Washington Railway stockholder affidavit sparks Senate debate

An affidavit by George H Harries and F William F Ham of the Washington Railway and Electric Company questions stock ownership claims by Mr Loeb. The document alleges Loeb held 4700 shares, later clarified to 100 or 464 shares, with insinuations about wealth and influence. The exchange touches on ethics, stockholding in public service, and calls for Loeb to step down or resign from boards. Senator Newlands and others discuss railroad stock ties and potential reform via an independent commission.
