HARDWARE THIEF.
Broke krdkauer'S Front Window to
Accomplish His Purpose.

Some miscresnt broke one OF the
large plate glass panes in front of Kra-
kauer, Fork, and MOye's hardware
store last night.
The glass was broken with the intent
to rob the window where a large nnm-
ber OF costly guns and pistols and much
fine cutlery was placed for an .at-
tractive display.
After helping himself to several pis-
tolls, rifles, etc, the thief made off and
has not yet been captured. The same
window was broken one night several
months ago, no doubt by the same
party or parties.

Delaware. New Jersey stockholders
must meet in that state. T. The oiigi-
nal stock and transfer books. which
in a New Jersey corporation may be
kept in the state, may be kept in or
out of Delaware, in the discretion of
the company. 5. The examination of

more difficult under the Delaware law
than under the laws Of any other state.

compensation for servicves rendered,

LegaIiZing Fraud.

TN SUPPORT of his contention
before the Chicago trust con-
u ference that the people of one
state could not afford to rely
upon another state for regulation of
corporations Going an interstate bust
ness, Mr.. Bryan read a remarkable
letter from a trust company in Della =
ware outlining a condition of affairs
in that state which is certainly extra
ordinary The document is truly i'm
portant as an illustration of premedi-
tated carelessness in legislation.
Delaware some time ago decided to
compete with New Jersey for the fees
of men wishing to organize corpora
tions. To this end a commission was
appointed to study the New Jersey act
relating to Incorporation and in franz
ing the act intended to embody the
fruits of this study the commission evi-
IDENTIFY tried very earnestly to sur
pass the famous Jersey measure,
wherever possible, in lcniency to
the incorporators. The letter read
by Nlr Bryan compares the Delaware
with the New Jersey act and solicits
business in behalf of the former. In
the following salient provisions the
Delaware and New Jersey laws arc
substantially identical: / ANY three
persons may organize a corporation.
q 1t may engage in any lawful busi-
ness excepting banking. g. 1t may
purchase and deal in real or personal
property wherever situated, and to any
desired amount 8, 1t may be a mort =.
gagee or mortgagor. G. 1t may con-
duct business anywhere in the world.
T. Stock may be issued for property
purchased, and in Delaware for SER
vices rendered, and in the absence OF
fraud the judgment of the directors
as TO the value OF such property or
services is conclusive. 8. 1t may easily
wind up its affairs and dissolve itself.
Q. Its authorized capital stock need not
be subscribed for 10. The amount of
capital stock which 1t may issue is
unlimited H. 1t may file its certificate
Of incorporation and even begin bust
ness before any sum whatever is Daid
in. ~. 1t may have different cIasse
of stocks, with different privileges or
restrictions. -. Tho charter may be
easily amended. IA, Only one director
need be a resident of Delaware. IS.
Capital stock may be easily diminish
ed or increased. IL. The corporation
may be readily merged or consolidated
into other corporations, H. The in
corporators may or may not limit the
authority of the directors as to the
liabilities.
The Delaware aw,according Ia the let
ter possesses the following advantages:
l. The original fee fer Incorporation
is small-about three-quarters Of that
In New Jersey 2. The annual tax is
small-one-half of that in New Jersey.
