Protection

Development
of
State Lands.
Washington. July 7.—The case of
Minnesota against the Northern Se
curities Company alleging violation
of the state laws and asking for m
injunction, opening in tho supreme
court today.
In this case the government has ><o
direct Interest. The original inten
tion was to bear this case prior to the
hearing ot the United States case,
which was recently argued, but on
request ot Attorney-General Douglas,
of Minnesota, the case was postpon
ed until after the government case,
thus enabling Minnesota to take ad
vantage of the masterful argument
by General Knox.
Minn«*sota is today represented bj
Attorneys Douglas and Munn, of St.
Paul, and Wilson, of Minneapolis. The
Securities Company is represent®«4
by Attorneys Bunn. Clough. Johnson
Young and Glover.
Injunction Demanded.
Minnesota demands an injunction
to prevent the Securities Company
voting at any meeting of the stock
holders of the Great Northern ot
Northern Pacific in participation fo:
the management of the two roads, oi
permitting any officers to exercise
control over the same, and from
holding stock in either company,
One of the state’s strongest argu
ments is that it still owns 3.000.000
acres of public land travers«d by the
two railroads, and that under the
merger the roads would cease build
ing spurs into these lands, thus pre
-veuting increase in valuation,
and
causing loss of taxes.
Defense's Argument.
Securities counsel offers an argu
ment covering much the same ground
as in the case of the United States
against the company. The main con
tention is that consolidation ia neces
sary to extend the trade of the Unite«.
States to tbe Orient, and that it u
essentia' to have an «-astern con
nection, which was secure through
the purchase of tKe Burlington.
Blockaoe Around tan Domingo.
Washington, Jan. «.—Minister Pow
ell cables the state department from
San Domingo that the provisional
government has established a block
ade of all ports save San Domingo
City, by means of sailing vessels ca
pable of firing solid shots only.
Ships sailing from the West Indie«
are given 20 days in which to clear,
while those from the United States
and European ports may take <5
days. It ia believed in Washington
this government will not recognize
the blockades.

Washington, Jan

Roosevelt be will have the undivided
republican support of New York in

state send a Roosevelt delegation to
the national convention,,but it could
be depended upon to give a mandsoms
majority at the fall election.
