ANTI-puLaMAN COMPANY CASE.
Decision for the Most Part In Favor
of the Defendant.


CHICAGO. ILL. June 1.-Judge BAKER
this morning handed down his decision
IN the case OF Attorney-General Moloney
against the Pullman Palace-Car Com
many. in which the former claimed the
defendant company had violated its char
ter by conducting number OF
enterprises other than those Tor when
the State granted IL charter ana that
the charter should, therefore, be Tor
fcited.
The Court sustained only two or the
charges against the company. one was
that the company had exceeded It's power
IA becoming the owner Of twenty-three
,crog of land I'm the town Of Pullman,
which had been put TO no use. and the
,ther was that II violated its charter IN
becoming the owner OF n part OF the
stock OF the Pullman Iron ana steel
Company.
The Court holds that tho company had
the right 10 erect ten-stCry ofhce-Dulld-
ing IN Chicago and rent the greater part
Of II to tenants; that II has the right 10
sell intoxicating liquors in It's cars ana
that in the purchase Of the land upon
which the town OF Pullman is built, and
the erection thereon Of 200 dwelling
houses. 20 be rented TO its employees, the
company did not violate It's charter, but
only took upon itself powers which were
implied in the grant Of the Legislature
The company is also sustained in the
erection Of schools and church in the
town of Pullman. and the sale 10 the
tenants Of its houses and Of water and
gas from the plants which the company
owns.
The twenty-three acres of land which
Is unoccupicd the company viii be com
PEELED to sell under the decree
OF ihe Court. and IL viii be compelled
70 dispose OF what stock IL owns in the
Pullman Iron and Steel Company. These
two interests. in which the company was
defeated by the Court. involve only about
$4,000.
" the Supreme Court sustains Judge
Lanler the company viii so on with its
business undisturbed. andswuh its method
OF business practically unchanged by the
suit of the Attorney General.
