MERGERITES IN JAIL
Possibility of the Prosecution Of
Northern Securities Co.
PENALTIES UNDER SHERMAN LAW
RumOr That j. p. Morgan Has Gone
to Warrington to Consult
the President.
Now York .s.s,, Special Services

New rk, Feb 22.-The conviction OF
j.. P. Morgan, j. J. Hill, Jacob Schiff, E.
r. Hartman and others concerned In the
Northern Securities company, against
whom President Roosevelt has directed
Attorney General Knox to bring an ac-
ton, may result in Jail sentences for the
men accused. &
The Sherman law of 1890, which it is
charged the new monopoly violates, pro-
vides that every contract combination, in
the form of trust or otherwise, or con-
spirtcy in restraint of trade or COM
merce among the several states or with
foreign nations, is illegal. 1t adds:
Every person who shall make SUCH contract
or engage in any such combination or con-
spracy shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor. and on conviction thereof shall be
punished by fine not exceeding $1,000 or by
Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both
said punishment in the discretion of the court
Every person who shall monoDolize. or at
tempt to monopoize. or combine or conspire
with any other person persons to monopo-
lize. any part of the trade or commerce among
the several states with foreign nations
shall be deemed guilty.
The president aims at the very life OF
monopoly. The Minnesota suit merely
seeks to have the court decide whether
the state of New Jersey can authorize s
corporation to do in Minnesota things
that are in violation of the spirit OF Min
nesota law.
rumor that J. P. Morgan has gone tc
Washington to consult with Presiden
Roosevelt has served to quiet the fears
of some traders.

WHERE is MISS STONE Z
Time UP and She Has Not Appeared
rreachery Feared

Time UP and She Has Not Appeared
Treachery Feared.
Washington, Feb. 22.-Fear is expressed
In Washington that Miss Stone has again
been spirited away or that she was mur-
dered by the brigands even before the
ransom was paid. It is estimated at the
state department that fifteen days have
now elapsed since the money for Miss
stones ransom was paid over to the
agents of the brigands. At least five days
have elapsed beyond the time fixed in the
stipulation to place her in the hands of
the delay. 1t Is hoped that physical con-
ditions, such as heavy SHOWS and adverse
weather. may account for the failure to
secure her delivery.
The officials are loath to believe that
there has been breach of faith on the
part of the brigands, but even if this were
SO, they do not regard themselves as
blameworthy for having trusted them
From the first, the United States govern
ment has been adverse to paying the ran
som, but In response to appeals from
ever quarter, it reluctantly authorized
Mr.. Leishman to deal with the brigands.
However, II 1t turns out that the brigands
have broken faith and that they either
have taken the ransom money and spfr-
tied the capttves away again, or that they
have killed them, then there will be no
further attempt to deal with the briRands
on the part of the United States govern
ment, but Its entire power will be di-
rected upon Turkey and upon Bulgaria
to procure the swift and certain extermi-
nation OF the brigands, regardless Of cost
or effort.

duction, Leon Bouck, respectable and well
known here, yesterday applied to the
district court for writ Of habeas corpus
to recover his girl wife. who is kept
close prisoner in the home of j. w
Cooper, her father and prosperous mer-
chant. The attorneys for the defense
moved a continuance of thirty days, which
was taken under advisement.
Bouck eloped with Pearl Hooper, and
they were married here and stopped al
the Vendome under assumed names, while
a policeman stood outside with warrant
for their arrest. He is out on $1,000 bail
strict, making Bouck plainly liable, and
he may go to the penitentiary for five
years. The father says the girl is only
Is years old, and Charles Dixon, >Whc
swore at Sioux City her age was 20, tc
secure license, is under arrest fol
perjury.
A remarkable feature Of the fight ove1
the girl wife is the fact that ]. J. Nc.

county attorney of Dakota county, was

yesterday, but in the later trading re-
covered, closing at the highest of the day.
The dealings were much smaller than on
Thursday, about $500 shares changing

Officers and others prominent In the
company continued to maintain silence as
to President Roosevelts action in direct
ing the attorney general TO proceeu
against the company under the sherman
antitrust law. Some interest was taken
in Wall street in reports that the pro-
moters of the company would take out a
foreign charter rather than have doubt
hanging over the legality of the com
pany's organization. 1t was alleged that
the United States authorities could not
prevent an English or other foreign cor

AIR KILLS BACILLl
Recent Aeration Tests Made on City
s.. - Water.

Mechanical aeration of city's water
supply has of late years been exploited
as one OF the most effective means of as
suring pure water. This system has been
tried in several cities of the smaller class
in the last year or two, and is said to be
in successful operation in Reading, "a.
A Minneapolis man has lately perfected
system Of this kind and DR.. ]. F. Cor
bett, at the instance of Health Commits
soner Hail. has just completed test OF
it's merits. The results show that there
is undoubtedly merit in the aeratlon sys-
tem ,.s -......- @.s -. . 49,
DR.. Corbett found that city water SUB
jected to the process of mechanical aera-
ton for fifteen minutes lost about 80 per
cent of it's pathogenic bacteria, the ones
that are dangerous to health. OF course,
the destruction Of only one-half of the
disease germs In the water would not JUS
tify the use of an aeration system. The
results must be nearer those Of mechAnl-
cal filtration, which has a record of re-
moving 80 per cent of the dangerous bac-
teria, In order to- warrant it's adoption as
means of water publication.
DR.. Corbett will make other tests OF
the system to ascertain results under con-
ditions of longer aeration.

SOCKS FOR TEDDlE H.
St. Louis Travelling Man Gets a Wife
..5 and Surprise.

The Minneapolis friends of Teddie l..
Hopkins, travelling man, st. Louis,
"socked it to him." at a quiet little din
ner at the Hotel. Nicollet last evening.
Teddie has been making Minneapolis for
great many years and heretofore he
has, to quote Lew Docstader, "been all
alone" But there was some one with
him when he struck town the other day.
1t was Mrs. Hopkins. ..
When Varney Russell and Frank Towne
learned that their old friend had been
married they at once got up dinner and
a donation party for him.
Some time before the supper hour Ted
die was blind-folded and led through devi-
Gus ways about the city streets and
finally back to the hotel and dining-room.
From the chandelier hung an immense
cornucopia, bottom upward When Towne
removed the lid out rolled a deluge Of
socks Of every color and combination,
sufficient In number to 10 Teddie service
for the remainder of his trip down life's
pathway. The donors had looked we'll to
the future, also, for there were several
pairs Of suspiciously small socks in the
bunch--so small that they would just
about fit Mr.. Hopkins little finger. He
got even by telling some of his best sto-
ries with local applications.

SESSION TO Be LONG
Much Business Before Swedish
Lutherans at Red Wing. .
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS SALARIES
Question Of Admission of English
Lutheran Conference to Come
-- ..... Up Monday.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Red Wing, Mimi, Feb 22.-The Swedish
Lutheran conference attempted to modify
the vigorous rule which prevents stu
dents who have not decided to enter the
ministry from assisting pastors or acting
as teachers. A warm discussion resulted
in the passing Of a motion which prac-
tically leaves the subject to the decision
of the synod and conference presidents.
A lively debate was occasioned by the
report of the committee on teachers sal
aries at Gustavus Adolphus college at ST..
Peter. 1t was proposed to equalize SAL
aries according to length of service. This
was not favorably received. Many thought
it was the duty of the board of directors
of the college to fix salaries Professor
Carlson of Minneapolis moved that the
salaries be recommended by the board Of
directors and fixed by the conference. This
carried, but owing to the discomfort on
account of the inequality OF salaries it
was reconsidered and the matter re-
opened. No final result has yet been
reached
Owing to the volume of business the
conference will not be able to complete it's
work until Tuesday evening. Among the
important matters to come up Monday
will be the consideration Of the report
from the committee having in charge the
question of inviting the English Lutheran
conference to become part of this con-
ference. This will probably precipitate
one of the warmest discussions of the
meeting.
HHome Missions"
Home Missions" was the theme before
the conference last evening, the discus
sion being opened by Rev. J. A. Grantz
Of Duluth, secretary of the conference.
DR.. Telleen of Rock Island followed, and
after him came DR.. Novelius of Vasa,
president of the synod. He said in part:
'It is now soon fifty years since this
field was opened, in fact, this very con-
gregation can in 1905 celebrate it's fiftieth
anniversary. Thus you see the work has
been going on for some time I preached
my first sermon here in barroom and a
small offering was given me to help the
cause. Since, we have grown stronger
and stronger each year. We then had
to rely on peoples homes as churches and
the people assisted us In any way they
could.
II have the honor Of being the first
travelling home missionary in Minnesota
That was in 1860 and I lived in ST. Paul
I ask you as a conference to work harder
for home missions"
The services were closed by an earnest
prayer by DR.. L. A. Johnston of St. Paul.
vice president of the conference.
