hartley IS A FREE MAN
PARDON GRANTED IN NEBRASKA
Old State Treasurer Had Served Five
Years of a Long Term for
Embezzlement.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 1.-Governor Savage
last night granted an unconditional par
don to Joseph s. BARLEY, former state
treasurer, who five years ago was SEN
fenced to twenty years in the penitentiary,
on conviction of having embezled $780,
600 of state funds. At o'clock, with his
family and lawyer, BARLEY was brought
in a carriage to his home in the city.
BARLEY has been in the state prison four
years and six months, in addition to a
year in the Douglas county Jail while his
appeal to the supreme court was pending.
His entire shortage is alleged to have
been $3.50, 900, but he was convicted on the
single count of embezzling $201 900.
Governor Savage makes an extended ex-
PLANTATION of his reasons for granting the
pardon Primarily, he says, he is led to
believe the ends of justice have been met
in the punishment already infict ed. He
thinks the enormity Of the crime was not
such as to merit the sentence imposed
Further, he finds extenuating circum-
stances. 49,.

pf the railroad, and entitled to participate in
Its affairs, as other stockholders ordinarily

Provisions of the stock.
This has, in this particular instance, a
provision by which the owners of the COM
non stock are entitled to turn it into an
obligation to the company and discharge it;
pay it off on the 1st of January of any year
Tor twenty years.
That Is provision that appears in the
resolution of the board Of directors, and also
in the certificates of stock issued to the pre-
ferred stockholders and to the holders Of the
common stock. So that there Is no question
about this having all the features Of con-
tract obligation, that particular feature which
authorizes the company to retire the pre-
ferred stock at it's option at any time, at the
commencement of the year, within the period
of twenty years.
It is suggested upon the argument that this
was intended to be done from the net earn
ings Of the road; but there is certainly moth
ing in the resolution, and nothing embodied
in the contract as it appears upon the GER
ti6cates themselves, that indicates anything
of the kind.
But there is nothing which seems to com

when this provision was incorporated in the
resolution Of the directors before any stock
was issued, and was put in the form of a
contract in all the certificates of stock, that
any scheme of consolidation of another road
was contemplated.
If the Northern Pacific Railroad company
never thought Of consolidation, but to pay
off the preferred stockholders and issue com
mon stock it had authority to do that. And
that of itself would certainly have no tenden
cy towards consolidation.
It is claimed that it would place certain
persons who alleged to be manipulating
these stocks with view to a consolidation
or merger, in a position in which they would
be enabled to carry out their schemes better
than if there was not a retiring Of the pre-
ferred stock. That is asserted. I do not see

PEOPLE, PRESIDENT
These Foregather Pleasantly at the
White House.
WEALTH OF FLORAL ADoRNMENT
No Flaw to the First New Years
Reception of McKinIey's
Successor.

Washington, Jan. 1.-President Roose
welt held his first New Years reception
at the White House to-day. Surrounded
by the presidential and cabinet circle, ho
greeted officials in every branch Of pub
lie life as well as a great coneourse OF
people from private life. The scene
within the historic mansion was one of
extraordinary beauty and brilliancy and
there was an added touch of interest in
the occasion this year from the fact that
this was the first official function of mag
nltude with Mr.. Roosevelt and his inter-
estlng family, as the central figures. The
day was ideal for the observance OF the
time -honored custom Of making New
Years calls. The sun shone from cloud
less sky, the air was cool and bracing and
a light westerly wind made the White
House flags stand out proudly.
Early in the day an army of decorators
and florists took possession Of the man
sion and transformed the stately corridors
and parlors into bowers OF palms, potted
plants and understanding flowers. The
official program of the day fixed IL
O'Clock as the time for opening the re-
ception with the call Of the members OF
the cabinet and the foreign representa-
tives, but some time before that hour the
approaches leading up to the marble porti-
CO were filled with carriages, while long
lines of people took position at the outer
gates in order to have points of vantage
when the public reception began.

It FAILS TO STICK
Judge Lochren Dissolves Powers
Injunction Against the N. P.
RETIREMENT WAS PROVIDED FOR
The Court Holds That Intended Con-
soIidatiOn Has Not Been
Proved.

Judge Lochren, late yesterday afternoon
dissolved the temporary injunction
granted by Judge Elliott in the Hennepin
county district court. restraining the
Northern Pacific Railroad company from
retiring it's $4,000, 900 of preferred stock.
The court held that the company was
Well within its rights in the action which
it was proposed to take, both it's charter
and the contracts made with stockholders
and set forth on certificates Of stock, pro-
viding that the preferred stock might be
retired in just such way as the road
now proposes to effect that retirement.
Judge Lochren's opinion was delivered
orally. In 1t he held that an injunction
would lie to restrain the consolidation or
merging Of two parallel lines of railroad;
but as there had been nothing in the evil
dence to show that the Northern Pacific
stockholders or directors were contem-
plating any such thing, he dissolved the
injunction in it's entirety.
The decision followed an all-day argu-
ment and was not unexpected.
Further Stay Refused.
For Mr.. Power, the New York man on
whose relation the injunction was granted,
Judge Lancaster sought to file super
~e>'eas bond, the intention being to appeal
ts.-i thus tie up the case until it's final
settlement. This, however, Judge Loeb
rem declined to permit. Judge Lancaster
asked the court If the loss of the road
could be so great through a stay that d
bond could not be fixed sufficient to cover
It: but Judge Lochren replied that the

Securities company, if that is an illegal con-
ception. OF itself, the retirement of the stock
is a lawful purpose.
1t seems to me that the preferred stock
may all be retired without the Northern Sc
curities company being formed; If it is
formed, and if it is unlawful, that it's un-
lawfulness consists, not in the retiring of
this stock, but in the acts which result in
the formation of that company and placing
other securities in that company.
1t seems to me that this injunction should
be dissolved, at least far as it assumes
to prevent the retiring Of the preferred stock,
and l see no reason why it should not be re-
tanned for any purpose.

Late yesterday afternoon Judge Ian

and urged that the retirement of the pre-

introduced to be the first step in an i'm

mere doing of that thing, the retiring Of this

it seems to be admitted upon argument that
a very large majority, nearly the whole of the
owners of the common stock, are in favor of
this scheme. 1t does not appear that any 9TH
err, except the complainant, objects to It,
That of itself would Indicate that it is not a

the Wrecking Of the interests OF those who

being done for the purpose of carrying out an
illegal invention l think there is no doubt
whatever that a stakeholder may enjoin

is a hazard to his interests and a hazard to
the value of his stock.
That is right he has, not because he is
the champion Of any public policy, or entitled
to lltigate matters simply because they con-
Germ the public, but because it affects his
own peculiar individual property interests,
and to that extent he has a right to be pro-
tected by injunction, if need be.
Now, the question is whether this is shown
to have any direct tendency to any illegal
result.
