MERGER FILES EXCUSE
BRIEF OF COUNSEL URGES THAT
ATTORNEY GENERALS mac
TIvITY SHOWED HE ACQUI-
ESCED

Washington, Dec. 9.-In his brief
on behalf of the Northern Securities
company, filed yesterday. George b.
Young insists that such a holding as
that of the Union Pacific in the North
ern Pacific was not contrary to the
antitrust law, and 1.-The inaction Of the
attorney general showed that this was
also the opinion Of that high official.
charged with the enforcement of the
antitrust act
Mr.. Young's brief is document of
over 800 pages, and in it he traces
infinitely the origin of the merger. The
movement for this consolidation he
attributes largely to the raid of May,
1901, by hostile interests on Northern
Pacific stocks, which it was consid-
cred most important to prevent, and
says the Union Pacific interests still
held $37, 100000 Of the Northern Pa
citic common stock.
On the question of consultation in
the securities company, Mr.. Young
says: Its ownership of the shares of
Ifthe two railway companies no more
consolidates or pools or merges those
shares, or the two companies, or their
property, than the ownership of two
pieces of real estate by the same per
son consolidates them or the title to
! them
| c. w. Bum, counsel for the North
| ern PACING, argues in his brief tha1
| the action of the two railroad compa-
MES did not come within the anti
trust act. He says:
'"Fhe statute must be interpreted sc
as to fall within the constitutions
powers Of congress. Construed as the
\ circuit court read it, or as the learned
attorney general asks to have it read
the act seems to, us far beyond the
| scope of those powers. 1t Is nothing
less than an overturning Of all settled
rules upon the subject to say that the
power of congress extends to deter
mining in what corporations stock
may be held by citizens of the states
or that it extends to the regulation OF
the consolidation and merger Of rail
way companies chartered by the
states"

ITALY IS MUCH SURPRISED
DID NOT EXPECT GREAT BRIT
AIN TO DESTROY VILLAGE UN-
DER ITALIAN PROTECTORATE.

Rome, Dec. 9.-Italy does not in
tend to cooperate with Great Britain
in the campaign against the Mad Null
1ah, according to the reply of the UNI
der secretary of foreign affairs in. the
chamber of deputies yesterday. An
Interpolation on this subject was occa-
stoned by the news that the British
cruiser Mohawk had landed a detach-
ment of marines at Durbo and set the
village on fire. Durbo, being under
italian protectorate, it is contended
that a British warship would not un-
Hertake beligerent operations there.
The Italian cruiser Lombarda, the
gunboat Volturno and the dispatch
vessel Calico are at Alden and will be
Joined there by the cruiser Christoforo
Colombo, the flagship, and will pro-
coed to Durbo, to inflict punishment on
the Somaliland tribe which, on Sum
day last, killed Lieutenant Commander
Grabau.
Italy's policy is merely to watch the
coast as prescribed by the Brussels
convention to prevent the smuggling
OF arms and the commerce in slaves.

Sans Surprise When the Chickens

eminent American professor met an
old negro servant whose duty it was
to look after the chickens Of the estab.

day before the eclipse took place the
professor in an idle moment called the
old man to him and said:
Sam, tomorrow morning at II
o'clock if you watch your chickens you
will find that they will go to roost."
Sam was skeptical, Of course, but
when at the appointed time next day
the SUI in the heavens was darkened
and the chickens repaired to roost, the
negro's establishment knew no bounds.
He approached the professor in awed
wonder.
