E. H. Hartman Loses Suit in
Which Northern Securities
Stock Is Cause of Action

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-The
United States Court of Appeals for the
Third Judicial District, in an opinion
filed here to-day, reverses decision
of the New Jersey Circuit Court, which
restrained the Northern Securities
Company from distributing certain
stock of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company. The decision is a defeat
for the interest represented by Z. h.
Hartman.
BY decree of the New Jersey court
the Northern Securities Company was
restrained from diSpoSing of ,32C
shares of the common stock of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company, al
legged to have been received from E. III.
Hartman and Winslow S. Pierce, and
of 347 ,090 shares of the common stock
of the Northern Pacific Railway Conn
pany received by the Northern Securi-
ties Company from the Northern Paci-
fic Company. To-day's decision, 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 to be an illegal combination, de-
manded 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 a pro rata
distribution of the stock of the con-
tributing companies. The opinion was
written by Judge Dallas.
NEW YORK, Jan. Be. III. Harri-
man, when shown the bulletin an
nouncing the decision Of the court in
the Northern Securities case, 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 us"
Hartman declined to say anything
further regarding the case.
j. j. Hill was seen at his office. He
said he was pleased, but not surprised
at the decision. There will pc no haste,
he said, in distributing the assets OF
the Northern Securities Company. He
was asked:
docs this mean a settlement?
why, yes, the court settles 1t.
Hill was asked whether there would
be meeting of the opposing interests
as a result of to-day's decision. He
said he knew of no reason for such a
meeting. Hill was reminded that Schiff
had appeared before the directors OF
the Northern Securities Company last
summer with a settlement proposition.
To this Hill replied that Schiff on that
occasion showed that he stood alone in
his attitude.

BERKELEY, Jan Am epidemic Of
robberies in the principal lodging

victims, too, that systematic cam
paign is being carried out by a daring
room thief in the college town, who
during the last few weeks has rified

ting quantity of jewelry, money and
other valuables.
Six of these affairs have been re-
ported to Marshal Kerns during the
last few days. Mrs. Alice Berry, re-
siding in the Golden Sheaf building on
Shattuck avenue, was robbed of a dia-
mond and opal ring, a gold ring and a
gold watch last Saturday afternoon.
She had left her room to go on the roof
of the building and in her absence the
valuables were taken. At about the
same time Mrs. Anna Hartley's room,
on the same floor, was rifled of guam
tity of silver. Mrs. Alice Gardner, in
the Thomas block on Center street, lost
a gold watch, several valuable rings
and a saving bank nearly full Of money
last Sunday night.
The room of Odachi Jeiku, a Jap
anese, In the Thomas block, was de-
spoiled of several articles the same
night, including small sum of money.
Millard Matthews, a grocery store
solicitor, with rooms in the Thomas
block, was robbed last week of a. num-
ber Of rings while he and his wife were
in Oakland. Gus Bernal, In the same
building, missed from his rooms recent

ADAMS STILL
IN The FIGHT
He Says He Will Stay With
Contest Until All Hope of
Success Has Disappeared

DENVER, Jan. 3.-At noon to-mor-
row the Legislature, which will settle
the gubernatorial contest between
Governor Peabody and Alva Adams,
will be called to order. 1t Is expected
that all of tomorrow will be required
for the work of organization and that
no action bearing on the governorship
will be taken.
1t is practically certain that the first
thing that will be done by the Senate
after it is in working order will be
the unseating of Senators Robert M.
Born of Alamosa and Daniel Healey
OF Leadyille. Their seats will be given
to the Republicans, James B. Dick
and Jesse Mcdonald. The latter is
Lieutenant Governor elect and will re-
tain his seat as Senator only until
such time as he is sworn into office
The makeup of the Legislature will
be at the opening tomorrow and with
Senate. Republicans, 10: Democrats,
Is: House, Republicans, Az; Democrats.
Is; on Joint ballot, Republicans S.,
Democrats 33.
No intimation was given by the Su-
preme Court this afternoon as to the
time when it would hand down it's de-
cision on the application of Alva
AudiilS 10 nave the DallOI BOXES USED
at the last election in this city ex-
amined, but by the attorneys on both
sides it is believed that announce
ment will be made by the court in the
morning.
The attorneys for Adams made this
morning strong effort to have the
inquiry confined to the ballot boxes
only, and urged that it be not extend
ed to the registration slips and the
poll books. An inquiry of this magni-
tude, they contended, would consume
the greater part of a year and would
entail expenses which could not at this
time be even estimated.
Attorney Hersey for the Republi-
cans, insisted that the full scope of the
alleged frauds could not be shown by
an examination of the ballot boxes
only, and declared that If Adams was
unable to endure half the expenses
of the inquiry the Republicans would
stand all the expense.
The Democratic plans are dependent
upon the line of action taken by the
Republicans, but Adams said to-day
that he would continue to fight until
there was absolutely no hope Of sue

SCOUTS STORY OF DIVINE
ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH
Professor Says 1t Is Result of Chemi-
cal Processes and Secret Will
Soon Be Known.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Hundreds of
University of Chicago medical students
gathered in the physiological lecture
room to-day and heard DR.. A. p. de
Mathews, professor of physiological
chemistry, declare that there was no
such thing as divine creation of
Eden.
The Bible references were taken for
naught by Professor de Mathews. The
story of the creation of Adam and
Eve, he declared, was mythical. He
refused to consider it. He stated his
belief that only real chemical forms,
acting under certain physical condi-
tions, could produce life. Said DR.. de
Mathews:
There is no such thing as a divine origin
of life. Life is on purely physical and
chemical basis Certain chemical substances
came together under certain physical condi-
tions and the result was life.
/ believe that 1t is possible to create life.
There is no doubt in my mind but that in a
short time real life will be produced. Won
derful advances have been made in physiolo-
gicai chemistry in the last decade. 1t is now
only question of q short time before some
scientist will discover the process Of the final
stage.

REVOKE ORDER
FOR MACHINES
Alameda County Supervisors
Rescind Action Because
of Contractors SlOWnesS
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call
1016 Broadway, Jan. 8.
Alameda County will not have vot-
ing machines-at least for some time
to come The Board of Supervisors to-
day revoked the contract that was en-
tered into more than year ago with
the Columbia Voting Machine Com
pany for 100 machines, and the ballot
machine question will have to be heard
all over again at some future time.
The Alameda County voting machine
case was Of interest to the entire State,
for here the Columbia Voting Machine
Company and the United States Stand
ard Voting Machine Company locked
horns for a contract involving little
less than $75,0 900. The United States
Standard was represented by Supreme
Court Clerk Frank c.. Jordan and the
Columbia was represented by State
Senator +. w. Leavitt- The latter ma
chine, while manufactured in Indiana,
is really an Oakland invention, having
been originated by a man named Chris
tensen, who was backed by Oakland
capital Jordan lost and Leavitt won,
and the Columbia machine was or
dered.
Then came a battle that did not end
until to-day. In the East there were
fnjunctions, suits for infringement of
patents, charges and counter charges,
the echoes of which were heard in Oak
land. Last October Supervisor H. D.
Rowe, who had opposed the Columbia
machine, presented a resolution revok-
ing the contract upon the ground that
the machines had not been supplied
within reasonable time. A state
ment was then made by the repre-
sentatives of the Columbia company to
the effect that they were tied up by
suits and offering to supply another
machine. Supervisor Rowe to-day
called up that resolution, and the vote
to revoke the unfulfilled contract was
unanimous.
What the Columbia people will do
in the future is still a question, as
they have made no statement of their
position.
The Board of Supervisors was or
ganized for the new year to-day BY
re-electing John Mitchell chairman and
reappointing all of the old committees.

OAKLAND, Jan. 3.-The Contra
Costa Water Company tonight,
through w. II. Chickering. its attorney,
submitted to the City Council letter
rejecting the Councils invitation to
place a valuation upon it's plant as a
preliminary move toward obtaining the
vote of the people on the question of
purchasing the system for municipal
water supply. The company's reasons
as set forth by Attorney Chickering
follow:
'I submit that by the terms of the
resolution the possible acquisition of
the Contra Costa plant is not to be sub
mitted to the voters unless the valua-
tion placed upon it by the company
shall not be deemed excessive by your
selves. That is, you, not the voters,
are to be the sole judges of value. This
value you have already determined TO
be a sum less than the company will
consent to accept. 1t therefore seems
unfair to the company to submit to
you, as Judges, a valuation which your
former action would compel you to re-
ject.'
AS a counter offer the company says
1t stands ready to join with the city in
