IIARRIM L8SES APPEAL
Northern Sscuritist Ooapaiy May Dit

NEW JERSEY DECISION IS REVERSED
Court of Appeals at Philadelphia
I'asses on Suit Brought to Hf.
train Pro Hall Dlatrl
ballon of Shares.
FIHLADEM'HIA. Jan. 3 -The United
States court of nppcUs for the Third Judi
cial dlatrlct. In an opinion filed here today,
reveilles a decision of the Now Jersey
circuit court, which restrained the Northern
Securities, company from distributing cer
tain stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company. The decision is a defeat for the
Interests represented hy K. H. Harrlman.
By a decree of the New Jersey court the
Northern Securities company was re
strained from disposing of 370,230 shares of
the common stock of the Northern Pncliic
Railroad company," alleged to have been
received1, from E. H. Harrlman and
Wlnslow S. Pierce, and of 8i7,0!i0 shares of
the common stock of the Northern Pacllic
Railway company received by the Northern
Securities company from the Northern Pa
cific company. Today's decision, however,
gives the Northern Securities company the
right to dispose of the stock.
Harrlman and Pierce, when the Northern
Securities company had been declared by
the United Slates supreme court to be an
Illegal combination, demanded tne rt turn
of the original stock they had contributed
at the time of the organization of the
combination. The Northern Securities com
pany, it was claimed. Intended to make
a pro rata distribution of the stock of the
contributing companies.
Transfer Was a Sale.
The opinion was written by Judge Dallas.
After reviewing the organisation of the
combination and its subsequent history,
the decision sals:
Harrlman averred that the shares of rail
way stuck in question were acquired hy
the Securities company; that It would
hold them as custodian, depositary, trus
tee and owners of salt, shares were the
parties who originally exchanged the same
for stock In the Northern Securities com
pany. The Northern Securities company
claimed that it ucUired the stock by pur
chase and that it owns the stock outright.
After quoting the resolution underwhich
the stock was acquired the opinion says
the resolution contemplated a purchase
and nut a trust nnd that the resolution
was adopted at a meting ut which llurri
mun was present. The opinion continues:
The Northern Securities company Is tho
owner of 1,537,5H4 chares of the stock of
the Northern l'aclllc Hallway company,
which has been restrained from voting or
receiving dividends and in view of this re
straint all parties agree that it should not
continue. The Northern Securities com
pany accordingly proposes to assign theiu
pro rata to Its shareholders Including noi
less than 2,5uu persons whose shales are
unquestionably acquired by purchase and
who are not parties to tills suit, and as
such disposition of them would affect a
ratable, and, therefore, equitable division
of them amongst all who are entitled to
participate In a distribution of the cor
porate assets, wo ure of the opinion that
the Injunction which prohibited it should
no longer remain in force.
Kot Alrendy Adjudicated.
If the question before us had been In
volved and decided In the suit of the
Vnlted States agulnHt the Northern Se
curities company, or If It had been passed
upon, though but Incidentally by the su
premo court of the Vnlted States In dis
posing of the appeal in that case, we, of
course, would not regard It as an open one.

Newport News, Va., July 22, 1903.
Last summer while recovering from ill
ness of fever, I had a severe attack of In
flammatory Rheumatism in the knees, from
which I was unable to leave my room for
several months. I was treated by two doc
tors and also tried different kinds of lina
ments and medicines which seemed to
reljjeve me from pain for awhile, but at the
same time I was not any nearer getting
' well. One day while reading a paper I saw
an advertisement of S. S. S. for Rheuma
tism. I decided to give it a trial, which I
did at once. After I had taken three bot
tles I felt a great deal better, and I still
continued to take it regularly until I was
entirely cured. I now feel better than I
have for years, and I do cheerfull; vecom
mend S. S. S. to any one suffering from
Rheumatism.

the well
tlon or bill of the I'nited States did pray
that the stockholders of the railroad com
panies who had exchanged their stock
1 herein for stock of the Northern Securities
company should be required to surrender
any stock of the Northern Securities com
pany so acquired and held by them and to
accept therefore the railway stock In ex
change for which the same Is Issued; but
the decrre Insofar as it was mandatory,
went no further than to prohibit the doing
of "the specific thing' which being done,
would effect the result denounced by the
acf 193 I'nited States. 356. This was all
that was requisite and It was accom-
( dished by that part of the decree which
las been already quoted; and the added
clause, though apparently suggested by
tho prayer of the bill to which it referred
was obviously not intended to have any
obligatory effect.
Part Sot Obllsrstorr.
It was permissive merely and this plafnly
appears trom Its terms that It is necessary
only to direct attention to them. They
are:
"Hut nothing herein contained ahall be
construed as prohibiting the Northern Se
curities company from returning and trans
ferring to the stockholders of the Northern
Pacllic Railway company and the Great
Northern Railway company, respectively,
any and all shares of stock in either of
said railway companies which the said
Northern Securities company may nave
heretofore received from such stockholders
In exchange lor Its own stock, and nothing
herein contained shall be construed ns pro
hibiting the Northern Securities company
from making such transfer and assignment
of the stock aforesaid to such person or
persons as may now be the holders and
owners of its own stock originally Issued In
exchange or In payment for the stock
claimed to have leen acquired by It In the
aforesaid railway companies."
This decree was affirmed In Its entirety
and the complainants asked leave to Inter
vene In the Minnesota suit. The decision
here reviews the Minnesota litigation and
In conclusion says:
From all that has been said In the fore
going the decision must be reversed.
Judge George A. Gray of Delaware filed
a dissenting decision. He said:
I dissent from the Judgment of the ma
jority of this court. I do not think the
Judge below other than Bound Judgment In
granting the injunction. Nothing but a
clear conviction that the bill was without
equitv would have Justified the court below
In refusing the Injunction. As I am of tho
opinion that the injunction ha given due
consideration to all parties to the suit and
a case established to entitle complainants to
the protection of the Injunction I am in
favor of aflirmlng the decree.
Comment of Harrlman.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3. E. H. Harrlman,
when he was shown the bulletin announc
ing the decision of the court In the North
ern Securities case, sold: "The matter now
has been before four Judges, and so far it
Is an even division, two having declared
for us and two against us." Mr. Harrlman
declined to say anything further regarding
the case.
The adjourned annual meeting of the
Northern Securities stockholders In Ho
boken today bus again been adjourned until
Junuary 9.
The only persons present at the meet
ing were W. P. dough, the fourth vice
president and the secretary-treasurer. No
action except that of adjournment was
taken.
Representatives of the Harrlman faction
were in conference today and It can be
authoritatively stated that application by
writ of certiorari will be made before tho
supreme court at Washington. It is under
stood that the decision handed down by
the court In Philadelphia Is not effective
or operative before thirty days.
J. J. Hill was seen at his office. He
said he was pleased, but not surprised, at
the d.eision. There will be no haste, he
said, In distributing the assets of the
Northern Securities company. He had
not yet received a copy of the decision,
but expected it later in the day. He was
asked:. "Does this mean a settlement?'
and replied: "Why, yes, the court settles
It." Mr. Hill was asked whether there
would be a meeting of the opposing Inter
est as a result of today's decision. He
said he knew of no reason for such a
meeting. Mr. Hill was reminded that Mr.
Schiff had appeared before the directors
on the Northern Securities company last
summer with a settlement proposition. To
this Mr. Hill replied that Mr. Schiff on
that occasion showed that he stood alone
In his attitude.
The announcement of the Northern Se
curities decision . caused a Jump In the
price of Northern Securities on the curb
from 132,. at which it closed on Saturday,
to 135. The price then fell back to below
134. The high price of I'nion Pacific was
llfi'i. compared with 113 on Saturday, and
that stock then fell back a point. The
whole list on the Stock exchange was af
fected in sympathy with I'nion Pacific. St.
Paul shot up 3H nnd Southern Pacific 1.
The railroad llet genrralr? was a point or
more higher than Saturday, but did not
hold, and the market became dull with the
uncertainty caused by the fluctuations In
these dominant stock.

WORLD-HERALD TO FIGHT eX
Beatsa in Saloen Licenses, it Proposes t
Panne the Driggisti.
DECLINES TO DROP ITS FUTILE PROTEST
Former Policeman Moore Brlnaa n
Proteat Aaralnat Henry Rutins,
but ! Overrated by the
Board I nnnlmooslr.
At the meeting of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners last night W. J. Con
nell, attorney for The Bee Publishing com
pany, agreed to withdraw the protests
against druggists licenses, applications for
which were published in the World-Herald.
If the latter paper would guarantee a like
courtesy for the applicants for druggists'
licenses advertising In The Bee. This the
World-Herald declined to do and so the
matter still remains In statu quo.
The application of Henry Keating for a
license to operate a saloon at 3J1 South
Fourteenth street was protested by Fred D.
Moore, ex-policeman, on the ffround that
Keating is not a proper person to conduct
a saloon adjacent the Krug theater, which
Is asked for In the foregoing application,
and on the additional ground that the es
tablishment that he did run at 302 North
Sixteenth street was a disorderly place.
Testimony Against Moore.
The remonstrance was heard before the
board, Henry Rohlff and Charles McMahnn
testifying In behalf of Keating. Rohlff
stated that the remonstrant, Moore, had
told him that he ' had been to much an
noyance and expense recently as a result
of his trouble as a police ofllcer ut Keat
Ing's saloon on the morning of February
28 last, and that he thought he ought to
be reimbursed by Keating. Rohlff asked
Moore If some arrangements could not be
made to withdraw the remonstrance and
he said he thought ho ought to have $inn.
Rohlff told him that he did not think Keat
ing would consider any such proposition,
and then Moore intimated to him that he
thought IS00 would settle it, und wanted
the settlement made through his attorney,
Emil Cunningham.
Charles McMahon testified that Moore
had made a similar proposition to him In
the city hall last Saturday morning, and
that Moore had told him that by seeing
his attorney the matter could be settled
for $300.
Moore testified that the remonstrance was
made In good faith and that he did not
think that Keating was a fit man to run
a saloon so near the Krug theater. He
denied talking to Rohlff about a settle
ment. Lawyer Cunningham, Moore's attorney,
stated that he had prepared and filed the
protest at the Instigation of Moore. He
believed that all of Moore's troubles, loss
of position, etc., were directly attributable
to the fact that Keatlng's saloon was un
lawfully open on the Sunday morning of
February 28, and that Moore was there
In the lawful discharge of his duty as an
officer when the trouble occurred resulting
In the death of George O'Neill. In his
conversation he asked Keating If this could
not be settled on some basis.
Proteat Overruled.
There was somo further little sparring
between the attorney, and Commissioner
Spratlen finally moved that the protest be
overruled as it was not evidently brought
In good faith, and that tho application be
granted and bond approved. The motion
prevailed unanimously.
Moore thereupon Immediately filed an ap
peal against the decision of the board.
Fred S. Moore,-former police officer, who
was recently acquitted In the Douglas
county district court of the killing of
George O'Neill during an altercation In
Keatlng's saloon In February , last, pre
sented a petition to the board asking re
instatement on the police force, and also
a claim for certain pay alleged to be due
from from the date of his suspension to his
resignation. The application for pay was
referred to the city attorney, and the ap
plication for reinstatement was placed on
file.
The bond of Stephen P. Morris as a spe
cial policeman was filed and approved.
The confirmation of the appointment of
Charles E. Williamson as a special police
man went over until next Monday as the
mayor has not signed the appointment.
The report of the police relief fund was
filed, showing S6.1U0 in the fund, with the
recommendation that $4,000 of the fund be
Invested In city bonds. The recommenda
tion was approved and the city treasurer
was instructed to make the Investment us
requested.
A letter was received from Chief of
Police Kellogg of Sioux City, thanking
the Omaha fire department for its prof
fer of assistance during the recent confla
gration In that city.
Baiter Wants More Money.
Chief Salter of the tire department sub
mitted a communication in which he stated
that the appropriation of Jl&o,uoe, less 10
per cent, would not be sufficient for the
maintenance of the ..department for the
ensuing year. His estimate for the ensuing
year contemplates the expenditure of $1U7.
000. He recommends - that the city charter
be so amended that at least $250,000 can be
appropriated for the use of the depart'
ment per annum for the future. He was
also of the opinion that the residence por
tion should have the same fire protection
that is given the commercial portion. He
further recommended that the new hose
wagon and new city truck he put into
commission at once, and that the old
material It la to replace be placed In stor
age. He thought that the new hose house
at Eleventh and Jackson streets and the
new engine house at Twenty-seventh and
Jones streets should be aUo Immediately
placed In commission.
Upon the recommendation of the chief
of the fire department John Fry was per
manently appointed as an assistant en
glneer.
Officer William Good of the police force
pleaded guilty to the charge of being In
toxicated while on duty, lit promised that
this Would be the last time he would ever
be guilty of such an act, and after being
given a wholesome lecture by Commis
sioner Broatch, he was fined a forfeiture of
all pay during his suspension. He was
then directed restored to duty and ordered
to report to Chief Donahue for duty this
morning.
HIATUS IN THE COUNTY BOARD
Term of Old Expires Today and New
Begin, on Toeaday of Next
Week.
The present Board of County Commis
sioners ends Its term of office at midnight
on Wednesday. Under the statutes as they
stand at present and as they have stood
for many years back the new Uourd of
County Commissioners does not take office
and organise for business until January
10. This leaves a hiatus of five days be
tween the outgoing of the old board and
the Incoming of the new one, during which
time (here is no county legislature or gov
erning body in existence.
Of course, the business of the county
goes on Just the same, the cmfcity clerk and
bis staff taking care of all matters of a
routine nature touching the curing for
the poor and similar business. No una ap
pears to know Just why this Is so, a. id
no effort has seemingly ever been niude
to rectify this defect In tho law govern
ing: the Douglas county board.

Underground Wire Ordinance Mskti Iti
Appearaict at Last.
TELEGRAPH COMPANIES HAVE AGREED
Omaha's Baalnraa Dlatrtrt to Be Freed
from Wires and I'olea Within
m Very Short Time If
Council Acta.
An ordinance for the extentlon of the un
derground wiring district was Introduced
before the city council last night by Coun
cilman Evans, with the comment It had
been approved by City Electrician Mich
aelson nnd by the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph companies, who are prin
cipally affected. The ordinance provides
the underground district shall l bounded
by Eighth street on the east, by Eighteenth
on the west, by Capitol avenue on the
north and by Jackson on the south. This
Is the same as the former underground dls
trict except on the south, where it Is ex
tended from Howard. Within this district
the new ordinance provides all wires shall
be underground except clock, alarm, com
mercial printer nnd such wires. Theso are
Hot to be suspended In the streets hut
across buildings and in alleys in places
where they will not Interfere with the fire
department. The telegraph nnd telephone
wires are not to be placed In any conduits
or to come In contact with any manholes
wherein are heat, power or light wires. Th
connections with buildings are to be made
for all wirre only from poles in alleys- and
no wires are to cross the ctreets. South of
Jackson and Including I avenworlh street,
wires are to be allowed overhead, but they
are to be cabled The companies are to be
allowed until September 1 to comply with
the requirements. Wiring recently done by
the telegraph companies has had this
change In view, so that a part of the pio
vtalons have been complied with.
Zlmmnn and K.lhonrn Deh.ite.
The council and Its spectators were
treated to a very warm debate between
President Zimman and City Clerk Elbourn
on the question: "Resolved, The president
of tho council is Justified in not approving
the minutes of the council meetings as kept
by the city clerk." Mr. Zimman maintained
the records were untrustworthy and Mr. Ei
bourn maintained Mr. Zimman was mis
taken under another name, and pointed
with pride to the records kept In the past.
Councilman Nicholson, who held the chair
during the passage-at-arms, appointed Bock
and himself a committee to bring In a de
cirton. A protest was read from the residents or
Capitol avenue between Twenty-eighth
avenue and Thirtieth street against the ex
tension of the sewer along that avenue.
The city clerk was authorized to issue a
new warren t to J. P. Connolly for one lost,
under the condition Mr. Connolly furnish
the city with a bond for $iJ0 for Its protec
tion. Provision was made for a board of ap
praisers to examine property on Ninth
street from the north line of Barker s sub
division south to Spring street, with a view
to widening Ninth street.
A delegation of property owners In Nel
son's addition was present to protest
against the grading of the alley between
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets.
It was shown tho alley, after going two
blocks from Indiana avenue, had no outlet
and Is so narrow teams could not be turned
in it except by going on to the surrounding
lots, which could not be done If the alley
b.hucu. jne report or the appraisers
was rejected.
