WHYTHEGREATTRUST
WK FORMED,
Feared Another Attack by Hostile
Interests —Their Lawyer Says
the Millionaires Had To
Depend on Themselves,
and Not Law.
Washington, December B.—Briefs in
behalf of the Northern Securities Com
pany and the Northern Pacttie Railway
company in the case of the United States
versus those two '•ompani s and the
Great Northern Company were filed in
ihe supreme court today. The brief of
the Securities company Is by George B.
Young. ;>nd that of the North rn Pacific
by C. W. Bunn.
Mr. Young's brief is a document of over
SOO pages and in it he traces minutely
the origin of the merger. The movement
for this consolidation he attributes large
ly to the raid in May, 1901, by hostile
Inter ets on Northern Pacific stock,
which it was considered most important
to prevent and says:
"The Union Pacific interests still held
about $37,000,000 of the North, i n Pa
cific common stock. Between one and two
millions w’re not held by either of ths
parties The loss of three millions from
he majority holdings might occur from
various causes and the attack just de
feated might be renewed with success
by the same or other assailants."
H ravs that jn this emergency Messrs.
Morgan and Hill saw clearly that they
must depend upon themselves and not
upon the law for protection. They had
every reason to believe, Mr Young con
tinues, that such a holding as that of tho
Union Paeitk in th- Northern Pacific
was not contrary to the anti-trust law ,
and "the fraction of the attorney general I
showed that this was also the opinion of '
that high offi -i.il. charged with the en- I
foreement of the anti-trust act."
The idea v ~s to form a trust com- '
party, but Mr Young ays that it was
quickly abandoned. The first thought was ,
to incorporate under the laws of Minae- '
«ota. but it was found Impracticable to '
•e ure an acccptabl • charter in that state
coi a .p.- ntiy the pap-rs were filed tn |
N. w Jersey
On th' question of • ons-olidation in the I
Securities Company. Mr. Young says:
Its ownership "t the duns of the two
railway companies, not mon. consolidates '.
ires, or the
■•VO companies or their property than:
ihe ownership of two pieces of real as- I
■ ate by the .-.ano person consolidates I
them or the title tu them."
He asserts:
'That th on! combination of which I
i-ere is any evidence is the eomblna- I
•lon formed in aid of commerce to lib- i
■ rot • 1 enlargi ind not to
.-•■.-train it. ar.l which lias liberated, pro-
ected. aid, d and enlarged it and has not
restrained and does not threaten to re- j
strain."
The brief of Mr. Bunn is an argument j
to show that the -..etion of the two rail- I
>oad companies did not come within the j
anti-trust . • Me saj:

Today’s session of the Alabama Metho
dist conference was more largely attend
ed than any previous session, a large
number of visitors having arrived tilts
morning and last night.
Rev. j. M. Dannely. speaking for J.
R. Saunders, of Pensacola, tendered to
the conference a steamer excursion upon
the bay on Saturday afternoon. A reso
lution was passed at the last conference
requiring the committee on memoirs to
prepare memoirs of tho wives of preach
ers who have died during the year. In
view of the possible embarrassment grow
ing out of this rule a motion was car
ried that the same be rescinded.
A communication was presented from
the North Alabama conferenie in whicii
they offer to treat with this confer, nee
with a view to uniting the educational
interests of the two bodies, especially in
the college at Gwen ton.
The bishop took up the class of the
fourth yea,- and the following bad their
characters passed and their examinations
approved:
Dow p. Slaughten. \V B. Bickerstaff.

ed deacons.

short, sbatp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied witli fluttering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite

me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse ail the time, and after trying many
remedies prescribed by phy-icians without

An Interview with a Well-Known

1 tom youth and prosperity, to pi'etnn.-
cie age and destitution, and then back

in tho brh f space of five years, are some
ot too unusua] facts in the life of Hugh

thy need of another stimulant, so I began
using cocaine with morphine, t continued
its use until i was unable to work. I
went about the streets of Atlanta—a.
physical wreck. I increased the amount
ol drugs i was taking until i was using
120 grains of morphine and 100 grains of
cocaine daily, j didn't know what it was
to sleep, and one or two meals a week
was as mueli as 1 ever ate. My condition
was such that when I failed to appear on
tho streets my friends would begin to
search tor my dead body.
"I had a few faithful true friends, at'l
they decided to lia.v.. me cured, if possi

Charges Against Swayne.
Mr. Lamar, democrat, of Florida, ris
ing to a question of privilege, after an
nouncing that he would offer a resolution,
in which would be embodied a joint reso-
I lution of tiie Florida legislature, said:
' "in pursuance of that joint resolu-
I tion, I desire to impeach Charles Swayne,
I judge of tli<’ United States district c ; .urt
for the northern district of Florida, with
high crimes and misdemeanors.’’
The resolution, after reciting in the pre
amble the resolution of the Florida legis
lature, says:
"Resolved. That the committee on tho
judiciary be dii ’cttd to Inquire and report
whether tiie action of the house Is requis
ite concerning the official mi.-: i.ndu t of
Charles Swayne, judge of the United
States district court for the northern dis
trict of Florida, and say whether said
judge has held terms of his court as
required by law. whether he has con
i tinuC'usly at.d persist' ntly absented him
; self from the said state, and whether
I his acts and omissions in Ids office ot
judge have beet: sueh a-s in any degree
to deprive the people of that district ot
the benefits of tho court therein to
amount to a denial of justice; whether
the said judge has been guilty of cor
rupt conduct in office and whether ills
administration of his office his resulted
in injury and wrong to litigants of his
court.’’
Tho resolution further authorizes the
judiciary committee to send for persons
and papers and to do other things cs
: sential to the Investigation.
