Washington Railway case swears to stock facts

An affidavit from George H Harries and F William F Ham of the Washington Railway and Electric Company questions Mr Loeb’s stock ownership and motives. The sworn statement claims Loeb held 4700 shares, while later notes say 100 or 464 shares, with insinuations about wealth and control. The text discusses congressional reliance, potential conflicts, and calls for Loeb to step down from the board. It also references Senator Newlands and the district committee on street railroads, and mentions a proposed public service commission.
