CONCLUSIONS OF COURT.

Circuit Judge Thayer stated the con-
illusions of the court. He recitcs the
petition which was brought under tn.
antitrust act OF 1890 and adds that
under the act OF Feb. II. 1903, this case.
heing Of general public importance
had been given precedence over others
and in every way expedited II is de-
clared that under the admissions OF the
defendants the matters of fact are that
the roads We're parallel and competing
lines, that they had jointly secured con.
troll of the Burlington. that In 1901 a
holding company had been formed br
large owners Of the stock OF the North.
ern Pacific and Great Northern rail.
"ays by which new company large
stock interests had been acquired at
al agreed price and the court holds
that 1.-THE scheme which was thus de-
VII od and consummated led inevitab
TO the following results:
First, 1t placed the control OF the
two roads In the hands OF single per-
sons. to wit. the Securities company. by
virtue Of its ownership Of large ma
jority Of the stock Of both companies.
second II destroyed every motive for
competition between two roads engag-
cd in Interstate traffic which were
natural competitors for business. by
pooling the earnings OF the two roads
for the common benefit OF the stock
holders OF both companies; and. ac
cording to the familiar rule that every
one Is presumed 10 intend what Is o.
necessary consequence Of HIS own acts.
when done wlnully and deliberately.
we must conclude that those who con-
served and executed the plan aforesaid
intended among other things, 10 accom-
nllsh these objects"
