GAS TRUST DISSOLVED.
Judge Windes, at Chicago, Issues n
Decree Which Ends the Monopoly.

Judge Windes yesterday. at Chicago. took
up the case Of the People against the Chi
cago Gas Companies and announced that
he had modified the decree Of dissolution
asked for and would now enter it.
The effect of the decree is to absolutely
dissolve the trust and compel the gas COM
pantes and the individuals interested in
| them to operate their interests sep arately.
The modification ordered by the court Is
that the Individual defendants IN the pro-
ceedings be also bound by the decree as
well as the seven gas companies to cease
their present mode Of conducting their bus
mess.
Attorney General Maloney was not on
hand to hear the decree. He telegraphed
Judge Windes that the strike prevented
him from reaching Chicago In time for the
hearing. and asked that the hearing might
be postponed until he could be present Rut
the Judge said that he would not wait. The
only ostensible representative of the people
who was in court was Mr.. Schofield. Judge
Windes took the caution to express entire
confidence in Mr. Maloney's honesty and
sincerity OF purpose and intimated that he
did not accept the theory that the attor-
ney general had sold the people out.
A decree. as entered by consent, finds
that the several companies are incapable
under the law of taking, holding or owning
the stock Of any Of the other companies,
and that the certificates of stock Issued by
the Suburban Gas Company and held by
the Chicago Gas Light and Coke Company
are Illegal and that no right or interest
therein IL vested in the last named COM
pany. The Chicago Gas Light and Coke
Company is ordered by the decree to sur
render all the stock of the Suburban Com
pany In its possession. All the companies
are also perpetually enjoined from issuing
any or their stock to any corporation, for
elGn or domestic. The gas companies are
also to refrain from executing any unlawful
trust
Within sixty days after the entry of the
decree each Of the seven gas companies is
commanded to elect for itself a board Of
directors. which shall carry on the business
OF each company Independently and sepa-
rate from the others. All questions relating
to the Fidelity Insurance. Trust and Sa fe
Deposit Company are left for further con-
sideration by the court when that COM
pany enters it's appearance in the proceed
