for
Americ a, it Is the opinion of llr. Brown
that the freight Income of the roads
should be rnater than It la now.
In discuseanc the capitalisation of the
New York Central. President Brown
said:
The Iew Tork Central stock, every
dollar of it. has been paid for at tlOO a
sliare. except such as was paid for at
tie rate of S125 to flit a share, and the
New York "ntral cannot be reproduced
today for SX per cent on Its total stock
and bonds. I say that under oath."

tween Wall street and Tammany Hall.
If the Democrats should win the elec
tion." he said. "Tammany Hall and Wall
street would dominate to the detriment
of the people."
Opposed to that, he pictured the Re
publican parte! as the true report of
popular rule. He discussed no concrete
issues, but clang to the statement that
the issue was Tammany Hall and Wall
street against the people.
If my career, if my life, means any
thing, he said at Jamestown. "It means
that I never say on the stump anything
I do not say in private, that I never say
anything I don't believe, and that I don't
make a promise unless I try to keep It.
So I ask you to try my words at their
face value .when I speak to you."
Then he declared w all street was a
unit for the men nominated at Rochester.
'because they know they cannot handle
the men nominated at Saratoga."
At ellsvllle. Colonel Roosevelt said
when he was abroad he heard one name
connected with everything that was base
In this country, and that was Tammany
HalL Next to the name of Tammany, he
said, they associated Wall street with
