Washington, Jan. 7. Tho case of
Ilnnesota against tho Northern So-
rcurltlos, alleglng vlolaton of stato
vnb, and nsklng an injunction, was
opened In tho supremo court today. In
Js caso tho government has no di
et Interest Tho original Intention
ras to hear tho caso prior to hearing
ftho United States caso, which was re
cently argued, but, on tho request of
iwtornoy-Qenernl Douglas, of Minne
sota, tho caso was postponed until nf-
tor tho government caso, thus enabling
ilnnesota to take advantngo of thp
aasterful argument by Attorney-Con-
Bral Knox. Mlnnosdta today is repre
sented by Douglas and Attorneys
lunn, of St, Paul, and Wilson, of
llnncapolls. Tho 'Securities Is ropro-
Rented by Attornoys Bunn, Clough,
Johnson, Young and Glovor. Minne
sota demands an injunction to pre
vent tho Securities Company voting at
any meeting of tho stockholders of tho
Qroat Northern or Northern Pacific,
or participation in tho management
of tho two roads, or permitting any of
a offlcors to oxorclso control over tho
game, and from holding stock in olth-
ftompany. Ono of tho state's strong-
eat1 arguments Is that It still owns 3,-
R 60.000 acres of public land traversed
Ky $ho two railways, and that, undor
Jio morgor, tho roads would coaso
julldlng spurs into theso lands, thus
preventing an Increase in their valu
ation, and tho loss of taxes.
Tho securities counsel offers an ar-
firumont covering much of tho same
ground aB in tho caso of tho United
States against tha company. The
main contention is that consolidation
To nocossary to extond the trado of tho
Jnlted States to tho Orient, and that
it was essential to havo an Eastorn
rconnoctlon, which was secured
through tho Durllngton.

Charles B. Wade Cashier of
the Peidieton Bank Turns
Over All His Prop
erty Pendleton, Or., Jan. 7. Charles D.
Wado, for tho last soven years cashier
of tho First National bank of this city,
yo&torday executed tho papors where
by ho turned over nil his property in
terests to W. F. Matlock and T. C.
Taylor, to satisfy his creditors. It Is
estimated that Wado failed for $200,
000 or $250,000, although W. F. Mat
lock, one of tho trustees, says ho docs
not bollevo tho liabilities will exceed
$150,000.
' Mr. Wado has resigned his position
as cashlor of tho first National bank,
and Is at his homo, stricken with
nervous prostration.
Tho Wndo failure Is ono of the big
gest, and Involves tho greatest num
ber of peoplo of any falluro ever
schoduled In Pendleton. Whllo his
porsonal friends dcclaro tho estate will
pay out, tho general public is skeptic,
and fears aro entertained that 20
conts on tho dollar will be all that can
bo expected.
Wado was a heavy Investor in
Baker mlnos. Ho owned about $100,
000 in dolconda, and it was this that
ruined hjm. Ho had a deal on for
sovoral months for the snlo of this
property to Eastorn capitalists for $2,
500,000, but two weeks ago tho East
erners backed out, and Wado has been
forced to tho wall.
Tho news that ho had failed leaked
out Saturday, and Monday thoro was
a run on tho First National bank, of
which ho was cashlor. LovI'Ankony,
tho prosldont, was tolographed for, but
could not como. W. J. Furnish, of
tho Savings bank, was called home
from California, but tho bank soon
stopped tho run, when it assured tho
doposltors that Wade's business was
ontlroly soparato.
Wado was also a heavy stoekownor,
and had many ranches. Col. J. II.
Ilnloy Is recolvor, and C. H. Cnrtor is
nttornoy. Mrs. C. B. Wndo assigned
tho proporty In hor name along with
hor husband's. Thoy havo lived here
