ROOT ENTERS HIS DENIAL

St. Paul, April 13.-The decision of the United States circuit court as to the right of either Winslow Pierce or Har- riman Of the oregon Short Line to file a petition in the case of the government against the Northern Securities company will be handed down tomorrow when the court meets. The arguments on the mo- ton were concluded today, Judge John son addressing the court on behalf of the defendants and W. D. Guthrie closing for the petitioners.
 Mir Guthrie in closing furnished the sensation of the hearing by maintaining that the Northern Securities company has since the decree of the United States circuit court declared the securities com pany Illegal added materially to Its holdings of Northern Pacific and Great Northern stock with the intention of re- tainng control of these roads. This statement Elihu Root took occasion to deny. saying that he was authorized to say that neither MT Hill nor Mir. Mor- gan have acquired one share in either company since the decree was handed down. The argument attracted an even greater attendance than those of yesterday and were filled with keen in- terest.

"I wish to call specific attention, said he "to the fact that not one of the de- fendants has filed any affidayts or made any denial whatever of the claim made by us that if this distribution goes into effect that the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern will be in still closer control than before. The only form of denial they have made is to quote from the report of Secretary Nichols to the effect that if distribution Is made under the plan, MT. Hill will have left only "A per cent.
 "We all know that 1t is a common prac- tice among bankers. financiers and brok- CTS to hide ownership of stocks by mak- ing them over to clerks, friends and any one whom they can conveniently use for the purpose.

 'If we are permitted to examine the books we can show that the effect of this plan of distribution is, and has been from the first to perpetuate the control of the Northern Pacific in the hands of MT. Hill"

Makes Sensational Charge.


 At this point Mir Guthrie made the somewhat sensational charge that the Northern Securities company has in- creased it's holdings since the decree was issued
 Referring to MT. Johnson's admission that the ol ject of this was to obtain de- lay. Mir. Guthrie exclaimed: Why are they afraid of delay? There has been no competition between the Northern Paci- fic and Great Northern since 1S96 and all of a sudden they are terribly wor- ried."
 We want our Northern Pacific stock back. We do not want any Great North ern. It Is the simplest thing to under stand that if we are forced to take an interest in both we will naturally not care for competition. If we take only Northern Pacific we must have and will seek competition with the Great North ern."
 Judge Sanborn asked as to the form of order desired.
 MT. Guthrie replied
 "We ask that the permissve decree be made mandatory and that the court direct that the distribution of the stock be made to original holders.'

EIihu Root Enters Denial.

As Mr. Guthrie closed his argument Eihu Root rose and obtaining permission of the court. replied to the charge made by Mr. Guthrie that the defendant, Hill and Morgan, had individually acquired stock in the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads after the decree O. the circuit court had been handed down. He said; "I think counsel hardly appreciates the gravity of the charge he has made. It means If sustained that these gentle- men have been guilty of criminal con- tempt of court. I am authorized to state that neither Mr. Hill nor Mir. Morgan have acquired one share of either of these stocks since the decree was handed down."
 MT. Guthrie in a brief reioinder stated that the petitioners had nothing to go by eSoe ept the records of the court and testi- mory of .he defendants and that if they were illgitimate he would apologize. If giTen an opportunity to prove what they believed to be true he thought it would be disclosed that additional stock had been acGl fred if not after, at least on the decree and in anticipation of it, so ths the pro rata method of assets might De furthered
 The court then announced that it would take tho matter under advisement and adjourn until tomorrow.

Many Difficulties.

Among some of the wilder Thibetan
tribes In the Koko-nor there is curious

Booklovers Magazine. This consists in
placing the girl, on her wedding morn,
in the upper part OF a tree, while her
male relatives remain on the lower
limbs-or else in the back part OF her
fathers tent or hut, while these same
relatives guard the entrance-in each
case the later being armed with lolo
thorn sticks.
The groom, when these preparations
have been completed, rides up and an
nounces his intention Of selling the
bride. This requires fortitude, for the
relatives beat him numerically when
he attempts to reach the woman. II
he manages to elude his assailahts and
touch the toe Of the woman, she is his.

PRETTY COATS OF TAFFETA
Elaborate Little Garments That Are
Delighting the Lovers
Of Fine Dress.

Beautiful coats are made OF tan colored
taffeta and of black taffeta and white.
These taffeta coats are delightful in cut
and are made in all the varieties and
vagaries of Dame Fashions dictate,
says the Brooklyn Eagle.
One of the prettiest styles Is that of a
modified kimono. This is straight and
Is finished around the bottom with strap
pings of cloth. The cloth, which is not
more than half an inch wide, is stitched
along both edges. 1t extends up the
front and all around the lower edge Of
the coat. A similar band of taffeta Is
used to outline the yoke and extends
around the neck and up on the coat in
great swirls.
The sleeves of this taffeta kimono are
very wide and are finished with stitched
bands Of cloth, which is also put on in
swirls. The yoke is trimmed with swirls
of cloth stitched upon both edges.
The vest of this coat is fashioned OF
Persian embroidery, which Is carried out
In many colors. Red and blue and green
are outlined upon background Of pastel
tone.
An elaborate little coat Of this kind can
be worn either with a silk skirt or one of
cloth and is equally pretty with satin or
with taffeta. 1t makes nice little coat
for calling and reception wear and it
makes Q pretty coat for grayer days and
rougher occasions. s

KEEP UP THE MILK FLOW.
Every Wise Dairyman Knows That
It Pays to Care Well for the
Cows in Midsummer.

Now is the time of year to look care
fully after the milk flow and see
that 1t does not materially fall on.
Every dairyman knows that when q
cow is allowed, through lack Of sue
culent food, to fall on in her milk, 1t
is impossible to again bring her back
to the original flow. no matter how
bountifully she is fed. Even II the
food costs more than the milk during
the summer drought, it is best to keep
1t up IL 1t Is intended to milk the
COW through the fall and winter. To
allow the milk yield to run down Is
to court a double loss. The loss OF
the milk is something, but IL the milk is
going to a creamery that is coop
erative in any phase, the lessening sup
ply from all the patrons will increase
proportionately the cost Of making
butter and thus force further loss on.
the patrons. Unfortunately on most of
our farms it is looked upon as the
regular thing to have the cows fall
on in their milk at this time Of year.
and nothing is done to prevent 1t.
This not doing anything is the hardest
thing to overcome when we are trying
to induce the adoption of methods
that will insure the continuation OF
the flow OF milk during early summer
through the hot weather. This Is
hard period for our creamery men, but
the loss always gets back to the farm
ers in the end. This should be re-
membered and measures taken to in
sure different results. Farmers Re-
