SECURITIES CO.
BEATS HARTMAN
INTERVENTION is FORBIDDEN.
nECIsIoy RENDERED BY The
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT.

The Court at st. Paul Unanimously
Denied the Application of Harri-
man and Pierce to Intervene In
the Northern Securities Company.
The Grounds Upon Which the
Court Bases Its Decision.
st. Paul, Mimi. April 19.-In the
United States Circuit Court to-day
Judges Sanborne, Thayer, Van Devan-
ter and Hook unanimously denied the
application of E. II. Hartman and w.
s. Pierce and the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company for leave to inter
vene in the case of the United States
against the Northern Securities Com
pany 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.
Is Federal PrerOgRtive.
Second. No one but the United
States can successfully appeal to the
court to enjoin the execution of that
plan on the ground that it is in vio-
iation of the Sherman antitrust act
and the United States expresses salts
faction with the present decree.
Third. The stock of the two rail-
way companies is not in the custody OF
the court.
Fourth. An interv ention is not nee
essary to enable the petitioners to pro-
tect any pecuniary interest or equity
they have"
Judge Thayer delivered the opinion
of the court.
The court, in speaking of the con-
tentions of Hartman and Pierce that
the proposed plan of disposing of the
stock of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroad Companies
would result in leaving the control OF
the two railroads in the hands of per-
sons who co-Operated in forming the
Securities company, says:
No AItruism Allow ed.
According to well established rules,
the petitioner cannot intrude into this
litigation merely to protect the public
interest so long as the government
is present by it's Attorney General and
expresses its disapproval of such in
vene only for the protection of their
own individual interests and for that
purpose only, in the event that they
can obtain adequate protection in nc
other way.
The United States stands on the
decree as affirmed and submits that
the court is only concerned to see that
il is faithfully observed by the de-
PENDANTS according to its terms. Ir
view of this declaration on the part
of the United States, it is to be pre-
sumed that the government is disposed
to permit the stockholders of the Sc
curities Company to formulate some
plan for the equitable disposition Of
the stock Of the two railway companies
If they can do so, which will not be ii
violation of law, feeling confident OF
its ability to dissolve any future COM
bination in restraint of interstate COM
merce should one in fact result from
any scheme that may be devised fol
the disposition of the stock of the two
companies and preferring to challenge
the validity of any such combination
by an independent bill rather than by
further proceedings in this case"

The Legend Of st. Denis.


st. Denis was q wanderer in the
wilds of the Thessalonian forests for
the space of seven years. The strange
foods that he ate and the constant
companfOnship of nothing but beasts
and birds had startling effect. His
fingers grew CLAWS, and his hair be-
came as the fine feathers of an eagles
neck and breast. Finally. when near
ly heartbrOken by tie changes that his
wild life, was max ;ng in body and
mind, he wandered over to a fine look
ing mulberry tree and ate heartily Of
the fruit. The tree was enchanted,
and partaking of its fruit brought a
change more terrible than all his other
transfOramtions-h lost every SEM
blance to a man, instantly changing
his shape and likeness to those of a
deer. He lay down under tree and
bemoaned his fate in these words: 81
was Of late q man, but now horned
beast; l was soldier, but now prey
for dogs. My bed of down / must
exchange for moss, and musick for

ing his fate the tree spoke to him In
words of cheer, informing him that in
seven years he would be a man again.
