DIVIDENDS HELD UP
Request to Modify Decree in
Merger Case. Argument
to be Heard.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Paul April 17.-Circuit Judge San
born today set Monday morning, April
goth as a time for hearing arguments on
request by attorneys for the Northern
Securities Company that the decree re-
Gently handed down be suspended in 50
far as it prevented the payment by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railways of dividends to the Northern
Securities Company; these dividends were
ultimately to reach the same people any
way. District Attorney c. G. Caupt, ap-
peared to oppose any motion for a modi-
fication of the decree. The attorneys for
the railroads explained that the regular
dividend day had nearly arrived, but that
under the decree it was impossible for
either railway company to close its books
and pay any dividends, matter affecting
something like 1000 individuals, many OF
them dependent on these dividends for
the necessities of life. No modification
of the decree was asked, all such mat
ters being left for the formal appeal
which was sure to come in the course of
time. Judge Sanborn preferred that the
whole matter be left over until all our
circuit judges could hear 1t, whichf would
be on May 4th, but owing to the urgency
desired finally agreed to hear and decide
as 20 the required suspension on next
Monday morning.

Cannot be Modified.

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, April 17.-Referring to
the application at st. Paul today in be-
half of the Northern Securities Company,
the Department of Justice has made pub
lie the following instructions fthe At
torney General sent to the United States
attorney at ST. Paul on the 14th instant
"It is likely the defendants in the
Northern Securities case will forthwith
and possibly without notice appeal to
the Circuit COURT, or judge thereof, for
modification OF decree pending appeal, or
for order making appeal operate as
supersedeas. You are directed to watch
this matter closely, and earnestly op-
pose any such application on ground that
no other case of equity jurisdiction be-
tween private parties, but special and
enlarged statutory remedy in equity to
enjoin violation OF penal law. The
decree finds defendants guilty of violating
the declared public policy of the nation.
For that reason the government opposes
any suspension or modification of judg-
ment of the court. The modification pro-
posed would in effect be an indulgence TO
continue to violate a law of the United
States. The principle relief granted by
this decree is the injunction; to suspend
it would produce the same effect as a
certificate of division in the Circuit
court and deprive the decree of its force
and meaning"

SOMETHING OF BROADNAx.
Highly Intelligent, Apparently Upright, He
Surprised Those Who Knew Him Best
Especial to News and Observer.l

Greensboro, N. c., April IA gentle
man here, who attended court at Went
worth this week, which was a special
term for the trial of John Broadnax, tho
negro who brutally murdered Mr.. Sidney
Blair, and attempted to kill his niece,
says he was surprised to recognize in
the prisoner, a servant who worked for
him in Greensboro last summer Speak
ing of the negro he said he was one
of the best and most intelligent negroes
who had ever served him, of the
'new ISSUE" and the last one in the
such a diabolical crime.
During the trial, the negro evinced no
excitement, seeming thoroughly to ao-
preciate his position and reconciled to
his fate, not feature of his face relax
ing, even when sentence of death was
passed upon him.
Solicitor Porter Graves, who prosecuted
the case was here yesterday, returning
home. He said that had the culprit
been an ignorant, illiterate brute he
would have felt some embarrassment in
prosecuting to the death sentence, it being
his first experience in such a case. AS
it was, the criminal not only thoroughly
but also it's penalty, and that the whole
case showed that the negro was un-
usually quick and smart, and committed
the crime, after careful planning, simply
to obtain money without work. His
identity would never have been discover
ed had he succeeded in killing the young
lady, for the dwelling was nearly a
mile from any other, and no one would
hn -bo hn
unusually good reputation.
The people of Rockingham poured into
Wentworth Monday, seeming to expect
the whole matter would be concluded in
a day. OF course that was impossible
as the grand jury had to find true bill,
and a special venire to be summoned,
sible day for the trial. The intervening
time of tie court was devoted to trying
Jail cases. Fully two thousand people
went home disappointed Monday night
On Wednesday night, after delivering
his charge to the jury, Judge Long, said
they could retire and get good nights
sleep and deliberate over the case, and
bring their verdict in next morning. But
the jury, as if to show that the speediest
disposition of Broadnax was the best, re-
turned a verdict of guilty in half an
hour.
There was really nothing else for them
to do, except for the sake of appearances,
as the defendant did not seem disposed
to aid the counsel assigned him, in the
defense.
When he worked in Greensboro last
summer he went under the name of John
Cole, leaving here for his old neighbor-
hood, the scene of the crime.
