complaint of O'Donovan Roasa to the
president that the state department had
refused a passport, it 10 learned that last
summer the man applied 90 the depart
ment for a passport in order that he
might return TO Great Britain.
Though Rosa had an apparently regular
set of naturalization papers, IL was found
upon examination that these were im-
properly issued, and that consequently
he never had been actually naturnliZ8d.
The defect was in point Of residence.
Therefore the state department refused
to issue q passport to him, but before the
decision had been reached Rossa became
impatient, visited England and returned
without a passport and without being
mOlested in any way

What the Statutes say on the subj ject-The
Santa Fe's Charter

What the Statutes say on the subj ject-The
santa Fe's Charter
Cumulative voting for directors and
trustees of corporations, about which
there is 50 much talk in connection with
the coming Santa Fe annual election on
Thursday, was authorized BY the state
legislature of 1881, and the law itself is
found in 1855, Of the general statutes, as
follows:
IN all elections for directors or trus-
tees of any Incorporate company each
shareholder shall have the right to cast
many votes IN the aggregate as
shall equal the number Of shares SO
held by him or her in said company
multiplied BY the mum Der of directors or
trustees to be elected at such election.
and each shareholder may cast the
whole number Of votes, either in person
or by proxy, for one candidate, and such
director or managers shall not be elected
IN any other manner: provided however.
that in the election Of directors or trus-
tees Of cooperative association, that
have or may hereafter by their bylaws
SO determine no stockhOlder shall be al
lowed to cast more than one vote, multi
pied by the number of directors or trus-
tees of any such association
The original charter to the Atchison
and Topeka Railroad company was
granted by the territorial legislature at
Lawrence in 1883, and according to that
charter in the election Of directors each
share was to have one vote by person or
by proxy.
One of the lawyers in the attorney
generals office says the election of Santa
Fe directors will come under the law
governing cumulative voting. Although
the original charter says nothing about
that system of voting, yet since the char
ter was granted the Santa Fe has come
under the general laws of Kansas as 4
corporation, and the general law provid-
ing for cumulative voting will no doubt
govern in this case if the minority share
holders make the proper kind Of q fight
