Judge sanborn suspends Por-
ton of the Decree In the
Securities Case
PERMITS PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS
Railroads Will Turn Over Profits to
Che Securities Company the Same as
Heretofore, Pending Decision on the
Appeal to the United States Supreme
Court.

St. Paul, April 20.-Before United
States Circuit Judge Sanborn, today,
appeared the attorneys for the North
ern Securities Company and Northern
Pacific and Great Northern railway
companies, to present their request that
the recent decree be SO far suspended as
to permit the payment of the railroads
OF the regular May dividends to the Sc
curities company. On all other points
sOf the decree, no modification was
asked.
District Attorney Haupt appeared for
the government and opened the argu-
ment against the petition. Under the
provisions Of the act for expediting
such matters he thought the action
was not one which could properly. even
In part. be set aside. The government
had sought to prevent a violation of
law and that was what the decree en-
Joined. The defendants were, he main.
tained, asking the court to nullify the
decree to permit violation Of the law.
The decree was In accordance with
public policy and really enjoined a
nuisance. He cited cases to sustain
the convention that such a suspension
was not permissible. The petition he
said, was in reality request to sus
pend statute and not to suspend a
decree. Counsel for the Northern Se-s
curities Company and the railroads
contended the fact OF an appeal to a
higher court was OF itself a form of
suspension Of q decree and maintained
that the requested payment OF divi-
dends would not in any way affect the
general terms OF the decree. The sus.
pension OF the small part Of the decree
would not be violation OF the law to-
prevent restraint Of trade.
The Injunction was being obeyed and
would be just as effective whether div
16efid paying be permitted or not.
The petition as prayed for by the
Securities Company and railroads was
granted, Judge Sanborn announcing
his decision at noon
In granting the petition the court
says the United States has no pecuni-
ary interest in the dividends and that
I the dividends will ultimately go to the
stockholders OF the Securities Com
pany, whether bid as they are or earned
after the final decision. The appeal in
The Securities case, the court says. will
probably be determined b. the supreme
court about November next, during
which time the United States will have
complete remedy for any violation Of
the antitrust act and that today's de-
cision does not affect any other portion
OF the decree.

POPE SURE OF KINGS VISIT.

Fail to Meet Pontiff,

Rome, April 2O.-Whether or not King
Edward will visit the pope continues to
be profound mystery. No official COM
munication on the matter has been re-
ceived. but the vatican is CT the opinion
that King Edward can not fail to meet
the pontiH, If for state reasons alone, as
his majestys announced visit to Ireland
soon will take place. and, should he
slight the head of the Roman Catholic
church, he certainly would arouse the
resentment of the 100000 Catholics In

cal reason, especially as the feeling in
England toward Catholics is now very
moderate.

professional baseball. He will not join

Mrs. John Kothmer was horribly

Mrs. j. K. Morgan. who lives in the

bed clothing about her body in an en-

everything possible done to alleviate
her sufferings.
There are deep burns over her entire
body as well as her legs and arms The
result of her burns cannot at present
be determined, though the physician
states that there is no internal injury
and she will probably recover.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.

OF course all of us have known 1t
all the time, but this is what an Eng.
lish %nobleman, who has just returned
from a visit in this country, says of
the American girl:
The American woman is the most
glorious production of the American
civilization. No means are spared to
perfect the American girls education,
no money lacking TO purchase suitable
adornment for her person. Is 1t to
be wondered at when she comes over
here and takes her place like one of
the manor born among the fairest
flowers of our old a~ristocracy?
ut Is not necessary for an Ameri.
can woman to marry a title to be re-
ceived among the a%ristocracy abroad.
Her grace, her charm, her independ-
ence, her perfect poise and assurance
will open any door to her, and I think
that she is beginning to realize this.
A duke or a prince may be proud to
have an American girl for his wife,
but it were better could he feel always
that he had won her because he was a
man and she loved him than because
he was a nobleman."

has been less communication between
that territory and this city than there
should be. This is partly due to the
close rail communication maintained
with Kansas City, to which point Kew
Mexico people have long looked as
their market. An effort should be
made to establish a bond Of union be-
tween New Mexico and Colorado as
members of the Rocky Mountain group

AS SOLDIERS DIE.

To every man or woman who ad-
mires bravery without the spectacular
of bravado, there comes acros thou
sands of miles of land and water, the
story of the heroic death Of a little
band of British soldiers in Somaliland.
It brings with it a thrill that the dis
lance does not lessen or lack of per-
sonal interest decrease.
1t is a comparatively simple recital,
says the Fort Worth Telegram. There
were about 200 British soldiers march.
ing across the burning sands hunting
for missing comrades. Suddenly they
were surrounded by a horde of howl.
ing savages. The soldiers were of the
regular Tommy Atkins" type. taught
| to drill, to fight, and to die. The
thought of running away did not occur
to them. They formed a square and
faced the enemy.
1t was 10000 savages to 200 brave
/ men. I1uLuTtuS Vi tHc OOludllo ltlIi
but gradually the officers and then the
men of the British force were slaugh.
tered and but a bare handful of dan
%gerously wounded survivors reached
safety,
use are the only details the ms
patches tell. 1t is not a graphic story
and it lacks altogether of the pictur-
esque. 1t is just the story of how
brave soldiers can die. But II its les
son comes home to the men who are
discouraged, to the men who would
like to give up, to those who do not
have in them the force of character
that makes men fight to the last ditch,
the story will have made the world
better and will not have been wholly
in vain.

PROFITS OF POLICY.

When AL Adams, the New York lot.
terry king. was arrested his books
showed that the business of his con-
Germ amounted to about $4,000, 900 a
year in a certain area on the west side
of Manhattan island, which was exclu.
sively his territory under the divis-
ion of the policy game agreed upon by
the policy association and the authori-
ties. His business in the whole of the
greater city is estimated at about 49,
too, 900 a year.
OF this prodigious sum one-third
went to writers" for salary, light,
heat, ETC.; one-third for expenses of
administration, which included pay
ments to the police. and one-third went
to Adams for profits and for the pay
ment of prizes. The amounts paid in
prizes are calculated to have been
from $500, 900 to $4OO, 900 a year, leav-

PROSPEROUS NEW MEXICO.

Much is expected in New Mexico
from various projects to reclaim arid
land by utilizing underground water
which is believed to exist in several
localities where large tracts now bar.
rem could be made fertile.
With an almost perfect climate and
great in coal, iron and the
precious metals New Mexico could sus-
tain a large population If it had sufi-
cient water to irrigate the thousands
of acres that are now barren. Whether
the enterprises in question will uc-
coed is a problem to be solved, it is
said, in the near future. II has often
been discussed, but lack of capital and
organization has prevented the requis.
tie tests.
The recent construction of the Rock
Island extension across the southeast
ern part Of the territory has opened VI
a section that a few years ago was
almost entirely isolated, and the Santa
Fe Central now under construction
will contribute still further to the
same end. When that quarter of New
Mexico is brought fully in touch with
the outside world the whole territory
will be stimulated by its development
Colorado as a state and Denver as q
city are both deeply interested in New
Mexico's prosperity and growth. 1t
would be a great help to this state II

and prosperous community, says the

settlers by the development of its re
