SOLICITOR CENTRAL JOHN X. RICHARDS.
sisted 10y Milton ID. Purdy. attorney of
the United States for the district of
Minnesota.
Opposed to the government will be
such eminent corporation lawyers as
former United States Attorney Cen
eral John W. Griggs Of New Jersey
William L. Guthrie of New York and
John G. Johnson of Philadelphia.
Whichever way the suit goes. the
final decision must have farreaching ef-
feet Should the government lose its
suit and the supreme court uphold the
decision of the circuit court, it will
show that method has been discov-
cred and indirectly sanctioned by
which all the railroads of the country
may. practically speaking. be merged
into one control. There might be one
great merger or there might be groups
of mergers. with an understanding"
regarding territory.
The point. however, would he settled
that a company could buy a controlling
interest in the securities of railroads
which are parallel and competing lines
without violating the antitrust law and
that the railroad managers had discov-
cred way to combine as extensively
as they saw fit.
Should the government win the suit,
the question of the legality of other
transportation systems now operating
parallel and competing lines would be
raised. For instance, no less than three
large railroad systems entering New
York city operate, under the same in
terest, competing parallel lines. This
makes the prospect of Mr.. knoX's win
ming his suit serious one. If the at
torney general can break up this uni
fed management Of the two northwest
ern roads why may he not break up all
the great railroad systems that have
come into being within the last ten
years or since the passage of the anti
trust law?
Without new legislation, then, the
result of the pending case will be Ell
ther a wholesale disruption of the great
railway systems of the day or else an
extraordinary development of the COM
bination principle.
Whichever way the case goes. results
so farreaching will follow either alter
native as to make the question raised
by the merger case the most important
in its industrial, social and economic
phases Of any question that has come
up in the present administration and
perhaps in many administrations.

General Lord Roberts was sent to

NEW HEAD OF NAVY
MASSACHUSETTS MAN WHO LOOKS
LIKE THE PRESIDENT.

Why William II. Moody Wns Select
Iessness and Honesty of Purpose.
Personal Characteristics.
The new secretary of the navy. VIII
liam IL. Moody. singularly resembles
President Roosevelt both in appearance
and in mannersms. Mr. Moody is
not quite as tall as the president. nor
does he wear glasses; but. like him. he
is athletically inclined He has. more
over. the same explosive style of talk
ing and the quick. nervous habit of
cutting off his words. Indeed he has
frequently been pointed out in the
house of representatives as President
Roosevelt's double.
In selecting Mr.. Moody to succeed
John ID. Long the president. it is said,
was actuated by several motives one
is that he has the highest opinion of
Mr.. Moody'S abilities and personal
qualities. values his judgment and
feels that he is a safe counselor An
other is that he has a personal liking
for him. The two men have a great
deal in common. They have similar
tastes, are bo,h Harvard men and
think alike on many questions.
Another good reason for the selection
is that Mr.. Moody is one of the most
popular men in the house. In the cab
met he will be the connecting link be
tween the executive and legislative
branches of the government. The pres
ent cabinet is handicapped in that there
is no man in it who has seen service
in either branch of congress, which is
rather a disadvantage.
William II. Moody was born in New
bury, Mass. forty-nine years ago and
is therefore five years older than the
president. He was graduated from
Harvard in 1876, the year that Roose
welt entered the university.
After Mr. Moody left college he set
tied in Haverhill. Mass. and began the
practice of law BY hard work and
close application to his profession he
became one of the foremost criminal
lawyers in the state. In fact. one of
the secrets of Mr.. Moody's success in
whatever he has undertaken has been
hard and persistent work
From 1890 until 1895 he was district
attorney for the eastern district OF

"The Northern Securities company
does not have and never had any cap
ital sufficient to warrant such a stu
pendous operation" continued Mr..
Knox. ''Its subscribed capital was but
100000, and its authorized capital stock
of $400.000,000 is just sufficient, when
all issued, to represent and coyer the
exchange value of substantially the
entire stock of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway companies
upon the basis and at the rate agreed
upon, which is about S122 100000 in
excess of the combined capital stock
of the two railway companies taken
at par.
If the government fails to prevent
the carrying out of this combination
or conspiracy, not only will Il virtual

foreign commerce, formerly carried on

lines in the carrying of interstate and
foreign traffic be destroyed. but there
after = all transcontinental lines
indeed the entire railway systems of
the country, may be absorbed, merged
and consolidated, thus placing the pub
lie at the absolute mercy of the hold

Throughout the petition of Attorney
/ General Knox there are manifest an
aggressive spirit and determination to

no mincing of words or handling of

the government will be conducted by
