When man is changing his shirt,
And jabs his thumb In the plaster above,

How mad he gets when the button goes down,
Deep down, way down in his sock.

IAN R1cHMoND TERMINAL CONTEST

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL CONTEST
MFR. J. L. Rice has written letter to the
New York Herald concerning the recent
meeting of the stockholders ofthe Richmond
Terminal Company,in which he says:
"The statement that any compromise was
offered or suggested by myself or any of my
associates is absolutely false. The state
ment that I asked for 9 guarantee OF the
naymeut of the dividend on the preferred
stock ia too absurd to require refutation.
There was DO person present who could give
such guarantee had I even dreamed Of de-
maudipg it. The statement that asked for
minority representation on the Terminal
Board is pure fiction. Our movement
originated when we learned thai the Term
nal Board had borrowed the money to pay
the January dividend on the preferred stock
and the February interest on the collateral
trust bonds. Immediately thereupon large
number of the stockholders, fearing that
are petition Of such proceeding would forca
the company into bankruptcy and receiv-
er's hands, and knowing that the directors
themselves had but small interest in the
stock, we organized for the purpose self
protection, 1t was our aVowed object to
compel the present directors either to with
draw from the management of the properly
or to acquire q substantial interest in the
stock. l am assured by one of the highest
officers of the company that the present di-
rectors have increased their holdings to
$4,000 shares"
