half said:
You must determine the weight Of
his evidence. He has "a deep personal
interest in the case and you must con-
sided the probability or improhability
of his testimony"

majority OF witnesses should not be

Federal Judge Edward G.
Bradford Tells Former
Secretary of War Root
That Ma9nates Can
Wait for Cash
No Change in Northern
Securities Injunction
Until Oregon Short
Line Litigation Shall
Be Decided

Judge Bradford refused the request.
He said that to make such a ruling
would be to decide the merits of the
case. and added:
From my observation the people in
terested i'm this suit are Hartman, Hill,
Morgan and some other financial mag
mates, and I do not think they would
be in any immediate danger Of starv-
ing if they were compelled to wait a
time for their dividends"
Mr.. Root insisted that there were
small stockholders who needed their
dividends and would be seriously af-
fected if they were not paid.
"Who represents them?" inquired the
Court.
The ex-Secretary replied that they
were not represented, but they would,
however be affected just the same.
"The Court will not do injustice
either to a poor man or financial
magnate, but it would appear that
those interested ought to be able to
find some plan to tide these people
over" said Judge Bradford.
Recently Judge Bradford rendered an
opinion in the case of Hartman ct al
and the Oregon Short Line Railway
Company restraining the Securities
Company from distributing the assets
as planned until argument of all in
terests could be heard and a final deci-
sion rendered. As a decree for the
temporary injunction must be issued
former Secretary Root and T. L. Stet-
son. representing the company, and
Maxwell w. Elliott, r. f. Levitt and
r. L. Landabury, counsel for other in
terests. appeared before the Court in
regard TO the decree to-day. Mr.. Roo
insisted that there was ample none.
I'm hand to protect the men who had
brought the suit after the dividend Il
paid and that the decree should involve
only the stock in controversy.
Judge Bradford. however. held tina
the Court could not place itself in al
inconsistent position by modifying tn
decree. The decree would be consider
ed by the Court, and whatever wa
done would be done In the district o
New Jersey where he was sitting &
hear the case under a temporary ap
pointment. He will be In Trenton mex
week.
Judge Bradford said that the com
plainants would be required to give
bond when the decree is entered. Ther
was some discussion ovr the amount o
the bond, and it was finally fixed b.
the Court at S2,00OO0O.
