New York. April 81. Pierpont Nor
gan said Until / see the full text of the
decision / should not care to express
an opinion on 1t. This much is GER
tain, however, it will not rest where
it is.
The question of the right of two
or more railroads to be operated by
holding company will be taken tc
the United States Supreme Court al
Washington. Instead of looking upon
the decision of the court to-day as
blow to railroad enterprise. l should
say that the reverse is the case Capt.
tai all over the country is anxious to
know its rights in the matter of rail-
road construction and operation. Rail-
road men want to know where they
stand.
THE decision to-day is just one ster
closer to a decision from the United
States Supreme Court, which shall be
final, for even if the Northern Securi-
ties Company had won to-day, the
governments attorney would probably
have appealed.
THE question was of such import
ance that an appeal was assured, no
matter who won. These facts are
plain. Both railroads held by the
Northern Securities Company still ex-
list and are doing a good business.
When railroad men know exactly
how the law is to be interpreted they
will probably find good ways to see
that properties are operated economi-
cally and probably"
A conference of leading financiers
was held this afternoon in the Office
of ]. P. Morgan & Co., to discuss the
details of the decision and it's bearings
upon railroad properties in the future.
President J. j. Hill of the Northern
Securities Company went to his New
York office this afternoon, where he
was in conference with w. P. Clough,
general counsel and fourth vice presi-
dent of the company. Mr.. Hill made
this statement:
"All that 1 can say at this time is
that the roads of the Northern Securi-
ties Company are showing good earn
ings, the properties are paid for and
they cannot be taken away. The de-
cision, as l understand it, does not dis
turb the ownership of the properties"
EX-Judge William H. Moore, who is
one of the dominant factors in the Rock
Island Company, is quoted as saying:
1.-THE decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case will in no way affect the Rock
Island-Frisco deal. They are not com
peting lines, and the two cases are in
no sense analogous"

directed, and by placing the same
stock in the name of such artificial
being, accomplish the same purpose.
The manifest unreasona bIeness of
such proposition and the grave con-
sequences sure, to follow from it's ap-
proval, compel US to assume that il
must be unsound, especially when we
reflect that the law, as administered
by courts of equity, looks always at
the substance of things, at the object
accomplished, whether it be lawful or
unlawful, rather than upon the par
ticular devices or means by which II
has been accomplished.
The court discusses the question
whether a charter granted by a state
can be used to defeat the will of the
national legislature, and saws it is
clear that the state of New JERSEY did
not intend to grant a charter, under
cover of which a, project denounced bv
Congress as unlawful might be formed
and maintained, because the enabling
act, under which the Securities Com
pany was organized, expressly declares
that three or more persons may avail
themselves of the provisions of the
act and become corporation for any
lawful purpose" The words in ques-
ton operate, says the court, as a
ed in the articles of associate which
we're fled by the promoters of the
Securities Company, so that however
extensive and comprehensive these
powers may seem to be. the state Of
New Jersey has said You shall not
exercise them so as to set at defiance
any statute lawfully enacted by the
Congress of the United States or any
statute lawfully enacted by any state
wherein you see fit to exercise your
powers"

at is urged, however. that such a
combination of adverse interests as
was formed, was lawful and not pro-
hibited by the antitrust act, because
such restraint upon interstate trade or
commerce, if any, as it imposes, is
indirect, collateral and remote, and
hence that the combination is not one
of that character, which the Congress
of the United States can lawfully for

1T is manifest, therefore, that the

The reasoning which led TO the acqui-

have been that while as individuals
