VOL, XXIX NO. 4609 CHARLOTTE, N. C, MONDAY EVENING. JANUARY 1 I, 1804. PRICE: 3 CENTS ' ; ' - ' - " : ARGUMENT IK SUIT, SOUTH DAKOTA VS ITHC The Case now Before the Sup preme Court of of the Uni ted States A Complete History of This Interesting Case. Marion Buttler and Daniel Russell in the Fight Against North Carolina's Interests-Miss Darby Put ting up a Stiff Fight. (A. W. Hughes.) Washington, D. C, Jan. 10. The suit of South Dakota against the State of North Carolina, Charles Salter and Simon Rothschilds, reargument in which is now being heard by the Uni ted States Supreme Court, was brought for the purpose of having an accounting and adjudication of the in debtedness upon all the bonds of the States of North Carolina held by South Dakota, and to foreclose the liens upon the stock of North Caro lina in the North Carolina Railroad Company for the purpose of paying South Dakota and all others holding such bonds, secured by liens. The State of North Carolina owns stock in the North 'Carolina Railroad Company of the par value of three millions of dollars. There are out standing bonds, known as the first mortgage bonds, with a lien upon said stock, amounting to the par value of about two million seven hundred and twenty-three thousand dollars. The bonds held by the State of South Da kota were of the class issued under and by virtue of an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina, entitled "An act to incorporate the Western North Carolina Railroad Company," ratified the 15th day of February, 1855, and of an act amendatory there of, ratified the 19th day of December, l&66r-eatit4ed An act to enhance "the Talue"oriire"15(5h'dI"TO be Issued for the competion of the Western North Caro lina Railroad, and for other purposes," and amounted to about two million five hundred thousand dollars, the, by their terms fel due on July 1, 1897. At the time these bonds were au thorized and issued, no stock certifi cates had been issued to the State of North Carolina for her stock in the North Carolina Railroad Company, nor have any certificates ever been deliv ered, or set apart, or marked as mort gaged or pledged, as required by the Act of 1866. The lien, if any, by which the bonds held by the complainant State is se cured is a second mortgage lien upon the stock owned by the State of North Carolina in said railroad company. Charles Salter is the owner of a few o fthe bonds ofthe same class as those held by the complainant, and is made defendant as representative of the private bondholders. Simon Rothschilds is the owner of a few of the bonds secured by the first mortgage upon the State's stock in said railroad company, and is made defendant as representative of that class of bondholders who are all, so far as known, private individuals. In 1879, North Carolina, being over whelmed with debt, and unable to pay the interest on these bonds and the current expenses cf the government, passed an act appointing commission ers to adjust and compromise the State debt. This was done to a large UNLIMITED FUNDS FDR PROSECUTiOl The Victims of the Iroquois Disaster to be Avenged by Their Friends, who Com prise the Iroquois Memo rial Association. (By Associated Press.) Chicago, Jan. 11. Unlimited funds to f.id in prosecuting persons responsible for Iroo.uois fire have been pledged to the Iroquois Memorial Society com Isbd of relatives of the victims. The committee has also decided to establ sh a suitable memorial to commemorate the names of the, victims of the fire. The second week of the Iroquois the rtre fire inquest began today. For a few days the conorer will be forced to put the general public on the stand but vhen he gets through with it he in tends to start one of the closest in quiries into the workings of the buMd ing, police, fire and electrical depart ments of the city that they have ever known. The report of Attorney Faul lccrson of the fire department will show there was wilful negligence of safety of the patrons of the house. 0 AkOLIHA extent, and of the two million five hundred thousand dollars of bonded indebtedness similar to that held by the complainant, all but about two hundred and fifty bonds of the par value of two hundred and fifty thous and dollars were compromised and settled. Practically all bonds not compromised were owned, ' or controlled, by Simon Schafer and his brother Samuel Schafer, com posing the partnership and firm of. Schafer Eros., brokers, of New York city. Schafer Bros, having tried in vain by petition to the General As sembly of North Carolina and other wise, to secure better terms in the settlement of their bonds than those upon which the others were settled, Simon Schafer, - actij&g through Con gressman Burke, of South Dakota, made a donation cf ten out of the two hundred and fifty of the bonds held and controlled by him and his brother to the State of South Dakota. He had no interest, personal or pecuniary, in that State. The assignment or trans fer was made on the 21st day of Sep tember,' 1901, after the maturity of the bonds, and almost immediately thereafter this suit was brought, with out any demand upon or notice to the authorities cf the State of North Caro lina. - . The counsel for North Carolina, Hon. James Shepherd, Hen. James H. Merrimon, Hon. Robert D. Gilmer and George Rountree, have shown most clearly that the suit is the scheme or contrivance of a firm of New York brokers to enable them to do as the State of South Dakota what they could not do as individuals, that is, to bring suit against a State. Simon Schafer and his brother Sam uel Schafer, a firm of brokers in the city of New York, own and practically control all of the bonds of the class issued. Indeed, they purchased eight of these bonds after they had been sent to the State of North Carolina for refunding, and had been marked as cancelled. All of the bonds of this class are claimed to be secured by a lien upon , the State's stock, in the North Carolina Railroad Company, so that a foreclosure must.be on behalf of all the creditors. The Schafers de clined to accept the offer of the com promise made by the State of North Carolina, and which was accepted by the great majority of the holders of those bonds and which compromise alone enabled the State to resume the payment of the interest on its debt; they employed, directly or "indirectly, numerous counsel; they petitioned the General Assembly of North Carolina in March, 1901, to mase provision ior ; tne payment oi mese uonas, wmcii was rejected, and soon thereafter, to: wit, in the latter part of the month of March, 1901, an act was passed;ly the Legislature of South Dakota ' authori zing the acceptance by the State of donations, and ' empowering the Attorney-General to sue to collect the same, and that Mr. Marion Butler, at the time Senator from North Carolirfa, was spoken to in the fall of 1900, and became counsel for the Schafers as early as January, 1901, and induced his friend, Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, to use his influence to have this act passed; that the act came from the committee of which Mr. R. W. Stewart, solicitor for complainant, was a member; that Governor D. L. Russell, leading counsel of record for the individual bondholders, says in his testimony that he may have discussed with other lavyers the feasibility of assigning a portion of these bonds to a State in order to enable that State to sue and collect the bonds for the , other holders. Governor Russel further testifies that his impression is that Mr. Peck- ham counsel for South Dakota was employed or consulted with regard to these second mortgage bonds some time in March, 1901, and the bonds were not given to the State of South Dakota until September 21, 1901. It further apepars from the testi mony of Samuel Schafer that Simon Schafer was the member of the firm who had the active management of these bonds, and that he is dead; that he had no interest whatever in the State of South Dakota, financial or personal, and probably never had visited that State. That Simon Schafer gave ten out of a total of about two hundred and fifty of these bonds to the State of South Dakota because as he explained to his brother Samuel, when the latter objected to the gift of those bonds, the gift would probably inure to the benefit of their remaining bonds. It further appears that the bonds were delivered on Sep tember 21, 1901, through Congress man Burke. Mr. Burke says that Mr. Pettigrew induced him to use his influence to have the act passed, assuring him that other States had done so, and that the State of South Dakota might there by obtain donations, including some Southern bonds. It is evident that Mr, Pettigrew did not disclose much of the scheme to Mr. Burke, but did say that a suit on the bonds might be neces sary. Mr. Burke further says that in a conference between himself, Governor Herrie dand Colonel Stewart, before suit was brought, but he thinks after delivery of bonds, although not posi tive as to that, something was said about the necessity of a suit; that no demand was made by the authorities) of soutn jjaKota uyuu uu qih.uj ui .. ti.x- iu. r - e North Carolina " for the money, nor any effort made for ah adjustment of the claim, but almost immediately af ter the donation, suit was brought in Supreme Court against the State of North Carolina, and the first notice vhich the State had of the alleged ownership of the bonds was a state ment in the newspapers that applica tion had been made to file such a bill in the Supreme Court of the United States.

Sully the Cotton King to a News Man This Morning at the Southern Passenger Station Mr. Sully was en Route to New Orleans Where He Will Remain for Three or . Four Days but Will be in New York Saturday. "Cotton will sell for 17 cents by the first day of March." This bold and aggressive statement was made this morning " in Charlotte by no less a personage than Daniel J. Sully, who is at .the head of the banking and brokerage firm of Dan iel J. Sully & Co., of No. 41 Wall street, New York. Mr. Sully was'en route to New Or leans where he goes to spend a week with the cotton manipulators of that city. . V His coming was learned -..of -through a telegram to Mr. L. A. Dodsworth, which was received in Charlotte this morning. On the arrival of the Southern's Limited this morning ait 10:30 o'clock, a well groomed gentleman, stepped from the car and with his hands deep down in his overcoat pockets com menced walking up and down the length cf the train. In a few momenfe this same gentleman was conversing pleasantiy with Messrs. L. ,A. Dods- worth and Mr. John Van Landingham While talking he had ' in his hand a slip of paper that told in a few words the opening of the New 'York cotton market. Quick as a flash he withdrew from his pocket some telegraph blanks and commenced to write a essage. - "Who is that' gentleman?" asked a number of ptsople who were interested in the movements of the stranger. ., "Why," said one, "that is Daniel Sully, one of, the 'King Bees' on the New York Cotton Exchange. He can tell, if he will, how to place your money." "If that be true," said one, "let's draw nigh and get a tip.'. A tip from Sully is worth a barrel of money if he wants to give it straight." During this talk Mr. Sully contin ued to talk with the Charlotte gentle men, who quit their work to go to the train to hear what he thought of the market. About this time The News man ' walked up and Mr. Van Landingnam introduced the Cotton King. "Which way are you ' traveling ? asked the reporter. f "Oh! just going down to New Or ! leans for a brief stay. I shall remain there three or four days only, as I ' will be obliged to be in New York ' Saturday." si The reporter thought at once tnat hing would be doing in New turday and while he would have given almost anything to have asked what would require Mr. Sully's presence in the Metropolis, he desisted and allowed Mr. Sully to remark about the weather. To the pointed question as to what he thought of the cotton market Mr. Sully said he firmly believed that cot ton would sell for 17 cents by the first idah03f ve' statement coming from i a man who knows a great deal more about the cotton market than he tells, the New York, Liverpool and New Or leans exchanges, and, besides this, is now rated as one of the "big guns" in America's greatest city. But no one would consider him a very wealthy man. He is easily ap proached and has a decidedly pleas ant word for all. At the station this morning, he stood out in a drizznng raln talked business and the weather and then jumpsd his car as tne train Ued out for the South.
