Some people will say manipulation.
Others will inquire without specify
ing-wiu look askance. The fact IS
that the Spreckels boys Rudolph
and Gus are having an interesting eN-
perience Hawaiian stock IS only SO
paid up on the 500 and has always
been means of speculation. In the mid
die of last winter Rudolph and Gus
had three-fOurths of all the stock OF
the corporation. Late in the winter
thew began selling at pretty good fig
ures. The stock has changed hands at
all the way from 10 cents to $3I. The
bows sold heavily. About April the
moys started in to break the market
obviously with the intent to put back
at low figures what they had sold IN
the winter time "On the rise. The
public had been informing itself. Inc
market was obstinate When the boys
went in to sell buyers were ready, but
were not paying quite so much as they
did in the winter When the boys went
in to buy there was a 'stiffenlng at
once. The boys tried the effects of toss
ing blocks of a thousand shares on the
market. 1t was no use They sim
ply had to quit And before they reach
ed the conclusion that the deal or cor
ner was a failure they had actually lost
control on the books. They had less
than a majority of the stock. They
have not a majority now. but were able
to control the meeting in May, as the
public did not wish to GUST directors
and officers who had been doing well,
The public" cumulated their votes and
put in one director. This makes four
Of the men of the boys" on the board.
There was held an annual and post
poned annual meeting, with the pro-
ject of increasing stock in the air all
the time There were also current
numerous stories plainly designed 10
bear the stock. The boys were hard
put. At the first session of the annual
meeting they went so far as to put up
a dummy" list of directors, but with
drew it at the second session. And they
are not done yet. Their plan now
seems to be TO push the increase Of
capita and to get all the new stock for
themselves through their four direc-
tors and to be once more in control.
Under the California law the four
directors will have a free hand in dis
posing of the new stock. That stock
cannot be issued, however, without the
authorization of twO-thirds of the pres
ent stock as voted. And the PROPOSE
ton must hang up for six months. \

j. c. HanIey Tells of the Action ut
St. Louis.

Yesterday ]. C. Hanley member of the ma
tional organization committee of the Peoples
party of this state returned from three-day
session of conference between the national
committee OF the Peoples party and the ma
tional organization committee Of the same
party. Said Mr.. Hanley last night:
The organization committee appointed ct
the Nashville conference July 4, 1897, as an
auxiliary national committee to act in call n5
national convention in the event that the
regular national committee, of which Sena or
Butler is the chairman, fails to do so. On
Nov. %, 1887 a meeting of the National Or
ganzaton committee was held at LaClede
Motel, st. Louis, and an address was issued
to the Populists Of the country, urging them
to remain true to their party and principles.
They also declared in favor Of an early ma
tlonal convention to nominate a candidate for
president and vice president, to occur early
In April, 1898. An invitation extended
also to Mr.. Buffers committee to meet with
the organization committee Jan. r. at st.
Louis. in conference to issue a call for the
national convention and arrange all details.
Two weeks or so before the Jan. u meeting
was to occur. Mr.. Butler the national chair
man, wrote J. H. Ferris, chairman of the
National Reform Press association, letter.
requesting him to call the meeting of Jan. II
off, and promising to use his influence to get
the national committee together and have the
organization committee abide by whatever
they would do. This proposition ignored
and the meeting took place as per schedule.
1T turned out that seventy-four members
Of the Butler committee were present in
person or By proxy, which consider
able over a majority of the COMM tee. The
sesS-on was a very lively one; the national
committeeman OF the South were most Wig
orous in their protest of the action OF Mr..
Builder, and urged the complete severance of
The committees present from the domination
of Butler and his fusion policy. This radical
step was opposed by the members of the
organization committee They maintained
that there was no necessity for such reyoiu-
toAary &C ion, they had already secured
co-trci OF the national committee.
The resolution severing the Butler COM
mi-tee was finally withdrawn by Mr.. Living
ston. of Missouri. member of the national
committee who introduced it. The address
ard resolutions were unanimously passed
amid coed feeling
The following propositions were referred
back to the people of the different states to
pass upon:
''First-To hold state conventions in every
state and elect national cJmmi .teemen and
also delegates to the national convention be-
fore May l. 1898.
"Second-What date do you favor for hold
lag national convention? July 4, 1898; May /,
1899. Feb. 22 1900?
Third-Do you favor a conference of the
ma ional comInit,e and the organization COM
mittee early in June to harmonic the fac
tons and outline the policy of the party in
the future?
The nation al committee met upon adjourn
ment of the join meeting and unanimously
Endorsed the action taken by the joint com
mittees"
