NEW BOARDNAMED
PEOPLES Home Direc tors
Removed.
Attorney Shortridge Says the Pro.
ceedings Were in Open Viola.
tiOn of the Law.

The stockholders of the Peoples Home
Savings Bank met at the bank yesterday
and elected a new board OF directors. Out
of total of 10000 shares 9112 were repre-
sented, of which 7444 were voted to secure
the removal OF the old board. The new
board of directors Is as follows: George
Stone. S. P. Young. Rolla V. Watt. S. A.
Mcdonnell, |. l.. Merrill, John K. Hill
man and S. K. Thornton.
George Montgomery, member of the
old board, was present, holding proxies
fer Richard and Frank Mcdonald. He
voted the shares he represen ted on the
the cumulative plan for himself, but by
this means only received 7056 votes, as
against 1928 votes for each OF the other
members of the new board.
One of the strange features OF the cleo
ton was that the shares OF stock held by
DIR. Mcdonald were voted by proxy d-
rectly against the interests of his son.
Sam Nj. Shortridge, one OF the attorneys
Of the bank chosen by the old board. was
present during the election. aud protested
vigorously but vainly at what he termed the
"high-handed acts of the stockho lders." q
"ihe whole proceedings to my mind were
Illegal" said MIR. Shortrdge last evening.
In the first place the receiver absolutely
refused to produce the StOck6Ook as the
law provides. We simply had to take his
word for it that q ma jority of the stock was
represented. BY decision of the Supreme
Court of this State in 1888 1t was plainly
stated that at q meeting of stockho ders of
corporation nobody could vote whose
name and the amount of stock he held were
not registered in the stOckbOok. even
though he might have bought the stock the
day before the election and had the unreg-
lstered certificates in his pocket. In the
face OF this decision the receiver refuses to
produce the stock book, and we were left in
Ignorance as to who was actually entitled
to vote.
But the most ridiculous part of the
whole proceedings" continued Mr.. Snort
ridge, "was the manner in which the new
board was elected. The stockholders can
vassed the votes they could control and
found they did not have strength enough
to elect new board. What to do at first
they did not know. but in few minutes
they had devised a plan TO carry their
point They did nothing more nor less
than vote the 3440 shares of stock held BY
Dr. JennlngsoD, which they had many
times denounced as frauduently issued.
Mrs. bennington was present and voted
the stock that elected the new board"

MRS. CATHERWOOD EXCEPTs
She Will Oppose the Settlement of
keyeS' Account.

Mrs. Clara Catherwood means to have
her revenge out of w. S. Keyes for all the
lndignities he put upon her In connection
with her account as guardian of her in
competent sister, Miss Ella Hastings.
Having passed successfully through her
own trying ordeal. Mrs. Catherwood de-
manded similar account from W. S.
Keyes of his guardian ship of his daughter,
Azalea Keyes. who is the heiress of the
late Flora Keyes, another of the daugh-
ters Of the late Judge Hastings. Her re-
quest was granted, and in obedience 10 an
order of the court W. S. Keyes filed an
account some weeks ago.
This account Mrs. Catherwood changes,
as did her brOther-in-law hers. She filed
with the County Clerk yesterday no less
than fifty-three exceptions to the account.
These are based principally upon items
which Mrs. Catherwood thinks that het
brother-in-law as the father and conse-
quently the natural guardian of his ward
should bear himself as part of his daugh-
ter's support. These consist of items, So
for letters of guardianship, $40 for
masses tor MOTHER" cash for ward SIS
and so forth.
There is likely to be lively row when
the account comes up for settlement by
Judge Coffey.

CARNOT'S DEATH.
Italian Lecture on the
Assassination.
The Audience EnliVened the Dis.

ing Comments.

"Carnots Assassination" was the title
Of lecture given in Garibadi Hall yester-
day evening by A. A. Mobile, ex-editor of
La Vespa. So much information of a va
red character was conveyed in the course
of the address that the led sltri" placed
outside Italian stores where articles of
many kinds are found within might also
have been added to the title of the lecture.
Signor Mobiles words delighted the some
what slim audience. There were many
cries of "bravo" and ''malto bene" when
ever he made a poiut, and occasionally
when he hesitated to express a thought i'll a
manner that might wound the absent it
was interpreted into blunter language by
members of the audience. "Wno?" asked
the speaker with gentle sarcasm. when he
was alluding to the ssons for promoting
the recent meeting in Garibaldi Hall.

row without hesitation. And again when
the somewhat confused ending of that
meeting had been brought home by innuen-

being men toned, mem berS of the audien ce
not only proved that they knew who was
meant. but showed their knowledge of
the peoples business by crying ''crano
pagate (tbey were paid)"
SignOr Mobile, who did not incline to any
extreme views, opened his lecture by al
luding to the days when France had shed
her blood for the independence of Italy.
He then described the death of CarDot, to
which he said he should allude especially
In relation 10 the Italian colony of San
Francisco. The late president represented
the middle class, Santo represented the
extreme OF anarchy. Three anarchists
heads had rolled in the basket of the gull
lOtine In Paris while Carnot had been chief
magistrate, and to the anarchists he rep
resented power that might have saved
them, but did not.
Socialism and anarchy were defined, the
speaker declaring that the former studies
to ameli0rate the condition of the work
ingman. Anarchy has different ten
dencies. An anarchist does not reflect.
Anarchy has in view the destruction of all
order, law and government. / am not an
anarchist. l am a socialist with all my
heart, because | sympathize with the suf-
ferings of the poor; but l renounce the
means of those who seek to attain their
ends by violence. or the division of PROP
ertv."
The present strike was touched upon,
great sympathy being expressed for the
strikers both by the speaker and the audi
ence. The massacre of Argues Mortes was
described, and compared with the death of
the lamented PRESIDENT. and the protest of
the Italian colony of San Francisco was
declared to be most noble, but too hastily
taken up." The lecturer concluded By
stating that it would be better for his
hearers not to belong to any party in the
colony. MY advice Is, emancipate your
selves. from the Guelfs and the Ghibel-
lines"
