SOUTH CAROLINA DELEGATION
Seeks Renewal of Federal Aid for Its
State Militia
Washington, - June 30. Membersi of
the South Carolina delegation in Con
gress, accompanied, by! Brigadier Gen
eral Jones, ot tne South Carolina mi
litia, went to the .War Department to
day- to talk with Secretary; Garrison
about a, renewal of ? Federal aid to the
organized militia b f their State The
secretary informed his callers that if
Gdvernor Blease himself would make
application fox a contipuapce of Fed
eral support he would consider it.
Because of the dfiant attitude of
Governor Blease the War Department
recently ' announced that no . further
Federal assistance either in personnel
or equipment uwouldV be afforded the
muitia of South Carolina, Department
officials declared -at the time that Gov
ernor Blease -not, only ignored . the
standards of efficiency in the State
militia demanded -under the Dick law
as a-ondition of Federal aid. but had
announced .that- as commander-in-chief
of the State volunteer forces, he would
do what he pleased regardless of Fed
eral authority.-
7 Exchanges on the subject reached a
climax when the Governor wrote- Sec-
retary Garrison ; that he did not want
Federal aid, and would be glad to have
it Withdrawn. Then the order was- is
sued withdrawing- from South Carolina
the-1 Federal support- given Hhe organ'
izedhmilitia-of-all ' other- States and
territories. Since, that time Governor
Bleane has -given .no intimation that

before adiournment and is' to k be re

life insurance companies were not ex

tax and vigorous protests were-made
ny ail tne great mutual lue insurance
companies to the Finance committee
It was finally agreed by the commit
tee that the mutual companies not
conducted for profits should have
been exempted from the tax.
Senator Pomerene tonight made the
motion to striKe out tnis amenoment
and it was carried by a vote of 13 to
11. Because the caucus was so slimly
attended, members ; of the -committee
thought the matter should be present
ed to the full Democratic membership
and Senator Lewis, of Illinois, who
had voted for the Pomerene motion
moved to reconsider the matter. It
will be taken up again tomorrow.- .
Settlement of the' income section
will complete the entire tariff bill

were in the party, but it is thought
uiat iorty is a conservative estimate.
The boys were jumping1 up and down

and several others were pulled ashore.
Five- unconscious ' boys were brought
from the water, and two. of these final

COURT'S
THE
Federal Judges Approve Plans for Dissolution of Merger
as Presented by . Attorneys -Years of Litigation
Ended by Decision Proposal Meets WitK
President Wilson's Approval
St Paul, Minn., June 30. Federa
Judges Walter H. Sanborn, William
C Hook and Walter I. Smith, sitting
as the district court of the United
States for the District of Utah, ap
proved late today plans agreed upon
by the attorney general, and attorneys
lor the Union Pacific Railroad, and
the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific
merger, .nown as the Harriman com
bine, practically came to an end.
The decree signed today will be
come effective with its filing in the
-Federal Court at Salt Lake City,
which- probably, will take place next
Wednesday or Thursday.
: With the handing down of the final
decree years of litigation came to an
end. the first suit of the government
to- dissolve the merger having been
filed. at Salt Lake City m 1908.- ,
The decision today came as a -surprise.
There, was a, brief sparring
this morning at which the govern
ment was represented by G. Carrol
Todd, special assistant to the attorney
general, and the road by N. H. Loo
mis and H. W. Clarke.' The court
then took the case under advisement
A number of times the judges called
in attorneys for both sides to question
them , further, but there ' was no hint'
that a decree would be given today. . "
Shortly before 4. o'clock Judge San
born, ' presiding announced that the
court , had decided1 to enter a final de
cree 'approving the plan with only one
Important exception. This exception
was the naming of Louis O. 'Kraut-
hotf, of .New: York City, as a commis
sioner of the court to see to it that
the . letter and spirit of the plan : be
carried out. The court also directed
him to report to it from time to time.
In brief, the ' plan, . which has . the
approval of President - Wilson, pro
vides that the Union Pacific shall ex
change $38,000,000 ofv its $126,000,000
holdings in the Southern Pacific for
the - Pennsylvania Railroad's eptjre
holdings in- ' the Baltimore & Ohio

Union Pacific continuing as suctr,
may buy-any of the Southern Pacific
stock so sold, ; that, the transaction
should begin. November 1, 1913, and
if not complefeyby January 1st, 1916,
the court should direct the. disposition
of any Southern Paciflc stock remain
ing unsold. - . ; ,v v .- ' '
By the decision today the court dis
regarded the desire .of . the attorney
general that final decision be withheld
lor the .interposing, or. Objections oy
Interested parties, ,. to i which ; portion
pi tne attorney general s pian Mr,
Loomis made objection at the hear
ing today as unfair to" the road. - The
attorney general also had asked- in
this connection that there: be pubnea
tion of the plan as in ' the Amerioaji
Tobacco Company case, calling tne
attention of interested parties that ob
jection might be made, but tnis also
was overruled by tne nanamg aown
of the decree by the court.
We deem a decree of - dissolution
more necessary at the present time
than any other action, said Judge
Sanborn after announcing the decree.
The eoverhment however, in . the
Elan presented today ktid' approved
y the court,! "expressly, stipulated
that should ". ' an t ' illegal f fconditions
arise ( from jth-e exchangia' ' of 7 stocks'

ture interpretation oy tne courts ,01

would , have the" right "freely to, as
sail'f the ' arrangement. '

al Circuit Court for': the District of

the Eighth District was composed of
Judee Willis Van DeVanter. now on
the Supreme bench; Walter H. San

Leavenworth.
Elmer B. Adams. St Louis, was ap
pointed an examiner to take testimo
ny.- .witnesses were examinea in an
parts of the united atates, tne evi
dence was submitted to the Circuit
Court, and in October, 1910,-the case
wjas argued in St. Paul.
v,un,june Z4tn, a majority 01
the court decided that the case of the
cavern men t was not sustained, but
Jhdge Hook filed a dissenting opinion,1
holdings that tne merger or tne two
railway systems.''was a tiolation" of
the Sherman anti-trust law. The gov
ernment appealed the case, to the. S.u-
reme Court from the decision or tne
lrcuit Court and on December 1st,

After the first tentative, plan 01 dis
solution was presented to the court
at St. Louis, February 24th,' 1913, a
number of modes of - procedure pro-.
viding for untangling the .merger were
suggested - but : the objections .'were
raised against each. The principal
point upon which-the government and
irailroad : representatives were unable
to agree-was. the disposal of Union Pa
f.tflft hnldiners. . : of Southern -Pfteific
stock, amounting to 126,000,0t)0.
On April 21st, 1913,r representatives

.tore comment was. heard upon its re-'

General McReynolds towards1., the

that the plan marked a distinct de
parture m the dissolution' 01 offending
corporations under the Sherman anti
trust Jaw. Particularly was the , plan V.
compared with the Standard Oil and
Tobacco dissolution' decrees.
Supporters of the' administration t
pointed out that the plan avoided' the
.mistakes Of the former dissolution de-
crees in tnat it made it impossible, for
the stockholders : to exert ; the - re
straints on trade' forbidden to the 'cor
poration. In the Standard Oil and J
Tobacco decrees, they said, the stock- ,
holders were left free to :hold. stock !
