No Errors Found In Charges Against Hanks Harriman
Washington reports the interstate commerce commission found Hanks and Harriman failed to prove grave errors in its statistical work or that freight and passenger rates could be cut by 10 percent without harming wages or dividends. The inquiry reviewed their investigation, salaries, and time with the commission, and affirmed all charges unproven. A Roosevelt letter dated Jan 31 dismisses the allegations. Also noted: a Santo Domingo United States treaty signed in Caracas and the death of Rev Seymour A Baker in Kansas City from pneumonia.
