STATE OF WASHINGTON rs NOW
THE COMPLAINANT.
AGAINST RAILROAD MERGER
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Northern Securities Are All
Foreign Corporations.

st. Paul, March 26-Notice of suit
by the state of Washington against
the railroad merger was served this
morning on President J.. j. Hill Of the
Great Northern; President G. s. Mel
len of the Northern Pacific, and on
the Hudson Trust company of Hobo
ken, N. j., as trustee and authorized
representative of the Northern Secur-
its company of New York.
The suit will be brought against the
three, defendants by the state of Wash
fngton and complaint will be filed in
the United States supreme court
April z
The complaint was also served on
each of the defendants. It is almost
a duplicate Of the once filed in the
supreme court by the state of Mime
sofa. Minnesota was excluded from
the right to bring suit in the supreme
court because the Great Northern is
a Minnesota corporation, and no state
can sue it's own citizens in the United
States supreme court.
The Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific and Northern Securities are all
foreign corporations to the state Of
Washington, hence Attorney General
w. B. Stratton. Of that state, who
is still in st. Paul. believes the United
States supreme court will assume jur-
isdiction in the present suit.
The complaint alleges the value Of
Washington state lands depends upon
the competing of railroads to a con
siderable exten. That the commercial
interests Of it's citizens and the cost
of taking supplies to the state insti-
tutions in Washington depends upon
the uninterrupted railroad. competi-
ton. 1t alleys that j. j. Hill and J..
P. Morgan have turned over a control
ling interest of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railroads to the
Northern Securities company, which
is thereby made a trust existing in
restraint Of competition and in viola
ton of law.
