Power. He also held that the railroad

the law prevented them from doing direct

would be illegal and a writ of injunction

The case was transferred late Monday
night by the Northern Pacific Railway
Company from the State TO the Federal
Court and an order 10 show cause return
able this morning why the temporary in
junction granted by Judge Elliot should not
be dissolved, was secured from Judge Loeb
rem and served late last night on Mr..
PowerS's attorneys. The answer of the de-
fendant was filed in the District Court
and an order removing the case TO the Fed
eral Court was secured from Judge Brooks,
of the Hennepin district Court.
The Northern Pacific's answer was a
lengthy document of thirty-two type-writ-
ten pages and ostensibly was prepared on
a few hours notice. All of the legal staff
of the railway was on hand al the calling
of the case in Judge Lochren's court this

The Northern Pacific's attorneys contend
ed that the retirement of the preferred
stock was in every way legitimate; that
it had been legalized by a majority vote
of the stockholders; that ii had no relation

that Powers action had been purposely
delayed until it was thought to be too late

the courts.
To this Powers attorney answered that
the New York action was in behalf OF a
holder of preferred stock. who could not
legally object TO the retirement under the
terms of the charter. The present action
had a different relation, because il is
brought by a holder of common stock who
claims that his property is injured by the
method of retirement adopted. Powers at
