new TRIAL REFUSED.
Decision Of Appellate Court In Case Of John
W. Mills Against Philip Allen.

Defendants petition for a new trial has
been denied by the appellate court In the
case OF John w. Mills VS.. Philip Allen.
This was an action 10 recover the balance
due on a promissory note. Plaintiff held
stock as collateral for the note and was
about TO sell II. after the note was due.
when the defendant Allen brought bill
in equity against the plaintiff to enjoin
the sale Of the collateral and 20 cancel the
note. because OF deceit and false represen-
tations. on the part or the plainun IN
procuring the note.
Plaintiff fled an answer denying the
fraud and the whole matter involved In
the bill and answer was referred TO a
referee whose decision was TO be maj,
with the same effect as final hearing be-
fore the court and final decree thereon.
The referee found that the charge OF
fraud In regard 10 the representations OF
the assets OF the firm. for an interest In
which the note was given, was not sus-
tained. and that this plaintiff was en-
titled 10 recover the whole amount OF the
note and that he was entitled to realize
on the collateral given TO secure the note.
Tho present action was therefore
brought and the Judge in the trial court
refused TO let the defendant reopen tho
question OF fraud Chief Justice Siness,
speaking for the appellate court. holds
the action OF the trial Judge correct and
says that the bringing OF an action upon
the note was not an abandoning or the
decision OF the referee. As fraud was
charged and not proven the decree could
crly have been that the bin be dismissed.
The referee. tho chief Justice says. could
no. have made an award on the note. as
he would have gone then beyond the eff
.E ~ A.
other reason why ne could not have made
an award was that the amount that
would be realized from the collateral sale
wns not known.

BIG R. R. TRUST OvERTHR0WN.
Final Decision BY the United States
Supreme Court Against TIE Northern
Securities Company.

Washington. March E6.-ln the
United States Supreme Court, on
Monday an opinion WAS delivered
in the merger case OF the Northern
Securities Company versus the
United States in favor OF the gov
ernment'S contention that the !ner-
ger was illegal. The opinion Of the
court was handed down by Justice
Harlan. and it upheld the decree OF
the Circuit Court ior the district
OF Minnesota in every particular.
Four OF the Justices dissented from
the five constituting the majority.
The division in the Court was due
to a difference of opinion as to the
right Of Federal control OF state
corporations. The majority opin-
ion preceded on the theory that
Congress has right under the con-
stitution to control interstate COM
merce, no matter BY whom conduct
ed, while the minority or dissent
ing opinoion was based on the the
ory that in the present case the
effort is to regulate the ownership
of railroad stocks by state corpora
tons, and that such ownership is
not interstate traffic.
The case decided to-day was
brought BY the United States
against the Northern Securities
Company, a corporation OF New
Jersey; the Great Northern Rail-
way Company, corporation OF
Minnesota the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, corporation
of Wisconsin; Jas J. Hill, a citizen
of Minnesota; William P Clough,
D. Willis James, John S. Kennedy,
J. Pierpont Morgan, Robert Bacon,
George Baker and Daniel Lamont,
citizens of New York.
Its general object was to enforce,
as against the defendants. the pro-
visions of the statute of July 2,
1890, commonly known as the Anti
Trust Act, and entitled AN Act to
protect trade and commerce against
unlawful restraint and monopolles. "
Justice Harlan practically indl-
Gated the decision of the Court in
the first sentence OF the opinion
proper. In that sentence he said:
Sin our judgement the evidence
fully sustains the material illega-
tons of the bill, and shows a vlo-
lation of the Act of Congress, in so
far as it declares illegal every COM
bination or conspiracy in restraint
of commerce among the several
States and with foreign nations,
and forbids attempts to monopolizc
such commerce. =.
