HARTMAN SCORES
BY COURT DECISION
PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTlo-
RARI IN NORTHERN SECURITIES
CO. CASE is GRANTED BY THE
SUPREME COURT.

Washington, January 30.-The supreme
court of the United States today granted
the petition for a writ of certiorari in
the case of e. H. Hartman and others
VS.. the Northwestern Securities company,
growing out of the former decision of the
court relative to the distribution of the
stock of the securities company.
The effect of granting the writ is to
bring the case to the supreme court for
review.
The argument is set for February 20
after other cases ON the calendar that
day.
The suit was brought to determine the
right of possession of certain shares of
the capital stock of the securities COM
pany delivered to that company by Har-
riman and others In 1901, when the mer-
ger of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern railroad was contaminated At
ter the government suit was decided
against the merger. the securities COM
pany decided to distribute the stock of
each of the two railroad companies among
the stockholders proportionately, instead
of giving to each one the stock originally
deposited by him, as Hartman claims
should have been done. Hartman and his
associates represent the Northern Pacific
stockholders, and they represent $50, l9l. 81
par value. The present case was brought
in the circuit court for the district Of
New Jersey, which granted an injunction
against the securities company, prohibit
ing the disposal of the Northern Pacific
stock.
The circuit court of appeals for the third
circuit reversed that decision, and its de-
cision would have been final but for the
decision reached today to review the case

Mr.. ROOSEVELT GETS BUSY
Wants Congress to Do Something at
Once to Stop Wholesale lncor-
poration of Concerns
in tbs District.

Washington, January 30.-The President
sent a message to the Senate today call
ing attention to the laxity of the cor
poration laws for the District of Co.
lumbia and the need of legislation in
that direction. The message follows:
'To the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
Il have been informed that the atten-
ton of Congress has been drawn Of the
effects of the law authorizing the forma-
ton OF corporations in the District of
Colum bia. The evils growing out of the
existing law was brought to my notice
by a member of the bar of the District
and L directed the Attorney General to
make to me a report on the subject
From that report it appears that in the
past two years, there have been incor-
porated under the laws Of the District
2,211 companies, with total authorized
capital of nearly four billions of dollars
Many of the companies thus incorpor-
ated represent no actual investment and

WHITE MAN SHOOTS
AND KILLS HIS WIFE
Marion Earnest, Who Committed tbs
Crime Near Drfton, Has Not
Been Apprehended.

Jasper, January S0.-(Special) -Sheriff
j. S. Moore received a telegram this
afternoon from Drifton in the lower por-
ton of this county, stating that Marion
Earnest, a white man, had shot and kill
ed his wife near that place yesterday
afternoon.
No details of the killing could be OBJ
tained, but 1t is learned that Earnest was
under the influence of whisky at the time
he committed the deed. Earnests brother
and another man from the same commun-
ity were in Jasper today to procure
coffin for the dead woman, but nothing
definite as to the cause of the killing
could be learned from them. Earnest is
believed to be in hiding and Sheriff Moore
will make a determined effort to appre-
bend him.

on with alarming rapidity. On one day
of last week one person presented for
filing articles for the incorporation of
fourteen companies; another person pre-
scented for filing articles of incorpora-
ton for thirty-eight companies In each
of these the same persons were named
as trustees. The aggregate authorized
capital proposed for these thirty-eight
companies amounted to forty-three mill
lion dollars. On another day one person
presented for filing articles of ineorpor-
alton for fifty-four companies, in each
of which the same three persons were
named as trustees. The authorized cap
ital proposed for these companies was
over two hundred million dollars. The
attorney general concludes his report
with the statement that, THE law gov
erning the formation and control of cor
porations in the District of Columbia is
not, as 1t should be, a model of its kind,
but on the other hand, is hopelessly
vicious"
THE evil growing out of these laws is
Of such magnitude and the necessity for
action is so urgent that l recommend to
Congress their immediate consideration
of the subject. The case calls for the
most radical remedy. The right of in
corporation ought to be suspended at
once until Congress can devise proper
legislation for guarding its exercise.
Moreover measures ought to be taken
to annul the charters which have al
ready been issued. either by their direct
repeal If that be possible under the con-
stitution, or by what other Legislative ac-
ton may be deemed necessary. I doubt
not that Congress has already seen the
necessity for replacing these vicious in
corporation laws by those which are gov
erned by sounder principles. which will
forbid the issuance of stock or bonds in
excess of the actual investment and per-
NIT a proper public supervision When
such a law shall have been enacted. all
legitimate corporations which have been
formed under the existing law may read
lily be reincorporated.

PHYSICIANS WOUND FATAL.

SEEK AID OF BLACK BELT
BY Getting Seven or Eight Counties
Interested Which Adjoin Dallas
1t Is Felt That a Creditable
Exposition Can Be Given.

Selma, January S0.-(special)-M Mayor V.
B. Atkins and Councilman John G. Nor
ris will leave tomorrow for Atlanta to
make an investigation into the matter of
paid fire department, and also to con-
suit with the Southeastern Tariff associa-
ton officials as to reduction in rates upon
the installation of a paid department in
Selma and other improvements.
Selma IS now in the third class of
cities when it comes to insurance rates
and the desire is to have it put up one
notch into the second class. Mayor At
kins and his administration and the Com
mercial and Industrial association are
hard at work trying to achieve this end.
Sentiment for a County Fair.
Dallas county does not intend to be left
behind next fall when it comes to holding
an agricultural fair. The fact that both
Birmingham and Montgomery are going
to hold expositions next fall has stimu-
lated those interested to redoubled eff
forts for this section. Selma, the capital
of Dallas county is also the capital OF the
Black Belt and the purpose will be to
interest all that tier of counties west and
south of Selma, particularly Hale, Perry,
Marengo, Clarke, Wilcox and Monroe and
Lowndes counties if interested with Dali
las in the project would give to Selma
an exhibition of the highest grade.
The plan declared the most feasible
and which is being discusses is to form
a stock company with a paid in capital
of $4,000. Then solicit a bonus from the
merchants of about $500, this latter
amount to be used for premiums and adj
vertising. 1t is not thought there would
be a great deal of trouble in raising such
an amount. as Selma merchants have al
ways responded in the most liberal man
ner to such enterprises, recognizing that
they would receive their money back
many fold.
The matter hasn't reached the crystal
izing stage yet, but it is possible that
within a few days a mass meeting will
be called for the purpose of launching
the movement.
