The Seaboal Line claimed that the

the proper p tties, the court had no rieht

The judge in his decision, after reviewing

Neither the Raleigh and Castor nor the
Georgia, Carolina and Northern are par
ties. ana Vet l am asked TO cnjcin rates
over them on the mere allegation that tho
Seaboard by virtue of owning a majority
OF tho Raleigh ana Castor stock, controls
them. Mere ownership of stock is in no
legal sense control. and it IS elementary
law in the federal courts that there Is no
jurisdiction TO enter decree directly af-
fecting the rights of absent parties. In
such ease the court has no alternative but
60 dismiss the bill.
1T is equally clear that the trustee in
tho mortgage securing the Seaboard and
Roanoke bonds is a necessary party. In
the federal courts where any two bond
holders ranged on different sides might
defeat tho Jurisdiction. the doctrine that
the trustee represents them all is too vital
to DO FILTERED away. And a mere allega-
ton OF demand and refusal Is not sufficient,
for any adjudication would not bind him.

RATE FOR HORSE MEAT.
Pacific Coast Capitalist Asks for
Certain Tariff,

A Pacific Coast capitalist has applied
to the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and other transcOntinental systems for
a Is cent rate from coast to coast on
lckle horse meat for export to the
European market. The request is the
outgroWth of the recent move on the
part OF Western men to utilize the
countless wild horses Of the plains for
o for sale in Paris, and in other
markets where horses are eaten in lieu
of beef. Tests have been made of the
American horse in Paris and the re-
suits of the tests proved that the Yam
kee cayuse was as good eating as his
French brother. A move was made
at one time to arrange for the transport
tation of the horses alive to New York.
