GUAJTI PLEASED CAPT. .71 CALL A Says the Island Is Very Beautiful and. Fertile Praise for the Governor. Washington, Jan. 14. Captain Mc- Calla. commanding the cruiser -Now ark, now in the Philippines, Iwu writ ten a letter to the chief of the Bureau of Navigation, in which he says: ; "On our way across the lacinc" found it necessary to stop at Guam for the purpose of coaling. The island is a very beautiful and fertile one and in the governor and his Assistant, tear ford, you seem to hare selected the right men for the places. All the ox ilcers of the station are doing their utmost to improve the condition; ,oX the people and in obtaining infonma tion which will make it better known. 1 feel sure that the governor is. err ceptionally well fitted for the. position and that his administration will bring great credit to the Navy De partment and will be satisfactory to the country. "As a sanitary measure," the neces sity of piping water from the jnoun tains to Agana and the adjoining .vil lages is pressing. By such an im provement the shallow wells, all of them contaminated, could be flJled.in end the health of the natives would be improved. Could you have seen four natives splitting two sticks of timber with two-handed saws as did, 1 am convinced you would have bought a steam saw with money out of your own pocket and dispatched them by the first conveyance. "Looking at the question at a pure ly commercial point of view, 1 feel satisfied that every dollar spent by the government in the island of Guam will be returned to our country-an hundred fold. If smili'ng if aces on the part of all whom we saw as the gov ernor drove ifrom the landing ,at Piti lo the caipnal and return, were an in dication of contentment and satisfac tion with the methodLs (recently adopt ed on the island, Then 1 am certain that the now administration is al ready most successful."

COURT GIVES ITS OPINION Case Not Up on Its Itlerlts and the Only JQTatter Passed Upon. Was "Whether Proper Evidence ,Tas Held Out for Court to Grant. Petitioner's Prayer Decision Will Not Affect the Ultimate Determination of the Case Norfolk, j Va., ' Jan. 15. Federal Judge Waddill today refused to grant the prayer of Thomas r Ryan, who sought .to enjoin the Williams syndi cate from, consolidating eighteen rail roads into ; the Greater Seaboard Air One. Ryan sought an injunction re straining the first consolidation of the Seaboard with the Florida Central & Peninsular and the Georgia & Ala bama, and the second to prevent the alleged illegal, sale by the directors of the Seaboard to one of their number, Mr. -Middendorf, of Baltimore, of sev enty nflve shares of stock owned by It in the Raleigh & Gaston Railroad. The decision of the court denies the injunction In both of these cases. '. The court said: ' "It should be borne in mind that the case is not 'being heard upon its mer its, and no intimation is imtended to be expressed herein upon any question of la;w or fact properly determinable at that time. The only matter now to be Considered is whether a proper case has; been made for granting the in junction upon, either of the two grounds urged. The rights of the par ties ultima'tely would in no manner be affected by, gran ting or refusing am 'VIn- the absence of an act of the legislature,1 contemplated consolidation cannot jbe entered Into. If no author ity exists to consolidlate, and this is conceded, ithen. merger cannot be. law fully entered jnto, and no damage can be sustained by the complainant as a: result .of defendant's effort to do a vain thang. . 'Further 'discussing this point, the court, sums.' ;uj its conclusions by an no'mctng.itha!t Inasmuch asit is de- niedunder oath that coasolidatioin is Intended or (xratemplated, the court would have no right to assume that such Is riot the,,-case, and thereifore .it would be idle in the court to grant an injunction restraining the doingoif an act which the defendants admit they cannot lawifully do, and which they assent' they have no intention of do ing. On the second ground upon which injunction is asked, namely, alleged Illegal sale of Raleigh & Gaston stock. 'Ihe-court held that reasons for this sale and its legality can only be set tied ' "when the case is determined on its merits.; . My conclusion," said the court, "is that circumstances do not justify granting the injunction asked, that the probability of damage to the complain ant ifrom failure to award injunction is at least no greater than injury like ly to result to defendants should it be awarded D. LauwTenee Groher, the only rep resentative olf Mr. Ryan present When the opinion was delivered, said: "We are not surprised at the refusal of the court to . restrain consolidation in view of the fact that the defendants deny any intention to take any. action along this line. If at should- tbecoinie manOfesit hereafter that they, are in clined to 'change their mind again in this particular we will give the court ancther opportunity of hearing this question in light of events which have transpired in the last few days. Nothing, however, can be done tin til Thursday j of this week, a t which -time an order in accordance with the opinion of. today will be entered, and it wm 'be time enougii tnen to aeter- mine what 'Mr. Ryan's future course will be. The decision, in so faT as it affects what we claim an illegal saie of. stock, jwill be appealed from." Thlat the case will n'ow go to the Court of ! Appeals appears certain, as nothing vital appears to have been settled by the decision itoday.

The quarterly meeting of the directors of the Geor gia & Alabama Railway was neia here today. Recent developments in the Seaboard system affairs were talked over informally.
