HAVING HARD SHEDDING
NOT ALL JOY IN BUCKET SHOPS
minneapolis Grain Men Prepare to
Cooperate in BOttling Up
Quotations

Inc bucket shops are having a hard time OF
1t these days, and will soon be having
harder time. The recent announcement of
President John Washburn that the Mime
apolis Chamber of Commerce is out to fight
them to the death, has been received with
great interest everywhere. 1t has long been
fight between the Chicago Board of Trade
and the bucket shops. The announcement
that the Minneapolis chamber would throw
its strength against them was the final blow
and it is hard to see how they can stand
Secretary G. D. Rogers says the chamber is
not prepared to say what the next move
will be, but that there need be no doubt that
1t will be a vigorous one. Since the Mime
apolis chamber got after them it is inter-
sentiment. The latest is the move of the
Milwaukee men.
Heading Off Quotations.
w. ]. Langson, secretary Of the Milwaukee
chamber recently notified the managers of the
telegraph companies that the quotation com
mittee desired a list of all firm TO whom the
continuous Milwaukee quotations were being
given contract. The Postal Telegraph
company and the Chicago and Milwaukee
company have complied. The Western Union
has not done so as yet. but it is the belief
OF the Milwaukee chamber directors that it
will also comply. The notice Of Secretary
Langson is not only a request to furnish the
list, but has a postscript that no new con-
tracts for furnishing the Milwaukee quota
lions can hereafter be made by the telegraph
companies with first obtaining permission
from the quotation committee. The Milwau
kee quotations are SO close to the Chicago
figures that where a bucket shopkeeper is
prevented from receiving the Chicago figures
AS many in the northwest have been pre-
vented by the efforts Of the Minneapolis
chamber-they can struggle along with the
Milwaukee figures The action Of the Mil
waukee chamber is therefore great help
in the local fight.

This statute is part of the general law Of
the state authorizing the formation OF rail-
road corporations, and is obligation or
limitation which enters into and forms part
OF the stockholders contract with the state,
and is, therefore, binding upon the Northern
Securities company. This company cannot
complain Of an enforcement of this contract
obligation, or the state statutes, because it
claims to be a stakeholder in these railroad
companies. The Northern Securities -compa-
ny, as declared by its articles of incOrpOra-
ton, was organized to purchase the stock of
railway companies in the state of New Jer-
sey or any other state in the union and to
vote the same. From this it follows that
any stock of railway company acquired by
1t outside Of the state of New Jersey is sub
Jeot to all obligations or limitations imposed
upon such stock as well as the corporation
issuing it.
Case Summarized.
The situation can thus be summarized:
Inc holders OF large majority of the capital
STOCK or two railroad corporations authorized
TO construct and maintain lines within the
limits Of the state of Minnesota have organ
ICED corporation in another state for the
express purpose of consolidating the railway
lines and property of such companies and
eyading and violating one of the laws OF the
state OF Minnesota, which bears directly upon
and gives the state and it's citizens certain
rights and privileges in connection with the
property owned and controlled by the rail-
roads thus sought to be consolidated, ..i
Ihe only way In which the state can reach
such an evasion Of its laws and enforce it's
rights IS to bring an action in this court
against the instrument or means by which
sucn consolidation is sought to be accom-
pllsnea. II the state of Minnesota cannot
avail itself Of the original Jurisdiction Of this
court to enforce it's right it cannot go into
the state of New Jersey and ask the courts
OF that state to enforce its rights, because
Tue same reasons urged against the jurisdic-
force before the courts Of New Jersey
Inc Dill discloses that this consolidation
embraces about 1900 miles of railroad, fur
nlshlng nearly all the transportation facilities
aValiaole to the people Of seven different
STATES on the union, which seven states en-
brace more than one-fifth of the ent;ra aroo
OF the United States and nearly one-twelfth
OF It's population.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-27

The stockholders OF corporation, as we'll
as the corporation itself, can perform no acts
and make no contracts, either within or with
out the state, creating such corporation, eX-
cept such as are authorized by its charter,
or some general law OF the state relating to
it. It follows, as a necessary corollary, that
a corporation, as we'll as Its stockholders,
can perform act, or make any contract or
agreement, which violates a remedial statute
OF state creating such corporation.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-01-27

to enforce anything contrary to the declared
public policy of New Jersey or of the national
government. The declared public policy of
New Jersey and the United States is against
the consolidation and uniication of Compel
ing lines of railway, and the removal of COM
petition in freight and passenger rates. This
policy is declared in the so-called ''anti-trust
law of the United States, which has been
before this court on several occasions.
The right to maintain cause of action
created by statute or which arises by reason
of the violation OF a statute other than a
strictly penal law. has been recognized by this
court. The contract obligation to obey the
laws Of the state Of Minnesota rests primar-
lily upon the stockholders Of the corporation.
1t Is one of the conditions which the state
demands Of the persons about to form cor
poration. 1t In effect says to them, 'lf you
will obey the laws of the state relating to
the corporation you wish to form, the state
will permit you to organize as corporation
AS held by this court, the franchise OF be-
ing corporation belongs to the stockholders
It logically follows that the obligation to
obey the law is imposed In the first IN
stance, and forever after remains upon the
stockholders OF the corporation.
Must Not Violate Minnesota Law.
" The stock of the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific Railway companies, the ute 10
which Is placed in tho Northern Securities
company In the manner and for the purposes
in the BILL must be deemed to De held by
the last-named company as though located
in and subject to all the laws OF the state OF
Minnesota; and every power sought 10 De
exercised by it by virtue Of such stockhold-
ing must be In harmony with and not in vlo-
lation Of the laws of the state OF Minnesota.

The for-all trot had only five
starters, Mr. LOOMS, the driver OF Lady
Constantine, refused to start on account
of the weather. lambert, of course, was
favorite In the first heat the horses got
away we'll, lambert and Rosebud making
a pretty race down the stretch, nose and
nose; but just before they got to the wire
lambert gracefully and ma estically
drew away length to the good. Rose
bud second; Blackfeld, third. The second
heat was not just the order of the day.
Blackfield was to have his inning, winning
easily in 1:11%. The third heat was
somewhat similar to the second, only
that lambert was clearly out-trotted
from wire to wire, and could not 40 any
better than a poor second, with Rosebud
and Bedford Girl on his wheel. In this
heat Mr.. Watson said he was fouied by
the driver of lambert, being forced to
take back Or run the risk OF being
crowded into the snow bank and turned
over. Conflicting reports were given
about the drive, and the judges gave
lambert the benefit of the doubt and the
heat. In all the races Of last season and
this. I'D to date, this is the first complaint
of any unfairness. Summary: Gun

sorrow and gloom here as
that OF little Maddox Phil
lips, who died at his paren' s
home Wednesday morning
about : O'Clock.
On July 4th. the little fell
low was stricken with dipthe-
ria, and since then he has
been making a heroic strug-
gle for life. His bereaved
parents have watched by his
side all these long days and
nights and had begun to
hope their darling would be
spared to them. Tuesday
he became worse, and il was
evident the end was near.
The nature OF the disease
makes this death peculiarly
sad.
Devoted friends could not
go To the relief OF the stricken
family, and even in the sad
hour OF death they are prac-
tically alone. Wednesday
morning at . O'Clock the lit
tie body was taken quietly
to Cedar Grove Cemetery for
interment, and was followed
only by the physicians. mini
sters, and a lew others be
sides the heart broken par
entS.
Maddox was a sweet, win
some little fellow, his pre-
seriousness marking him
'mOng Ms splaymates. Young
and Old loved INN Tor hls
beautiful manners and his
sweet disposition.
