THURSDAY EVENINO, DP TO MERGER TO MOVE FIRST STATE WON'T HAVE TO NEW CASE. However, If State Suspects That Prac tical Consolidation Will Still Exist, a Move May Be Made Which Would Give Harriman What Wants. Attorney General Donahower says no action is to be taken by the state at present in the Northern Securities case. When the mandate of the su preme court comes down, the case will be sent back to the district court of Ramsey county. When it is returned to that court, the defendants will have the usual thirty days in which to file their answer. There is nothing for the state to do until that answer is filed. The action of the state depends largely on the character of the de fendants' answer. They may deny the jurisdiction of the state courts over the Northern Securities company, and make argument on that point. Or they may answer that following the decision in the government case, the merger has ceased to be a fact, and the things complained of in the sta,te's petition are no longer true. Harriman Might Profit. The state's petition, like that of the government, asks for a great deal more than was granted in the circuit court's decree. If it appears to coun sel for the state that the new distri bution of stock perpetuates the com munity of ownership, as Mr. Harri maintains, they might follow up that line, and ask an order for the re turn of the stock to its original hold ers. There has been no consultation be tween the new attorney general and Messrs. M. D. Munn and George P. Wilson, who have been associated in the conduct of the state's case, and there is no occasion now for such a conference. 'Dr. DeimeFs Linen Mesh Underwear" AgentHoffman's Toggery Shop.

Boardman misrepresented him to the court yes terday in moving nolles in the cases against Henry F. Brown and George F. Moulton. Mr. Powers says em phatically that he never talked to the county attorney in regard to the Moul ton case and never told him that he had been mistaken in giving his testi mony before the grand jury or that any injustice had been done to the ac cused. Mr. Boardman, on the other hand, insists that there was no misrepresen tation on his part, that Mr. Powers did talk to him several times concerning both the Brown and the Moulton cases, that Mr. Powers did say he had been mistaken and an injustice had been done. The county attorney says that he stands ready to prove his as sertions.

Statement of the Weil-Known Attor ney Is a Surprise Opponents of Congressman Fletcher Must' Seek a New Man to Support at the Primaries. Frank M. Nye will not be a candi date for congress. The well-known attorney, who been considered a sure entry in the race for the republican nomination, made a statement to-day, definitely declaring himself out of it. Mr. Nye's withdrawal will doubtless start a movement on the part of those republicans not satisfied with former Congressman Fletcher as a candidate, to bring out some one else who can make a successful run. In his statement Mr. Nye says. I have hoped until very recently there might be a successful effort made to find a candidate upon whom the republicans could cordially unite and who could be elected without the burden and expense of two heated campaigns. With this in view I have allowed my name to be con sidered. This district is republican and should be represented by a republican, but unless reasonable harmony can be se cured and a bitter contest at the primaries avoided the election of the nominee, who ever he may be, will be endangered. Such evidences of harmony do not now appear as warrant me in entering the race. I cannot afford to give up business and spend months of time and the little means I have under existing conditions. Mr. Nye adds that the nominee should go on the ticket without a contest in the party, and concludes by saying: It is due to the many republicans who are honestly seeking an acceptable candi date to make this announcement in time for them to take such action as they deem best, and I therefore take this opportunity to state that I am not a candidate for congress I hope the party will be able to yet unite upon some good man whoHarriman is willing to look to the party's welfare as well as his own.

"Years ago we held political meetings in the room back of his drug store in the third ward, and he was always a good man at planning campaigns and carrying them out. He has not announced hiself, but the third ward delegation plans to get him into the race, if we have to pull him in by the coat tails.

Several days are likely to elapse be fore the circuit court will hand down an opinion on the petition of inter vention which Messrs. Harriman and Pierce are seeking to file in the fed eral suit against the Northern Securi ties company. When counsel closed argument in case late yesterday afternoon and court was adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, an impression prevailed that the opinion would be handed down to-day. The judges, however, after a brief consultation, informed counsel that no decision need be ex pected for some time, and the eastern lawyers all left for New York last evening. Judge A. M. Thayer has been called away from St. Paul by illness in his family at St. Louis, and it is not con sidered likely that an opinion will be rendered until he can return. KNOX SECURES DECREE Attorney General Anxious to Judgment to St. Paul. From The Journal Bureau, Colorado ing, Washington. Washington, April 14.To-day the thiny days were up which the su prene court requires before issuing its decrees and Attorney General Knox, ever watchful, had a messenger at the capitol bright and early to get a copy of the decree of the court the merger case. Mr. Knox came to his office earlier than usual in order to receive the de cree and it is understood his desire is to get it into the hands of the federal court of Minnesota at the earliest pos sible moment, so that the court may have official knowledge of its existence during the pendency of the Harriman suit. Mr. Knox is not assuming that the suit may end to-day or to morrow. He wants to take no chances of that sort. It is believed here that Mr. Knox wired District At torney Haupt that the decree would be forwarded to St. Paul at once. W. W. Jermane. That Thomas Mosswitz and Ludwig Harzey, charged with beating Andrew Janowitz so severely that he died from his injuries, did more than was necessary to prevent the man from injuring his wife, is shown by the post-mortem held at the county morgue to-day. The physicians found that every rib In Janowitz's body had been, broken and that pieces of frac tured bones had penetrated the lungs and the liver. Coroner U. G.

FLOUR MILLS TO RESUME Expected to Begin Grinding Next Monday at Half Capacity. The Minneapolis flour mills, new closed, will probably resume grinding at half ca pacity on Monday.

Recent strength in wheat has stimulated the flour demand from local and nearby points, and it is to meet this that the mills will resume in part. NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.

Defective Pa9 FINAL DEBATE TO-MORROW NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP WILL THEN E DECIDED. St. Paul ICentral and Fergus Falls Teams Will Discuss Municipal Own ership of Public Utilities Gold Medal Composition Will Also Read and High School Enthusiasm Will Run High. Teams representing St. Paul Cen tral and Fergus Falls will close the third season of the High School De bating league of the state at the Uni versity chapel to-morrow night. The question for the debate will be "Re- solved, That American Cities and Vil lages Should Own and Operate Their Public Utilities." Fergus Falls will have the affirmative and St. Paul Cen tral the negative. The Fergus Falls team will be composed -of Bert Boen, Caleb C. Hogan and Harry Jackson. St. Paul Central will be represented by Paul Gauger, Henry Horwitz and Mil ton Firestone. Two judges have been selected in Willis I. Norton, a member of the law school and graduate of the university and H. V. Mercer, a prominent Minneapolis attorney. Professor E. E. McDermott, president of the league, has been asked to name the third judge on the night of the contest, It having been stipulated that he shall be a Wisconsin man. Fergus Falls was the winner in the finals of last year for the pos session of The Journal trophy. Strangely enough, that team was pitted against the team of the St. Paul Central at that time. St. Paul will try to humble its one-time conquer ers to-morrow night and a spirited de bate is anticipated. So great is the interest in the debate that a large crowd is expected. St. Paul has ar ranged to send several hundred repre sentatives to cheer its debaters and Frgus Falls is expepted to bring down a few less than a train load to help along its representatives. The first year Le Sueur won the massive silver cup, valued at $150, offered by The Journal. Last year it was captured by Fergus Falls. Fermanent possession of the cup is only to be gained by winning it three successive years. If Fergus Falls wins Friday evening it will give them a show to gain permanent possession of the trophy and St. Paul Central will endeavor to put a "block in their wheel." The rival teams for the final con test would appear to be evenly matched. Each has debated on both sides of the question and is familiar with all of the arguments which can be produced. St. Paul Central has met and defeated St. Paul Cleveland school, Blooming Prairie and Minne apolis South high. Fergus Falls has conquered the East Grand Forks, Barnesville, Long Prairie and Benson teams. Rivalry between the teams is keen but friendly and the result of the meeting* of the "giants of the league" is a matter of much conjec ture thruout the schools of the state. The program to-morrow evening will open with the reading of the Journal gold medal composition. This medal competition was for seniors in Minnesota high schools which are in the debating league. Competitors prepared on the general topic, "The Lake Poets," but did not know which particular phase they were to write on until the hour for writing. The essays which were then prepared on the topic assigned were necessarily original and the re sults showed excellent work. Judge O. B. Lewis of St. Paul will present all the medals for The Journal. THINKS BLEACHING USELESS Professor" Snyder Says It Does Not Im prove Quality of Flour. Bleaching of flour is Just now the ques tion of interest in milling circles.

He says: "When the best patent winter and spring wheat flours were subjected to bleaching with oxygen, there was no improvement In either the quality or the character of the bread.

Results Show That Water From Cen ter of Stream I More Nearly Free From Contamination Suspicious Colon Bacilli Found In All of the Fifteen Samples Taken. Bacteriological tests of fifteen sam ples of water taken from the river on the same day will give the water spe cialists something to ponder over. In general they show that water taken from the center of the stream or in the main current is not so bad as water from the shore, but this rule is not infallible. In the main, however, the safest place to take water from a stream appears to be away from shore. Health Commisioner P. M. Hall and Dr. J. Prank Corbett, who took the samples, and Dr. Elizabeth Wood worth, who assisted Dr. Corbett in making the tests, have drawn no con clusions and merely submit'the facte. Eleven samplese were taken at va rious points in the river from the Northeast station to the boom com pany's sorting gap two miles above. Only one sample was very near shore. At the same time, Inspector W. D. Mc Call took samples from the well and forebay at the Northeast station, from the well at the North station and from the reservoir. The bacterial count varied some what in the water taken from the strong current, but at the same time ran evenly between 200 and 250 colo nies a cubic centimeter. In one sam ple the count ran up to 440 colonies. This was the only sample taken close to the shore and conditions at that point seemed to favor bad water. "Water in the forebay and the well at the northeast station showed fewer colonies than water taken from the stream, and this may be due to a slight sedimentation in both places. Six Day's Tests. The results of six days' tests shows that the average number of colonies in water at the Northeast station was 182, at the North station 160 and at the reservoir 110 and it would seem to be a fact that the North station gets better water from the middle of the stream than the Northeast station gets from the shore. Colon Bacilli There. Colon bacilli were found in all the fifteen samples. The bacteriologists have been unable to isolate any ty phoid germs, but the presence of any number of colon bacilli makes the water suspicious. STATE'S DUTY TO CHILD Judge Tuthlll of Chicago Speaks on This Subject Monday. Judge Tuthill of Chicago will address the Minnesota Congregational club Mon day evening at the First Congregational church on the duty of the state to de pendent and delinquent children. Judge Tuthill has been presiding officer of the Chicago court of juvenile correc tion for several years, and has made a study of the dependent and delinquent boy. He Is one of the trustees of the St. Charles rural home and school for boys, an institution recently established near Chicago to care for and educate boys brought before his court for minor of-r fenses. Co-operating with him in the de velopment of this idea and acting as su perintendent is N. W. McLain, at one time director of the Minnesota agricultural experiment station at St. Anthony park.

They were both so angered at this that they refused to speak, forbear ing even to curse but glared at each other like caged animals. i Basement Salesroom elsewhere at $12.5 0 and $15.00 $7.50 -In Great Basement Salesroom. -In Great Basement Salesroom. GREAT TRAFFIC POOL PREDICTED lrRECTO OF A NORTHWEST- ERN LINE READS THE OMENS. Says Future Pool Will Legal Roads Will Become So Interdepend ent That Respect for One Another's Interests Will Be a NecessityLaws Will Improved. Special to The Journal. New York, April 14.A director of one of the northwestern lines not im mediately concerned in the matter be fore the court at St. Paul makes the following comment on the events of the month in the northwest: "In any case the supreme court de cision has led to a pretty muddle. It looked at one moment as tho it had set the world back three or four years and undone at one word the work that has made an old man out of J. J. Hill and a physical wreck out of E. H. Harriman. "You ask me what is to be the ul timate result it is going to be that Hill and Harriman and every other big system in the west and northwest will be in a gigantic traffic pool that's all. Legalwell why not? If people who own railroads want to ab stain from interfering with other peo ple who own railroads why should they not do it? Of course it won't be perpetual. A gentlemen's agree ment is only good as long as all the gentlemen stay honest. But there will be inducements to stay honest. All the important interests in the north west are now represented on more than one railroad board. In time that movement will go farther. They will be so inextricably Interrelated that what injures one will injure all and what helps one will help all. They will conspire together to do business. There will be a community of devel opment in the northwest and the mid dle-west. Great Northern will build towns in the north country, Union Pa cific in the center, etc. "In the course of time, an enlight ened congress will devise laws to rule the railroads. They won't be designed to meet the needs fifteen years ago, when the Sherman law was made but they will be designed to give the people protection from ini quitous methods and manners and to give the railroads protection from ini quitous restrictionsthat is, restric tions that at the same time restrict the country. That is going to be the lesson of this su't and its outcome. "Canadian Pacific will never own Great Northern or any other trunk line from the twin cities to Seattle. If it did, the flag of the United States would be as scarce in the harbors of Japan and China ten years from now as it is to-day. The future of the Harriman system is the trade of the orient. Great Northern in the hands of Canadian Pacific, could kill all transcontinental trade on all Ameri can lines so far as expert and import business goes."
