TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
To Restrain Pro Rata Distribution Of
the Assets of the Northern
Securities Company.

SCSAtfhiCS SOH1pdnJs
Trenton, n. j.. July 15.-Judge
Bradford today granted a preliminary
injunction IN the suit brought by Ed
ward Hartman. Winslow Pierce and
others to restrain the proposed pro-
rata distribution of the assets of the
Northern Securities Company. This
is defeat of the Hill interests.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title of the North
ern Pacific stock which f. H. Harri
man and Winslow Pierce put into the
combination and which amounted to
about $79,O00.0O0. The contention of
the Northern Securities Company is
lutte property of that company and
that it was perfectly legal for il to
carry out the pro-rata plan of distri-
button upon which the company had
agreed. Hartman contends that by
reason of the corporation being de
clared illegal by the United States
ed from Hartman and Pierce and
in consequence they were entitled tC
have returned to them the particular
stock which. they put into the comb
nation and which involved the control
of the Northern Pacific Company.
The decision of Judge Bradford
does not dispose of the main points
at issue. which were whether or not
Hartman and Pierce should have re.
turned to them the stock of the Nor.
thern Pacific Company which they
put in the Northern Securities Com
pany, OF whether the shares should
be distributed to the stockholders OF
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern on the pro-rata basis provided
for by the directors of the Northern
Securities Company.
Judge Bradford devotes most of his
opinion to the decision of the legal
question whether he should grant a
preliminary injunction. and he takes
the position that as long as there is
any doubt in the case a. preliminary
injunction should be granted. He says
failure to grant an injunction would
put the complainants in a position
where they would be unable to secure
the relief to which they are entitled
should the case be decided in their
favor.
