It is learned positively that one of the plans under consideration by one of the controlling interests in the Northern Securities Compan in canning out the decree of the United States Supreme Court, declaring the reai Northwestern merger illegal and at the same time leaving the harmon of interest between the Northwestirn railroads undisputed, contemplates the continued existence of the Northern Securities Corn-pan The company, as proposed this plan, will continue to hold either the Northern Pacific or the Great Northern stock hich was deposited in exchange for Northern Securities shares if, for example, it merely held the Great Northern shares, giving up its holdings of Northern Pacific, there would be no Question of Its holding the shares of two parallel and competing railroad companies, which the Supreme Court decision declares Is unlaw fuL It would be simpl a holding company for the shares of one railroad corn-pan.

The shares that are given up by the Northern Securities Company, say the Northern Pacific shares, could be turned over to voting trustee, quite like). In such an event. J. Morgan, and voting-trust certificates for their proportionate share in the Northen Pacific slock could be distributed to the Northern Securities stockholders, perhaps taking the nature of a dividend to those stockholders It has been suggested that perliaps plan would be adopted of h-vving two voting trustee" appointed, one to hold the stock of the Great Northern company and the other the stock of the Northern Pacific companv.

Officers of the Rock Island Company said to-day that after a careful study of the text of the decision they could not see how It would affect their interests, inasmuch as the decision Just handd down is based on the fact that tho Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads are parallel and competing roads and the lines of the Rock Island S3 stem are not parallel or competing. RepresentaUv es of other western railroads, however, point out that if all the lines now embraced In the Rock Island system are actually merged under the charter of the new holding company, there will be sveeral parallel and competing lines in this 8 stem.
