Northern Securities Company
Loses Its Case.
UNANIMOUS DECISION HANDED DOWN
Heiinlt Regarded an I. v > 1 Trlninpli
For Attorney General Knox? An
Appeal to United State*
Supreme Court.
ST. PAUL, Minn., April 10.? The po
sition of the United States government
In the suit brought against the North
ern Securities company, the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railways
and individual officials and directors of
those companies was sustained in the
decision just handed down in the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals in
this city.
The case was originally brought In
the tlnited States district court here,
ibut under a special act of congress was
taken at once to the court of appeals,
?which court was to expedite the hear
ing and decision of the case in every
manner possible. The taking of testi
ATTORNEY GENERAL. KNOX,
raony in this city and in New York
for several weeks, and the argu
Kts in St Louis before Circuit
Caldwell, Sanborn, Thayer and
Devanter took several days. The
decision of the court was written by
Judge Thayer and was filed in thia
-city, where the original action was in
stituted. An appeal to the United
>
States supreme court will be taken im
mediately. All four judges concurred
in the conclusion of the court.
The Northern Securities company is
declared to be a combination in re
straint of trade and commerce be
tween states. It is enjoined from at
tempting to acquire further stock of
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern Railroad companies, from voting
at any meeting of the stockholders of
either of the companies, from paying
any dividends to itself on account of
stock in the two roads and from ex
ercising any control whatever over the
corporate acts of the two companies.
The Northern Securities company is
permitted to return to stockholders in
either of the two roads such stock as
it has received in exchange for its own
frtock.
Judge George P. Young, one of the
counsel for the Northern Securities
company, after the announcement of
the decision said:
"I have no comments to make with
reference to the court's decision. Of
course the case will be carried to the
United States supreme court."
Attorney General Douglas was de
limited beyond expression.
?I have always declared that the
court would rule in this way and have
felt confident that the government
would win. It is a great victory."
M. D. Hunn, one of the special at
torneys assisting Attorney General
Douglas in the suit against the North
ern Securities company, said:
"It will do what was desired? leave
them nothing to do but to wind up the
Northern Securities company. It was
suggested that the business might be
trusteed, but I don't see how that can
be done under the language of the de
cision. Of course they can appeal to
the United States supreme court, and
of course they will, and it is the only
thing they can do."
Lec'i Sentence Disapproved.
MANILA, April 10.? Major GeneraJ
Davis has disapproved the findings of
the court martial at Illgan, island of
Mindanao, in the case of Lieutenant
Joel R. Lee of the Tenth United States
Infantry, holding that the accused man,
who was charged with manslaughter
in connection with the killing of two
native prisoners of war, was not en
titled to an honorable acquittal.

WOODBRIDGE.(
The third lecture of the oonrse at
the W. A. A. hall took place last
night. Rev. M. W. Womer, pastor of
the Methodist church, was the speak
er. The subject was "The Paying of
Debts," always timely and appro
priate ; for debts, like the poor, are
always with ns. The lecture was re
plete with good things.
The speaker related some facts in
connection with the labor question
that are not generally known. The
debt one owed to himself, to his
family, and to the state and society
was plainly described. Mr. Womer
mast have been in correspondence
with President Roosevelt, for their
ideas about the question of race^snioide
asrree to the letter. The lecturer's
ideas about the manly art of self de
fense ware commendable but rather
startling. The prevailing idea of the
leoture was that one ought to pay the
debt he owes sooiety by always giving
the best that lies within him.
The next lecture, given by Father
Griffin, will take place on the 24th of
April. His subject will be "Charac
teristics of the Age."

sembly Urged to Kill It.
HARRISBURG, Pa., April 10.? The
senate has finally passed the new libel
taw Introduced on Tuesday by Senator
Grady. Th* bill requires that all news
papers published in Pennsylvania shall
print in every issue on the editorial
page the names of the owner or own
ers, publisher and managing editor
and if owned by a corporation the
names of the officers thereof. In all
civil actions which may hereafter be
brought against a newspaper if it shall
be shown that the publication com
plained of resulted from negligence on
the part of such owner, ypoprietor,
manager or , editor In the ascertain
ment of the facts or in the publication
thereof compensatory damages may be
recovered dor injuries to business and
r?CUt&tlon?esultipg from such cubllca
tlon as well as damages for the phys
ical and mental suffering endured by
the injured party or parties.
Failure to carry out the provision re
quiring the publication of the names
of those responsible for its publication
is punishable by a fine of not less than
$500 nor more than $1,000.
An amendment provides, "Whenever
in any civil action it shall be shown
that the matter complained of is libel !
ous and that such libelous matter luis j
been given special prominence by the
use of pictures, cartoons, headlines,
displayed type or any other matter cal
culated to especially attract attention,
the jury shall have the right to award
punitive damages againat the defend
ant or defendants."
The bill passed the senate by a vote
of 30 to 10.
A similar measure is being hurried
through the house. It passed a second,
fading jeuterday daaoite a strong^
fight made against it. Assemblyman
Cooper of Delaware county, who is an
editor, denounced the bill as an effort
to muzzle the press of Pennsylvania
and moved its indefinite postponement.
Hig motion was lost? yeas, 65; nays,
106.
The newspapers of the state are
bringing great pressure to ' nir on the
members of the legi"' >? aot to vote
for the bill.
