SUIT FOR INJUNCTION HAS BEEN
DISMISSED.

Court Holds That the Northern Sc
curities Company Has n Perfect
Right to Reduce Its Capital stock
by Its Distribution PIan-Suit Was
Unwnrrnnted-StOck of the Com
pnny Its Actual Assets.
New York, April 1S.-Vice Chancellor
Bergen to-day dismissed the applica-
ton of the Continental Securities Com
pany for an injunction against the
Northern Securities meeting and the
distribution of stock, sustaining the
Northern Securities contention that
the suit was unwarranted.
The Vice Chancellor stated that there
was no question of the right Of the
Northern Securities Company to re-
duce its capital stock, which action
was conceded to be legitimate; that
the stocks are actual assets of the
Northern Securities Company and
may, therefore, be distributed to stock
holders, as in the opinion of the court
their sale in the market would be a
tremendous injury to the public well
fare and that the method adopted and
heretofore announced for such stock
distribution is perfectly fair.

HOW THE PETROPAVL0 vSK
SANK INTO. THE DEEP.

St. Petersburg, April Is, 1910 p. m.-
In the dramatic description of the
sinking of the Petropavlovsk off Port
Arthur, wired from Lao Yang last
night by a Russian correspondent Of
the Associated Press, a portion of the
account referring to the blowing up
of the Petropavlovsk was delayed. 1t
is as follows:
Moving at reduced speed, the Petro-
pavlovsk came abreast of Electric
Cliff. The torpedo boats were enter
ing the harbor, when suddenly from
the starboard side of the Petropav-
Iovsk's bow a white column shot up.
There was a double muff1ed explosion,
and the whole flagship became COW
cred with orange brown smoke.
They're firing a broadside, cried
a gunner standing beside me, but
through my binoculars 1 gazed speech
less and horror stricken. I could see
fragments of wreckage falling from
above the broken rigging of the fore
mast and flames of fire shooting out.
"'She's sinking! She's sinking'
walled some one beside me. The Pc
tropavlovsk began to settle slowly by
the head, heeling over to starboard I'M
til her rail was under water. Her bow
had already disappeared, and now the
foremost was sinking. l could still
see the coming tower. Then her
smokestacks disappeared. They SEEM
ed to fall through the water, and
the sea began to engulf the mainmast.
Her after turret, with its guns point
ing skywards, quickly vanished; then
her stern, with the port propeller still
revolving. l could see figures, desper-
ately clutching at the slippery hull,
and tongues of fame. last explosion
and all was over. The flagship was
no more.
Boats from the torpedo boat de-
stroysr Gaydamak hurried to the scene
of the disaster. II was forty minutes
mast nine o'clock in the morning."

a sharp pointed lead pencil.
Striking a bone in the wrist, he gave
up trying to sever the artery and turn
ed his weapon to the large veins on
the outer side of his left forearm, and
with jabs and a see-saw motion he
lacerated the flesh and muscles of the
arm and tore open the veins, leaving
a large Jagged wound exposed, through
which the blood gushed i'm streams,
dyeing his bed clothing and running
down over the cell floor in pools
Dug Into the Wound.
His second attempt came after the
wound had been dressed and closed by
the county physician. Neidermeyer
was lying apparently unconscious in
the hospital under a guards care. His
right arm and hand were hidden by the
bed clothing, and with hardly a ais
cernible motion, he slipped the band
ages off his left arm, and with his
sharp finger nails tore away the
threads in the wound and inserting his
forefinger into the ragged hole, he
worked again at the veins and sought
to reach an artery.
He unconsciously uttered a groan
and made a eonvulsive movement,

coverleta the attendants saw with
horror that NiedRrmeyer had torn away
the bandages and reopened the wounds.
NiederIneyer opened his eyes and with
a leerng, wan smile, exclaimed:
LET me die. Doc. Go away and let
me die. You were almost too late the
first time. Now. why do you try to
save my life?"
His Reasons for Suicide.
A letter written by Niedermeyer,
prior to the attempt at suicide, was
found concealed in his cot. In the let
ter the writer incidentally expresses
repentance for his career and he re-
grets leaving the few who have loved
him, but chiefly the letter Is a morbid
glorification of the writer's courage
and his loyalty to his kind in contrast
with Niedermeyer's associate, Gustav
Marx The letter says:
There are four reasons why /
should take my own life:
First. Because of the public boast
that l cannot commit suicide while so
closely guarded.
Second. That cannot cheat the
scaffold.
Third. That they cannot say they
executed me and made me pay for
crime.
Fourth. To have another mystery
for the ignorant police to solve"
The letter concludes as follows:

have learned that the Japanese soldiers
treat people WE'LL pay for their sup
plies and are under strict discipline.
Several thousand coolies are en-
ployed in carrying rice to the front at
more than the customary wages. Alto
gether, the Japanese army is giving an
admirable exhibition of order and self
restraint. There is no looting or rob-
berries, although the soldiers rations
are limited, and the country is full
of cattle, poultry and other provisions
which might be taken.
