SAYS MERGER is LEGAL
Judge Lochren Decides Against State
in Securities Case.
Declares the Company Is Hot VIoiat-
ing State Law.
Is Not Railroad Corporation But an
Investing Concern.
Decision Announced After Close oil
Stock Market Today.
Especial to The Free Press.l

st. Paul, Aug. Judge Lochren in
the United States court today held that
the Northern Securities merger is legal
and can be maintained.
The ruling is made in the case of the
State of Minnesota against the merger
and the court holds that the Northern
Securities company is not guilty of
violating the state act prohibiting the
consolidation of parallel and competing
lines because it is not railroad COM
pany, but merely an investing company.
The decision was announced after the
close of the stock market today1
1t is the opinion of attorneys that the
decision cannot affect the situation, rs
the federal court has already decided the
matter, and the case in which the United
States was involved has already been
appealed to the United States supreme
court. The decision of Judge Lochren
determines the validity of the state law

WAR AGAINST TRACHOMA.
Or. Lederle Says Health Board

trachOma among school children this fall does not
to be shared by the Board OF Health While
DR.. Lederle. president Of the board. Is unwilling
to make emphatic denial of DR.. Testers gloomy
predictions until the fall report is made public, he
expresses himself confident that the dreaded
eye disease will be under better control this winter
than ever before. Another new hospital is to be
opened. and the fight will be carried by the
board with increased vigor.
Up to the present time Gouverneur Hospital has
been the only public institution where the ira
choma patients could be treated free. In this
place 200 patients were treated, daily by four
physicians, for operating and two for applying
anesthetics. They were assisted by two nurses
With the opening Of the hospital at One-hun-
Observation-Disclosures. and Pleasant-ave-. the
Board Of Health will have facilities for treating
$50 to 800 more patients day.
The result Of the boards work last season indi-
Gated that about 10 per cent OF Manhattan school
children were affected by trachOma- There seems
to be no reason for the increase to over 80 per
cent predicted by DR.. Lester. I'm fact" said DR..

been treated. and get our new system In run

to open five hospitals. -
There is a popular delusion." he continued, TO
the effect that this epidemic broke out suddenly
and is becoming terrible scourge, and some people
have blamed the board for spreading the idea IL
is not SO. however, nor have we made any state
ments to give foundation to the idea This disease
spread unchecked and comparatively unnoticed
until we began the fight a year ago. 1t was the
gradual growth of years. We are now sunerinS
from the neglect Of those days But We are get
