Mr.. Louis Hubert called on the
MESSAGE this week. He is one of
t h Q prosperous, happy-hearted
German farmers of Bean Greek
community. Speaking of compul-
sorry education, Mr., Hubert says
that in the old country all children
have to 90 to school, sick or we'll,
Or the parents have to suffer a
penalty worse than paying a mere
fne. But first they see that you
have a good road-in the cities and
villages they are paved, and you
must 60. Mr.. Hubert says he
thinks xxx" is a friend of his, "
and be believes him all right, but
be ought to sign his name to a
newspaper communication and too,
be ought not blame him (Hubert)
for an article that appeared in an
other paper Of the county, with
which he had nothing whatever "a
do.

TURF WAR MAY OPEN
Western Jockey Club Refuses
to Revise Dates

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Horsemen from
nearly every turf center Of the Middle
West assembled here today for the West
ern Jockey club meeting. The question of
interest was request for such a revision
of racing dates for 1905 as to permit a
Encouragement of the schedule at Hot
Springs, New Orleans and at minor
courses.
Whether there is to be turf war or
peace between the race tracks throughout
the West and South will be decided in
twenty-four hours. ;. The track owners
who are dissatisfied with the allotment of
racing dates decided upon at the annual
meeting of the Western Jockey club went
before that body today and presented a
petition asking for a revision of the dates.
The request was refused by the con-
exception Of the new Louisville track.
This track was given five extra days in
accordance with a previous understand
ing. The renewed application of the New
Orleans Jockey club. for racing dates for
1905 was denied, as was also the applica-
tion of the Hot Springs Jockey club for a
change in the allotment Of receiving dates
for 1905.
After the refusal Of the stewards of the
Western Jockey club to reconsider. the
proposition, Mr.. Corrigan, Humphrey
Devereux, William Shannon, Rome Res
pass and other track owners dissatified
with the distribution Of racing dates by
the Western Jockey club stewards held a.
conference to discuss the situation and
decide on what the next move will be.
What the outcome..of this meeting Twill
decided change of sentiment after the
disgruntled owners come together they.
will undoubtedly decide to fight the West

declined, Withdrew in his favor when he
announced himself, leaving him clear
field, and it is thought he will have no op-
position at the election on the twenty

exception, the manager of athletics, this
is considered the most important Office

a Junior law student, and E. F. Weber,

DECISION MAY NOT
MARK END OF SUIT

r. /. harrington, second vice presi-
dent of the Great Northern, outlined
the history of the Northern Securities
company and said:
After the decision of the supreme
court in relation to the legality of the
company the stockholders of the
Northern Securities company met and
decided to distribute the stocks held
by the company.
Under the plan proposed the holder
of each hundred shares Of Northern
Securities was to receive about thirty
shares of Great Northern and forty
shares of Northern Pacific stocks, as
that was practically the percentage the
capitalization of the two roads bore
one another.
Mr.. Hartman filed his bill demand
ing that his holdings in the company
should be satisfied with Northern Pa
cific stocks and applied for an injunc
ton pending the adjudication Of his
claim. He asked that the company be
restrained from distributing according
to it's plan until his case should be
decided
'.The showing was ex parte and the
temporary order was issued by Judge
Bradford, after several long delays
caused by the illness of Judge Kirk
patrick, to whom the application was
originally addressed. Judge Kirkpat-
rick finally died and Judge Bradford
heard the application for the order and
granted it.
"The company took this matter to
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals, and the decision yesterday,
while based on considerable amount
OF evidence, is not necessarily final.'
Mr.. Hill Says This Settles 1t
NEW YORK, JAM 3.-J. J. Hill was
a hic offi 70 cot I,o
pleased but not surprised at the de-
cision. There will be no haste, he said,
in distributing the assets of the North
ern Securities company. He was ask
ed, Does this mean a settlement and
replied: Why, yes, the court settles
it,"
Mr.. Hill was asked whether there
would be a meeting of the opposing
interest as a result of today's decision.
He said he knew of no reason for such
a meeting. Mr.. Hill was reminded that
Mr.. Schiff had appeared before the d..
rectors of the Northern Securities COM
pany last summer with settlement
proposition. To this Mr.. Hill replied
that Mr.. Schiff on that occasion showed
that he stood alone in his attitude.
Even Division" Says Hartman
e. H. Hartman said:
THE matter now has been before
four judges and so far it is an even
division, two having declared for us
and two against u.s."
Will Go To Supreme Court
representatives of the Hartman fac
tion were in conference today and 1t
can be authoritatively stated that ap-
plication by writ of certiorari will be
made before the supreme court at
Washington. It is understood that the
decision handed down by the court in
Philadelphia is not effective or opera
tive before thirty days:

Northern Securities stockholders in
Hoboken today was adjourned until

HISTORY OF NORTHERN
SECURITIES LITIGATION

The Northern Securities company
was formed in November, 1901, and in
cluded among it's possessions the cap
ita1 stocks of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern Railroad companies.
The total capital Of the former was
about $153,000,000 and the latter about
100000.
Suit to dissolve the company was
brought in December, 1901, in the
United States circuit court at st. Louis.
The United States was the complain-
ant. The original decree in the case
was handed down in this court in the
spring of 1903 and was adverse to the
company.
An injunction was granted forbidding
the company to acquire any more

ton, the Burlington would be detached
from the northern roads and made a:
feeder for the Union Pacific That,
naturally, would weaken the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern and en-
hance the value of the Union Pacific.
The great utility of the Burlington,
as Mr. Hill has explained, is that a
vast amount of agricultural products
may be cheaply transported along that
line, the Great Northern line, and the
Northern Pacific, to the coast: and, in
return, the cars that carried out such
products may bring lumber to the.
prairie regions traversed by the Bur
lington.''
Z. Looks for Distribution
Emerson Hadley, assistant general
counsel of the Northern Pacific, said
that he had not received the text of
the decision in full.
II assume" said he, chat If the
injunction has been dissolved the dis
tribution of the stock of the two COM
panies will be made according to the
plan adopted by the Northern Securi-
ties cOmDany."

Defended With Bluffs

CHIFU, Jan. 3.-Capt. Kartzow, COM
manding the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer flotilla which escaped from Port
Arthur and arrived here Monday, tells
a curious story of sbluff1ng by the
Russians at the beginning of the war,
when, although there was plenty of
ammunition at Port Arthur, there was
none on the ships under Golden hill
save blank cartridges used for salutes.
On three occasions when the Japa-
nese warships approached at long range
the Russians opened a noisy fire with
blank ammunition, the Japanese in
each instance retiring.
Prisoners taken by the Russians re-
lated that later, after the Russian ships
had received ammunition, the Japanese
learned of the ruse and were greatly
chagrined that they had not taken ad
vantage of the opportunity. "Our de-
fense," said Capt. Kartzow, "has been
replete with such makeshifts."

Originally the army numbered $4,000.
Eleven thousand have been killed; 49,
0G0 are wounded or sick; 5000 remained
in the forts, of whom 1000 were unable
to fight. The number of officers killed
was proportionately greater than in
any battle known in history. The Rus
slams estimate that the taking of the
fortress has cost Japan 500 ,00o, 600.

LOCHREN COMMENDS
ACTION OF HIGH COURT

The loss to Northwestern interests
If E. II. Hartman and his associates
should win the suit brought by them
against the Northern Securities com
pany to prevent a pro rata distribution
of the Great Northern, Northern Pa
cffic and other stocks held by the
company was commented upon in
formally yesterday by Judge Lochren.
of the United States circuit court.
Judge Lochren had seen no text of
the decision by which the federal cir
cult court of appeals at philadelphia
was reported yesterday to have dis
solved the injunction secured by Har
riman and others against the proposed
distribution. The judge said
1T would not be to the advantage of
the Northwest if the Hartman inter
ests should win. Such victory would
give them, as l understand it, control
of the Northern Pacific company and
at least half interest in thet Burling-
ton company. 1t is the stocks of these
companies and of the Great Northern.
OF course, that are controlled by the
Securities company.
