strain by injunction citizen Of New Jer-
sey from doing these acts which are en-
tirely lawful according to- her laws and
which are sanctioned by her statutory
policy, simply because those acts violate
or evade or tend to circumvent the public

no suggestion that the acts complained of

poration as an investment company to &C

panies The sole ground of complaint is
the alleged violation in New Jersey OF
certain enactments contained in the
statutes Of Minnesota. Hence, he con-
tended that. the injunction prayed for
would be nothing more or less than an
order compelling the Securities company
to obey in New Jersey the laws Of Mime

He called attention to the fact that no
relief is sought against the Great Northern
Railway company or the Northern Pacific,
although both are corporations OF the
state of Minnesota, and BOTH therefore,
within the jurisdiction OF the courts of
that state. This was taken, he said, as
confession that neither of these cor

out that as neither of these companies is
a party to the suit no relief could be
granted against them. ..

Hero OF Santiago Continues Over

Hospitality.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The first item on Ad-
miral Schley's schedule to-day was a Visit
to the w. S. Schley school. The admiral
entered the school through two lines OF
boys holding palms over his head. He
was greeted by the children VINO sang
''See the Conquering Hero Comes.
He made short speech in which ne
said that honor and honesty are the hand
maids OF valor. He said, too, that ne was
very glad to have the school named ait er
him. small boy piped up, 81 am glad
they named it after you,' Whereupon
there were shouts of laughter and general
applause. The 900 children in attendance
marched by the admiral, who shook hands
with every one of them.
At IL a. m. the admiral was presented
resolutions Of est eem and appreciation by
q committee of twenty-five representing
the German societies Of Chicago At
noon he took luncheon with Mr.. Munger
and at p. m. met members Of the Navy
land society of Chicago, at reception in
the Palmer House.
At p. m. the severest physical ordeal
of his visit here began. 1t was public
reception at which the admiral was eX-
pected to stand for two hours shaking the
hands of those who wished to meet him.
At p. m. the admiral will be the
guest of the Illinois naval militia at a
dinner at the Auditorium. A review OF
the first ships crew at their armory will
complete the day.

MISSION. FOR DEWEY.
Will Go to Europe to Boom St. Louis
Exposition:
HEAD OF COMMISSION OF THREE
to Complete Preparations
in Time.
New YORK sun s0scxai service.

Washington, Jan. 27.-It has been prac-
tically decided to place Admiral Dewey
at the head of the special commission OF
three members that will be sent to Europe
to arouse a more active interest in the
St. Louis fair than is now being mani-
tested by many of the old world nations.
Who the other two members will be Is
not known, though it is not unlikely that
to General Miles will be offered position
on the commission. In that event the ad-
miral of the navy would not be the chair
man of the commission, for he is ranked
in the military service by the lieutenant
general of the army. The established rule
of seniority would work in this as in all
other cases where the officers of the army
and navy are brought together in the per-
Torrance of public or semi-public duties.
The commission was asked for by
President David R. Francis and Director
Adolphus Busch of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition. President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hay. readily adopted the
suggestion Several European govern
ments, notably Austria and Russia, have
practically declined to participate In the
exposition, giving as the excuse for SO
doing that they will not have time to
prepare suitable exhibits if the fair is
opened on schedule time, May, 1913. IN
less there is full representation of the
European nations there will be another
strong reason for postponing the open
ing of the exposition for year, which is
being urged by large element of the dl-
rectory. -........
It is the belief of Mr.. Francis that the
special commission which the president
will send to Europe will accomplish every
thing needed to bring all the European
countries into line for the fair in 1903.
