Madison, Wis., Jan. 25.—The state commissioner of banking has discov- ered a new kind of trust—a combina- tion of banks in the small towns of the Northwest. His annual report just given out asks for legislation to pre- vent such a combination. The report shows that there is a Minneapolis hold- ing company which holds the majority of the stock of forty banks in the small cities of Wisconsin, Iowa, Min- nesota and the Dakotas and that other similar holding companies are being formed. The commissioner believes that there is a serious danger for the general public in these banking trusts. Hold- ing companies, he says, cannot pay close attention to the individual banks and the risk through -defalcation of subordinate officials, not directly inter- ested in the concerns, he thinks, is greater than heretofore.

COURT ASKED T0 DISMISS Government's Prosecution of the Ter- minal Association of St. Louls, In ‘Which Much Testimony Was Taken; Has No Standing in the Highest Tribunal Because of the Action of the Circuit Court of Appeals. ‘Washington, Jan. 25.—Unable to get a decision from the courts as to ‘whether it is right or wrong the gov- ernment now stands a good chance of witnessing one of its trust prosecu- tions die an unnatural death. This unique case is the-suit of the government against the Terminal Railroad association of St. Louis and fourteen railroads, brought in the cir-| cuit court of St. Louis in 1905. The defendants were charged with com= bining for the purpose of controlling and restraining interstate commerce between the states of Missouri and Illinofs and other states and foreign countries. A special examiner was appointed. Much testimony was taken by him. Then, in an endeavor to expedite the suit, it is feared an anesthetic wag administered, from which the case may never recover entirely. Under the act of congress of Feb. 11, 1903, entitled “an act to expedite the hearing and determination” of suits - under the Sherman anti-trust act, the attorney general certified that the case was important. But that move failed in its purpose. As required by that act the suit was advanced and the four judges of the circuit presided over the final hear- ing. There were so many judges they could not agree. Two were in favor of granting some relief to the gov- ernment and two in favor of dismiss- icg the bill. Consequently on May 21, 1909, they handed down an order certifylng the case to the supremo court of the United States for review, in accordance with the so called “ox- pediting act.” Now Solicitor General Bowers has suggested to the court that it dismiss the certificate. He pointed out thaf in a recent opinion the court had held that any certification of an entire case without final judgment or decree or order determinative of the merits was an attempt to confer upon the court original jurisdiction. What fur- ther action will be taken in the cir- cuit court remains to be seen. IS~ ORDERED EXTRADITED 8wedish Scientiet Charged With Com- plicity in Bomb Outrages. London, Jan. 25.—Professor Martin Ekenburg, the Swedish scientist, who, on being arrested in London last fall, charged with- complicity in several bomb outrages in Sweden, became temporarily insane, was committed for extradition to Sweden.

Later the professor appeared to have recovered possession of his men- tal faculties and he was removed to Brixton jail. Two Killed in Shooting Affray. Bluefield, W.
