When the account of the alleged sal
airy grab was first given publicity the
expressions Of Misrepresentation of such a
course were many and most emphatic.
Theodore Bruback. who is a heavy
stakeholder, stated that he did not be-
lleve it, as he did not think that Mr..
Geddes would stoop TO such a thing;
c. Il. Loose, another stockholder was
of the opinion that the emoluments
were greatly in excess of the value of
the services rendered; Frank Knox was
of the opinion that the company had no
right TO rob the stockholders in this
way. provided the reports were true

a hold-up, While in this instance the
minority stockholders of the company
are practically at the mercy of the di-
rectory OF the. company, which hold a
controlling interest in the organization
There is but little if any doubt but
that the charge is true, as it has been
confirmed in many ways, and when &C

is believed that this high-handed out

beard of directors in allowing such
high salaries was Illegal, and that the

Then he turned his pockets inside

thoughtfully, then wrote this reply to
his challenger:
"Dear Jim: Yours received. |

but your friend tells me that shot is

in 'em these hard times. If, how:

pense in a mild sort of way. The Chron-
icle contains the following announcement
that j. G.. was in town:
"Mr. John Gary Evans, formerly the
Governor of South Carolina, but now re-
tired from political life for a time, was in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Evans was here
on a pure matter Of business. Recently
he and another gentleman Of the Palnet-

for the exalted place of Senator o: the
United States. How they Jared has al
ready been told in the papers.
"Over there in South Carolina they have
what they call campaigns, and all Of the
candidates go about together and make
long speeches, in which they tell good
things of themselves and bad ones on the
other fellow. Then, in a primary, in
which the colored population has no hand,
they leave the matter Of choice to the vo-
ters. Sometimes it happens that the vo-
ters don't think quite so much of one
candidate as that candidate thinks they
do, and so they retire him to private life

''There is also in South Carolina, as you
have perhaps heard, a Senator, whose
name is Tillman. He, too, was once Gov

he was much loved by his people

Senate. Now, Mr.. Tillman wears 81 Pc

is called by some a Stetson. 1t is the sort
of hat that most everybody in the South
wore before the war, and is the hat which
they always draw on a mans head when
they make pictures of Southern colonels
in the Northern funny papers. For a
long, long time Mr.. Evans was a close
friend of Senator Tillman, and he wore
clothes just like his. He wore clothes

Sobral's name to the war department to-
night, and unless Sobral can prove that
the investigation was conducted openly
and not in a secret manner, Il demand
will be made for his recall from this coun-
try.
The officials here have the evidence pat
