Action Was Expected Here

The granting of the writ Of certiorari
by the supreme court occasioned no
surprise in st. Paul railroad circles,
for it was known that the Hartman
attorneys had been engaged for some
days in preparing the papers for a re-
view by the supreme court of the de-
cision dissolving the injunction obtain
ed by Mr.. Hartman. Col. r. IT. Will
kinson, general solicitor of the Great
Northern, said last night:
The effect of the granting of the writ
of certiorarl by the supreme court will be
to bring the record of the United States
circuit court of appeals for the Eastern
district in which the injunction granted
by Judge Bradford. of New Jersey, was
dissolved, before the supreme court for
review. The original injunction was
sought by Mr. Hartman, Mr. Winslow and
their associates to prevent the distribution
of the assets of the Northern Securities
company on the plan suggested by James
J. Hill and his associates. On appeal to
the United States circuit court for the
Eastern district, the Injunction granted in
New Jersey was dissolved. Should the
supreme court, after hearing arguments
Feb. 20, reverse the circuit court of ap-
peals, then the case will be remanded to
be heard on its merits. If the court of
appeals is sustained the litigation will be
practically ended. 1t is not probable that
any great delay will be occasioned by the

SUPREME COURT TO
REVIEW Big CASE
Petition for Writ of Certiorari
in Securities Suit IS
Granted

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 30.@The
supreme court of the United States
today granted the petition for writ
of certiorari in the case of e. II. Har-
riman and others versus the. Northern
Securities company. growing out of
the former decision of thescourt rela-
tive 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 Feb. 20.
after other cases on the calendar that
day.
The suit was brought to determine
the right of possession of GER
tain shares of the capital stock
of the Securities company. deliy-
cred to that company by Harri-
man and others in 1901, when the
merger of the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroads was
consummated. After the government
suit was decided against the merger,
the Securities company decided to dis
tribute the stock of each of the two
railroad companies among the stock
holders proportionately instead of CIV
ing to each one the stock originally
deposited by him, as Hartman claims
should have been done. Hartman and
his associates represent the Northern
Pacific stoekholders. and they repre-
sent $82. .491,s71, 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 pro-
hibiting the disposal of the Northern
Pacific stock The circuit court of
appeals for the Third circuit reversed
that decision, and it's decision would
have been final but for the decision
reached today to review the case.
Sharp Drop in Stocks
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The decision
of the supreme court to hear argu-
ment on the petition for writ of GER

course of that case. Weakness had
developed before. the courts action
was announced and became more
acute after noon. Northern Securities

ped to 1471z. Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific yielded over two
points and st. Paul nearly. two points.
The rest of the market was affected
in sympathy, but in moderate de-
gree and fell into dullness on mod
crate rally from the drop.
Counsel for the Hartman interests
made this statement:
The effect of the granting of our prayer
for writ of certiorari is to stay all ac-
ton under the decree of the court below.
The writ of certiorari supercedes the
opinion of the court below and the whole
case is now before the supreme court.
That court may render decision which
will dispose of the whole litigation, or 1T
may send it back for trial on the merits.
so that witnesses may be examined. So
far the case has only been heard on affi-
davit and the parties have not had the op-
portunity to orally examine and cross
examine witnesses and to produce the
books and documents.
President Hill, of the Northern Sc
curities company, said.
I do not believe that there will be much
delay by the court after arguments have
been made. Personally have no doubt
as to the outcome.
