SECURITIES COMPANY'S
POSITION DEFENDED
Raid by Hostile Interests Responsible
for Consolidation, Says Mr. Young.

In the Supreme Court yesterday briefs
in behalf of the Northern Securities
Company and the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company. in the case Of the United
States versus both companies, were filed
with the clerk
George b. Young is the author of the
Securities Company's brief. and the
Northern Pacific paper is by c. W.
Bum. The document by Mr.. Young
contains more than 300 pages. and the
origin Of the merger is infinitely traced.
The raid of May 1901, by hostile in
terests on Northern Pacific stock, is at
tributed as the cause Of the move
ment for consolidation.
In one paragraph Mr. Young says:
Union Pacific interests still held S37,-
600 900 of the Northern Pacific common
stock. Between one and two millions
were not held by either OF the parties
The loss OF three millions from the ma
jority holdings might occur from va
rious causes. and the attack just de-
feated might be renewed with success
by the same or other assailants."
