WAR In THE WOODMEN'S CAMP
Women from the West Ignored and
the Pacific Jurisdiction Suspended.

ST. LOUIS, March 12.-Seven delegates,
representing the Pacific jurisdiction of nine
States in the Sovereign Camp. WoOdmen's
Circle. Ladies Auxiliary of the Woodmen OF
the World. bolted the convention being held
here and proceeded TO effect new organ
ization by adopting a constitution and by
laws and electing supreme officers. The
break in the circle was occasioned by the
Sovereign Camp ignoring the women in the
West in making up its list of committees
and officers. On hearing that they had
been thus ignored. the Western women pre-
scented to the Sovereign Camp a resolution
asking for separate jurisdiction. This
resolution was promptly downed and the
seven Western delegates walked out of the
convention i'll a body. The boilers We're

THAT is not the only split that will occur
in the organization said Mr.. %. a. Grim

ereign Camp of Woodmen has suspended
the entire Pacific jurisdiction of Woodmen
OF the World from participation in the con-
vention. and by so doing has very probably
laid the foundation for a rival organiza-
ton.
To-day was spent by the sovereign camp
in revising the constitution. The section OF
the constitution debarring liquor dealers
from membership reaffirmed. The

ed at st. Paul TO examine the histories in

After careful examination and the eX-

no history in use as a textbook gives such
an account OF the war period as entities il
to the communication of the committee:
that no one of them makes any use of the
important period in our history and of its
great events TO teach lessons of patriotism:
that the child without other sources of in
formation would be entirely unable to de-
termine whether there was any difference
i'm the patriotism OF those who fought for
the preservation of the national unity and
those who fought for the destruction of our
government; there is in all of them a gen.

VICTORY FOR A TRUST
BILL AGAINST THE AMERICAN TO-
BACCO COMPANY DISMISSED
On the Ground that "a Corporation
Like an Individual. Has the Right
to Sell 10 Whom 1t Pleases.

TRENTON, n. j., March 12.-Vice Chan
cellor Reed this morning filed with the
clerk of the Court of Chancery his de-
cision dsmissing the bill brought against
the American Tobacco Company. The suit
was brought Jointly in the name of the at
torney general and Miller Brothers. tobacco
dealers, of Newark, for the purpose of ye-
straining the Tobacco Trust from transact
ing its business and from conducting the
business in a manner prejudicial to the
compliments and injurious TO the people
of the State of New Jersey. The opinion
is a volumnous one and Vice Chancellor
Reed makes comparison as to what would
be the rights of an individual and a corpo-
ration under the same condition. He says
that ii would not he thought OF to go into
court to restrain an individual from eXer-
cising the right of selling TO whom he
pleases. and he argues that a corporation
has the same right in this respect as an IN
diVidual. He says IL il perfectly obvious
in this case that on the assumption that
the American Tobacco Company is legal
ly organized corporation. there is not the
least ground for imputing TO IL conduct,
since its organization. of an ultra wires
character. The question as TO whether the
corporation Is legally organized Is one, the
vice chancellor holds, which should be de-
termine6 by court at law under quo war
ranto proceedings. The syllabus of the opin-
ion is as folOWS:
/. court of equity does not possess the
power to restrain corporation organized
under the forms of law from performing
acts within it's corporate power merely be-
cause some of the steps taken in organiz-
ing the corporation may have Deen lrregu-
lar or because the purpose of the incorpora-
tors may have been to establish a mo-
nopoly.
g Under these conditions quo war
ranto is the appropriate proceeding to chal-
lenge the right of the corporation to eX-
ercise its franchise.
3. \ trading or manufacturing cor
poration until its charter is annulled by
such proceedings at law, has the same au-
thority as an individual trader or manu-
facturer to sell or conSgn its goods to
select its selling agents and to impose con-
ditions as TO whom il shall. and the terms
upon which il will, sell.
4. a decree restraining the. officers
and agents of corporation from executing
its corporate power is the same as a decree
enjoning the corporation itself.

BURIED IN DEEP SNOW

AND FEW TRAINS RUNNING.
Worst Blizzard of n Biizzardy Winter
in Northwestern States-Many
Lives Possibly Lost.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 12-Reports
from the big storm of yesterday have been
coming in faster than the railroad trains,
for these are generally delayed or block
AIDED and il will be several days before
all roads are again in good running order
Reports from all parts of South Dakota to-
day gave evidence OF the storms fury. Some
lines are tburied beneath ten to fifteen feet
or snow and drifts are miles i'm length. The
snow of last night did more actual damage
than any other of this winter-one that has
never been equaled in the costs it has
levied on railroads. Wednesday of this week
after almost Herculean struggles several
roads opened their lines and began NOV
ing freight to towns where food and fuel
famines existed. The time these trains were
well on their way the storm blocked every
thing. Freights are stalled in all parts of
the Dakotas and Minnesota. Scarcely a.
passenger train is moving north of central
South Dakota. aIuch stock on moving
trains has been killed and thousands of
head of cattle are reported dying in east
South Dakota. Northern Minnesota loggers
are all forced out of the woods and work
will cease.
An Ashland, Wis, special says: 1t is ru-
mored that numerous lives were lost in the
great blizzard that swept the shore of Lake
Superior last night. The storm came from
the northwest piling the ice fifty feet high
on the Apostle islands and other points
on the south shore of the lake. The snow
in the streets of Ashland is from four TO
six fet deep. Railway traffic is almost at

this Mas the unanimous opinion OF the
