T TIE MERGER Hill Wins Unqualified Victory in Case of .State of Minnesota Vs. The Northern Securities Company. Decision Holds That Secuiritles Company Was Not Formed to Control Majority of Stock of the Two Roads, or That Either Road Was a Party to the Formation of the Securities Company. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 1. A decision was handed down this morning In the case of tho State of Minnesota vs. The Northern Securities Compa ny, by which tho promoters of tho merger gain the suit. James J. Hill's victory Is comprehenslvo and substantial. Tho decision wns filed this morning by Judge William Lccron of tho United States circuit court. The state loses on every point it made against tho merger. The decision Is a sweeping victory for the owners of the securities, and Great Northern and Northern Pacific stocks. The court holds that tho evidence falls to show that tho Securities Com pany was formed for tho purpose of holding a majority of the Great North ern as well as Northern Pacific stock. The state anti-trust act Is practically a copy of the Sherman act, and re lates only to railroads, and the Se curities Company Is not a railroad. Neither road wns a party to forming tho Securities Company. Jndgo I.ocron says: "The Securities Company Is but an Investment of stockholders In railways without power to consolidate them, or to In terfere with their management or control. That Is my Judgment, and It leads ino to the conclusion that none of the 'lefendants have violated the Minnesota anti-trust act. "The conclusion Is apparently con trary to the case of the United Stntes vs. Tho Northern Securities, but tho right of litigants and my own sense of duty alike renulro this decision. "A decree Is perforco entered dis missing the stato's bill of complaint." Effect on Stocks. New York, Aug. 1. Northern Se curities stock advanced four points to 93'i, then reacted to !I0. Forty thousand shares changed hands. TO SET ASIDE A WILL. NATIVE OREGON PRODUCTS. Alleged That the Document Was Made by One of Unsound Mind. John H. Morrison, Richard Morri son and Graro E.
