N. p. ARGUMENT
c. w. Bum Declares Company Only
Followed Numerous Precedent

Followed Numerous Precedent
Mr.. Johnson was followed by C. w.
Bum, who spoke especially for the
Northern Pacific. He commended that
congress had no control of the trans
fer of stock.
Mr.. Bum excused the TRANSMITS
souri, case and contended that the re-
straint imposed in that case was only
upon individuals.
This case must stand he said. if two
roads had been bought by common
owner under state control It could
not be controlled by the state and the
federal governments. There could be
no duality of control.
Justice White interrupted Mr.. Bum
to inquire if he was to understand his
argument to maintain that the draw
ing of articles of consolidation was not
In itself a violation Of the antitrust
law.
THAT is it precisely" answered Mr..
Bum.
Mr.. Bum declared that the impor-
lance of the question could not be
OVerestimated, and continued
THE parallel telegraph lines of the
country stand on the same footing as
parallel railway lines, and it is COM
mon knowledge that nearly all the
telegraph lines of the country have
gradually come into the control of
two companies.
In the same way you have got to
hold that the acquisition of parable.
steamboat lines is a restraint on in
terstate commerce. And so, if a few
individuals owning stock in carrying
corporation should unite into a part
nership, turning the stock in as part
nership assets. you would have the
same unity of. ownership and the
same conspiracy and agreement and
likewise the same power Of control,
that you have in this case, and my
question is whether it is really a sub
iect of federal control or a subject
Of state CONTROL
He contcnded that there had been
no consolidation, but he said that if
there had been, it would not be in re-

New York, Dec. 15.-Smiling and
stepping with a buoyant stride of con-
fldence, Mabel Parker entered Judge
Cowings court to-day prepared to go
on the stand and tell her side of the
incident of the forged check on the
Lincoln National bank.
1T was all darkness at first" she
said, as she took a seat facing the
court and jury, while the district at
torney was unfolding his case against
me-the story Of my confession to De-
tecttve, Sergeant Peabody-but now
that Jim, my husband, has come for
ward in my defense and admitted that
he forged the checks, the aspect of
everything has changed.
Even the gloom of my cell does not
depress me and as I look out of these
great high windows I can breath free
air in anticipation. Had Jim not come
forward voluntarily and confessed he
had forged those checks, never a peep
would have come from me as to the
real truth. But as even my shoulder
ing all blame could not save him, the
truth had to come OUT
