THE NEW YORK TRUST DECISION.

No one thing that has occurred since
the formation of the so-called trusts OF
commerce has done 80 much 10
strengthen the movement against them
as the recent decision of the general
term of the supreme court of the state
OF New York, in which the previous
decision against q member of the sugar
trust rendered by Judge Barrett was
sustained.
In New York it was held from the
beginning by those who opposed
this modern device of extortiou
that the common and statutory law
were sufficient in that state to defeat
them. The statutes there provided
that it should be the duty of the attor-
ney-general to bring suit for the aDnul
ment of the charter of any corporation
whenever such corporation shall have
''torfeited Its charter by abuse of its
powers" or "by failure to exercise its
powers or whenever it shall have
''done or omitted any act which
amounts to a SURF ender of its corporate
rights. privileges and franchises or
whenever it shall have exercised a
franchise or privilege not conferred
upon il by law"
Judge Barrett decided in the test
case against the North River Refining
Company, one of the corporations in
the sugar trust, that this corporation
had violated some or all of the above
quoted provisions Of law, by entering
the trust, whereby it transferred its
functions to trustees, and that for this
reason It's charter was forfeited and its
property placed IN the hands of a re-
ceiver. He went even farther than
this, in finding that the consolidation
Of The Interests OF the various orpora.
-tions constituied an unlawful combina.
fIof.
The general term of the supreme
court 0ftbe state sustains Judge Bar
rett, and says among other things, that
the ssgovernIng object" of the trust was
such that II made the association Sub
ject to the condemnation of the law,
by which il il denounced as a criminal
enterprise" and that by entering it the
North River Company %'renounCed aud
abandoned ITS own duties for the trans.
action and management of its own
business, and placed its interests and
affairs under the dictation and control
of a board which legally should have
no power over it,"
IL will be observed that these two
features of the decision reach all trusts,
as the "crimiual" purpose Of combina-
ton against the interests of the public, |
by destroying competition, and the
yielding of powers to the trust board
are inherent TO the system. They con-
stitute an entire abrogation OF the
principle that a corporation is a crea-
tire OF law, permitted, but only per.
mitted as in a dual. interest-that of
the public and the incOrporators.
The learned judges in their opinion
use these woTds:-"It is a condition
which a corporation is allowed
to be created and maintained that il
shall exercise and use its franchises for
the benefit of the public. And when it
voluntarily declines to do that, or
places itself in a situation in which that
may be prevented as a consequence of
its voluntary action, under the statute,
IS we'll as the decisions OF the courts,

and said of its opponents: ''They aim
at the election of a governor and legis-

SHERIFF REYNOLDS, w. A. Holmes

eight Apache Indian murdGrcrs and
one Mexican to Yuma penitenti.ry,
were killed by their prisoners. The

they started to walk up II heavy sand
wash, but they were hand culicd
together by the wrists in sets of two,
their outer hands being free. At a
signal from one OF the Indians, the
sheriff was seized by the two i'm
mediately back OF him, while the two
Indians Immediately in front OF the
deputy secured his gun, with which,
after killing him, they shot the sheriff,
who was held by their companions.
During the massacre the Mexican ran
to the stage and warned the driver,
Middleton. The latter drew his pistol,
but was shot twice by the Indians and
badly wounded. 1t is thought that, as
the pursurers are nine hours behind the
inurderers, there is but little prospect
of their capture.
