The Big Merger Man Wins on
Appeal to United States
Supreme Court
Will Now Distribute Stock Of
N. P. in Manner to Best
Serve His Interests

Philadelphia, Jan. 4.-The United
States court of appeals for the Third
judicial district, in an opinion filed
here, reverses decision of the New
Jersey circuit court which restrained
the Northern Securities company from
distributing certain stock Of the North
ern Pacific
The decision is a defeat for the in
forests represented by E. H. Harri-
man. In decree of the New Jersey
court the Northern Securities COM
pany was restrained from disposing OF
370,230 shares of the common stock of
the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, alleged to have been received
from E. H. Hartman and Winslow S.
Pierce, and of 347,090 shares of the
common stock of the Northern Pacific
Railway company received by the
Northern Securities company from
the Northern Pacific Railway company.
The decision of the higher court, how
ever, gives the Northern Securities
company the right to dispose of the
stock. Hartman and Pierce, when the
Northern Securities company had
been declared by the United States
supreme court 10 De an lllegal COM
bination, demanded the return of the
original stock they had contributed at
the time Of the organization of the
combination. The Northern Securities
company, it was claimed, intended to
make q pro rata distribution of the
stock OF the contributing company.
The opinion was written by Judge
Dallas.
Judge George Gray Of Delaware filed
q dissenting decision.

The postal authorities are greatly
puzzled over the mysterious disappear
ance of a registered letter containing
$4,000 in cash. The letter was sent
by the First National bank OF Madison
and consigned to the Bank Of Ramona.
At Ramona the mail sack containing
the letter was delivered by Agent
Northrop to the Ramona carrier and
placed on dray preparatory to being
taken to the postoface. The mail sack
containing the registered letter re-
mained on the dray between Ave and
ten minutes before the carrier took
charge and conveyed 1t to the post
Office. The robbery must have been
committed at that time. Upon opening
the mail sack and distributing the mail
the postmaster found the off1cial letter

The next morning he discovered that
the mail sack had been cut open.
