CRAWF FORD ON THE STRIKE
The Senator Talks Freely on the
Troubles at the Gable Mines.
He Can see NJ Reason WHY the
Miners should Reb Ills
Per- OnaI Obs -rvatIOus

Senator W. F. Crawford. OF Taylor
Ridge, was in the city yesterday on his
way to Chicago. Il am going up on
business" be said, land also to see nv
sops who sre attending school there, and
incidentally l may run in on the meeting
OF the republican state central COMM
tee tomorrow. Business and pleasure
first and politics sfterward, you know ."
In conversation with an ARGUS reporter
the senator asked if there was ANYTHING
new from the coal miners strike at Gable,
and receiving an answer u the negative,
he said: We'll. do you know, l car Il
think what those miners are thinking
about. If they knew their own in
terests they wouldn't have struck. for |
know that they are treated better by the
Gable company than any other miners in
the state. The last year l was
in the house at Springfield. l was
member of the committee on mines
and mining, and l had made it point to
personally inspect every mine of impor
lance in the state. and 10 carefully inves-
tlgate the modes OF operation employed
by the comp MES and the treatment of
the men. My observations was that the
Gable miners were treated the best of
any in the state. Not only did they re-
ceive better pay and better treatment,
but the screens were made so that they
would work better advantage 10 the men
than at any of the mines near Springfield
| or elsewhere, so fsr as my examination
went. l was satisfied that the Gable
mines were not only better equipped, but
the interests OF the men were better
looked after than any other mines"

imperiously demanded. None but a very

MIR. Whitecar, however. meets its every

the approval which grpets him nightly is

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1892-07-22
BY THE COURT.

The authorities cited III the de-
cision appealed from are in our
opinion decisive of the position that
the president of corporation cam
not by virtue of his Office and with
out authority from the corporation
begin a suit IN the name Of the cor
poration. See also Wait VS.. Nash
VA Armory Association in the Cen
trail Law Journal, volume "a num-
Der 6.)
The authority to bring this suit is
rested by the plaintiffs counsel
upon the bylaw quoted in the
above opinion (by-law y which
gives the president the general
superintendence of the affairs of the
company" 1t is to be noticed that
the first part of the bylaw gives
specifically the power to the presi-
dent to sign all certificates of stock,
contracts, deeds, mortgages, leases,
promissory notes, bills OF exchange
and other written instruments of
the company which shall first have
been approved by the holders of
not less than three-fourths of the
shares present in person or repre-
sented by proxy at any meeting.
Bylaw 8 provides that no meeting
Of the stockholders shall be quail
fed to act unless two-thirds of the
shares shall be represented. Thus,
in order to enable the president to
do any of the specific acts enumer-
ated in bylaw ., he must have the
approval of the holders Of at least
three-fOurths of twO-thirds {: the
stock. The latter part of bylaw ,,
reading that he the presidPnt
.'subiect To the advice ahd control
OF three-fOurths of Ii" shares repre-
seated at any meeting, shall have
the general superintendent OF the
affairs OF the company" means that
the upcrintendence OF the affairs
OF the o0mpany by the president
must be with the approval of the
same proportion Of stockholders, /.
e., three-fOurths Of o.thirds Of
the whole number.
Acquiescence by the stockholders
in any act of the presidents gen.
eral superintendent may be
shown by any competent proof, and

ers, and we holding that the presi-

pOration by a suit? The charter
and bylaws of this corporation are
so peculiar, especially in not pro-
viding for directors, that we find no
/ presidents in the decided cases of
other courts to guide us. We are
therefore free TO decide this case
upon principle. The first part of
bylaw having SO explicitly cur.

A president Of a corporation is not author

A bylaw OF a corporation that its presi-

law without the approval of the stock
holders or proof of their acquiescence
or ratification of his act.

ASTRONOMERS NOT ALARMED.
The New Comet Said to BE Rapidly Re
ceding From the Earth.

The New Comet said to BE Rapidly Re-
ceding From the Earth.
Though astronomers and scientist might per-
haps welcome a collision between the earth and
he fiery mass which is whirling through space
and calling forth so much discussion from OBJ
servers of the heavens people generally are
perfectly satisfied with the existing condition
of the universe. and would much prefer that the
visitor should display himself at a respectful
distance and then retire into obscurity with
out even sending card in the shape of a shower
of meteoric stones.
Sensationalists have been attempting TO throw
the country into a state of panic by pre-
dieting that the comet which has recently
appeared in the heavens will collide with the
earth to the destruction of one or the
other. Some, as Prof. Swift. have con-
tented themselves with the prediction that
on the evening of the 27th Of this month soon
as darkness falls there will commence a rain of
fire which will be remembered for years. This
display" says Prof. Smith, lis not one of the
periodic ones alluded to before, bat is con-
nected with the appearance of the new comet"
But as vet the public have taken little stock in
these dire predictions aud the usual mutterings
about the baleful influences of comets have not
yet begun to appear.
1t is quite unfortunate that the local govern
ment officials are unable to give any personal
information regarding the new comet. The
instruments of the naval observatory are in the
process Of transportation from the old building
to the new, and consequently no observations
can be made. Professor Newcomb OF the
nautical almanac Office said to STAR reporter
this morning that he had no personal knowl-
edge regarding the comet. except that
which he has been able to CLEAN from the press.
From the most reliable sources" he said. lit
would seem that the correct conclusion is that
the comet has passed the point where it is
nearest to the earth and is now receding
from us. Prof. Boss and Prof. &. NJ.
Searle, both capable astronomers, be-
ieve this to be true. l requested that
some observations should be taken on
Saturday night at the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity observatory, but as vet 1 have heard
nothing from them" Prof. Searle has from
observations taken by himself at the Catholic
University undertaken to calculate the orbit Of
the comet if it is supposed to move in an clip
tic orbit of about five years. According TO his cal
culations the comet passed its perihelion about
two months ago at distance from the sun
about twice that of the earth and is now farther
from us than the sun is and is receding from US
and from the sun. at may also be remem-
bered,' Prof. Searle says. THAT a week ago the
comet could be easily seen by the naked eye,
but now only with some difficulty"

THE CRY FOR LIGHT.
Inspector Ford's Report on Recent G
plants About the Gas.

Inspector Fords' Report on Recent Com
plants About the Gas.
Somebody's ago Capt. Lusk, who has charge
Of the street-lighting department, forwarded to
the inspector Of gas and meters a number OF
complaints regarding the general unsatisfactory
quality Of gas supplied not only to the street
lamps but to private residences.
In his reply, which was received today, In
spector Ford says:
II have the honor, in reply. to say that at
this season Of the year the supply of gas is
factory, owing to the presence of napthaline in
the service pipes and meters. This is
fruitful source of complaint at times
amounting to over 100 a day. all asking for
light. This trouble applies to street lamps as
well as private consumers. Aside from the
trouble mentioned by the presence of hydro
carbon napthaline in the pipes and meters the
gas in the northwestern section Of the
city has been poor on several occasions
recently. atm told that the depressed condi-
ton of the illuminating power on Tuesday
afternoon, November Is, which was observed
featuring gas for the first time in a new water
gas plant that has been erected at the WASH
ington Gas Light Companys works, foot of
26th and G streets.
II may say in this connection that it is al
most an impossibiity under such circumstances
W PfcfeHs TIC ouWAssAou VI ar. tnlnk Wnen
this new apparatus is in good working order
the supply Of gas in the northwestern section
of the city will be much more satisfactory.
1.-The gas we receive at the laboratory, corner
10th and streets northwest, appears by pho
tometric tests to be Of high photogenic power
and should give a satisfactory light, barring
stoppages in the service pipes and meters,
which are purely and entirely local defects.
