HEARING OF ANTI MERGER CASE
Further Information Regarding Great
Stock Deals.

New York, March 21.-George w.
Perkins. of the firm of j. p. Morgan u
Co, was the first witness yesterday
in the hearing before a special exam
liner of the suit of Peter Power against
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. The object of the suit is to pre-
vent the operation of the Northern Pa
cific by the Northern Securities Com
pany. His firm, he said, was a pur-
chaser of Northern Pacific between
May / and 8 last year; but how much
was bought he did not know. Neither
did he know how much of the stock ].
p. Morgan & Co. held on May 1 1901.
bought about $7S,O00,00O of Northern
Pacific stock from Union Pacific in
terests after the Northern Securities
Company was formed in November.
About s10,OoO,O00 was paid in cash and
the rest was to be paid for in stock
of the Northern Securities Company.
After taking the stock from the Union
Pacific interests, j. p. Morgan & Co.
sold it to the Northern Securities Com
pany, receiving therefor $10,000,o00 in
cash and the balance in stock The
cash received from the Northern Sc
curities Company was equal to the
sum paid the Union Pacific interests.
Mr.. Perkins said that at the time of
the purchase of the stock by his firm
there was no agreement in existence
with the Northern Securities Com
pany in reference to the disposal of
the Northern Pacific stock. He said
his firm simply acted as brokers in the
transaction. In case the stock was
not disposed of to the Northern Sc
curities Company, 1t would have been
turned back to the Union Pacific in
terests. Mr.. Perkins said he did not
know whether or not j. p. Morgan &
Co. owned any of the stock of the
Great Northern railroad during the
summer or autumn of 1901, and he did
not know how much Great Northern
stock the firm owned now.
do you know that the firm of. j. P.
Morgan & Co. acquired S16.0O0.OO0 or
$1s,ooo,oo0 worth of Northern Pacific
stock between May i and 8, 1901 ~
Mr.. Perkins was asked by Judge Lam
caster.
The witness said he had no knowl-
edge of any such transaction.
Judge Lancaster then asked for a
INST OF All the members or the nrm OF
j. p. Morgan & Co. The list was
handed to him. A conference en-
sued, during which it was suggested
that subpoenas might be issued for
some of the members or for ALL
The next witness was A. P. Clough
vice president and director of the
Northern Securities Company He
said the transfer of about 100000
chares of Great Northern stock to the
Northern Securities Company had been
completed, and that negotiations were
pending for about 100000 or 100000
chares more. There We're 1,250000
chares of Great Northern in existence,
he said. OF Northern Pacific stock,
$150,000,000 par value had been turned
over to the Northern Securities Com
pany. Mr.. Clough said he never knew
OF any arrangement between Mr. Harri-
man, Mr.. Morgan, Mr.. Hill and others
subsequent to May 1. 1901, by which
Mr.. Morgan was to be given the proxy
of Mr. Hartman in the Union Pacific
in exchange for Mr.. Hartman being
placed on the boards of the Northern
Pacific and the Chicago Burlington G.

SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING COLUMNS.

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is a good time for developing the
plan, because Il comrade may have ad-
yertising without cost if he will get up a
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a club-raiser he may have 81 worth of
advertising.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed at , cents word, which is Il very
low rate You reach qrlartermillion
readers and will often get hundreds Of re
plies from Il single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try ii
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful.
An enterprising comrade who sees bust
ness in this should send So at once for sub
scription coupons. This will get him
guesses in the next contest, enable him to
get s. back from subscribers, and, under
present terms, give him s. worth of ad-

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1 was
much interested in the article, ''The
Crossing of the River" by Geo. Dallas
Mosgrove, and also Communication from
J. B. Kirk, Of Lima, Ohio. entitled THE
Salem Artillery"
Well do l remember the Sunday morn
ing of July 26, 1868. l was but boy
at the time, and about 100 men, women
and children were attending Sunday
school at the M. e. Church, about 10
O'Clock a. m. Rezin Pritchard and Rev.
George VoglesOng stepped up into the
door and MIR. Pritchard said: eve had
better tell them or they will all be killed
right in here" whereupOn Rev. VoglesOng
made the announcement that the rebel
General, John Morgan, was only five
miles south of us and travelling at the
rate of 10 miles an hour. He had 5000
troops with him, and was burning and
destroying everything in his path.
1t is needless to say that there was
some scampering out of the church, ana
as these were the days of inflated hoop
skirts, many a poor fellow found him
self greatly entangled before he got out
of the house. When once out we found
people running wild. James Cochran, a
leading member of the Knights of the
Golden Circle, was driving two large
pedding wagons north into a thicket with
all of his horses, and DIR. J. J. Yates, who
had a couple of valuable horses, suddenly
thought of sick patient he had up north
of Salem, and lots of old rubbish of diff
ferent kinds was taken and buried in
cellars and out-of-way places.
As Salineville. Hanover and Salem were
three of the important stations on the
Underground Railroad. it was at once sur

Cuban Who Was Benefited by Yankee
Methods

In the province of Havana, after the
departure Of the Spanish army, tobacco
planter, named Gonzalez, found himself
penniless, his family scattered, his planta-
ton destroyed, and his home and store
houses burned. He had been one Of hun
dreds Of victims. Leaving only the waste
ground behind, he had fled with his family
to escape the further rage of the Span
ards.
Happy even to have life as his sole
heritage Of the conflict, Gonzalez set about
rebuilding his fortunes. He managed 10
borrow $500 from a friend in Havana. He
bought n pair of heavy boots, n few tools,
horse and some tobacco plants. He made
his way through a wilderness to his for
mer home. There was nothing but a wild
growth of weeds and heaps of fallen
stones and charred timbers for a wei
come: but, with energy born of necessity
he began his herculean task. He cleaned
up part OF the ground and planted it,

of his pluck is to be seen today in a flour

boarded away, now did good service.
Without them it would have been almost
impossible to finish the task. A code of
signals was invented to meet every pos
slble contingency. By pounding bar of
wood upon the stone floor, those above
communicated to the men working under
meath information of any threatened dam
ger, and called upon them to come up,
If necessary. The walls of the air-cham-
Der were two or three feet thick, and
built of huge stones. Two or three of
these stones were removed, and a tunnel
was run straight to the outer wall of the
hall.

was at once determined to secure that
