JLL_ HILL WINS N. S. DECISION. CXN DISTRIBUTE STOCK. fottraining Order Obtained by Har rimar* in XcxD-Jcrsey Reversed. Pttilsvdt'lphtß, Jan. The United States Court »t Apr>«aia tcr th© Third Judicial DiPtrict. tn an Dplnion filed here to-day, reversed the decision Df the Xew-Jers«>- Circuit Court, whlcl* re aitimlned the Northern Securities Company from «Usrtnbutln« etock of the Northern Pacific Rail road Oompar.y. Tlie decision ia a defeat for the Interests represented by E. H. Harrlman. By the decree of th<- Now- Jersey court Northern Securities was restrained from disposing of 370. £3O shares of Northern Paciftr common alleged to have lx>*n received from E. H. Harriman and Winslow F. Pierce, and of 347.090 shares of Jiorthem Pacific common received by the Northern S**curitlt* Company from the Northern J'acinc Company. To-day's decision gives the Northern Securities Company the right to dis gK>se of the stock. Mepsr?. Harriman and Pierre, -when the North ern Securities Company had been declared by the United States Supreme Court to be an Illegal eomblr.aiion, demanded the return of the original anook they had contributed at the time of the merger. The Northern Securities Company, Jt ■was declaied. IlltWlflli to make a pro rata dia tribution of the stock of the contributing com pany. The opinion, written by Judge Dallas, •said at the outset: Harnnian averred that the chares of r&ilw&T wtock in <rj»*?ion «-w* acquired by the securities Cwniiiir - Ui«t It would hold them as custodian depository trustee, and that the owners or eaid ■ftiiaies were ihe parties who originally exchanged a_h«> s*rae for fcti-CA in tne >.>rth«=rn Secui:tlos Coro- Vhe Northern Securities Company claims that It M«iu;rA<i the *tack by purchase and mat it owns •the etock outright. The court, after deciding: that a p-rchase and fact a trust -was contemplated, and that th» irtsolutlon was a-Jcpted at a meeting at which JJarriman was present, continued: The Northern Securities Company Is the owner c? L537,6?4 ebares of the etock of the Northern Pa dflo Railway Comrany. which has be<;n restrained Jrom vourig'or receiving- dividends, and. in view oC th.s reßtraint. a-.l parties tKrc-e that it should not tinue. The Northern .- rltlea Company ac cordingly proposes to assign them pro rata to its «h«r*>hoiders. Including not less than twenty-five »undre<J persons whose chares are unquestionably ■«Lcq.ulred by purchase, and who are not parties to this suit, aad ti« such disposition of them would •ffect a ratable and, therefore, equitable, division upf them among all who are entitled to participate fif them among of the corporate assets, we of n a dlatrtbutton Ot the corporate assets, we are of T).* opinion that the injunction which prohibited it ■faoold do longer remain ln forr*. If the question before us had been Involved and Verified in the suit of the United States apt. the >Jorthem Securities Company, or if It ha<i been y>iie-t-»4 apnn. thouprh but Incidentally, by the Bu »reaie Court cf the United States, In disposing of Tne appeal in that case. we. of course, would not regard it as an open one. Hut it was neither 4» • «*.ced nor considered at any stage of that litiga •tion. The petition, or bill, cf the United States did pray 4hat the utockholder* of the railroad companies *-;.<" had exchanged their ptr.ck therein for etock of the Northorn Securities ompany should be re crulred to ■nrvasMler ary Fio^k of the North* d Securities Company no acquired and held by them, snd to a.cr»v>\ therefor the. railway stock In •Kchar.go for which the cam« Is Illlini" hut ti • decre*. in no far ns it was man<intory. went no lurther than to prohibit the doing of "the specific things which beinp done -would efTe<-t the result denounoed by the act." — (133 D. S. SM.) Thin was all lhat was requisite, and it waa fic <potnpllsbed by that pnrt of the decree whi^h ha» t>«ien already ouot.-d. on-1 the add«d clause, though epparently Fu«?resre<' by the prayer of the bill t/j •which '-' referred, was olrviotiely not Intended to 3iave any obligatory effect. It was permissive merely, and this po plainly appears from Its terms that It ( .s aaoeaaary <:.!y to direct attention to them. They are: "But nothing herein contained chall be construed c* prohibiting the Northern Securities Company from return'rjf and transferring to the stockholders cf the No n hern Pacific Railway Company and the Great Northern Railway Company respectively any and all fh-ores of stock in either of said railway companies which the Northern Securities Com] may have heretofore^ received from such stockhold er* in exchanpe for Its own stock: and nothing fcerc-ln oontaiar-d shall be construed as prohibiting the Northern Securities Company from making • F'Kh transfer and assignment of the stork aforc paM to sv.ch person or persons as may now be the Jioldrrs ai:d owners of its own stock originally Jsfiu<d in exchanpe or 1n payment for tbe stock elaim««J to have been aoqul! by it ln the aforesaid railway companies." Judge George .Iri:y, -of Delaware, filed a dls rentln^ decision, in v.hii h he said: I dissent from th*» Judgment of the majority of this court. 1 do not tfciixk the Jud?e below axer cised other than sound judgment in granting the injunction. Nothing but a. clear conviction that the bill was without equity would have j istifled the court bejow ln refunlng the injunction. As 1 am of the opinion that the injunction has given due con sideration to all tne parties to the suit h-'.ii a case eFiablished to entitle complainants to the protection *)f the injunction. 1 am in favor of affirming the mmmm. It 1b learned on the highest authority that ths tßarrlman Interests will r.ot accept as a final ■disposition of the N'oriiieni Securities case the ! decision of th© United States Circuit Court of •Appeal" la Philadelphia. The distribution pro rata of the Northern Paciflo and Great North ►*rn stock holdings of the Northern Securities jCarnpany could r,ot legally be hegrun until after the majidate of the United States Circuit Court |of Ar.pealß, dlssolvlag the Injunction, shall have ,ft»en tiled vlth tho Ur,:t. States Circuit Court from •which waa lesued tho order restraining' .h >."orLhern Securities Comi>any from making- such , •distribution. Before tho filing- of the mandate, a period of at least s<-veraJ days, application (Till be made to th.c United States Bupreme |c»urt by the attorneys for the Harrlman lnter 'mmiß for a writ of certiorarl. to review the de folfilon Just handed down by the Circuit Court of Appesus. If the Supreme Court grants the writ, the litigation will be protracted for a .considerable period; if It does not, th<=- lH—ntn ftion of the Injunction and the carrying: lnio «xt»outloa of the Northern Securities Oompaajr'a [plan of pro rata distribution will b« speedily t±ier«after accomplished. J. J. Hill wes Keen at his office soon after the jarw'B from Philadelphia reached this city. He i-ald he was pleased, but not surprised, at the ; <leclelon. There -Mouid be no haste, he said. In I distributing: the assets of the Northern f^eourtues Company. Mr. Hill was asked: » "Does this mean a settlement?" and an iswered: "Why, yes. the eooxt settles it." K. 1L Harriman. n-hi-n the bulletin announc iiiS the decision of the court w*ls shown him, ••Ud: "The matter now haa been before four Judges fc.r.d so far it 1b hi even division, two having declared for us and two against us." Mr. Harriman declined to say anything further regarding the case. Aft«r the r— Ulna; if ihe minutes of the pre vious adjourned meeting, the meeting of the Jforthern Becoritles Company, ■•;..■ b was to bave bate ba) yesterday at bokM ■was ad journed uctll next Monday. The only persur.s prtjHent were Colonel Clough, fourth vlce-presi <lent af tne company, and Nicholas Terhuxie, •aatetan t secretary.

Thrt wbole list on the Stock L;.\" change was aflt-cu-d In sympathy with Union J'atrinc. St. l'aul advanced from ]?_■ to 175%. closing 3V* points up from Saturday at 174 v». The reports were revived that a plan of settle jnent had l>een ayro^d upon by tbe contending jjartits in the Northern Securities Company, but these stories were declared by both eldea to be Utterly unfounded. After the decision of the United States Pu preme Court in Man*, declaring the Northern Securities Company to be an illegal combination, a circular was itaued by the management of th<- company, calling a (special ineotinff of th* stockholders on April 21 to vote upun a propo sition to reduce the capital Flock from ?'6i)r>, 400.000 to $3.U54,0G0 by pro rata diEtrlDuti-ii of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern shares fceld by the company. The Harrlman- Union I'tt cific Interests on April 3 filed a petition in the IL'nlted States Circuit Court In St. Paul, asking for leave to Intern In the case of the Unltr-.i -States ii^air.ft the Northern Securities Company. The petition «v deiil*! on April 19.

Shop-made, ready-made cake, tea biscuit, crullers, bread and substitutes therefor are dry, unsatisfying, extravagant and frequently unhealthful. In many bake shops alum powders are used to cheapen the product. With Royal Baking Powder, cake, waffles, tea-biscuit, pud dings, layer cakes, crullers, cookies, muffins, crusts, griddle cakes are made with greatest ease, in perfection, superior in every way to the ready-made foods, and a saving in money. The United States Agricultural Department reports the result of elaborate experiments under its direction, which show the great saving by baking at home, as compared with cost of . . buying ready baked food. All bread, cake, bis- JLM gy fk/&\! cuit, etc, a.re very | much fresher, clean- (▼I B !▼■ *# er, cheaper and more wholesome when | V( made at home with ROYAL BAKING ' ■ POWDER. read that the T.'nion Taclfic interests claimed that the Northern Pacific stock delivered by E. H. Harrlman and Wlnslow S. Pierce to the Northern Securities Company at the time of the formation of the latter corporation belonged to the Oregon Short LJne. and that th» Northern Securities Company was Bimply Its custodian and not its owner, and must surrender that stock upon the surrender d it of the Northern Securities stork aii.l the cash which It had de livered to the Oregon Short Line ..hen the oriplnnl transfer wa made. Formal notice was also given that a suit had tv?en begrun for the return of the Northern Pa cific BTock to the Oregon Bhort Line and that a restraining order, preventing: the carrying out of the propoi pro rata distribution, had been granted by Judge atrlck. of the United States circuit Court in New-Jersey. Judpe Kirkpatrlck died a few days later, and the argu ment on the rule to show rauso granted by him. was heard by Judge Bradford, who In August rranted the in^ unrt^n which has now been dissolved by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Third Judicial District.
