THE SUGAR TRUST DOOMED.
A Decision Rendered Against It In th
New York supreme Court.

A Decision Rendered Against II In the
New York supreme Court.
New YORK, Jan. 9.--The supreme
court to-day rendered o decision against
the sugar trust. The suit was brought by
the state against the North River Sugar
Refining Company, to forfeit its charter,
ON the ground that it virtually passed out
Of existence by selling out all its stock to
the sugar trust and closing up its works.
The action was begun by Attorney Gem
eral Tabor for the forfeiture and dissolu-
Sucsr Refining C0mpsny, on The ~0Feund
that Il had exoes ded its powers and FRAN
chises In becoming member Of the sugar
trust. Judge Bartlett's opinion 10 the
most exhaustive and probably the most
important one ever written upon the
subject of trusts and monopolies.
The Judge summoned counsel OF both
sides before him and the Jury whose
duty it was to merely formally render q
verdict in accordance with the decision OF
the court. The defendants counsel took
an exception TO the ruling, Judge Barrett
says: 1T did not require the astute mind
that prepared this most original instrti-
ment to perceive that this aggregation of
partnership, with the dangers resulting
from death and exercise of individual
power could never effect safe and perma.
nent cohesion. Accordingly we. find as
one of the first provisions Of the deed and
the basis OF so-called trust structure is the
condition in substance that the partner
ship shall all be turned into corporations.
This, in fact, was done, and thus several
of these corporations were organized for
the express purpose of the recreation Of
various shares of capital stock through
which the combination was to be formed.
The partners took on corporation Rarb, be-
came shareholders and as such fitted them
selves to enter into combination within
