Roads He Builds with
Others Money.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 3.-The South
ern Pacific case was concluded today and
Judge Lurton reserved judgment.
Senator Foraker, continuing his argument
for the complainant, said the suit was not
brought in New York because action could
not be brought against a corporation in
q district where 1t had no residence.
Question of Competition.
Proceeding, he quoted an affidavit by
Traffic Manager Stubbs to show that traffic
could be diverted from the Southern Pa
cihc by the Union Pacific charging its
tariffs, and claimed that that made them
competing lines.
While there we're allegations in the bill,
he continued, which had not been supported
by evidence, there was not one reoklessly
or idly made The defendants had said
they had no intention Of severing the Gen.
tral from the Southern Pacific, yet they
had spent S2O,OOO,O 600 in improving 1t. They
wanted a through transcontinental line
from Chicago to San Francisco. Certain
improvements had been made, but not one
word had been said in court concerning
them. The earnings of the Southern Pa
cihc were being spent on improvements.
One could not help thinking that II the
Union Pacific had no idea now Of acquiring
the Central Pacific, the time might come
when 1t would think Of it. and should It
decide to sever 1t from the Southern Pa
cifc, 1t could be done in i've minutes by
resolution adopted at meeting of the
directors
He contended 1t was not necessary for the
complainants to show that the defendants
were doing wrong, but to show that they
might do 1t in changing tariff rates that
would work detriment to the Southern
Pacific.
He said the important question was re-
straining the Union Pacific from voting the
Southern Pacific stock at the annual meet
ing. He contended that the two roads
we're competitors and that the tendency
was toward Capitalization and monopoly.
Judge Lurton announced that he would
| hle his decision on Monday.
