lam of the Ramsey county court has
granted the request of the State OF

, against the Great Northern railways
proposed $60.000.0OO increase of CAPT.
tai stock. All points made by the
state were sustained
The case came before the court on

defendant. during the tendency of the
action and until the further order Of
the court. from making a proposed in
crease Of it's capiti( stock without first

obtaining the consent of the railroad
and warehouse commission.
Injunction Is Granted.
| Judge Hallam granted an injunction
restraining the defendant from issuing
this stock without first securing the

4 commission.
The contention Of the state was
based on section 2S72 of the Revised
! Laws Of 1905. originally enacted as
chapter 265. General Laws of 1887.
The defendant contended that the
act of 1887 was in contravention of its
charter; that it was unconstitutional
as being delegation of legislative
, power to an administrative board;
that the act was repealed by chapter
227 Of the Laws Of 1889: that the re-
vised law appealed to had received a
practical construction both by the
state officials and the defendant ad.

Judge Hallam resolves these several
contentious against the defendant and
in favor of the state.
Judge Hallam. indorsing the regula.

says:
1.-The provident Issue of stock by a
railroad corporation is matter of

be value behind the stock and It has
the right to establish safeguards to
that end. This is all the act in cues.

Judge Hallam's decision is COM

handed down yesterday his order on

No Immunity Available.
Judge Morris disposes in short order
of the contention CT defendants coun.
sci, that under conditions existing the
alleged acts were not illegal. He
treats at length the contention that the
defendants were not amenable to pro.
secution. because the alleged acts
were committed after the Hepburn
law went into effect, measure which,
1t YVES argued, precluded prosecutions
Of offenses against former laws, unless
pending at tho time that the Hepburn
law went into effect, whereas, the
cases in point were brought after the
passage and approval 1. the Hepburn
law.

Judge Lochren does not agree in the
views CT the conclusion arrived at by
Judge Norris, but he does not file a
dissenting opinion, because he was sit

the law does not provide for more
than enc judge sitting in a hearing OF

COURTS TO PASS ON RATES.
Railroads Get an Injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates.

Ea,lroaos Get an injunction Against
Proposed Commodity Rates.
st. Paul, Jan. 26.-The ten railroads
operating in Minnesota secured at
noon yesterday from Judge Lochren,
in the Unitea States circuit court, a
temporary Injunction restraining the
Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission from enforcing the sched-
ule of commodity rates which the
commission ordered some time ago to
become effective yesterday.
1t is contended that the order of the
commission Is an interference with in.
terstate commerce. The effect of the
order, they aver would be to make
rates lower in Minnesota than in ad-
joining states. The consequence would
work discrimination in interstate
commerce. which would be unconsti-
tutional.
1t is contended that the proposed
rates are confiscatory, and therefore
repugnant to the Federal Constitution

Minnesota. The Minnesota railroad
commissioners are defendants in this
case, and the burden is on them to
show that the reduction they ordered
is not confscatory. At meeting of
the shippers association last night it
was decided that its attorneys should
try to have the association made q
party to the case.
If it is permitted to intervene 1t is

-FUEL AND FOOD FAMINE
10 ACUTE.

Sc. Paul, Jan. 26. - There seems to
be no let up on the billiards in North
Dakota. For three days now the snow
has swept over the praries in the face
Of q heavy gale. piling up monstrous
drifts over the entire section.
Although conditions were somewhat
better yesterday morning than they
had been for several days, the storm
broke out afresh last night, and, 1t lie.
reported. eliminated in the worst bliz.
card the residents Of the state have
ever seen.
All Traffic at standstill.
All traffic is at a standstill. It IL,
stated that on the Great Northern
! there is not train moving west OF
Grand Forks, N. D., and the 500 line
is completely out Of business. The
Northern Pacific, the officials claim,
Is making some slight progress on the
main line, and they have been able to,
get one or two trains through.
The drifts which are piling up are.
the biggest ever seen. In some places
entire farms are completely showed
over and the farmers. In order to reach
their barns and outhouses from their,
homes, are forced to tie ropes around
their waists and shovel themseles out
Of doors.
Snow Mountains High.
Nothing can be perceived for a dis.
lance of ten feet at times, SO thick ia.
the sleet. Snow banks have formed
which are veritable mountains.
The blizzard was still raging at
latest reports. At that time all traffic
was blocked in the stricken state, and
1t will be impossible to get it started
again until the storm abates. It is so
severe that men cannot venture out
in It.
Several reports have come in of
men who have tried to walk a few feet
in the face Of the storm and who have
been found frozen completely stiff.
Crisis In Fuel Famine.
Cars of provisions and fuel are be.
ing amassed at various places by all
Of the roads ready to be rushed to
North Dakota as soon as the condi-
lions will permit.
A crisis has been reached in the fuel
famine in North Dakota. From many
towns come reports that coal and wood
have been exhausted. Provisions are
almost out and there is sure, to be
great suffering before the roads can be-
opened up and relief furnished. Bust.
ness conditions have become COM
pletely demoralized.

FORFEIT CHARTER

ATTORNEY GENERAL BEGINS Ac-
TON IN THE STATE SUPREME
COURT.
COMPLETE VICTORY FOR STATE
PROPOSED seo,oco,ooo STOCK IN.
CREASE IS STOPPED az AN
INJUNCTION.
COMPLETE VICTORY FOR STATE

st. Paul, Jan. 27.-Attorney General
Young has commenced action In the
supreme court to forfeit the charter OF
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
rail,oad. The Great Northern Is hid
ing behind this charter in its fight
against the 4 per cent gross earnings
law. If the state can forfeit that char
ter there will be no question left about
the obligation of the Hill system to
pay the full per cent rate. The at
torney general also declares it his
purpose to retire large amount Of
stock issued at the time of the Great
Northern lease in 1890, which he
claims is water"
No Longer a Railroad.
The attorney generals ground for
action is that the Manitoba is no Ion
ger railroad; that the lease of 1890
ended its existence except as a legal
fiction.
The attorney general says:
Gross Earnings Tax.
1.-THE Great Northern has all along
claimed that 1t is exempt from the op-
GRAFTON of the gross earnings tax be-
cause it claims that the original char.
ter of the Minnesota h Pacific pro-
vided that it should never be called
upon to pay more than 3 per cent on
its gross earnings. The Manitoba
company claims to have acquired the
same immunity by purchase. We are
convinced that the speediesi way to
dispose of this claim to exemption is
to wipe out the Manitoba charter
and compel the Great Northern to pay
the 4 per cent tax the same as the
other roads.
If the state wins it,; suit the Great
Northern must pay an additional tax
amounting to $4,000 for 1905, about
$4,000 for 1906, and the stock of the
Great Northern company to an
amount not less than $19,OOO,OO0, all
paying z per cent dividends. will be-
come worthless.
