party in Pennsylvania and an alleged
attempt to discredit and dishonor our
Supreme Court by making the high
est judgeship a mere perquisite of a
corrupt machine and a place of exile

adopted to-day by the Democratic
State convention says:

SAY EXTENSION OF THE
SEAWALL is NECESSARY
Members of Chamber of Commerce
Will Endeavor to Have Proposed
Bond Issue Pass.

AT the quarterly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce held yesterday
it was decided to confer with other
commercial organizations with a view
to impress upon the general public
the, necessity of passing the proposed
bond issue of $4,000, 900 for the ex-
tension of the seawall, so that ten
more wharves may be built. Business
on the water front is said to be very
much impeded at present as result
of lack of room.
1t was resolved that the California
delegation at the national capital be
requested to do all in its power to
have one OF the proposed military in
struction camps located near San
Francisco.

DENIES RIGHT
TO INTERVENE
Court Will Not Grant Peti-
tion of Hartman in the
Northern Securities Case

ST. PAUL. April 1s.-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day Judges
Sanborn. Thayer. Vanderventer and
Hook unanimously denied the applica-
ton Of Z. II. Hartman and Winslow
Pierce and the oregon Short Line Rail-
road Company for leave TO intervene
in the case Of the United States against
the Northern Securities Company on
the following grounds:
First-The plan Of the directors OF
the Northern Securities Company for
the distribution OF the stock Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railway companies is not violative OF
the decree in the Northern Securities
case.
Second-No one but the United States
can successfully appeal to the court to
enioin the execution Of that plan on
the ground that IL is in violation Of
the sherman antitrust act and the
United States expresses satisfaction
with the present decree.
Third-The stock Of the two railroad
companies is not in the custody of the
court
Fourth-An Intervention is not neces-
sary to enable the petitioners to pro-
tect any pecuniary interest or equity
they have.
NEW YORK. April 1s.-Colonel w.

counsel Of the Northern Securities
Company. when informed Of the de-
nial bv the United States Circuit Court
Al ST. Paul OF the petition by Messrs
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-20

Hartman and Pierce regarding the
proposed stock distribution, said that
the result was just what he had eX-
pected. but beyond that statement he
refused to express himself.
One of the counsel for the Northern
Securities Company said the decision
at St. Paul will merely throw the ap-
plication for an injunction out OF
court and any appeal would not carry
with it a stay of the proceedings, be-
cause if it did so much stay would
practically grant the injunction.
The court in discussing the reasons
for the decree, after reciting the
grounds put forth by Hartman and
Pierce for leave to intervene, says:
Applications for leave to intervene
in a case after the entry of a final de-
cree are very unusual They are never
granted as a matter of course, and
owing TO the tendency Of such appf-
cations TO occasion delay and prolonS
the existing legislation they ought not
to be granted unless il is necessary TO
do so to preserve some right which
cannot otherwise be protected or 10
avoid some complication that is liable
to arise.
"Our conclusion is that the petition
ers should not intervene and import
into the case new issues TO be tried.
The due enforcement of the decree
does not necessitate such action and
if it so happens that the decree of this
court in favor Of the Government
creates a situation which shall give
rise to controversies between stock
holders of the securities company as
to how the holdings Of that company
in the two railway companies ought to
be distributed or what should be done
with such holdings, these are questions
which can be settled among the stock
holders themselves.
Leave TO intervene is denied"
A representative of the Hartman in
terests said that the decision is just
what they expected it would be. The
suit was brought in the United States
Circuit Court merely as a matter of
form, so as to give Minnesota an op-
portunity TO jurisdiction in the
case if il so desired.

the act of holding up Daniel Short on
board the scow schooner Heckla last

looking for him for another hoId-up

Shortly after O'Clock last night
Fred Smith was held up by two men
on the corner of Third and Berry
streets. Mclaughlin held re-
volver before Smith, while another
thief went through his pockets. 1t
developed that Smith had only 55
cents on his person. and in a rage
Mclaughlin struck him on the jaw
with his revolver.
Smith straightway notified the po-
lice of his experience and Officers
Bruce and Connolly were detailed TO
look for the thieves.
The officers had not searched he
neighborhood long before their at
tention was attracted by cries issuirg
from the deck of the Hecla.
Upon their arrival at the schooner
they found Mclaughlin His accom-
plice had made good his escape Nc
Laughlin was taken to the Central sta
ton, where they were booked on
charges of attempted robbery, robbery
and carrying a concealed weapon. AS
yet the other man has not been appre-
hended.

Experiment.

NAPA, April 19.-The Napa State
Hospital Will this summer try the
novel experiment of irrigating with
salt water. At the asylum railroad
station, mile south of town. there is
a crude oil pumping plant where oil is
pumped from the cars up TO the insti-
tuition. The Napa River runs by this
station. Chief Engineer Joe Mcdonald d
proposes to utilize the pumping en-
gine and large pipe to bring the water
from the river into the gardens for ir-

the State Lunacy Commission, which
met here last week, and the members
of the commission were favorable to
its being tried.

wretchedly early morning hour in a
downpour of rain and were met by a
smiling delegation from the local
Board of Trade. News of the washout
caused a delay in the calling to order
of the convention, which was sched-

hours were gaily spent in caucusing
