MERGER CASE
Decided ia Favor of the Gov.
erument by Supreme Court.
Stops the Railroad Consolidation
of James J. Hill and
Others.

Washington, March 15.-The
Northern Securities merger case
was decided yesterday In an opin-
ion handed down by Justice Harlan,
OF the United States Supreme Court,
in favor OF the government, The
opinion was concurred in by Jas
tees Brewer, Brown, McKenna
and Day. Chief Justice Fuller and
Justices White, Peckham and
Holmes dissented. Every claim
made by the government was sus
tanned in the opinion delivered by
Justice Harlan. He held that the
merger of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern Railroad CON-
pauies was a plain violation of the
Sherman antitrust act. Justice
Harlan said the two roads were
consolidated, which he construed
as a violation of the law in restaint
of trade and commerce.

Says Ruling is Final.

St. Louis, March Is. Judge
Amos Thayer, of the United States
Circuit Court, whose opinion in the
Northern Securities case was af-
irmed by the Supreme Court, said:
From what have seen of the
decision it appears that all the
points | made in my decision have
been affirmed. Justice Harlan
holds that the Northern Securities
is clearly a combination in re-
straint OF trade and that it is an
attempt to monopolize interstate
traffic. Relative to the question
raised as to State rights, the de-
cision clearly enunciates that in in
terstate matters Congress is SUI.
preme and any act in violation of
this is absolutely void.
The great question in this case
was whether corporations could
be organized that have no business
of their own save TO act as a hold
ing company for other corporations
and be formed solely for that Pur.
pose. 1t is obvious that if this
could be done, one corporation
could be formed 10 control all OF the
Industrial plants of the United
States. The decision of the Su-
Dreme Court is final. Motions for a
are made in this court,
but never granted, and especially
q a case like this, which has been
gone over time and again,

over what was considered an average crop
Proper feeding of plants was the subject
ola talk by Prof. Lipman.
He said there were two kinds Of plants,
nitrogen consumers and nitrogen producers.
A complete fertilizer, he said, is one that
contains nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash You must know your soil, and
how to treat them for various crops il you
are going to have best success. Western
farmers are sending their sons to Agricul-
tural Colleges and they are returning to
the farm. You can't lay down an ironclad
rule for treating soils. He then told Of a
Vineland farmer who plowed under green
crops until he raised nothing but vines and
straw.
He said company was organized up in
Massachusetts for inocculating soils with
bacteria necessary to make them produc-
tive. He went ON to talk about bacteria
and soils, but we didn't here any outright
commendation of the scheme to fertilize the
soil by inocculation
The afternoon session closed at the con-
clusion of this address, and after lunch the
evening session was opened when melon

these pains. Said there was no such nerve
as the ulna nerve, that was a bone, the
nerve was the nlnar nerve The fact as
testified 10 by the plaintiff, that there was
no swelling OF the hand, the Professor said
was evidence the bandaging had not injured
that nerve There were instances. he said,
of fall on the shoulder injurying the ul-
mar nerve, as described in this case.
On cross-examination, Prof. White, said
the treatment of Dr. Laws in this case, was
perfectly proper, even if there was no
broken homes. He said improper bandag-
ing might produce this injury to the nerve
but snch improper bandaging would cause
swelling of the hands
Mrs Roberts, wife of Seth Roberts, tes-
amined her husband, said he had broken
collar bone, and then bandaged his arm
and shoulder
DR.. Bailey, recalled, said it was bad
treatment to bandage when there were no
broken bones; he had known it to be done,
but not by modern surgeons; it had been
known to cause muscles to shrink and
cause stiff joints. Never heard OF a physi
clan bandaging mans arm for uretas.
In his opinion it would not be proper to
bandage persons limb in case there was
NO facture The pack under the arm is
used only in case of broken shoulder blade.
Shown the bandage used by DR.. Laws he
said be would not known how to apply
that. Under cross-examination, he said if he
didn't know what was the matter he would
not bandage. 1t is not difficult to discoy
er a broken bone, but one of the easiest
things; in fact can always tell

DEFENDANTS CASE.

Mr.. Watkins said this was the first NAL
practice case against physician of this
county ever before the Gloucester county
courts, that he knew of.
His statement of the case was that Rob-
erts came to DIR. Laws on Sept. A, with his
injured shoulder, and the bruise was SO
painful that thorough examination was
impossible The DIR. M ade lotion Of laud
anum and sugar OF lead and advised its use.
Later he bandaged the arm and never saw
Roberts professionally again.
DIR. Laws testified be had been general
practitioner in Paulsboro for II years, he was
a graduate of the University of Pennsylv-
ania. He told Of Roberts coming to see
him on Sept 4, suffering greatly; said he had
fallen from his bicycle against an iron fence,
soon as he moved the arm he cried out, i
can't stand it; gave him lotion and he went
home. Said to Doctor he would send for
him if he wanted him. Mrs. Roberts sent
for him later to look at Mr.. Roberts
arm. The Doctor then bandaged his SON.
arm in the presence of the jury as he
had bandaged Roberts arm. Next eyen-
ing he was called to Roberts house to at
tend Roberts wife. Roberts said he fell
comfortable, and the doctor wanted to see
the shoulder, Roberts said he would come
over and let him look at it, but he had new
er seen him professionally since
Judge Carrow put DR.. Laws under a
thorough and searching cross examination
going over every phrase OF his treatment
during which Dr. Laws said in extenuation
of his not going to see Roberts, being his
family physician, that he considered him.
sr Fired as Roberts physician when he
paid his office fee after the first examin-
alton on Sept 4 aud said he would send
for him il he wanted him.
DR.. G. E. Reading was called and his
testimony Of what he would do under SINH
lar circumstances coincided with what was
done by DR. Laws, in this case. He gave
his opinion than the condition of Roberts
arm was likely to follow cutting the nerve
Dr. Reading on cross examination said
he was member Of the Gloucester county
Medical Society, Doctor Laws was also.
Uretas he said was an inflammation Of the
ulnar nerve, and was very painful.
The testimony of Drs. L. M. Halsey Of
Williamstown and James Hunter Of New
bold, closed the days session. Both tes-
titled to the correctness Of Doctor Laws
treatment under the circumstances.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. IA.
Henry T.. Adamson testified to plaintiff
hanging to cornice at the light house,
and saying his arm was all right, and he'd
make the old gray headed sb- pay
for it,
Walter Carson, former employee Of
Roberts, corroborated Adamson's state
ment
Samuel Duncan, carpenter Of Pauls-
boro, testified that Roberts came to work
after his injury, bnt cannot say as to his
arm being in a sling; have had him to do al
lease four jobs since. On cross-examination
he said he did not notice the exhibition al
the light house other witness told about.

Great Time.

Fourth of July afternoon some
twenty families drove out to
Henry w. Woods for great
time and had it.
There were ball games, foot
racing and other sports for the
big folks. For instance Mes
danes Cora Umstattd and Jas
per Henderson ran two race S
and the deciding third one wa s
declared off. j. Porter Patton
the little infant, slipped and
fell all over himself, wrenching
his back badly.
Mr.. Wood had moved and
raked d space of about three
acres for his friends to gambol
over-guess gambol is good, for
that is what the lambs do-an d
have the time of their lives.
AS the ground was too dam p
to spread cloths on and serve
the greatest supper ever, a 10 t
of feed troughs were cleaned up
and drawn into line, the cloths
spread in them and the goodies
placed on them and then such a
royal, thoroughbred dissap
pearing act OF good things to
eat never occurred on that
Hereford ranch before.
Then came the vivid, lurid,
pyrotechnic scene gotten up by
Mr.. Wood for the pleasure of
his hundred or more guests.
When the last cracker had
cracked, the last candle pop
ped, the last niger chaser
chased and the fiz fiz quit fiz-
zing, the homeward tourney of
tired but happy people began.
If some of those people mad a
a ticket to heaven, they would
want it changed to a lay over
so as to stop at Henry Wise

THE DEMOCRAT
Never Has Nor Never win Rejoice 0ysg
the Downfall of Any Man.
Why that head liner

why that head line?
Because Monday afternoon liz
our presence, a man made this
statement: mo auti-Folk pa
per that l have ever seen has
ever rejoiced over the convic-
tion of a boodler, but they did
rejoice when Butler was not
convicted"
That man has read the DEMO-
Graf to little purpose or he
knew better, aud if he would
make that statement in the
presence of others as we'll as
ourselves we presume it is not
the first time nor place it was
made.
Therefore let this be plainly
understood, and the files of the
DEMOCRAT, proves the state
ment. We have never reioiced
over the downfall of any man
for the reason that we know
that when he goes down. the
innocent hearts of mothers,
wives and children are made
to bleed.
But on the other hand the
DEMOCRAT has demanded JUS
tice, demanded that fish sh ould
not be made of one and fowl of
another 1t has, beginning with
Little Breeches" James L.
Blair, wanted all Of the Jack
Salmon, not minnows, caught.
1t wanted the King of BoodlerS
Charles FL. Turner, and Folk
had the witness money, $685.
900 locked up, prosecuted. 1t
wanted another warm friend,
Nathan Frank, the Prince of
Boodlers, of Keys Coud tut
fame, pulled over the Goals.
And it gave and showed up
the history of several pos eing
as whlte-winged angels, who
were carnal-houses of corrup-
tlon.
Now as to Ed-Old Ed
Butler, if guilty-and we have
reasons to think he is-we as a
matter of justice want to see
him punished to tue full extent
of the law, Bnt when it is
done, we want to see another
warm frieud-James Campbell
of people in high places sent
over the road, for it was the
lack of his evidence that caused
the failure to convict Butler.
/ Aud tell il not in Gath, if there
ever a check for S47, 500 it pass
ed through the hands OF James
Campbell before reaching those
of Edward Butler.
Those are the grounds in is
sue after issue that the DEMOC-
Graf has stood upon since early
last fall and its readers we'll
know it.
While the DEMOCRAT demands
justice meted out to criminals,
it never has, nor will, rejoice
over the downfall OF any men.
