MERGER UP TO
SUPREME COURT
Union Pacific Asked
Specific Decree.
for
The Court Took the Hatter of Dis-
tributing the Southern Facifie
Stock Under Advise-
ment. (Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON December 19. The Su-
preme Court of the United States today
took under advisement a combined motion
of the Government and the Union Pa-
cific Railroad attorneys for a more spe-
cific decree as to the rights of Cnlon
Pacific stockholders In the ordered dis-
tribution of the $126S50O0O worth of
Southern Pacific stock owned by the
Cnion Pacific Railroad Company. The
railroad attorneys want the I'mon Pacific
stockholders exclusively to be allowed to
buy the stock. The Government is op-
posed to such an exclusive privilege.
The railroad attorneys explained to the
court that they considered the only prac-
ticable method for the stock to be dis-
tributed without Irreparable Injury would
be for the I'nion Pacific Company to of-
fer the shares to its own shareholders pro
rata according to the amount of their
holdings; for purchase at a fair price or
to be distributed the same as a dividend
to the holders of Its stock entitled to a
dividend. They declare that the Attor-
ney General was opposed to such a plan.
Financial Disturbance.'
"The offering for sale upon the open
market of the Union Pacific's holding of
Southern Pacific shares aggregating
tl"M50.000 would not only Inflict great
injustice and irreparable damace upon the
Union Pacific and its shareholders but
also would cause a serious financial dis-
turbance by oversupplying the market de-
mand for securities of this character and
consequently depressing the price not
merely of the Southern Pacific owned by
the Union Pacific but also of the shares
of Southern Pacific held by others and
even of the securities of other corpora-
tions dealt in on the market during and
for a long period after the offering of
these Southern Pacific shares for sale"
declarea the papers filed.
The railroad attorneys argued that If
the Southern Pacific stock owned by the
Union Pacific was distributed among all
Union Pacific shareholders the "so-
called controlling interests" would get
only 8 per cent of the total capitalization
of the Southern Pacific company or "an
infinitesimal portion."
Attorney General filed a memorandum
with the court In opposition to the rail-
road plan attacking It as an unwise re-
striction upon the power conferred upon
the District Court. He expressed a will-
ingness that the Union Pacific stockhold-
ers sftould be permitted to share In the
distribution of the Southern Pacific stock
with the Southern Pacific stockholders.
No Clue to Ownership.
"The effect of a mere pro rata distri-
bution of the stock among the Union Pa-
cific stockholders" said Attorney General
Wlckershaw. "is wholly problematic!.
The stock lUts affords but little clew to
the real ownership. It is a well known
fact which an inspection of the stock i!st
confirms that large amounts of stock
stand on the books in the names of bank-
ing and brokerage houses It is true the
block is distributed among 22.000 holders
but Mrs. K. H. Harriman Kuhn Loeb
Co. and the directors of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company Including the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad Company rep-
resented on the board of directors by Mr.
Marvin Hughltt together held $41251000
of Its stock: 184 bankers and brokers each
holding 1000 shares or over hold $132-
787.800. Indeed S63 holders together hold
stock amounting to IK.2f9SCK or 62.3
per cent of tiie whole. It is only the re-
maining 1191500 of stock that is dis-
tributed among nearly 22.000 holders.
"The Southern Pacific stock aside from
that now hld by the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company in the hands of the
public amounts to $146.0406.10. This
amount Is distributed among upward of
16000 holder" -

DEVISING NEW
TRUST "LAWS
Wilson Studied Question
Several Hours.
Will Beoominend Amendments to
. New Jersey legislature Jose-
phus - Daniels Urged for
Postmaster General
iAssocialld Prtst Retort.) .
TRKNTON. X. J.. December IS. President-elect
Wilson pored studiously for
several hours here todav over the cor-
poration laws of New Jersey with a view
to recommending amendments to them
rio the legislature. After he had worked
most of the day in his capacity as Gov-
ernor he listened to a formal ape pal by
United States Senator Overman of Xorth
Carolina that Jcaephus HanlHs. Na-
tional Committeeman from that State for
nearlv 20 years be appointed Postmaster
General in the AVilson Cabinet. The
President-elect made no comment. lie
announced also that he would meet W.
J. Bryan for the first time since the
elertlcn on Saturday or Sunday either
at 1 renton or Princeton.
The Governor's day was concentrated
for the most part on the corporation
Question.
Charges by Roosevelt
Repeated charges were made during
the National campaign both by Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson that
Mr. Wilson had failed to put into effect
any legislation curbing trusts that were
chartered as New Jersey corporations.
Though his apponents devoted many
speeches to this argtimtjit Mr. Wilson
never made a speech of reply. Once he
telegraphed briefly to Senator O'Gorman
of New York however an answer that
was made public Jn which he declared
that as the State Legislature had been
Republican In one or both branches he
had been unable to put through his
promised program of reform. He added
also that evils complained of In con-
nection with the trusts mostly concerned
Federal jurisdiction.
The Governor took no further cogni-
sance of the question during the cam-
fiaign. telling his friends however that
le always had intended to inaugurate re-
form and would begin it if he could get
a Legislature that was Democratic in
both branches. His wish being fulfilled
the Governor started to work in earnest
today calling to his aid K.lwin Walker
chancellor of the State and Judge Ben-
nett Van Syckle. formerly of tho. State
Supreme. Court. These men. with Gov-
ernor Wilson will draft the new legis-
lation. Statutes Badly Complicated.
"We went over an infinite lot of de-
tail." said the Governor after he had
spent nearly two hours with them. "As
in all other cases the corporation Stat-
utes have been amended and added to
until they have become badly compli-
cated. We have to disentangle this
mass. Both Judge Van Syckel and
Chancellor Walker are experienced and
have had a lot to do with decisions re-
lating to the corporation laws so they
are valuable guides to me."
On National politics the President-elect
was most reticent. He had nothing to
say about his approaching visit with Mr.
Bryan and in recounting the events of
the day. passed quickly over the mention
of cabinet appointments.
"Senator Overman came with a gener-
ous lot of representations in support of
Mr. Daniels for the postmaster general-
ship" said the Governor and added ab-
rutly. "then Sam Gordon cut my hair."
Gordon Is the Governor's messenger at
the State House who has acted as bar-
ber to New Jersey Governors for a score
of years.
The name of Mr. Daniels urged for the
postmaster generalship Is the first that
is definitely known as having been con-
sidered bv Mr.. Wilson for ahy cabinet
office. Though Mr. Daniels- was close
to the Governor throughout the cam-
paign having been chairman of the ram-
paiKn committee on publicity he has not
teen the Governor since.
The Governor at dusk motored hack to
his home in Princeton aaying he ex-
pected to spend the evening with his
family.
BALKAN DELEGATES
EXPRESSED DISGUST
Peace Conference Was Again Ad-
journed Until Saturday to Await
Instructions for the Porte.
Associated Press Report.)
LONDON December 19. The peace
conference was in session only a short
time today. The Turkish delegates an-
nounced that fresh instructions had been
dispatched from Constantinople by spe-
cial courier therefore adjournment until
Saturday was taken by which time the
instructions should reach London.
News comes from the Ottoman capital
tonight that the Government Is empow-
ering its delegates to proceed with the
negotiations with the Greek as well as
the Balkan plenipotentiaries. This de-
cision tends towards peace as there bas
been a suspicion that the Turks were
maneuvering for time so that they might
strengthen their army.
The conference now Is exactly In the
same position as the Portsmouth confer-
ence after the first week's work. The
different parties are daily feeling the
way before striking a decisive blow.
Balkan Delegates Impatient.
After the sitting today some of the
Balkan delegates expressed disgust at the
way affairs were dragging while five
armies and three besieged towns were
enduring all the sufferings of war and the
respective countries were the prey of
desolation misery and death.
A Bulgarian delegate observed that the
Turks wtra much mistaken if they de-
layed the conference hoping to strengthen
their army with troops from Asia. These
reinforcements were chleflv composed of
undisciplined Bashl Bazoirks who would
prove a serious danger to the Turk.
In the meantlmo the allies are con-
centrating greater forces along the Tcha-
talja frontier to enable them if war Is
resumed to arrive at Constantinople
within a few days.
The prevailing opinion is that the vari-
ous postponements are aiming at Inter-
vention by the powers. Turkey hopes to
obtain better terms through the powers
some of whom have predominant Inter-
ests in the Ottoman Kmpire. Besides
Turkey would consider it less humiliat-
ing to cede territory on pressure from
the powers than at the command of those
Balkan States which were depicted to
the Musselman world until recently as
negligible quantities.
Dissatisfied With" Italian View.
The Balkan delegates especially the
Servians and Montenegrins express dis-
satisfaction with the statement made
Wednesday by Marquis Di San Gulllano.
tne Italian foreign minister concerning
the alms of the Triple Alliance and re-
mark that Italy had a unique position to-
ward the Balkan States.
The Greek proposals will be more com-
plicated than those of the other allies
because they Include the question of
capitulations which -Greece along among
the Balkan States enjoys in Turkey with
the great powers. The capitulations
originally imposed on Turkey by the re-
public in Genoa In 16u3 Include exemp-
tion from taxation for foreign subjects
special courts and other provisions..
Greece is ready to accept a clause In the
treaty with Turkey promising to re-
nounce the right to capitulations when
the others do the same. .
Another Greek delegate arrived today.
He brought Important papers to Premier
Veniselos. He is Rixo Ranage. whose
father the writer poet and archaeologist
was called "the Victor Hugo of Greece."

Peculiar Mishap to Houston Carpen-
ter Followed by Experiment
With Vitalitas.
As the result of a weakened condition
which effected his wrists as well as most
other portions of his body Mr. George W.
Laninan. a highly skilled well known and
popular Houston carpenter dropped a
timber upon his toes severely mashing
them. The accident Is of particular sig-
nificance in the light of subsequent de-
velopments. Mr. Lanman. whose home Is at 140$
Chenevcrt Street had this to say of the
accident and the events following:
"My wrists gave way -while I was lift-
ing a timber. 1 was in bad shape not fit
to work for I was all run down and out
of gear generally. 1 could hardly drive a
nail I was so weak. My toes were mashed
by the timber and that put me on the
shelf proper.- I had been taking a good
deal of medicine but It did not help. I
had heard about this Vitalitas that there
is so much in the papers about and I got
some of it. 'That was three weeks ago.
Since I started taking it 1 have gained
l i pounds got my strength back and feel
like 15 or 20 years had been rolled off of
me. This Vitalitas is the grandest
thing I have ever run across. It puts
new steam into a fellow and builds him
up from head to foot."

itas. it is Just as nature made it In the
