BEAR RAIDSENDSOATS DOWN.
Fal! of Five Cents on False Rurnor That Pat
ten Was Unloading.

minutes May had recovered nearly all it's
loss and after its drop from AK &c to 39Ac
began to steady around ACC. The usual
weather and crop conditions had prac-
tically nothing to do with the onslaught.
It was a case of speculative manipulation:
And yet after the first hours excitement,
the feeling was still very tense. Traders
feel that the coarse grain situation is a
matter Of guesswork. The only thing
certain is that If prices are very high
compared with ordinary years, naturally
the break in oats affected other grains.
Patten Denies Selling.
Later developments showed that bears
had taken advantage Of Patterns absence
from the pit to raid the market. Patten
made this statement.
| have not sold a five of oats this morn
ing. 1t is a deliberate raid. There is no
doubt but it started to force me to
sell. The tailers are out but the people that
after.
Wheat and corn had slumped badly Sat-
urday and were in a fair position to break
again, though at the opening they had
shown firmness. May wheat did break
from 1850 tc TIC, but reacted on the
oats revival to 777c. May corn also fell
off from SIC to 6OAc, and feeling the in
fuence Of oats relatively stronger than
wheat reacted on the early squirt only to
61c. Provisions were weakened as we'll
and broke from SC to 22Ac.

Chicago, Jan. q. - Panic stared the
board of trade spectators in the face
when business opened to-day, Tor the bot
tom seemingly had fallen out of oats. It
all came about by a tremendous bear
campaign begun by enormous liquidations
in May oats. For some time traders
have been predicting that something
would happen" in oats and as soon as
stream Of May oats began to flow into the
pit prices dropped. dropped. dropped.
At cnce gossip had it that James Pat
ten. mayor of Evanston, who is credited
with a corner of 10000, 900 bushels of May
oats, was unloading. Weak holders of
margined oats had to let go everything
they had; exuberanf bears said 1--WE told
you so,' and began to sell short in great
quantities and everything went by the
board. Millions Of bushels We're liquidat-
ed and in less than half an hour May oats
fell sc.
Support, however, soon appeared in a
marked degree. The talk changed of the
Patten liquidation to the other view of
it-that an attempt had been made again
to squeeze Patton. When it was found
Patten was buying and other longs came
to the support the early sellers became
frightened, hurried to cover and prices as
quickly began to ascend again. In fifteen

BUILD CANAL
President Roosevelt to "Call
Down. Some of the
Senators.

From The Journal Bureau. Room 45, Post
Baildiny, Washington.
Washington, Jan. 27.-On high authority
it may be stated that President Roose
welt is disguised over the delay the senate
proposes in the consideration of the 18TH
milan canal project and in his characteris-
tic fashion proposes in a short time to
call down those senators who are under
suspicion Of being in league with the
transcontineptal railways to present ac-
ton Roosevelt, without being committed
to any of the several routes, says this
government must build canal and build
it at the earliest practicable moment.
He is quoted as having said to-day:
The fifty eighth congress-, to be elected this
year is at stake. The defeat Of canal legis-
laton may mean that the republican party
will lose in the November elections. This is
SO evident a proposition that ] cannot see
how anyone can escape it. I don't care Il
rap about the eroute, but l insist that this
government must build and that promptly.
In marked contrast with Roosevelt's at
titude, which is increasing in strength
daily, is proposition Senator Scott, of
West Virginia, made in the senate to-day
to appoint a commission to Investigate
and report the Feasibility of the Darien
tunnel project Such commission could
not report for several years, and probably
the only purpose Senator Scott had in
view was one sof delay 1t cannot be
stated with too much emphasis that
Roosevelts dander is up, and he is get
ting ready to say some interesting things
to certain we'll known senators.

DOUGLAS BRIEF
Contention That Minnesota Laws
Must BE Observed.

Must BE Observed.
Washington, Jan. ~. = In the United
States supreme court to-day Attorney
Douglas Of Minnesota renewed his mo-
tion for leave to file bill Of complaint
ON behalf of the state against the North
ern Securities Company in the matter of
the merger of the Northern Pacific rail-
road with other railroads, saying that he
had given notice to the defendants as re-
quired by law. Chief Justice Fuller an
nounced that the argument upon this mo-
>tion would be heard later in the day, as
soon as the hearing In the case under con-
sideration could be completed.
When the preceding case had been COM
pleted, Attorney-General Douglas was
recognized to make his argument in sup
port Of the motion for leave to file his
bill Of complaint.
Mr.. Douglas made the following points
in support Of the right of the state to file
an original suit in this court.
The complainant bases its request for leave
to file and present its bill of complaint upon
section 2, article 3, of the constitution Of the
United States, which grants original jurtsdic-
ton to this court in all controversies between
states and between q state and, a citizen of

Boston, Jan. 27.-Dr. .Augustin Thompson
Of this city claims that eleven years ago
he discovered Professor Jacques Loeb's
theory as to the source of life energy and
that human life may be prolonged to the
age of $50 years or more by transmitting
into the body a force which, like food is
sustaining DR.. Thompson claims that
he has gone farther than Professor Loeb,
in that for several months he has actual
ly practiced upon that theory with sue
cess. In an interview the doctor said: -
Professor Archer, New Yorks famous chem
list, declares it the most wonderful thing in
the world. AS for myself, I say positively, I
can take man whose nerve center is weak
ened and restore him to health. l have done
it for hundreds. I did it for myself Now,
Professor Loeb claims that electricity is life.
l assert that it is not. Electricity is only the
physical force of the universe Let one stop
eating food and all the electricity existing will
not prolong his life. ..,.
DR.. Thompson declares that with the
aid of an imperceptible current of cleo
tricity he transmits to the human body
the exact results of pure food upon a per-
feet digestion, which he claims are sure
cure for all ills of mankind.

We take it that this court will assume that
the citizens Of the state generally will suffer
materialu injury by the removal Of COMPETE
ton in freight and passenger rates within the
state. Presumably it was in recognition OF
this principle that congress adopted the anti
trust law. It is In recognition of this same
principle that all of the antitrust laws of the
various states have been adopted. and. IN
fact this is the basic principle of all Of the
decisions holding common law monopolies In
valid and against public policy. Such being
the case. we contend that it is not only the
right but the duty of the state to prosecute
this action in behalf of the citizens of the
state.
It is as much part of the duty of a state,
in it's sovereign or governmental capacity, to
secure to It's citizens their common rights, as
1t is of the United States to use its sovereign
powers in behalf Of it's citizens for similar
purpose. 49,

ton of this court to protect its property and
individual rights and interests in an action
against citizens of sister states has long been
recognized. The state of Minnesota owns up
ward Of 100000 acres Of land within Its
limits, which Is near to, or in the territory
alone traversed by the two railways in ques-
ton: and the state is dependent almost en-
tirely upon those roads for the development
Of this land and the furnishing of transporta-
ton facilities to the same. The value Of these
lends and their STABILITY will be greatly Inn
paired by the consolidation. The income OF
the state derived from taxation, for the main
tenance of state institutions. as well as the
performance Of its executive, legislative and
judicial functions, will be seriously impaired
and interfered with by reason of such consol-
idation. The state has granted many millions
of acres of land to various companies as a
consideration for building and maintaining
parallel and competing lines of railway with
in the state, many of which railway lines are
now owned or controlled by either the Great
Northern or Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany. 1t is therefore submitted that the state
of Minnesota is so far interested, in its indi
vidual capacity, in the subject matter of this
action, as to entitle it to maintain the same.
The state also claims the right to maintain
this action as parens patriae, or as trustee
or representative Of all her citizens.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-27

The statutes Of the state OF Minnesota. the
enforcement Of which form partial basis
for the relief sought, are In no sense penal
statutes. They provide punishment for
their violation. They are not only not penal,
but we think form part Of the contract
which gives the state the right to maintain
this action both in it's individual capacity as
well as that Of parens partiae. The stock
holders of the two railway companies whose
properties and lands are sought to be con-
sohdated have been granted the right by the
state Of Minnesota to be, or to exist as, cor
porations within said state, and to exercise
the right Of eminent domain. 1t is we'll
settled principle of law that the public
statutes of state relating to a corpora
ton become and are part Of the charter
of corporation created in or permitted to
do business in such state; that is part Of
the consideration which the state receives for
granting the right to be a corporation and
exercise the powers and privileges as such
in the state Is an agreement on the part Of
such corporation and it's stockholders that 1t
and they will observe the laws of the state
relating to such corporation.
It must be borne in mind that in addition
to the statutes prohibiting the consolidation,
the state Of Minnesota has contributed over
TO- 600 acres of land in order to secure
the construction and maintenance of some OF
the parallel and competing lines by either
the Great Northern or Northern Pacific Rail-
way company. A part Of the consideration
which the state received for the lands granted
was the implied agreement the part OF such
railroad corporations and their stockholders,
that these lines of railway should be main
tanned and operated by such corporations as
parallel and competing lines.
Consolidation Forbidden.
A part Of the statute law of the state Of
Minnesota relating to railroad corporation,
| has been for nearly thirty years that no con-
solidation in any manner whatever shall
take place between parallel and competing
lines of railway within the state That is one
of the conditions and considerations demanded
by the state for the right to be railroad cor
poraton and to exercise the powers and privi-
leges Of such within the state Is that free
and open competition in both freight and pas
senger rates shall exist between the lines Of
railway operated by such corporations; and
the violation of these statutes Is violation
of the contracts rights OF obligations OF the
corporations as we'll as of the stockholders
thereof with the state, and, as we contend,
gives the state the right to maintain an ac-
! ton to enjoin such violation. The enforce
ment of such statute is the enforcement of a
remedial statute, OF a statute which gives
the right to the state in its individual capacity
as we'll as in its capacity as the representative
of It's citizens, to maintain this action In
any court of competent jurisdiction.
The state OF Minnesota in attempting to
enforce Its statutory right and remedy by
means Of this action, Is not asking this court
