General Counsel M. D. Grover, of the Great Northern, yesterday in an inter view, gave some interesting comments on the decision recently submitted by the" United States supreme court in the cass of Wisconsin. Minnesota & Pacific' Rail road vs. J. F. Jacobson, wherein the Min nesota supreme court was sustained. The - case, which is an old one in this state, involved the validity of the Minnesota law requiring intersecting railroad lines crossing each other at grades, to make' a "V" connecting the two. Mr. Grover's statements, are made after a thorough study and knowledge of the case in hand, J he having been one of the counsel In the j litigation. I Mr. '..rover's remarks are as follows: ] "The statute In question in this case re- i quires railway companies, where their j lines cross at grades, and where the con- I struction of the connecting 'V' tracks is j reasonably necessary, to construct such ] track, thus giving an opportunity of mov- j ing cars from the track of one com pany to the track of another. "The law further provides that one j company with which such track connec- j tion is made, must build and route its I cars by making use of the 'V' to point-- j on the track of the connecting road, and ■ that it must, if so required by the ship per, deliver Its cars over this 'V' "to : the connecting road or pay the cost of j transferring the freight from its cars to j the ears of another road without loss or i charge to shippers on account of such j transfer. "The . state railroad and warehouse ; commission, on a petition asking it, di- | rected the construction of a 'V' track ! by the Willmar ft Sioux Falls Railway j company and the Wisconsin, Minnesota ft ■ Pacific road (the property of the Mm- ; neapolis ft St. Louis) at the intersection i of the two roads near, Hanley Falls June- j tion. VIEW OF THE RAILWAYS. "The railroad companies contended that | the law was unconstitutional and thus i inoperative; not simply because it re quired "the construction of a 'V' (rack, i but because it compelled the company to build and route its traffic over the j lines of another road, thus making such * other company its debtor, and required trust and credit to be given to an in- j solvent company—in short it compelled the making of a contract for the collec tion and disbursement of freight charges without the consent and will of the par ties, and further that the railroad com panies were required to have equipment suitable for the traffic peculiar to the road. That while it is true- that railroad companies do interchange cars, this is I only done under contracts between the \ companies fixing charges for car service, j and when the number and character of I cars, interchanged is such as to enable j each road t.i serve its natrons. "This law. when carried out, would re- j quire any one of the great wheat carry- ' ing companies to deliver its cars loaded j with wheat to connecting lines to be j transported to Chicago, St. Louis and j New York. Such road would not get from j the conecting line one car where it would : deliver twenty. Thus its business would j be paralyzed and the great majority of i Its patrons made to suffer for want of cars, because some few wish to build j and roujle car.- to remote points in other states: '. "Again the law, by such movement of I cars, would require the road to transport I cars of another road an J pay for th« "' usa, while hundreds of the company's own cars were idle on its tracks. "The railroad companies contended that a 'V' was useless unless they could be required to bill and route trafflce and ! send cars against the will of their own j road to far distant points on other lines. - The supreme court decided cm point [ only: That the requirement to build a j -V' was lawful. " Inasmuch as the su- i preme court had passed solely en that j point, the court at Washington affirmed ' the ruling expressed, declining to pass j judgment on the main points upon which the railway companies relied." OXE CASE IS OVER. Counsel for .11 is •.:_-_... Road Failed <»» Appear Before ('(iiiiinissliincrx. A virtual ending of the bearing on iron ore rates; so far as the Duluth, Missal*.. & Northern road is concerned, was i cach ed yesterday when the state rai road and. warehouse commission declared the evidence closed on thai hearing. When the commission met yesterday morning, the time appointed for the resumption of the hearing, the counsel for the Missabe, Messrs. Murray and Cotton, failed to ap pear. Stenographer A. A. Farrington stated to the commission that he had three- documents which he requested by the counsel for the Missabe to present to tin- commissioners. One of these pa pers was a form of contract used be tween the company and its patrons, one a statement of intervention from the Minnesota Eastern and ih_ Duluth ft Iron Range, and the other, the mere statement of the attorneys Mr. Far rington was sworn and the document-, introduced as the state's exhibits In evi dence. Upon oath Mr. Farrington stated, In answer to a question from Attorney T. D. O'Brien, for the state, that Messrs; Murray and Cotton had given him the.-. documents a; the Ryan hotel at abiut 9 o'clock yesterday morning. In answer to a question by Commissioner Knox he stilted that he did not know whether they intended lying present during the session which had been called, lie had been Instructed by the attorneys to mere ly inform the- commission that they were still engaged in gathering necessary evi dence In their case. The form of contract submitted was according to the statement of Messrs" Murray and Cotton, a fairly representa tive of the contracts in vogue with their patrons, differing only in minor de.ails. The rates are the game as indicated by. the contract in evidence, and some of the contracts arc* printed, while others are verbal. The commission, with Attorney O'Brien, withdrew and considered the further course of proceedings. Upon their return Commissioner Knox sub mitted the following: "Notice for the hearing was originally served on the Duluth, Mlssatvj & North ern and the other companies Nov. 10. It was set for Nov. 2, and on that day this company and the other companies ap peared before the commission and asked for a continuance of sixty days. Thi; was denied, and the case was continued at their request until Dec. -I. when, en account of an accident to the attorney for the Duluth & Iron Range, the mat ter again.?! that company was further continued till Dec. 17. when the case against the Missabe was proceeded win. Since that time the case has twice h en Continued for the defendant company for the pu_po_.o of permitting them to vaiia i further evidence.

"I, therefore, move that the evidence to be received^in this hearing, which refers solely to"" the Duluth, MJssabe & Northern, be closed.'^ ~ * A vote was taken. and Commissioners Ringdal and Knox suported' Vb>i motion, while Commissioner Becker opposed ,it. Commisloner Knox then made th? sec ond motion, which' was that- further hearing in this matter, referring to the Minnesota Eastern and the Duluth & Iron Range, be continued until Mon day, Dec, 1". This motion was adopted. ...... The following is an embodiment of the notice of intervention'submitted by M. D. Grover for the Minnesota Eastern and Frank B. Kellogg 'for the Duluth & Iron Range: . >.._,", . "The commission having held that the proceeding under the resolution , of Nov. it. 1900, against the Duluth & Iron Range railroad, Duluth, "Missabe ft Northern Railway company and the Eastern Railway Company of Minnesota severally claim the right ■ to • intervene and now intervene in the proceeding against the Duluth, Missabe ft Northern- Railroad company, and each of said in tervening companies, now offers to prove and request a reasonable opportunity to prove such matters, as it may be ad vised are pertinent to the issue and they severally request due notice of any bearing appointed by this honorable com mission for that purpose." NO ORDER TO BE MADE NOW. The commission now claims the right under law to make an order- for the re duction of the Missabe's rates, as they consider the case of that company closed. Commissioner Knox, however, stated yesterday after the hearing that no order would be issued until the hear ing had been had on the other two roads and all the evidence available by the commission was" In. . The exact course that will be pursued by the Duluth ft Iron Range Monday when their ease is again called is not known, but it is probable that no prog ress will be possible for the lack of evi dence. r ~ As far as the Minnesota Eastern is concerned it his been impossible, states M. D. Grover, for the necessary evidence. to be accumulated, and, there fore, it will be practically Impossible to go ahead with the case. HILL IX l.a.*; ERIE. What is Thought at Chicago of <''*-' \ \Yetv. Dcr.L CHICAGO, Dec. 14— Chronicle to moirdw will say: The selection of Nor man B. Ream and James J. Hill, as di rectors of 11. Eire railroad means that the 'Amour-Ream-Field syndicate, which a short time ago went into the Balti more at Ohio road, has secured a strong grip on the Erie system. It is not known to what extent the other members of the Chicago! syndicate have invested in the Erie, but it is the opinion that they have hough as heavily as' they did in the B. & <>.. and Messrs. Ream and Hill were selected to represent th? syndicate. The deal is bu: another part of the scheme to amalgamate as much of The railway systems of the; country under one in terest as possible. The scheme was be gun about a year ago and so well has It been managed that'now there is not a great system in the East that is not own ed outright by the same men or syndi cate's with which they are interested, It is expected that within a year the West ern territory will be as tightly bottled up as has been the Eastern Held. It is believed that Hilljhas been brought into the Erie as sort or" a practical reorgani*. zer rather than as. investor as he was in the B. _*_-. O. The failure to get a pooling bill through congress is asid to be the reason of the extension of the scheme of amalgamation. With such an excellent comity ol ownership and control the earnings of the different roads may he easily divided without recourse to illegal contracts. WOULD LI KM TO 111 V.
