The papers in the case of Willie CAL
win, convicted of the murder of Rosa
Pace, have arrived in Savannah. CAL
wins case was taken to the Supreme
Court by his attorneys for the third
time, but realizing that his cause was
hopeless, they did not appear before

THOUGHT FOR AWHILE
CORNER STONE WAS STOLEN.
Hole Discovered in Masonry of old
Exchange Suggested 1t.

The Waterman at the City Exchange
discovered a hole in the masonry work
yesterday afternoon and thought pos
sibly the corner stone of the building
had been stolen. A telephone message
was sent to police headquarters and
an investigation was at once made
1t is believed the hole was made
last week, in the search for the cor
ner stone. 1t had been covered up
with lot of rubbish, which caved in
and exposed the hole in the wall Hope
of finding a corner stone has been
given up now, though the city is still
keeping a Waterman on the scene.

GREEN ORDINANCE
PASSED BY COUNCIL
The Work of INving the Street to
Begin Mt Once.

The amendment to the West Broad
street paving ordinance, providing for
a green down the center and roadways
twenty feet wide of vitrified brick, was
introduced in Council last night, read
for the second time by unanimous con-
sent, and passed. Work on the street
is to start at once, probably this week.
The green is to extend from Gwinnett
street to Anderson. 1t will greatly i'm
prove the appearance of the street,
making it one of the handsomest
thoroughfares in the city. Much of the
preliminary work has already been
done. The amendment provides that
the Savannah Electric Company is to
pay the same amount towards the
work, as it would have to if the green
had not been decided upon.

IT'S POLITICAL ASPECTS
Merger Decision a Good Thing for
Roosevelt and Van SAINT.

Merger Decision GOOD Thing for
Roosevelt and Van SAINT.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March 15.-There is a.
strong disposition to regard the
merger decision as a great political
victory for the Roosevelt administra-
ton. It was Roosevelt who began
the litigation which resulted in the
decision, and it was he who also began
litigation against sundry other trusts,
which cases are still pending in the
courts. .s
He also compelled the passage by
congress last winter Of legislation
making the antitrust laws more eff
for many official acts, he is best
known in the public thought as the
president who first took steps to re-
strain a few monopolists gobbling up
the Industries of the country.
And while the president gets a
large share Of glory out of the de-
cision, much will attach itself to Gov
ernor Van SAINT of Minnesota, who is
really the man who made the discov-
cry on which the president was SO
quick to act. In proceeding against
the Northern Securities company, the
president simply followed the course
which already had been mapped out
Logically, the decision, it is believed
here, will have some effect on the
present gubernatorial campaign in
Minnesota. Judge Collins represents
the Van SAINT view as to the merger
and has so declared himself from the
beginning. In fact, he is strongly
supported by the governor on that &C.
count.
Mr.. Dunn, on the other hand, is be-
1ieved to represent interests which are
hostile to the Van SAINT position
Long ago, Mr.. Dunn declared that the
governor was wrong In his crusade
against the Securities company, and
that statement has never been rescind.

It is felt here that the decision mus
affect the Dunn candidacy un.
favorably, unless the state Of public
sentiment in Minnesota. which result
ed in the enormous majority which
| Van SAINT had two years ago, has radi

CONFERENCES HELD
Hill and Other Officials Discuss De-
cision but Refuse Statement.

New York, March 15.-President
Hill and other officials of the North
ern Securities company were in con-
ference to-day, but declined to make
any statements for publication. Vice
President and General Counsel Clough
had long talk with Mr.. Hill, and
Daniel S. Lamont. vice president OF
the Northern Pacific railway, was an
other early visitor.
Colonel Clough returned from
Washington to-day. Contrary to ex-
pectations he said he had not brought
back with him an official copy Of the
decision in the securities case.
1.-THE official copies are not yet pub
lie property" he said. $50 far we
know little beyond what the news
papers have told us"
Colonel Clough refused to discuss
the conditions produced by yester-
days decision, and would give no hint
as to the securities cOmpanys next
move. He was closeted with President
Hill for upwards Of two hours.
Northern Securities stock was
strong on the curb to-day, selling up
to STU soon after the opening.
The adjourned annual meeting OF
the Northern Pacific railway was
again adjourned to-day until May II,
no business being transacted.
Practically all of the Northern Pa
ciflc stock is owned blythe Northern
Securities company, which has been
enjoined for voting this stock, hence
the repeated adjournments.

will be conservative, and that what
ever he does will be done with an eye

harm. But that he will, within this
limit, proceed full tilt against the
trusts, is now believed. Wall street

Talk Of Legislation. ....:
There has been talk of additional
legislation, at this session of congress,
growing out Of this decision. That
talk is all foolishness. There is not g.
member Of either house who could
now that the decisions has been made,
propose legislation without being sub
jected to close questioning and proba-
BILE loss of public confidence. The
way in which the Foraker bill was re-
ceived, recently, is proof Of this as
sertion.
The only man in the country who at
this time can, without criticism, pro-
pose legislation is the president him
self, and he is hardly likely to do it.
The present understanding is that he
is willing to let things run along as
they are until another session of con-
gress.
There is plenty of law now available
| to bring the big trusts to book, in the
| opinion OF the department Of Justice.
Later on, some amendments to these
laws may be necessary, but not now.

HILL HAS A PLAN
Head of Merger Refuses to Tell What
His Scheme Is.

Special to The Journal.
P. New York, March 15.-"To ascer-
tain whether the supreme court de-
cision affects other companies, you
have only to consult your own judg-
ment," said James j. Hill, president Of
the Northern Securities company.
1T depends on whether the law as
interpreted by the supreme court is
executed"
After the decision by the circuit
court last April, Mr.. Hill expressed the
opinion that So or 80 per cent of the
railroad systems Of the United States
would be up in the air.
IF the decision should be reaffirmed
by the supreme court, will you make
a request again to open the case?" Mr..
Hill was asked to-day.
II don't think we care enough about
it," replied Mr.. Hill.
Then you have plan to keep the
Northern Securities properties togeth--
err, Notwithstanding the supreme court
decision?''
1--WE have a plan," he replied, but
it is not ready for publication. I can
not speak of it in detail until have
seen the text Of the opinion. We
shall comply with the law, whatever it
may be. The supreme court has not
destroyed our right to property which
we own. It decided merely against
the ownership of the Northern Sc
curities company"

Washington, March 15.-FNollowing
is a. full synopsis of the Harlan opinion
in the merger case. After stating the
well-known facts of the case, Justice
Harlan said:
In our Judgment the evidence fully sustains
violation Of the act of congress in SO FAR as
it declares illegal every combination or con-
eral states and with foreign nations, and forbids
attempts to monopolize such commerce.
He again REQUIRED to the facts in the
case and said that laying aside any minor
things, it was indisputable that upon the
principal facts of the record under the
leadership Of Hill and Morgan the stock
holders Of. the two railroad companies,
having practically parallel lines Of road,
had combined under the laws of New Jer-
sey by organizing corporation for the
holding Of the shares Of the two companies
upon an agreed basis Of value. Proceed
ing, he said:
The Organization.
The stockholders of these two competing COM
panies disappeared as such, for the moment, but
immediately reappeared as stockholders Of the

the interests of both sets of stockholders as q

He agreed with the summing up by the
circuit court Of the results Of the com
bination, which was that it places the con-
troll Of the two roads in the hands Of a
single person, and second, that it destroyed
every motive for competition between the
two lines by pooling their earnings, not
withstanding both were engaged in inter

Other Cases Cited. !,
Entering upon an investigation of the
authorities bearing upon the case, Justice
Harlan quoted the Knight, the Freight as

consideration Of these precedents the fol.
