Mary Allen, who is implicated in the
delinquency of Georgianna Doyle
Sheriff Bayer has no authority outside

signature to the affidavit is false. He
does not accuse any one. as yet, of
signing his name. The affidavit sworn
to before Justice of Peace Samuel
Morgan stated that Georgianna Doyle
is 16 years of age. contrary to the fact
that she is but twelve. This is known

of dissolution proposed by the Union
Pacific railway to carry out the man
date of the supreme court of the
United States was sustained by the
court today, which held that the dis
tribution of stock of the Southern
Pacific to Union Pacific stockholders
did not carry out the dissolution ord
ers.
Justice Day, in stating the opinion
OF the court, said: The proposal to
distribute the stock among the share
holders of the Union Pacific, or to sell
the stock to such share holders, if
granted would in effect, transfer the
stock OF the Oregon Short Line, which
now holds it for the Union Pacific. to
the share holders who own and con-
troll the latter company. The court Is
Of the opinion that this distribution or
sale cannot be ordered. The ultimate
determination Of the affairs of a cor
poration rest with its stockholders and
arises from their power to choose
the governing board of directors. Aft
er such distribution as is now pro
posed, the stockholders of the Union
Pacific may dominate and control, not
only the Union Pacific, but the South
err Pacific company as well.
