HOT GO TO MARS, THE MOON OR CANADA James J. Hill Says the Northern Securities Company Will Remain Here. WILL CONFORM TO LAW NEW YORK. March 13. James J. Hill, president of the Northern Securities Company, gave out the following statemnt to-day: "Vntil the full official conies of the opinions and decree of the Supreme Court have been received and our attorneys have had an opportunity to advise us as to our course of procedure, the officers of the company can make no further announcement than to declare their purpose to promptly and fully follow the law as now interpreted." In regard to the report that the Northern Securities Company of Canada was to be the successor of, the Northern Securities Company of the United States, President Hill was quoted to-day as saying: "We have as much notion of incorporating a company in Mars or the moon as in Canada. We Intend to conform with the law." The Northern Securities Company of Canada was granted a charter in 1902. . Its powers are very large and include the right to buy, control and operate railways as well as other enterprises both in Canada and the United States. The directors named in the bill, of incorporation were Canadians, but it was reported at the time that James J. Hill was Interested. This, however, is now denied. The charter is still in existence, although no step has been taken to cperate it in Canada. A dispatch from Montreal says: Vice president of the Forget Heat. Light and Power Company to-iay denied that he is responsible for the statement that the Northern Securities Company of Canada, which was granted a charter by the Dominion Parliament a year or so ago, is backed by the Hill interests, and is intended to replace the Northern Securities Company of the United States. He merely recalled the fact that such a charter had been obtained in Ottawa. He does not think the two companies have any connection whatever. The adjourned annual meeting of the Northern Pacific Railway was again adjourned to-day until May 17, no business being transacted. Practically all of Northern Pacific stock Is owned by the Northern Securities Company, which has been enjoined from voting this stock, hence tho repeated adjournments. Mr. Hill visited J. P. Morgan in the afternoon, nd tne two conferred for some time. Both declined to be Interviewed, but Mr. Hill stated that there was nothing new in the general situation. The strength and activity of Erie stocks In the market revived the old story of an entire holding company to take over either Great Northern or Northern Pacific. The story was pronounced absurd by representatives of the Northern Securities Company.

Allen Lewis, and organized classes which are now supplied by some of the students of De Pauw. At Anderson he was later an assistant pastor under the Rev. John Bickford. He here called at every house in the city, making practically a religious census of Anderson, and finding over 400 families, formerly connected with churches but who had drifted away. In the fall of ISM he went to Boston and .took up work in both theology and philosophy in Boston University. He soon showed remarkable interest and proficiency' in philosophical studies and became a favorite pupil of Prof. Borden 1. Bowne, v.-ho is deemed by many as a prince among philosophers.

He has been eagerly sought for as a professor of philosophy, but has preferred to remain in the pastorate for a season. In the building of churches lie has shown gTeat power.
