THE DECISION
Action of United States Su-
preme Court on Northern Sc
curities Anxiously Looked For
HILL HAS A NEW PLAN
President'S Friends Declare
That Under No circumstances
Will the Control Be Changed

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-While bankers
here do not generally believe that the
United States Supreme Court will rem
der its decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case Immediately upon the recon
vening after it's brief vacation, the near
approach OF that event is causing much
discussion in financial circles
j. j. Hill, president of the securities
company, has been actively engaged OF
late in comforting with the various
bankers interested and it is now said
tentative plan has been agreed upon
for use in case the Supreme Court de-
cides adversely to the company. Hill
has refused to discuss the subject in
any way, but one of the bankers as
sociated in the enterprise is quoted as
follows:
I'VE do not in the slightest fear for
the fate of the Northern Securities
Company, no matter what the findings
of the Supreme Court. The two prop
critics, the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific roads, will in no event
pass out of the hands which now con-
troll them How this end will be
achieved I am not at liberty to state,
but it will be accomplished, neverthe-
less. II the Supreme Court finds the
present manner of holding the securi-
ties Of the two roads to be illegal it
will indicate what shall constitute a
legal manner of holding them and that
manner of retaining them will be pur-
sued.
IF the decree of the lower court
should be affirmed in all particulars
| there would be trouble TO some other
roads, but not so much to the Northern
Securities Company. which has been
preparing to meet the outcome
In a general way it is understood
that in the event of an adverse decision
and a sweeping decree the Northern
Securities Company will turn over the
control of the Northern Pacific stock to
other interests, either to a railroad cor
poration in. no way associated with the
merger roads or to a voting truStee-
ship. The joint guarantee of the Bur
lington bonds by the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific will not be dis
turbed 1t is presumed that this plan
Contemplates the reduction of Northern
/ Securities stock by the equivalent of
the amount issued for Northern Pacific
stock.
