FEDERAL COURT TAKES THE Pc
TlTIoN OF THE hARRlMANs
UNDER AMUSEMENT.
mr.. ROOT REsENTs CHARGE
TAKES EXCEPTION TO A STATE
MENT. REFLEcTING UPON
HIS NOTED CLIENTS. "

st. Paul, April 14.-Arguments on
the Hartman petition to intervene in
the Northern Securities case were
finished at the morning session of the
United States circuit court here.
Court adjourned until Thursday at
which time a decision is expected. The
Injecting of Northern Securities stock
holders to vote on the distribution
scheme is set for April 81, and for this
and other reasons the court will act
promptly.
Should the court refuse leave to
file the petition, the Hartman inter
tests will be compelled to bring an in
dependent action in equity if they wish
to press the matter further.
The case for the Northern Securi-
ties was finished by John G. Johnson
LOT Philadelphia, who opened the days
proceedings with his speech. Mr..
Johnson created a series of sensations
by his singing sarcasm, but he seemed
fcontent, practically, to let the case
rest upon the argument Of Mr.. Root,
although he did accuse the Harrimans
lof seeking delay with the object of
forcing owners of Northern Securities
stock to sell out at a loss to the petit
%tioners, thus creating a panic on the
stock market. Mr.. Johnson also laid
special stress upon the objection filed
by Attorney General Knox to the mo-
ton for leave to file the Hartman pc
tition. Mr.. Johnson said the petition
ers came before the court as eleventh
hour penitents, but the mask of hui
mility could not conceal their sinister
motives.
Guthrie Closed for Hartman.
William d. Guthrie of New York,
leading counsel of the petitioners,
followed Mr.. johnson. His summing
up of the case for the Harrimans was
"a masterful effort and icily brilliant.
In a voice that never broke from it's
scoldly level tones he took the objec-
lions and contentious of the opposition
one by one, analysed them and showed
them to be, in his opinion, fallacious.
He told how to trace the stock; cited
precedents for granting the request of
The petitioners; said Harriman's con-
trOl of the Northern Pacific would not
be illegal and would promote the vel
fare of the Northwest by giving it com
petition that now did not exist and by
furnishing more markets for North
western products than could the Hill
Morgan faction. He said Mr.. Hill
dreaded competition, which the North
west wanted and would get If Harri-
man controlled the Northern Pacific.
Mr.. Guthrie created the sensation
Df the case when he asserted that the
Northern Securities company had vio-
ated the courts decree by acquiring
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
stock.
Mr.. Root, authorized by Mr.. Hill,
made a vigorous denial, saying his
elients were being charged with con-
Eempt of court and that the charge was
Untrue.
Mr.. Guthrie replied that his charge
vas based upon the evidence submit
ed by the Securities company and If
hat were illegitimate he a%pologized to
he court.
The argument was then closed and
he judges took the case under advise
nent.

frozen, / would saw them off, provided,
Of course, they were not frozen below
where they were budded in the nurs-
cry. I see no reason why they should
not put forth healthy sprouts, which in
time would make good trees. A few
years ago q corner of one of my or
chards was badly damaged by cattle.
The trees were yearlings. The next
spring we sawed the trees off a few
Inches above the bud. With the excep-
ton of n or two trees, which sprout-
ed below the bud, they put forth shoots
which made profitable trees. From
my experience with these trees I would
be willing to treat frozen trees in the
same manner.-A. e. Rutherford In

CHARITY CONCERTS DOOMED
BY FAILURES IN LONDON.

PuBffc a ANb TIE HE NEW YORK HERkLb' Be-
London. July 9.-(Copyright 190i)-It IS
thought that the charity concert. which in
past years has been a favorite method Of
sympathetic society women for helping
the funds of London hospitals. which are
supported by voluntary contributions. is
doomed for many years to come, If not for
all time.
This year there has been an unprece-
dented number of these. and in many
cases the results have been disappointing.
Five or ten years ago three big charity
concerts in the course OF a season We're
considered enough for people to subscribe
to. but this year there have been at least
twenty. while smaller entertainments of a
similar character must have numbered
more than 100
At one concert, where royalty was pres
ent and the best artists were engaged. the
net profits were only s4S while others
have not made sufficient to pay expenses
In another instance, one grand dame
lent her beautiful house for high charity
entertainment. Half the seats were empty
and half Of those which were occupied
were free. This. of course. is very bad
for London hospitals. which. feeling the
bad times are crying out for money. In
fact. combined appeals for funds just now
amount to Sl0.T05, 900.

London. July s.-(Copyright, 19o4.)-Re-
ligious education OF children of the upper
classes is in such a parlous state that it
has been deemed necessary by Lord Hugh
Cecil and others to set on foot a mission
for them.
At a meeting held for the purpose in
Westminster the other afternoon Lord
Hugh Cecil. who presided. said 1t was
notorious that children OF the upper class
es had little or no Biblical knowledge No
doubt this was due to the fact that they
mostly were educated at boarding schools
AS illustrating his point, Lord Hugh said
that in making speeches a Biblical allu-
sion, which was at once understood by the
working,class audience, fell on deaf ears
when addressed to an audience of higher
social rank.
Even the House Of Commons. which he
believed composed OF highly educated
men, compared badly in this respect with
an audience Of workingmen.
