ALLEGED CONSPIRATORS ARE SENT TO PRISON Arrest of Thirty Citizens Accused of Plotting Against the Haytien Government. PORT AU PRINCE, Haytl, March 10.— Advices received here from Aux Cayes announce that nearly thirty citizens, ac- cused of conspiring against the Haytlen Government, have been imprisoned there, and many others have sought refuge in various consulates. The other towns of Hayti are quiet. al_authorities have placed | German | concession, because the officers declined { and others, defendants, to test the legaii- ty of the alleged combination or merger of the two roads and others named in the bill. The action is brought under the act of July 2, 1890, known as the Sher- man anti-trust law. After reciting the fact that the North- ern Securities Company is a_corporation under the laws of the State of New Jersey, that the Great Northern was organized under the laws of the State of Minnesota and the North- ern Paci under the laws of the State of Wisconsin; and that the two last named companies are common catriers, doing an interstate business, and’ that these companies at and prior to the do« ing of the acts complained of owned and operated two eparate, independent, and competing lines of railway, aggregating over 5566 miles in length, tha petition goes on to say that they ‘‘werc the only transcontinental lines of rail- of States west of the Great Lakes, from the Great Lakes and the Mississippt River | to the Pacific Ocean, and were then en- | Baged in active competition with one axn i other for freight | and passenger trath. among the several States of tne United States, and between such States and for- eign countries, each system connecting at its eastern terminus, not only with lines of railway, but with lake and river | steamers to other States and to foreign | with seagoing and at its western terminals vessels to other States, Territories and possessions of the United States and to foreign countries.” A Virtual Consolidation. That prior to the year 1893 the Northera Pacific system was owned and operated by the Northern Pacific Railway Company, a corpo- ration organized unier certain acts of Con- grees, that during that year the company be- came’ insolvent and was placed in the hands of a receiver. While in this condition, awaii- ing foreclosure and sale, an arrangement was entered into between a majority of the bond- holders of the Northern Pacific Raflway Com- pany and the Great Northern Rafiway Com- pany for a virtual consolidation of the two and placing the control of the Northern Pacific sys- tem in the hands of the Great Northern. This arrangement contemplated the foreclcsure of the Northern Paciflc to a committee of bond- holders who should organize a new corpor: tion to be known as the Northern Pacific Rail- way Company. One-half of the capltal stock of the new company was turned over to the Great Northern Comsany, which fn tirn was to guarantee the bonds of the Northern Pacific Rallway Company. The carrying out of this arrangement was defeated by the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Pearsall against the Great Northern Railway Company, which was decided March 30, 1896, in which it was held that the practical effect would be the consolidation of twu parallel and competing lines of rallway and the giving to the defend- ant, the Great Northern Railway Company, a monopoly of all traffic in the northern haif of the State of Minnesota, as well as of all trans- continental traffic north of the lines of the Tnion Pacific, to the detriment of the public and in violation of the laws of the State of Minnesota. Zarly in the year 1001 the defendants, the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railway companfes, in contemplation of -the ultimate placing of the Great Northern and Northern ific systems under a common source of con- trol, united in the purchase of the total capital stock of the Chicago, Burlington and Quinicy Railway Company of Illinois, giving the jolat countries, to_the Northern Securitie: 10.—By , bonds of the Great Northern and Northern Pa- cific Rallway comanies. Control a Vast System. JIn this mannrer the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Raflway companies secured control of the vast system of lines known as the Burlinzton system, about 5000 miles in length. The attempt to turn over a controll- ing luterest of the Northern Pacific Rallway Company to the Great Northern having thus in the veur 1806 been defeated by a decision of the Supreme Court, the defendants, James J. Hill and his “assoclate stockholders of the Great Northern owning or controlling a.ma- jority of its stock, and the defendants, J. Pierpont Morgan and his associates, owning or controlling a majority of the stock of the Northern Pacific Company * * * entered inito an unlawful combination or conspiracy (o effect a virtual consolidation of the Northern Pacific_and Great Northern systems and to place restraint upon all competitive interstate and forelen trade or commerce carried on by them and to monopolize or attempt to monopo- lize the same and to suppress the competition theretofore existing between sald rallway sys- tems in same interstate and foreign trade or commerce, through the instrumentality and by the means following, to wit: A holding cor- poration, to be called the Northern Securitics ‘Ompany, was to be formed under the laws of New Jersey, with a capital stock of $400,000,- 000, to which in exchange for its own capital stock upon & certain basis and at a’ certain rate was to be turned over and transferred the canital stock or a controlling interest in the capital stock of each of the defendant rallway copr panies. In this manner tie individual stockholders of the ¢wo indenendent and competing rallway companies were to be eliminated and a single common stockholder, the Northern Securities Company, was to be substituted; the interest of the fndfvidual stockholders in the property and franchises of the two rallway com- panies was to- terminate, belng thus cons verted into an Interest in the property and franchises of the Northern Securities Com- pany, The individual stockholders of the Northern Pacific Comyany were no longer to hold an interest in the property or draw their dividends from the earnings of the Northern Pacific system, and the individual stockholders of the Great Northern Rallway Company were no longer to hold an interest in the property or draw thelr dividends from the earnings of the Great Northern system, but having ceased to be stockholders in the railway companies and having become stockholders in the holding cor- poration, both were to draw their dividends from the earnings of both eystems, collected and distributed by the holding corporation. In thie manner, tv making the stockholders of each system jointly interested in both sys- tems and by practically pooling the earnings of both systems for the benefit of the former stockholders of each and by vesting the selec- tion of the directors and officers of each sys- tem In a common body, to Wit: the holding corporation, with not only the power but the duty to pursue a policy which would promote the interests, not of one system at the expense of the other, but of both at the expense of the public, all inducement for competition between the two systems was to be removed, a/virtual consolidation effected and a monopoly of the Interstate and foreign commerce formerly car- ried on by the two systems as independent competitors established. Combination or Conmspiracy. In further pursuance of the unlawful combi- natlon or conspiracy aforesald, and solely as an instrumentality through which to effect the pur- poses thereof, on or about the 14th day of No- vember, 1901, the Northern Securities Company was organized by the election of a board of directors, and the selection of & president, James J. Hili, and other officers, who, with thelr assoclate stockholders of the Great North- ern Rallway Company, assigned and transferred Company a_large amount of the eapital stock of the Great North- ern Rallway Company, constituting acontroll- ing interest therein, and, complainant believes, a majority thereof upon the agreed basis of ex- change of $180 par value of the capital stock of the Northern Securities Company’ for each share of the eapital stock of the Great North- ¢m Rellway Company, and the defendant, J. Pierpont Morgan, and ‘his associate stockhold- ers of the Northern Pacific Raflway Company, assigned and transferrad to the defendant, the | from transfer for the stock of the Northern Se- | curities Company, and have purposely discour- | anized In good falth to purchase and pay for =3 panies independently and in free competition, One with the other, has been formed, and is In operation, and the defendants are thereby at- tempting to monopolize, and have monopolized, such interstate and foreign trade or commerce to the great and irreparable damage of the peo- Ple of the United States in derogation of their common rights and in_violation of the act of Congress of July 2, 1890, entited “An act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolles.’” Capital Stock Withheld. i If the defendant, the Northern Securities Company, has not acquired a large majority of | the capital stock of the defendant, the Great Northern Railway Company, it is because the individual defendants named and their asso- clates in the combination or . conspiracy as charged In this petition, or some of them, sfnce it became apparent that the legality of their corporate device for the merger of the stock of ‘competing rallroad lines through the instrumen- tality of a central or holding corporation would be assailed in the courts, have purposely with- i held, or caused to be withheld, a large amount of the capital stock of said railway company aged and prevented the transfer and exchange of such stock for the stock of the Northern Se- curities Company, all for. the purpose of con- cealing the real scope and object of the unlaw- ful combination or conspiracy, and of deceiving and misleading the State and Federal authori- ues and of furnishing a ground for the defense that the Northern Securities Company does not hold a clear majority of the stock of the Great Northern Railway Company. The Northern Securities Company was not or- the stocks of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific companfes. It was organized solely to incofporate the pooling of the stocks of the said companies and to carry into effect the unlawful combination or conspiracy aforesald. The Northern Securities Company {8 a mere depos- itory, custodian, holder and trustee for the stocks of the Great Northern and Northern Pa- cific companies, and its shares of stock are but beneficinl certificates issued against said rail- | road stocks to designate the interest of the holders In the pool. The Northern Securities Company does not have, and never had, any capital sufficient to warrant such a stupendous cperation. Its subscribed capital was but $30,000 and its authorized capital stock of | $400,000,000 is just sufficient, when all issued, | to represent and cover the exchange value of | substantially the entire stock of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific Railway compa- nies upon the basis and at the rate agreed upon, which is about §122,000,000 in excess of the combined capital stock of the two rallway companies taken at par. | If the Government fails to prevent the car- | rying out of this combination or conspiracy, not only will @ virtual consolidation of two com- peting transcontinental lines with the practical | pooling of their earnings be effected, and a mo- nopoly of the interstate and foreign commerce | formerly carried on by them as competitors be | created, and all effective competition between | ch lines dnd carrying of interstats and for- | elgn traffic be destroved, but thereafter, to ail | deeiring to use it, an available method will be | presented whereby through the corporate | scheme or device aforesaid the act of Congress | of July 2, 1890, may be circumvented and set | at naught, and all transcontinental lines, indeed | the entire railway systems of the country, may | :]eull:;e::idb merged and peSnsolidated, ' thus o at the absol : holding corporation.

He and a man named Hussey have been engaged in logging on Toba Inlet. The Indian was in their em- ploy. Last Friday afternoon Johnnie Tackum returned home from Read Island | with some boom chains. When some miles from Card’s and Hussey's camp, the In- dian shot at a man named Gallagher, also a logger, and the bullet took effect in his arm. On reaching the camp the Indian was seen by Card, who was in a canoe a short distance off shere, to beat his squaw on the head with a paddle till she fell to the ground dead. Arter that he chased Hussey Into the woods and Card heard several shots fired. Hussey was unarmed. The Indian then came running back, shouting that he had killed Hussey. Card commenced to reconnoiter. As he was approaching the shore the Indian came out from behind a tree and shot at him. The bullet first struck the water and glanced, entering the canoe and strik- | ing Card on the left leg, just above the| knee and penetrating to the groin. Not | daring to land, Card bound up his wound with a handkerchief, turned the canoe about and commenced to paddle for Hig- gins' lumber camp, a distance of fourteen miles down the inlet. Card was shot late in the afternoon, and what his sufferings were in paddling to Higgins' camp that night may never be known, as he is not yet out of danger. Bleeding constantly, Card never faltereq in his determination to reach Higgins' camp, and late at night he arrived there utterly exhausted. He was so weak from loss of blood that had he been forced to addle another half-mile he could not ave survived. At Higgins' camp, Card aroused the men, who took a small boat and started with him on the trip to Lund, a distance of thirty miles, shortly before midnight. From there the wounded man was brought to Vancouver. Those who know the Indian say that he is an extremely dangerous man. Ten years ago_he was sentenced to prison for six years for shooting a man, and if more evidence could have been obtained it is probable that he would have been hanged. Forger Harney Confesses.

C, March 10.—The tawny redskins who hunt/among the mountains around Fort George, 200 miles north of.the Cariboo gold district, have gone on the warpath against the handful of whites around the Hudson Bay sta- tion. The first news of the trouble came to-day in a dispatch to the Attorney Gen- eral in Victoria from E. L. Kepner, Hud- son Bay agent at Fort George, who had journeyed out to the telegraph station at Quesnelle to obtain military assistance. The dispatch explained that the Indians had been very troublesome all winter, and two weeks ago they made an open attack on the post. The factor and his assistant, named Cook, had been warned, and, hav- ing barricaded themselves, kept the Indi- ans away. No one was killed, although shots were fired by the white men and their helpers over the heads of the na- tives to scare them away. The Indians have had a hard winter, and refused to furnish pelts in trade. One Indian, bolder than the others, got inside and threatened to kill Kepner with an ax if he did not throw open the store to them. Finally Kepner got them quieted, and, leaving his . assistant In charge, started out for help. The superintendent of the provineial po- lice will personally lead a punitive expe- dition, and special constables are being sworn in to start with him at once. They will arrest the leaders of the Indians and arrange to feed the starving families. Napa to Have Electric Road. NAPA, March 10.—J. W. and H. F.
