humiliate National Committeeman
Charles A. Walsh, who is also a men,
Der of the state committee, by limit
ing his vote in the latter body to mat
tiers not subject of contest, was not
successful, being defeated in the reso-
lutions committee by a vote of 6 to 5.
Apart from defeat in the Walsh mat
ter, the apti-Hearst men were in abso-
Lutte control, and they now govern the
machinery of the party in Iowa.
The ticket named is clever..y made
up of men of all shades of party belief.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
THE PRO RATA DISTRIBUTION
OF NORTHERN SECURITIES
STOCK ENJoiNED.

Trenton, N. j., July 16.-Judge Brad
ford has granted a preliminary in
junction in the suit brought by Ed
ward H. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed
pro rata distribution of the assets Of
the Northern Securities company. This
Is a defeat for the Hill interests.
The decision of Judge Bradford does
not dispose of the main points at is
sue in the case, which were whether
or not Hartman and Pierce should
have returned to them the stock OF
the Northern Pacific company which
they put into the Northern Securities
company or whether they should have
distributed to them the stock Of both
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern companies on the pro rata basis
provided for by the directors Of the
Northern Securities company.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as to the title OF the North
ern Pacific stock which Z. H. Harri-
man and Winslow S. Pierce put into
the combination and which amounted
to about S79, 00O, 900. The contention
OF the Northern Securities company
vas that the stock had become the alb
solute property of that company and
that it was perfectly legal for the
Northern Securities company to carry
out the pro rata plan of distribution
upon which the company had agreed.
Hartman contended that by reason of
the corporation being declared illegal
by the United States supreme court
the title had not passed from Harri-
man and Pierce and In consequence
they were entitled to have returned to
them the particular stock they had
put into the combination and which
involved control of the Northern Pa
cific company.
