Securities Company to Re-
Sisf Recent Decree.
Threatened Strike on Manhattan Elevated
May Be Compromised.

st. Paul, April 20.-Before United
States Circuit Judge A. HI. Sanborn
appeared attorneys for the Northern
Securities company, and the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern Rail.
way company, to present their argu-
ments against the recent decree
against the Northern Securities COM
pany, that 1t be so far suspended as
TO permit the payment by the railroads
of the regular May dividends to the Sc,
curities company. They maintain that
the money found would ultimately
reach the same individuals whether
paid to them direct or through the me-
dlum of the Northern Securities COM
pany. On all other points of the de-
cree no modification was asked. A
little over $4,000,000 will be released
for the May dividends If the petition
Is granted and nearly $t4,000,000 would
be paid out before a decision can be
secured from the supreme court of the
United States. Further instructions
from Attorney General Knox this
morning were to the effect that he
should continue to oppose the petition
and not agree to any suspension of the
decree.
The petition was granted, Judge
Sanborn announcing his decision al
noon. The appeal has been perfected
and the bond will be filed at once.

League Games Begin i'm the
Eastern Cities.
Boston, Mass, Celebrating Patriots Day
in Gala Attire.

Boston, April 2O.-With crowds
cheering and the band playing the
champion Athletics, of Philadelphia
and the Boston team marched out on
the diamond shortly after 8 o'clock
this afternoon. Cy Young took his
place in the pitchers box the umpire
shouted the familiar play ball" and
the American league season for 1903
was begun. The day being holiday
In Boston the attendance was such
as to tax the accommodation of the
grand stand and bleachers, spacious
though they are.
Today's game between the Phila-
delphia and Boston teams in this city
is the only one of the American league
schedule. The other teams of the lea
que will not begin the pennant race
until Wednesday, when Chicago will
play at st. Louis, New York at Wash
ington and Cleveland at Detroit. That
the season will be the most successful
the vigorous young league has ever
known is conceded by all. With New
York included in the circuit the league
embraces all of the largest and best
base ball cities in the country. Re.
ports from New York indicate that the
metropolis is prepared to welcome the
invaders as warmly as did this city.
The experience here and at Philadel-
phia last season shows that there is
an ample field for two eood teams il.
one town thOugh unite naturally the
team that makes the best showing will
be rewarded with the best patronage.
The close race for the American lea.
que championship last season, as com
pared with the one-sidedness of the
National league contest is one of the
elements that combined to give popu
larity to the younger organization.
There is no doubt that the race In
the American this year will be hard
one, and more interesting even than
the splendid struggle of last year. II
has never happened that six out of the
eight clubs of major league were
pennant possibilities. but this Is the
condition at the beginning of the Am
erican league race today. While the
Athletics, the winners of the pennan
last year, have strong club this sea
son, in the language of the street
there are others" A careful study o.
the make up of the Boston, st. Louis
clubs leads to the conclusion that al
of these have at least look in at the
pennant.

way and that no police were in sight,
he proceeded to appropriate all the
valuables in the house. He succeeded
in securing a lot OF small jewelry, an
overcoat and few other clothes. The

Bloomfield, Dec 19.-(Special.) "A
disastrous conflagration was narrowly
prevented yesterday morning at the
new school building, which is now
nearing completion. About O'Clock
an alarm of fire was sounded, and upon
investigation it was learned that fire
had broken out on the first floor OF
the public school building, and it was
only by prompt action of the fire de.
partment and citizens that the building
was not greatly damaged. It seems
that in one of the rooms on the lower
floor the workmen employed upon the
building have been accustomed to
build a fire each morning in a stove
Yesterday morning one of the wormen
made fire as usual in the stove, and
in shaking down the ashes one of the
legs of the stove was displaced, and
the stove toppled to the floor, while
the fire from the same ignited a guam
tity of rubbish scattered upon the
floor. The fire was making rapid
progress, and had the men not acted
promptly in sounding the alarm and
in fighting the flames, the new 100000
structure might have been reduced to
ashes.
