RED CROSS BOOKS
WILL BE SCANNED
MaIadministration, butNOt Nal.
feasanCe, Is Charged by
a Faction.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
books and accounts of the Red Cross
society will be taken on Thursday to
the United States capitol, where they
will be examined by a committee of
inquiry appointed to look into the af-
fairs of the society. The committee
then will engage an expert accountant
to examine the books and report to
the committee. Counsel for the re-
monstrants in the Red Cross contro-
versy have been asked to submit list
of witnesses, and what they expect to
prove by each. With all this matter
before it the committee will determine
the course it shall take in the effort
to straighten out the trouble in the
society.
The committee Of inquiry met today
in the room of the senate committee
on military affairs A hearing was
first had at which a large number Of
the demonstrants made pleas looking
to reorganization as the only means
of restoring public confidence in the
affairs of the society. An executive
session followed at which 1t was de-
cided to send for the Red Cross books.
The hearing was presided over by
senator HSQu0lQ anu In6 OlDer
members, Representative William Al
den Smith and Gen. F. G. Ainsworth,
were present. Both factions were rep
resented by attorneys.
The suggestion of new blood was
taken up by Mr.. Herbert, ex-secretary
Of the navy; as the proper solution
Of the problem. He said that without
new blood and a great deal of it the
country would not regain confidence
Z in the Red Cross society.
Mr.. Smith asked many questions OF
L. A. Stebbins, attorney for the re-
spondents, and Leigh Robinson, attor-
ney for the remonstrants, concerning
charges against officials Of the society
and whether malfeasance was charged
1t was stated that malfeasance was
not charged, though maladministratior

venOrs, create an element Of combina-
ton, for under the ratable plan not
more than 24.9 per cent of the stock Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad company
and not more than 23.8 per cent Of the
stock of the Great Northern would be
vested in the So called Hill Morgan in
terests, and that a majority of the
stock Of the two railroads would be
owned by not less than $500 persons.
Three thousand persons would own
1881 per cent of the stock of the
Northern Pacific and 1914 of the stock
of the Great Northern.
The Nichols affidavit, with others
presented in the case, were received by
the judges, but are not considered as
filed until the legal questions involved
are passed upon by the court under
the petition. Should the court hold
that Hartman and Pierce have no
right of intervention the affidavitS will
not be considered but should the court
permit the intervention then the afdda-
Wits and other evidence will be ad-
mitted as evidence.
GOVERNMENT FILES OBJECTION.
The statement by the attorney gen.
as a surprise to both sides Of the con-
troversy. 1t was during the argument
Of Maxwell Evarts, for the petitioners,
that something in his argument sug-
gested the interest of the United States
in the litigation. Judge SanbOrn
stopped the attorney to inquire if he
was cognizant of the fact that the ma
tional government had interposed for
NAL objection to the proposed inter
vention by the Hartman interests. A
negative reply being received, Judge
Sanborn called on District Attorney
c. G. Haupt to read the attorney gen.
erals objection. This was done and
the incident created a distinct impress
sion on the minds of the throng that
filled the court room.

leave to intervene in this cause and
to proceed and be heard in respect

on bill, answer and testimony, and
a final decree was entered, enioin-
ing the defendants as therein re-
cited. Upon appeal by the defend

The United States stands on the
decree as affirmed, and submits that
the court is only concerned to see
that it Is faithfully observed by the
defendants, according to Its terms.

DULUTH, Mimi, April 12.-Although
they are momentarily expecting the ar

to have made his stake in the Klondike
country, John and Louise d'Andrea,
Italian children, aged fourteen and f1f-
teen years, respectively, will be sent

the proper care. Their father has
promised to appear within a few days
and take charge of the waits.
D'Andrea senior left Duluth seven
years ago for the purpose of hunting
a fortune, and during the last three
months had not been heard from. 1t
was supposed that some accident had
befallen him, but recently a daughter
in this city received a letter signed
with his name stating that he had made
a fortune in the far North.

TNHE United States circuit court,
Judges Walter H. SanbOrn,
Amos NJ. Thayer, Willis Van
Dervanter and William c. Hook
sitting, yesterday heard arguments
in the attempted intervention of
Edward H. Hartman, Winslow L.
Pierce and the Oregon Short Line
Railroad company, in their effort
to prevent the distribution of the
stock of the Northern Securities COM
pany on the pro rata plan proposed by
the Northern Securities company.
Developments of the day, aside from
the arguments of a number of attor
neys, from a group of the most nota-
BILE railroad lawyers of the country for
both complainants and defendants,
were the filing by the Northern Securi-
ties company of afhdavits Of Edward
7. Nichols, secretary and treasurer
of the Northern Securities company,
and others, setting forth the propor-
tion of shares which those who pro-
NOTED the organization of the North
ern Securities company would get and
the proportion to be received by the
Oregon Short Line under the pro rata
distribution; and the statement by the
attorney general of the United States
objecting in strong terms to the pro-
posed intervention by Mr.. Hartman
and his associates.
In his statement Attorney General
Knox declared in unqualified terms
that the government objects to the
intervention and the United States
stands on the decree as affirmed by the
United States supreme court. The
attorney general says the government
is only concerned to see that the de-
cree is faithfully observed by the
Northern Securities company.
The affidavit by Secretary Treasurer
Edward T. Nichols recites in effect
that the proposed ratable distribution
of the stock Of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railway companies
would not, as alleged by the inter

ers ask leave to intervene in the suit
for the purpose Of getting what they
ask
The Northern Securities company
insists a ratable distribution is fair
and equitable; that Hartman, being
member of the board Of directors, has
assented to all 1t has done, knew it's
shares would be sold and it's shares
pass into the hands Of many bona fide
holders, in reliance of having acquired
a ratable interest in all the property
held by the Northern Securities COM
pany.
Northern Pacific stock has increased
in value since it's requirement by the
Northern Securities company. Harri-
man insists that all this increase
should be given to him in preference
to other shareholders, although he has
known all along that other sharehold-
ers were investing their money in the
shares in the expectation of acquiring
q ratable interest in the shares held
by the Northern Securities company
and in the profits and increase of value
thereof
The question presented by the petit
tion is whether there should be a rat
able distribution by the Northern Secu-
rites company, giving to each owner
of dollar in its shares a pro rata di-
vision, or whether the Oregon Short
Line, instead of standing on the same
basis with the other shareholders,
should have returned to it the stock it
transferred with its large increase of
value.

case for the Union Pacific forces, who
would disrupt the plan for distributing
the stock, was evidently taken some
what aback by the unexpected develop
ment, but he insisted that in view Of
the fact that the attorney general had
made his clients parties to the liuga-
ton, the ends of justice required that
they be heard, and it did not lie with
the attorney general to say that they
should not be heard on their petition.
Attorney Guthrie spoke with deep feel
ing, and his every word, though spoken
In a low tone, was distinctly heard
throughout the room. 1t was one of
the most impressive scenes ever wit
messed in a civil action, involving, as
it possibly does, the ownership of great
tranScontinental railroad systems.
The United States had been made a
party to the suit and a statement from
the attorney general was doubtless ex-
pected. Notice of it had not, however,
been received by either party to the
action, and the first intimation that the
United States may be expected to share
in the final direction of the mandates
of its courts was when Judge Sanborn
gave verbal notice of the receipt of
the statement from Attorney General
Knox.
EXPLANATION OF THE ACTION.

stockholders to be held April Fl to con-
