Conditions She Would Be Called On
to Meet Too Severe for One
So Young.

will not attend the coronation of King
Edward VII. While the white house

it was stated, by those in position to
know, that the president has decided
that she should no1 go.
It vas learned tonight that the rea-

cling privately in the household of
Special Ambassador Reid, notwith-
standing it was stated she would not
go to London as the daughter of the
; president but simply as Miss Roose-
welt. it was learned that London court
circles were considering seriously the
question of the status she would oc-
cupy in all coronation functions.
When Miss Roosevelt's status be-
came a matter of international discus
sion, the president first considered
the ad~visabilitv of cancelling the visit,
but not until it was found that an in
vitation to visit the emperor and en-
press of Germany was on the way to
America, was it decided that in view
Of the extreme youth of Miss Roose-

STATE COURTS CAN'T REACH Sc
cURiTIEs COMPANY.
BAR Ell FROM u. 5. COURT
Congress Will Be Asked to Amend
Laws Relating to Jurisdiction
Of Federal Courts.

st. Paul, March 7.-Attorney Cen
eral Douglas has appealed to con-
gress in the Northern Securities case.
With the backing Of the Minnesota
legislature and of the Minnesota dele
cation in both branches of congress
al Washington, he hopes for an
amendment to the federal laws which
will change the anomalous position in
which Minnesota is 10Y placed.
The decision in the Northern Secur-
tiles case, it is said, shuts out the
state completely from redress in the
federal courts. The court lays down
the rule that a state cannot u a cit
izen Of another state where citizens
of plaintiff state are necessarily par
ties. This class of cases is absolute
ly barred from the federal courts.
In the belief Of most attorneys the
Northern Securities company cannot
be reached in the state courts of Min
nesota. An effort in this direction
may be made by service upon Pres
ident Hill himself, who is a citizen
of the state, but there is not much
hope of success in this direction.
Attorney General Douglas has rec
ognized the far reaching effect of this
decision and has called the attention
of Governor Van SAINT to it in a let
ter. This was transmitted to the
legislature. The senate received it
late yesterday afternoon and at the
same time Senator Wilson presented
q resolution drawn up by the attorney
general. 1t was passed Immediately,
and also passed the house today.
Congressional action may not help
Minnesota in the Securities case but
the state is not without redress, action
can be taken against the Great North
ern in the state courts in the shape
of quo warranto proceedings looking
to the forfeiture Of the cO1npany's
charter.
