' Dismayed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Tbe United
States supreme court today delivered it
opinion In the case of Minnesota against
to Northern Securities company in appli
cation of the state to file a bill of com
plaint tn that court. The opinion was read
by Justice 6hira and tbe motion for leave
to 01 tbe bill w denied on the ground
that this court was without Jurisdiction.
- This Is the case in which the atate of
Minnesota made effort to secure the Inter
vention of the supreme court to prevent the
meriting of The' Northern Pacific end the
Great Northern railroad companies by In
junction. Justice Bhiras summed up tbe
judgment of the court as follows:
Aa the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railway companies are Indispensable
parties, without whose presence the court,
acting aa a court of equity, cannot proceed,
and as our constitutional jurisdiction would
not extend to the case It those companies
were made parties defendant, the motion
, for leave to file the proposed bill must be
and la denied.
amsnary of tbe Case.
The opinion U a voluminous ono, but tbe
greater part of it is a review of the history
of the cate. Summarizing the charge and
Ihe relief sought, Justice 8h:ras says:
The case presented by the charges id
rayer of the hill Is that the state of
linnesota In apprehensive that a majority
of the stockholders, respectively, of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific com
panics, respectively, have combined and
have made an arrangement through the or
ganisation of a corporation of the state of
New Jeraey whereby such consolidation or
what la alleged to amount to the same
thing, a Joint control and mananement of
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railway companies, shall operate In such
a way aa tn overrule the policy of the
state to prohibit the consolidation ol paral
lel and competing lines of railway, and
therefore appeals to a court of equity to
prevent by Injunction the operation nnd
effect of auch a combination and arrange
ment, He than stated that the question to be
determined wsa whether the partita to the
case wars bofore the court and he held that
It was obvious that the minority stock
- holders of the two railroad companies are
not represented In the controversy by the
companies whose stock they hold sad their
rights ought not to be affected without a
hearing, even If It were conceded that a
majority of the stock In such companies,
held by a tew persons, had assisted iu
forming some sort of an Illegal arrange
ment. Moreover, it must not be overlooked
that It Is not tbe private Interests of
stockholders 'that are to be alone con
sidered. Mast Protect Pnblle Rights.
The opinion then continued:
The directors of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway companies are
appointed to represent and protect, not
merely the private and pecuniary interests
of the stockholders, but the rights of the
fiublto at large, which la deeply concerned
n the nroper and advantageous manage
ment of tbe.e public highways. It is not
sufficient to say that the attorney general
or the governor or even the legislature of
the state can be coneliuUvely deemed to
represent the public Intervals in such a con-

troversy aa that presented by the bill. Even
a state, when It voluntarily becomes a
complainant In a court of equity, can not
claim to represent both sides of the con
troversy. Not only have the stockholders,
be they few or many, a right to be heard
through the officers and directors whom
they legally selected to represent them, but
the general Interests of the public, which
might be deeply affected by the decree of
the court, are entitled to be heard and that
when the state is the complainant and in
a case like the present can only be effected
by the piosence of the railroad companies
as parties defendant.
l.'pon it might turn out that the allega
tions of the bill are well founded and that
the state Is entitled to relief, or It might
turn out that there Is no Intention or design
on the part of the railroad companies to
form any combination In disregard of the
policy of the state, but that what la pro
posed Is consistent with the policy and
advantageous to the communities affected.
But In making such Investigation a court of
equity must Insist that both sides of the
controversy shall be adequately reported
and fully heard.
When It appears to a court of equity that
a case, otherwise presenting ground for its
action, cannot be dealt with because of
the absence of essential partlea. It Is usual
for the court, while austalning the objec
tion to grant leave to the complainant, to
amend by bringing In auch parties. But
when It likewise appears that necessary
and Indispensable partlea are beyond the
reach of tbe Jurisdiction of the court or
that when made partlea, the Jurisdiction
of the court will thereby be. defeated, for.
the court to grant leave to amend would
be useless.

ST. PAUL, Minn.. Feb. 24. The an
nouncement of tbe United 8tates supreme
court decision against the application of
tbe state of Minnesota for leave to Bis
suit against ihe Northern Securities com
pany was received in this city today with
out surprise. President Hill of tha North
ern Securities company, when notified by
the representative of the Associated Press,
refused to disci ss tbe opinion of the court,
contenting himself with the remark that
it was no mora . than be had anticipated
several weeks ago. Governor Van Sant was
not Inclined to express any views on the
matter, and Attorney General Douglass was
also averse to saying anything. It Is known,
however, that slice the announcement by
United States 4ttorney General Knox that
he would bring suit against the Northern
Securities company, under the Sherman
act, the stata officials here have looked for
just such a decision as that now announced
by the United States suprema court. Such
action by the federal officials will not be
allowed to stop further action by the stats
of Minnesota, but no decision has yet been
made as to tha form such proceedings will
lake.
Later in tha day Governor Van Sant gave
the following brief statement to tbe Asso
ciated Press:
"It cannot be stated positively what will
be tbe method of proceeding until tha text
of the decision of the supreme court on
the question of Jurisdiction Is known.
The stat will proceed in some manner at
one and exhaust every meaus in Its power
to enforce Its laws and protect Its rights."

QUESTION ABOUT BOND ISSUE
Ordinance Providing; tow 180,000 of
Bonds Is Said to Bo
Defective.
It has been reported about the city hall
that the ordinance Introduced in the coun
cil by Mr. Hascall at the last meeting, pro
viding for the Issue of $190,000 In bonds to
to take up "the floating Indebtedness" of
the city Is defective, and that several ob
stacles will be Interposed at Tuesday
night's meeting In the way of its passage.
One city official who has Investigated the
matter said:
"The ordinance is defective in that tt
doesn't specify what the bonds ar to be
Issued for. As a matter of fact the bonds
are Intended to make good the $190,000 In
special taxes on the Hanscom park and
other districts, recently set aside by the
courts, but the ordinance doesn't say so.
It says "floating indebtedness," wberess th
city has no floating Indebtedness. ' Ths or
dinance may be passed, but I very much
doubt If the bonds are ever Issued.

as ha boarded a train for Kansas City, "but
we have not yet mad any arrangements
for a hotel in Omaha. We have been In
consultation with Mr. Her' during tb day,
but ther Is positively no Information to
be given to th public at this tlm in re

Palpable Error.
The city counc! failed to meet last
night and various reasons are given. It
had been reported that Mayor Kelly pro
posed to rectify his error fn th appoint
ment of a library board. This was ono
reason for the members falling to get to
gether at the appointed time. While a
majority of the council voted to confirm
the appointment of the board as named
by the mayor, Councilman Johnston haJ
been wise enough to see the error and ad
vocated the action ' taken. It haa been
plainly s'ated by members of the council
that unless Mayor Kelly changes his plana
and appoints nine men on the board, he
will find it hard to secure a confirmation.
Some of the councllmen are of the opinion
that the mayor is playing a political trick
on them and they propose to resent any
such action.
