V v t I i ! For North Caro lina: Fair, falling temperature. Vol. XI ument m- The Court Voluntarily Re moves the Limit Marty Questions Asked No Rebellion Says Mr. Rountree IIY T H OB A J. FJEN C2S Washington, April-.-.;- 14. Special. Counsel for the state of South Dakota fn the bond , suit instituted against North Carolina asKed the supreme court of the 'United States today to is tue a-decree foreclosing on the. state's s-tock in the North Carolina Railroad and apply the proceeds to meet the bonded indebtedness. The attorneys for the plaintiff, repre senting South Dakota and Schaffer Brothers of New York, urged :vith Si eat earnestness the sale of the stage's three million dollars worth of stoeik which is the majority interest nd' the application of the proceeds of sale first, to the first mqrtgage bondholders; and second to the second mortgage bondholders. This would -in-clujde the claim . of . Schaffer Brothers forj $250,000 with' interest," which would run their amount to half a million and rr.ore. Justice Harlan and several members of the court asked numerous questions about ' the contemplated,, sale of the state's, stock and the effect that such sale, would have. It cannot be denied that members of the court were appar ently disposed to view with some seri ousness this proposition to foreclose on North Carolina's interest in the North Carolina road.' Justice Harlan tisked Mr. Rountree if a state would ubide by a decision ina case of this kind. . .... ' " . "There is no state that . is disposed to Btart a rebellion," Mr. Rountree ob rerved. "At least I do not believe so," he. added. .' ' This was a serious side of the case that bobbed up during the argument ii" today and caused some of the friends i : ; ; ; : : j ' . . - -- .- - t v .-. -.-.., j . Am me!

The faX:t that the court He was questioned- one-fourth of his discussed this chase of th-i argument jitime by membersof- the -court. Mr. does not mean that any; .Of ' the i mem bers think that way. Certainly North Carolina's contention was ably pre sented during the day by the attorneys employed, to make the defense. - The argument was not completed to day; and -"will probably consume a greater part of the , court's time to morrow. As evidence of the fact that the I court is deeply ' Interested in the case Chief Justice Fuller voluntarily withdrew-. the limitation upon debate this, afternoon and informed counsel that they would have all.: the time they desfred. . This action Is most re markable and certainly unusual. It is seldom that an extension 'is made to 'the usual -four hours to which debate is limited. i v The debate was opened this morning by Wheeler H. Peckham, who was fol lowed by George Rountree". After the lunch hour ex-Gov. i Russell spoke, and iherj came ex-Judge Shepherd, who did not finish, but will conclude tomorrow morning. Each of the- four . gentlemen who addressed the court today spoke an hour. After Judge' Shepherd con cludes tomorrow he will be followed h ex?-Judge James H. Merrlmon. The complainant has the conclusion of de bate. Mr- Peckham will end the ar gument for South Dakota. , The court evinced a keen interest in the arguments presented today. Every one of "the justices, with' the exception of Messrs. McKenna ahd Peckham, bad questions to ask.

Peckham resumed his speech shortly after court convened st noon in behalf of South Dakota's contention. , After completing his re cital of the facts Mr. Peckham, eis cussed the law involved in the case. The stock owned by the state in the North Carolina railroad paid hand-; fomely, he said. , It not only paid- the' dividend on the first mortgage bonds, but yielded- a surplus ", to the state treasury.. ; After reciting-the history! and status of the bonds, Mr. ; Peck-: ham declared that ten of them were an absolute gift of Dakota without ny reservation. Not only did North Carolina pledge its faith to meet these' bonds when issued, the New York at-i torney declared, - but it . pledged the tock . of the North Carolina railroad, as security. . . ' " . Reverting to the subject of juris-1 diction, Mr. Peckham said this ques tlon was always raised in some formj cr other when one state sued another.! This court has decided as emphatically; a it can that a suit will lie when! brought by the United States against 'A itate, and yet it is claimed by the i. Irrt rr es other side that a state cannot be sued without first giving its consent. Nt is intimated by the other side that if South Dakota- had bought these tfonds the case would stand. -The state of Texas ' owns United States bonds. Could It not own North Carolina bonds T Is there anything to, "prevent a state from owning bonds promises to pay? There is nothing- in the constitution to prevent states from entering into con tracts with each other. The states of Minnesota and Nebraska require their State institutions to invest their sur plus in Massachusetts state bonds. Al though South ..Dakota, possesses " a ? com plete legal title to the bonds in ques tion it is claimed that she cannot hold them because the motives of the do fiors were ; wrong. I challenge my friends on the . other side to produce a Word in the record : to show that . the transaction was anything but real. There are numerous decisions which as sert that the motive , of a real trans action cannot be assailed. I ask that the stock of the state's interest in the Railroad be sold, that payment , be ap plied first the first - mortgage bonds, and secondly I ask that the balance remaining be applied to the payment of the demands of South Dakota and Other second mortgage bondholders. This court can enforce the sale of the stock of the North Carolina Railway nd the application of the payment 01 ihe proceeds to ( the bonded indebted ness. -.. . ' "I - - . j ' -"-i- ;- Justice Holmes asked a number of questions here relating .to the . identi fication of shares -of; stocks that were pledged as surety for the bonds. Mr. jPeckham admitted that, there were no identified shares pledged. He said it Iwould have -been impossible to identify 'them. His point .j was .that all the bond holders possessed an undivided interest in the stock. ; . . .-, . ".-.'. Justice :White wanted to know if there IwouTd not 'be a way .to satisfy the claims of .second mortgage bondhold ers without; selling stocks. Mr. Peck ham did not know,: but he would be glad for the court to suggest a way. j eoign fCountre for ?tiA mt Georgeltbuntree opened for the state i!n a very strong and able speech, deal- iRbuntree has such a -complete -mastery of his- subject 1 Jhat he acquitted him self most creditably. The speaker said he ,thought;NiafterJ the adoption of -the ; eleventh amendment and the decisions of this court . in ' numerous cases of a similar character, that the ingenuity of counsel for speculators in the dis credited and unrecognized public se curities of a state illegally issued was exhausted, ! but that, he was mistaken. This v?as ; an even bolder attempt to evade the V provisions of the " eleventh amendment. . . ( . Mr. Rountree said .North Carolina might have successfully demjurred to the bill of complaint, but that instead she had set up two defences in the an swer. First, it was contended that the court had no jurisdiction of the suit because the pleadings and proof ' show that It is' not a "controversy" within the meanfng of the judicial clauses of the constitution. Second, on the merits of the case there 'is- no valid mort gage. , Again the bonds were disposed of contrary to law.and the complainant is not entitled to the -protection of a purchaser for value in due course. Mr. Rouhtree said that we must look to the historical origin of the constitu tion in the consideration of this case. After considering ' this phase of . the case" the speaker said he was unable to find a single action where the court had taken jurisdiction in a suit brought by another state for debt, with the ex ception of the Chisholm case and the (Continued on second page.) i Ayr on " -I ', jSuit K Militarv Opinion of ;;K-;t5Bilip General Baldwin Will Be Ta- ken to Task for Express ing His Views Too Freely A Conveni- Washington, April 14.
