Minnesota VS.. Northern Secur.
tiles Is Sent Back to the
State Courts.
DECISION REACHED TODAH
.owsr Courts Are Reversed and Found
to Have Been in Error in Assum-
ing Jurisdiction of tho
Complaint.

Washington, April l3.-The United
States supreme court today decided the
case of the State Of Minnesota VS.. the
Northern Securities company and the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Railway companies. involving the
validity of the merger of the two rail
road companies. holding that it was
without jurisdiction. and reversing the
opinion OF the court below. The opinion
was by Justice Harlan.
Justice Harlan said the circuit court
should not have entertained jurisdic-
ton in the case, the effect being to re-
mand the case to the state courts.
Victory for the State.
st. Paul, Mimi, April l3.-The SUI
preme court decision in the case of
Minnesota against the merger is con-
sidered by the states legal officers a
virtual victory for the state. although
1t puts the litigation back exactly
where it was When the suit was first
begun. This was the original suit
against the merger, begun before the
federal government began its action.
1t was transferred from state to fed
elal court. and Judge Lochran In fed
eral district court too jurisdiction.
Without much question the decision Of
the case on It's merits against the
state, the United States supreme court
now says virtually that Judge Lochran
should not eve have assumed juris-
dlction. much less decided that the
merger was a legal corporation that
could not be reached by the laws OF
Minnesota. The suit now goes back to
the state courts.

ATTACKS Mr.. BRYAN.
Mrs. P. S. Bennett Gives a Reason for
Removing Him as Executor
of Estate,

New Haven, Conn.,, April l6.-CounseI
for the widow of Philo S. Bennett this
afternoon filed in the probate court an
amendment to her original application
for the removal of William j. Bryan as
executor Of the Bennett estate. In the
original petition it was charged that
Mr.. Bryan was wasting the estate and
that his personal interests contlicted
with those Of the estate and other heirs.
In the amended document Mrs. Ben
nett's couns charged that Mr.. Bryan
is indulging in tactics that tend to de-
lay the final settlement of the estate,
and that he intends to keep on appeal
ing all the various decisions to higher
courts. thereby neglecting to perform
his duties as executor. The judge took
the papers and will set a late for the
hearing.
AS soon as Mr.. Bryan appealed to the
supreme court from the decision OF the
probate court throwing out the sealed
letter as a part Of the Bennett will
several months ago Attorney Stoddard
for Mrs. Bennett applied to the probate
court to have Mr.. Bryan removed as
executor. claiming that in the prosecu-
ton OF the appeal he was wasting the
estate and not acting in good faith as
executor. Arguments were heard by
Judge Cleveland. but by an agreement
OF counsel the judge reserved his deci-
sion until after the appeal to the supe-
rior court was thrown out. He a just
announced that he would make known
his decision this week when Mr.. Stod-
dard entered h amendment to the
original application asking for Bryan's
removal.
In giving his reasons for the action
Mr.. Stoddard points out that since FL
ing the original application last Decem-
Der Mr.. Bryan has actively prosecuted
the appeal from the decree of the pro-
bate court to the neglect of the estate.
He explains that after trying his case
before a jury and being thrown down.
Mr.. Bryan still is making preparations
to prosecute the appeal still further to
the supreme court. thereby further tie
ing up the estate and preventing the
heirs from receiving their share. Mr..
Stoddard in his application says that
MI. Bryan has brought an action for
the construction of the Bennett will and
that a demurrer to this was sustained.
but that it is the evident purpose of
Mr.. Bryan to appeal from the decision
to the supreme court, so that the estate
will continue to be tied up Indefinitely
to the disadvantage of the heirs and
the qualification of Mr.. Bryan himself,
who is fighting for the $50. 900 beuuest
made to him in the sealed letter.

ICRITICISE GOVERNOR
AND the MILITARY
For Having Oisregarded Course
OF the Court in Recent
Trouble.
QUESTION: WHO is GUILTY?
Court Demands That General Bell and
Captain Wells Be Brought to
Justice, But Governor
Says No.

Ouray, Colo, April l3.--DiStrict Judge
Stevens today declared Adjutant Cen
eral Bell and Captain Wells to be in
contempt of court for not complying
with a writ of heabeas corpus which re
quired the officers to bring before The
court today Charles H. Meyer, presi-
dent of the Western Federation OF
Miners, who they are holding in con-
finement at Telluride.
The court ordered the sheriff TO ar
rest the Two officers.
The judge severely criticised the
curse Of Governor Peabody and the
military authorities.
If the military continues to disregard
the order of the and refuses to
release President Meyer, Attorney
Richardson, representing the Western
Federation of Miners, Will apply to the
state supreme court for Il writ or
habean corpus.
The return to the writ made by Cen
era Bell through Assistant District
Attorney Howe Of Telluride Gus
his failure to produce the body of MI.
Meyer OF the ground that he deemed 1t
unsafe to bring Moyqf to Ouray or to
reduce the military fOrCe III San NlSuel
county by 50 doing. and that the gov
error had ordered him to disregard the
writ.
Judge Stevens said:
The people of Ouray will rightly re-
sent the imputation hat General Bell
or Captain Wells could not come alone
and In safety before this court.
"A very grave question Is presented
as to whether IT is the striking miners
or the governor of Colorado and the ma
tional guard that are engaged in insur-
rection and rebellion against the laws
Of the state.
If there is to be a reign Of military
~despotism in this state, and civil au-
thority Is to have no Jurisdiction, the
latter might as we'll go out of business"
Judge Stevens refused to permit the
filing Of the return of the writ, ordered
that Charles S. Meyer be discharged
from custody. issued an order of at
tachment against General Bell and
Captain Wells. assessed a fine of $500
each, n expressed regret that the
governor was not before the court. as
he considered him equally guilty with
General Bell and Captain Wells.

HAS DECIDED NOT TO YIELD.
Governor Says the Court Is Exceeding
Its Authority.

Denver, April 13.-When Gov. Pea
body was Informed of the action Of
Judge Stevens. Of Ouray. ordering the
arrest of Adjt. Gen. Bell and Capt.
Wells for contempt Of court in not
complying with the writ of habeas
corpus in the Meyer case, he said:
we will not recognize the writ Of
attachment, and the military authori-'
ties will not appear in court. Neither
will we give up Meyer. We will claim
hat the courts have no right to enjoin
or arrest the officers OF members Of
the military while they are on duty.
They are not subject to attachment or
injunction at this time. If the district
court Of Ouray is to be allowed to in
terfere in the carrying out of the plans
of the military under martial law, there
is no eason why a justice Of the peace
might not with equal authority inter-
ven n rende the military absolute
ly powerless M impotent. The court
made known it's wishes In the mat
ter, and we have stated our position.
1t is now up to the court to make the
next move In the matter. What tha
will be l am unable to say"

SOMEBODY HAD A TIP.
Md Knowing That SulIy Was Going t.
Fail, Sold Short and Cleaned Up
Mat Eor4,s

New York, April 16.-Somebody knew
at 10 o'clock Of the day Daniel j. Sully
failed that he was going to fail that
day, and sold cotton short heavily
from the opening of the market. The
fact was established today by the COM
mittee OF the fallen cotton kings credit
ore. They are now trying to identify
the sellers. At 1905 o'clock that morn
ing a Spectator who has been u ramp
ant bull on cotton all season rushed
into the office of his broker and ordered
the instant sale of 1000 bales he was
carrying. When the sale was reported
TO him the broker remarked: That's
a quick change Of position. Are you
sure you are right"
I'm on a sure thing today" was the
reply. Nov sell $4,000 bales short
quick as you can and take it in just be-
fore the close tonight at the market"
The Spectator left the Office and did
not appea until the next day, when he

In good faith and promptly we are
complying with the decree OF the supreme
court that the Northern Securities COM
pany must be dissolved" said Mr.. Hill.
I'VE are doing this, 80 our counsel ad-

sound"
"How about the objections made to
your plan?'
The courts will pass upon them" said
Mr.. Hill, with some impatience.
I'm proud OF some facts regarding the

Mr.. HE. I'VE put together q corporation

we are forced to take it apart, we are
fortunate in being able to do 80 with an

The total cost OF making and MAIN
tanning that property for TWO and one-half
years was only STAT OK. That is about

a big rake-off for promoters or officers -
concluded Mr.. Hill, laughing.
rs Mr.. Harriman's protest In the courts
against your plan for division of the as
sets Of the Northern Securities company
TO be regarded as q friendly suit?'
Mr.. Hills manner changed instantly.
His eyes fairly flashed as he said:
Let Mr.. Hartman answer that ques-
ton. l do not propose to pass judgment
on that man or his motives. Mr.. Harri-
man Is undoubtedly trying to secure con-
troll of the Northern Pacific. That Is easy
enough for any one to see. However, the
laws of several OF the states through
which the oregon Short Line and the
Northern Pacific run are utterly opposed
to such ownership or control, and pre-
sumo he would be prevented from accom-
plishing his purpose by those laws"
Asked whether Mr.. Hartman would Sc
euro control Of the road In event the
courts sustain his views regarding the
redistribution Of Great Northern and
Northern Pacific stock. Mr.. Hill replied:
He would not, in my opinion"

day on his way to inspect the Southern
