Office, in the Austin building, who took
Pencils dictation for his last state
ment. Pencil in his statement ex-
plains his connection with the Burdicks,
and the murder case. He intended to
submit the matter to Mrs. Burdick be-
fore making it pnblic. The widow Of
the murdered man never saw the state
ment because Pencil was killed before
chance TO show it to her occurred.
Witness number Two is witness to the
will of Pennell. The officials refused to
diyulge his name, and it is said he
stands for his own innocence in the
murder case. Wallace Thayer, Pen.
nelPs former attorney, is in possession
of secret statement given out by Pen
nell.

eloquent language on the necessity ofincreased
activity and interest in the great work they

clusiOn of the address a collection, which
amounted to $50, was taken up to carry on

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 10. 1908.

TUE limited STATES Court in st.
Paul. Mimi, yesterday struck singing
blow to "mergers" when it decided
oco;nst the Northern Securities Com
pany, and adiudged that the combination
of the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern is illegal because it is a restraint OF
trade and enjOined the former from exer-
cising any control over the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Railroad
companies. The decision is the most
sweeping one ever aimed at comblna-
tons or trusts and is the most important
result yet obtained by the Attorney Gen
eral in the prosecution of the trusts and
the first fruit of the antitrust Legislation
secured at the last session OF Congress
The Northern Securities Company was
formed to merge the Northern Pacihc
and Great Northern Railroad Companies
and in pursuance of the scheme 1t ac-
quired a large majority of the stock OF
both corporations. The result, the Court
saws, was inevitable:
It DESTROYED every motive for competl-
ton between two roads engaged III inter
state traffic, which were natural compeu-
tors for business, by pooling the earnings
of the two roads for the common beneht
of the stockholders of both companies,
and we must conclude that those who
conceived and executed the plan intended
to accomplish these objects.
The decision is good law and good
sense. but its effectiveness cannot be Sc
confidently affirmed. No way has yet
been found to prevent one set ofpersons
from buying a majority of the stock OF
both roads, and in the present day OF
huge operations Of capitol the mere size
of this transaction would not be serious
obstacle in its way. 1t has been found
almost impossible to compel competition.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has complained that the decisions OF the
Supreme Court in traffic agreement cases
had been evaded by community OF in
terests," or common ownership. But
the decision is sound, and means may be
found ofmaking it effective. Anyway it
offers encouragement to the people, and
may induce among the men who control
great corporations more cautions regard
for the rights of those who support them

THE FIRST jim-crow steamer to begin
regular trips from New York was the
Monroe. of the Old Dominion line,
which left that port yesterday for Nor
folk. She is the newest and finest addi-
ton TO the Old Dominion's fleet. The
Monroe is called jim-crOw steamer be-
cause she contains separate quarters,
both in the saloon and the steerage, for
white and colored passengers. She is
the first steamship designed with spec
ial regard to the color line, and the
company has tried, but in vain, to work
out a problem with which it has had to
contend for many years in way that 1t
hopes will be satisfactory to everybody.
There is little difference between the
quarters of the colored steerage passen-
gers, and those of the white steerage pas
sengers, and what there's in favor of the
former. Every convenience accorded
the whites is at the disposal of the color
ed people. A dispatch from New York
announcing the sailing of the Monroe
says there were no colored passengers on
this trip but abundant provision has
been made for them. This was unneces-

PROFESSOR GRAHAM SUMNER, who
occupies the chair of political and social
science at Yale, in an address on "War
and its effects on civilization" yester-
day hit out right and left at President
Roosevelfs militancy and the Monroe
doctrine. "This country by its unique
position geographically is absolutely free
from any danger of sudden attack, SAID
he, "and yet we have been unable to
keep free from the growing spirit OF
militancy. Our danger lies in doctrines.
A doctrine is indefnable. Therein lies
its power. 1t may have one meaning
TODAY, and another tomorrow. Our
chief danger in this direction IS the
Monroe doctrine Our President has
made a great deal of talk about the
Monroe doctrine and says a larger navy
is necessary 70 defend it but he finds it
hard to give the reasons. We are asked
to help build a navy to support doctrine
that even the President, himself, cannot
definitely explain" Theprofessor could
have added that for the United States to
undertake to maintain the Monroe doc
trine on this hemisphere and at the same
time 90 over to the other and hold a
people in subiugation against their will
is such a glaring inconsistency that it
places this country in dangerous opposi-
ton to all the other nations on the
globe. Discussing present world affairs,
Professor Sumner said: "There are a
lotof Aabby sentimentalists today preach
ing universal peace. There is no such
thing as universal peace. 1t exists only
in the imaginations of theorists. This
very day there is hardlya man in Europe
who is not. practically speaking, contin-
ualIy under arms. Does this look like
universal peace? Does it not rather
look like the forerunner of reign OF
carnage and awful slaughter" All of
which is absolutely true and it does not
require a professor of political or social
science to portend the inevitable result.
