Near Unto Death.

New York March 11-Beriah Wilkins,
owner of the Washington Post, has been
stricken with paralysis in the Waldorf
Astoria. He was unconscious late last
night and unable to recognize the mem
bers of his family who had been sum
moned to the city. The attending physi-

trembling in the balance. Although
they hoped he might recover. they ad-
mitted that the patient might pass
away at any moment
Mr. Wilkins was a representative in
congress from Ohio fifteen years ago.
With Frank Hatton. former postmaster
general, he acquired possession of the
Post about 1890 He is 81 years OF age
and was born in Ohio.
The physician attending Mr.. Wilkins
today said his condition was very ir-
regular, his left side being completely
paralyzed and his temperature being
less favorable. He said that Mr..
Wilkins case was aggravated by a
kidney trouble. His age also was
against him. The physician said that
if Mr.. wilkins condition improved he
would be sick a long time.

Report Of Testimony Taken IN North
ern Securities Case.

st. Paul Mimi. March 1.-THE re-
port of the testimony taken before
Frederick Ingersou, special examiner
in the case of the United States against
the Northern Security company has
been filed with the clerk of the federal
court. The report comprises four vol
umes of approximately 500 pages each
and much OF the testimony has been
published from time to time as it was
taken The filing of the report makes
public for the first time the proceedings
at an interesting session held Novem-
Der -, 1902, in New York. in which the
contentious of the government and the
defendant are outlined.
The securities company maintained
that its operations are not in violation
of the Sherman antitrust act; that
since the passage of that act other rail-
way companies have acquired by pur-
chase and lease parallel and competing
lines, frequently under legislative sane
ton; that these facts have been report
ed to the interstate commerce commits
sion, and by the commission to con-
gress; that the universal, popular and
legislative construction of the Sher-
man act has been that such railway
transactions are not in violation of the
antitrust law.
The attorneys for the Northern Sc
curities company endeavOred TO secure
from the Interstate commerce COM
mission reports on the transaction of
seven railway companies concerning
consolidation. The commission decIin-
ed to furnish the reports and the at
torneys for the defendants then asked
to be permitted to introduce extracts
from Poor's manual containing the de-
sired reports This request was denied
General Richards, for the govern
ment, held that the proposed evidence
was irrelevant and inmateriaI say
ing:
Now the present suit is one brought
against the Northern Securities com-
pany, the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific Railway companies
and certain stockholders of these two
corporations. = The position of the gov
eminent is that in the formation Of the
Northern Securities company in the
way it was formed there was a con
tract or combination made in restraint
Of trade. In the answer of the defend
ants it is insisted that there was no
contract or combination made in re-
straint of such trade. That is a proper
defense and have no objection to any
testimony tending to sustain it. But
it is further urged. on the side of the
defense that if there was 4 contract or
combination made other railway COM
panies have been and are guilty of do
ing substantially the same thing Now
is that any defense2 If other railroad
companies did in any way enter into
contracts or combinations or restraint
of trade among the several states be-
fore the passage of the antitrust act,
can il fairly be claimed that the anti
trust act was not intended to apply to
such contracts or combinations The
inference is clearly the other way

BLOOD ON THE STAIRS
Dead Body of a Young Woman
Found at Their Foot.

New York March 11.-Detectives of
the West Thirtieth street station are
much mystified over the finding of the
body of a young white woman lying at
the foot of the stairs leading to a bill
lard room owned and patronized by
negroes on the second floor Of 104 Thir-
tieth street.
The woman was of good appearance
and well dressed. A surgeon who ex-
amined the body said death was due to
q fracture of the base of the skull. There
was blood upon the stairs leading to
the club room, as though the woman had
either been thrown down or had tried to
drag herself up after she was hurt
Thirteen cOlored men who were in the
club rooms were taken to the station
house, and four of them were locked up
on suspicion of knowing something %
the manner in which the woman came
to her death.

fore an officer arrived on the scene the
