VIOLATION OF SHERMAN LAW
THEORY UPON WHICH THE ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL BASES HIS
CASE.
will PRESENT FACTS ONLY
MERGER PLANS TO DESTROY CON-
PETITION IN INTERSTATE
COMMERCE..

Washington, March 9. The suit
against the Northern merger will be
begun in the United States district
court at st. Paul, and the bill prepared
by the department of justice has been
forwarded to the United States attor-
ney in that district to be filed Monday.
The bill is not a long or complicated
one. Attorney General Knox and So
licitor General Richards decided to
make the complaint on the organiza-
ton OF the Northern Securities COM
pany as in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law. They will attempt to
show that the organization of this
company is in violation of law and for
the purpose of
Destroying Competition
in interstate commerce, because 1t
seeks to take control Of all the stock
of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern railways. The position of the
department of justice is that If the
Northern merger is legal all railway
combinations and pools will be legal,
and there is no way to prevent the con-
solicitation of all the railways in the
United States. The attack, therefore,
will he ON the act of consolidating the
stock as an indirect means of CONSOLE
dating the control of the railways and
destroying competition. The bill will
not
Go Into the Details
of what has been done toward destroy.
ing competition, but present the facts
as to the means of defeating the law.
If the counsel for the Northern Securi-
ties cOmDany admit The facts presented
in the government bill there may be no
long arguments, but the question of
law left to the court to secure an early
decision and bring it to a final settle
ment before the supreme court. If the
counsel for the me: ger do not admit
the facts and arguments are to be pre-
sented, Solicitor General Richards and
probably Attorney General Knox will
go to st. Paul to take part in the pre-
sentation of the governments case.

INFATUATION AND MURDER

One of the Most Cold-Blooded MUIR
ders Michigan Has Ever known.
Grand Rapids, Mich, March 9.-The
latest developments in the investiga-
ton into the death of Mrs. Ada I<lump
the young wife Of William Klump of
Lowell, point to one of the most cold
blooded murders Michigan has ever
known. After oiligent inquiry into
the circumstances of the case, Sheriff
Chapman took William Klump into
custody and lodged him in Jail here.
The officers express the belief that
Klumr either sent poisoned powders
through the mail himself. or knew who
did send them, and that the main OBJ
ject was the removal of Mrs. Klump.
A motive is found for the alleged crime
in the story that Klump was infatu-
ated with another woman, a widow,
whom, it is al. ged, he had agreed to
marry.

who lived near by, thought there was
danger. She hurried down the track,
took off her skirt and tagged the train.
Her intention was all right and the
company yesterday sent her check
for $50.
