NEW YORK, June 30--The district
attorneys Office has established some
thing OF record for speedy action
In the case Of William Spencer, the
negro who shot and killed In cold
blood Charles S. McFarlane. the su-
perintendent OF the anttpolicy 80
ciety In the corridor OF the criminal
court building Spencer was placed
on trial today, after scarcely two
weeks had elapsed since the commits
sion Of his crime. II has been long
time since popular Indignation has
been aroused to such pitch against
a murderer in the metropolis as has
been In the case OF Spencer. and this
feeling has prompted the prosecution
TO rush the case through as speedily
as may be done without giving ex.
cuse for the cry of "railroading" the
negro to the electric chair.
Spencer was a lieutenant of "Al"
Adams. the dethroned policy king,

end Of the present week the negro
will be occupying cell In Sing Sing

IOWA IDEA DORMANT.
Governor cummins Will be Re-Nom-
mated by Acclamation.

DES MONIES, Ia, June 30.-Har
mony is 10 be the supreme watchword
| OF the republican state convention,
(which meets here tomorrow to name
candidates for the state offices to be
filled at the fall election and to frame
"a platform on which TO conduct the
campaign. The controversy over the
Iowa idea so-called, which some
time ago threatened to make things
lively at the convention, has been ef-
|fectually smothered and opinions
vouched safe by prominent party lead
|ers and delegates already on the field
make it apparent that the convention
will be harmonious affair.
Governor Cummins will be renomi-
mated by reclamation and the indorse-
ment Of President RooseveIt's admin
istration and the recommendation for
his denomination by the national con
vention are likewise assured 1t may
be matter of some difficulty to draw
up resolutions that will satisfy both
parties that have been contending
over the Iowa idea,' but the task
has been entrusted to Senator Allison.
and there is a feeling that he will be
able to smooth away all obstacles.
|Governor Cummins will not stand for
any action that would make it appear
that he had recanted in his tariff
views, and if necessary he will make
his attitude plain in his speech of
acceptance. To avoid giving umbrage
to the governor and the faction of
which he is the leader, it will doubt
less be found expedient to keep in
the middle of the road in regard to
the tariff resolution and steer clear
|of any utterance that will give either
side to the contention cause for COM
plant.
Following out this program, revis-
ion Of the tariff when necessary will
be urged, but this will be accompanied
by the declaration that when the coun-
TRY is about entering upon presiden-
tial campaign is not an opportune time
for considering tariff legislation.
With the platform practically agreed
upon and with little to interest in the
ticket-practically all of the incum-
bents are to be favored with renomina-
tion-the delegates here today are
taking advantage of the opportunity to
discuss next years politics. The ques.
tions arising over the selection of the
delegation to the national convention
are receiving attention. 1t is well
known that Ernest E. Hart of Council
Bluffs wants to be national commit.
teeman from Iowa for another term
There Is likelihood, too, that he will
meet with serious opposition. Cover.
nor Cummins is considered now as
likely to head the Iowa delegation and
his friends say they have no doubt
whatever of being able to control the
delegation by an ample majority.

FATE OF SURPLUS
Question as to Surplus Of Northern
Securities Company il Case
Company Is Illegal,
Wall Street Journals >Constructiol
. Of the O. S. Z. Indenture
Bearing on Case.

Questions as to what will become Of the
Northern Securities company's surplus In
case the company Is declared illegal are
answered by the Wall Street Journal
which prints article Z of the trust inden-
ture between the Oregon Short Line and
the Equitable Trust company, to secure
the issue Of the Oregon Short Line bonds
and CONSTITUTES 1t to mean:
THAT in case distribution Of the as
sets of Northern Securities should be
necessary the Equitable Trust company
will receive for the Northern Securities
stock now underlying the Oregon Short
Line bonds as collateral exactly what the
other stockholders of Northern Securi-s
ties will get in exchange for their stock,
and this share Of the assets of the North
ern Securities received by the Equitable
Trust company will become the collateral
of the Oregon Short Line bonds instead OF
the stock now deposited.
Oregon Short Line bonds are secured
on Northern Securities stock dollar for
dollar. The stock was received In ex-
change for Northern Pacific in the ratio
of 115 in Northern Securities for 100 in
Northern Pacific:
While these facts and this article Of
the indenture satisfactorily establish the
fact that no exchange Of Oregon, Short
Line bonds is necessary or likely In case
the decision goes against Northern Sc.
| curities they do not show exactly what
collatera will underlie the Oregon bonds
| in such a contingency.
1.-THE reason of this is that 1t is by no
| means certain what method of exchange
would be adopted by the Northern Sc
curities company in case the supreme
court decided against it. We have point
ed out that two methods of distribution
| would be open to the Northern Securities
company, and there Is no official authority
| for a statement as to which one would be
| adopted.
"One method is that followed by the
| Addyston Pipe company, when it was dis
| solved by the courts. It's stockholders re-
| ceived exactly the securities they had de-
| posted. and In addition received their
! proportionate share of the cash assets ac
| cumulated by the company during its
operation. If this method were followed
the Equitable Trust company would re-
ceive for each share Of Northern Sc
curities 10O-115 of a share Of Northern
| Pacific and about a cents, the latter be-
| ing the pro rata share of the present cash
surplus of $750,000.
! THE other method was followed by the
Standard Oil Trust. In this case the
| stockholders did not receive the actual
shares deposited, but received proper
! tionate share of the stock of all the con-
stituent companies. If this method were
| followed the Equitable Trust company
would receive its proportionate share Of
Northern Pacific and Great Northern and
cash.
