THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC CASE.
keene Interests Refused the Injunction
Asked for and Securities Drop.

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 6.-Judge
Lurton, this afternoon, refused the in
junction asked for by the Keene in
terests to restrain the Hartman inter-
ests from voting the Union Pacific
holdings at the Southern Pacific Cos
election, next Wednesday.
Edward Lauterbach, counsel for
Taylor & Co., in the Southern Pacific
injunction proceedings, said, today
that he had been informed that the
decision not to make the injunction
permanent was based upon a techni-
cality, Judge Lurton holding that the
Union Pacific was an indispensable
party in the case and would have to be
represented in court before an injunc-
ton could be granted against it.
He explained that the rulings in the
Northern Securities case had deter
mined that actions against a stock
holder Gin this case the Union Pacific)
could be brought on in the legal habi-
tation of the company in which the
stakeholder has a membership. So the
case was not brought against the Union
Pacific, but against the Southern Pa
cific as the representative of all it's
stockholders.
