POST OFFICE SCANDAL IS
DEVELOPING NEW PHASES DAILY

ant Wynne and Fourth Assistant Br1s-
tow, the two men who have been push
ing the investigation so vigorously, the
postmaster general issued a formal
statement which has great signif-
canoe. He assumes entire RESPONSE
bility for the investigation and the
guilty men in the department have
been startled at the open declaration
from Mr.. Payne that political expedi-
ency would shield no one. In the
course Of his statement, Postmaster
General Payne said:
During the months Of January and
February information and reports
reached me which ] deemed 1t for the
public interest to investigate, and L
personally gathered such information,
and facts as would enable the proper,
officers of the department to under
take a thorough investigation as to
the truth or falsity of these reports.
81 directed Fourth Assistant Post
master General Bristow to take the.
proper steps to institute the necessary
inquiry, using for that purpose the
~postofice inspectors of the division
and such other methods as would
thoroughly ascertain the truth or fal-
sity of the charges or insinuations
made, and he was instructed to pro-
coed promptly and with vigor during
my absence. .
'Since my return this morning !
have not seer General Bristow, so that
| am not advised of the progress
made. The investigation will con-
tinue. and II any wrongdoing is dis
closed the parties guilty OF sucn
w~rongdoing will be summarily dealt
with. If the system or method OF DO
ing business in the department is
faulty. proper remedies will be ap
piled without fear or favor.
81 inaugurated the investigation
with the determination that it should
be exhaustive. 1t is proper for me
to add that l laid before the president

possession and that he fully approx

INNER Heavy Selling Orders Prices
Prices Touched Lowest
Mark for Months
LOSS REACHES MILLIONS
Break In Northern Securities Caused
Slight Furry and Other Stocks
Declined Rapidly

New York, April 16.-The full force
on the stock market of the decision in
favor of the government, handed
down in the Northern Securities case
last Thursday afternoon, was felt
Monday. Under a volume Of selling
orders prices touched the lowest fig
ure they have seer in a great many
months. In the Broad street curb
market the shares of the Northern Sc
curities company broke more than 8
points, at one time late in the after
loon selling as low as "a, after open
ing at 103&. The high record for the
shares is 11SA; which was reached
last September.
The break in the Northern Securi-
ties helped unsettle the stock market
in general and by afternoon the mar
ket had declined greatly in many Sec
tons with the weakest features the
shares of those companies that Wall
street construed to be most directly
affected by the decision. These in.
cluded the shares of the anthracite
coal roads and those Of the various
roads in the Gould system.
There was very heavy selling OF
Baltimore & Ohio and Reading shares,
the former at the close showing a loss
for the day of Az points and the lat
ter a loss of 5A. The selling OF
these stocks was accompanied by
much adverse talk about the Pennsyl
vania railroads ownership of Balti
more & Ohio and Reading shares II

In the Gould group, Missouri Pacific

THE NEW JERSEY LAW

st. Paul, (Special.)-The United
States circuit court of appeals today
handed down a decision in the suit
of the United States against the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railway companies, but allowing the
return of such stock as had been de-
livered to the holding company. The
opinion is unanimous and in effect
says that the Securities Company ac-
quired the stock of Northern Pacific
and Great Northern in virtue of a
combination among the defendants in
restraint of trade and commerce
among the several states such as the
antitrust act %denounces as illegal.
The opinion declares that under the
admissions of the defendants, the Sc
curities Company acquired control of
the Burlington, Northern Pacific, and
Great Northern interests, parallel and
completing lines, and holds that the
scheme thus consummated led newt
ably to the following results: Control
Of the two roads in the hands of a
single person; destroyed every motive
for competition between those two
roads engaged in interstate trafhc
which were natural competitors fol
business, by pooling the earnings OF
the two roads for the common benefit
of the stockholders of both companies
and According to the familiar
