PORTUGUESE IN COURT.
Squabble Over Right TO Hold OF
tice in Sugar Companv.

On the 10th Of January the Portu
guese Mill Company held two annua
meetings and two elections of officers
Now the two presidents, with their &C
compartment of officers and directors
are airing their difficulties before tn,
Supreme Court Business men usually
consider it a trif1e irregular and no
conducive TO their best interests to al
low two presidents and two boards o.
directors to hold office simultaneously
Various contingencies may arise, any
of which would be a menace to pros
perity.
There is great danger that one sci
will attempt to usurp the functions OF
the other. In that event, one president
can, of course, retire with what grace
he can summon and leave the other in
full possession of the field. A clause
could easily be inserted in the char
ter of the company to the effect that
should the usurper at any time be-
come incapacitated for work, he may
abdicate in favor of the second presi-
dent. 1t would make a pretty cere-
and free lunch, and the employees
could all be given a half-holiday in
honor of the event.
1t would seem that a plan of joint
control of Office has much to recon-
mend it. In that case the responsible
ity would be shared by both presi-
dents and a strict surveillance could
be exercised over all departments.
Probably the stockholders of the
Portuguese Mill Company had none OF
these ideas in mind when they held
their annual meeting in January, how
ever. 1t seems that Jose G.. Serrao. who
was president before the annual meet
ing was held, and who claims that he
is the only president now, had in his
possession three shares of stock. There
are 60 shares in all, and J. S. Canairo
held nine of the 81 shares that had
already been sold. Canairo's ambition
was to be president of the company.
With the prestige that accompanies
the possession of nine whole shares of
sugar stock, he had been able to secure
a following representing 10 other
shares.
The annual meeting was awaited
with great deal of pleasure. Accord
ing to calculation, the % shares gave
him a balance of power. But President
Serrao proposed to remain president.
The holders of the remaining shares
were allied to him, and meanwhile he
sold the three shares to friends of his,
and was elected president.
Canairo and his following remained
outside during the election. Then they
held separate meeting and CanairC
was elected president. The difficulty
arose over the three shares. Presi-
dent Canairo says the sale was illegal.
President Serrao says it wasn't Presi-
dent Canairo had a writ served on
President Serrao to prevent him from
conducting the business, and Judge
Hitchcock decided that a new election
should be held This arrangement
wasn't satisfactory, and as result the
Supreme Court sat all day yesterday
listening to the arguments of the OPP
posing attorneys. The Court will con-
tinue to listen today.

THE cH1LDREN's PARADE.

During the Jubilee there will be a
parade by the children. There will be
nothing, there could be nothing. more
beautiful, more appropriate. Every
thing should be done to make it a
grand success. In their solicitude for
| the welfare of the little ones some par
ents are rather averse to having their
children participate Their fears are
groundless, and the task of taking their
little ones to witness the parade will
entail quite as much, If not more. hard
ship upon the children who do not par
ticipate as upon those who do. The
children of this state have been taught
to honor their fathers and their moth
ers. that their lives may be long upon
the land which the Lord their God has
given them. That means that they
should also honor their fathers faith
eTs and their mothers mothers. And
that is just the purpose of this parade
of the children. The children who do
not honor their fathers and mothers.
and their grandfathers and grand
mothers, will. in all likelihood, dis
honor them.
One thing is certain: That those who
are descendants of the pioneers and
the early settlers. should have their
little children participate in the chill
dren's parade. There is no other way
in which they can so readily and ap-
propriately testify their respect for the
founders of the state. And if they do
not do it. it will seem strange indeed.
The children OF the pioneers used to
form in procession on the 24th of July,
and parade in honor of those who
founded Utah. and it was a beautiful
and eminently proper custom. Nothing
could be more fitting than a parade of
the children during the Jubilee that
commentaries the 5Oth anniversary of |
the arrival of the pioneers in Utah. A
parade of the children is a demonstra- |
tfon Of reverence for the fathers and
of love of country.

MIR. BRYAN AT CALDER,s PARK

1t is always a delight to hear Mr..
Bryan speak, and an opportunity will
be given today to all to hear him. He
will be at Calder's Park this after
noon at o'clock. He will speak under
the auspices of the Democratic com
mittee. but no one need think there
will be any offensive partisanship
about what he says, for there will not.
The event will be more in the nature
of a jollification than anything else.
The time appointed for Mr.. Bryan to
speak is such that it will not interfere
with the Witnessing of the unwilling of
the Pioneer monument. so that those
who desire to attend that most import
ant event can do so and still go to Cal
ders Park. There are now in the city
many thousands of people from vari-
Gus parts of the state. most of whom
cast their votes for Mr.. Bryan. and
they will be afforded an opportunity to
go and hear him speak, and to grasp
his manly, honest hand. No one who
has not heard him speak should miss
so favorable an opportunity, while those
who have heard him, will be glad to
hear him again. Go to Calder's Park
this afternoon.

LOOKING A LITTLE UGLY.

Thus far the striking coal miners
have conducted themselves in an ex-
emplary way and there has been no
indication that they would conduct
themselves in any other manner. But
now things are beginning to put on an
otner aspect Crusaders are going
ABOUT from mine to mine. endeavorine
TO get those miners who are still ar
work to quit. They are going in large
bodies and are headed by brass bands.
mus far they have committed no overt
act, but when men assemble in Iarge
numbers, form in professions and
march TO stirring music. it does nor
take long to get them into that mood
where a ready talker, with a hot head
can so infiame them that they are
ready for anything. Then, again. the
men are idle and each day they discuss
their wrongs. and they are real and
many, and as they discuss them. they
feel more and more aggrieved and are
more and more inclined to resort to
violence to obtain their rights. rs,e
men, with genuine grievances and very
little means with which to furnish their
FAMILIES bread, soon become danger
ous' for they soon become as a tinder-
oox that any chance spark may ignite.
Ihings do not look well so far as
the coal miners strike is concerned. If
they become desperate and there is the
customary storm after a time of calm.

OPERATIONS OF THE MINT.

The director of the PHILADELPHIA mint
has rendered his statement for the
hscal year just closed and it shows
that the actual losses due to metal
iurgical and coming operations have
been far less than the legal allowance
Tor wastage. This is usually the case.
for the allowance is large and It is
an easy matter 10 come within Fl hut
coming within ii has always been
heralded as a great thing when II was
very easy thing; in fact Il came to
De standing joke at last. The present
superintendent thinks it advisable 10
reduce the margin for wastage to a
proper degree, thus removing tempta-
ton to dishonesty on the part of en-
ployees, who are all we'll aware that
there is an undue margin in the allow
ance for wastage
Commenting on this subject the
Philadelphia Record says
When bullion is deposited in the mint
the deposit weigh clerk is permitted IN
throw Off certain per centage of
weight from each lot, depending some
what upon the character of the metal
II was notorious fact years ago that
the personal equation entering into the
amount of this deduction was a large
and variable quantity. The deposftor
or owner of the bullion was often
Ignorant of its value and was com
pletely at the mercy of the deposit
clerk, man VINO had occupied that
position for many years and who had
gradually acquired autocratic power
in his limited sphere. After the arrest
and conviction of this old employee for
stealing gold under his charge the law
relating 10 allowances on deposits
should have been modified. There is
little doubt that the actual loss on
wastage of gold and silver due to the
operations of the mint are
TO considerable degree neutralized by
the aggregation of accretion of small
quantities of the precious metals with
which the refining department of the
mint is not charged at all. There are
other sources Of gain, such as the dis
regarding of very small fractions in
the assay. The fact that these frac-
tons amount to a considerab BILE sum
is evident in the returns for the wear

surplus over and above all wastage al
