TESTIMONY ON CORPORATIONS
Lawyer stetson. Former Partner of
Ex-President Cleveland, Before
Industrial Commission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The industrial
commission today heard testimony of Francis
Lynde Stetson Of New York, former law
partner of ex-President Cleveland, and Ell
bert NJ. Gary president of the Federal Steel
company.
Nr. stetson advocated ~fullest Freedom OF
that persons having business with them
should learn to inquire concerning their re-
sponsibility Just as they would in deallns
with individuals. He deprecated tendency
toward paternalism and said legislation
could not make business men OF lunatlcs
and paupers.
He believed that all stockholders in any
company were entitled to know who their
co-owners were and for all purely public
corporations, such as railroads and insur-
ance companies, he suggested general pub
licity.
He recommended a general amendment
to corporation laws of the state authorizing
corporations to organize with power to issue
shares of capital stock without any nominal
or par value, and constituting merely
stated proportional part of the total cap
ital. He opposed national corporation la"
as useless and dangerous.
New Jerseys popularity as an incorpora'
| tion state he said, was due to the fact tina
taxes were low; to the immunity Of stock
| holders from personal liability and to th
fact that no limitation is put upon amoun
of Indebtedness a company may contract
Mr.. Gary explained the organization o
| the Federal Steel company, whose authorizes
capital stock is 5000 900, 900. of which almos
s1OO, ,0O0, 900 had been issued. He explaine
that the stock issued included the actua
book valuation of property owned by variou
plants, $45, 100000; cash capital, $40 900 600
increase in value of property not represente
on the books, $31 900; money advance
by ]. p. Morgan & Co.. bankers, who ha
engineered the consolidation, $14,00O,OO
The remaining stock had not been issue
and would not be for less than par value
cash. Morgan & Co., had received abo'
5000, 900 for their services in the transaction
He contended that the Federal Steel con
pany was not a trust, because the col
sttuent members OF 1t had never been riva
in business. Nor is it, he said, monopol
because 1t does not control the entire produ
: In any article.
In reply to questions he said the col
pany had never made any contributions
assist in political campaigns and lahore
e Of the various companies were free to do
= they might please in the matter of politics
i Referring to the tariff, Mr. Gary sa
= some protection was necessary, but 1t ne
S not be high enough to give a monopoly
r anyone He also said he did not believe I
o tariff had anything to do with the prese
d prices Of steel.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-10-20

The registration Of voters under the new
law began yesterday morning in Omaha and
South Omaha at o'clock and ended at
o'clock in the evening. There are only two
more days for Observation-Disclosures 81 and
November 4.
The first days registration shows total
far in excess of the first day of last years
registration--an evidence of deep interest in
the coming election. The figures indicate
that the republican vote is being fairly reg
istered. while that of the democrats and
populists is poorly represented
The total of the first days registration
in the city of Omaha was 6,0l6. with several
precincts of the Fifth, Sixth and Eighth
wards to hear from. The total of the first
days registration last year for the whole
city was 5,0S1. These figures show a healthy
increase in registration. In the precincts re-
ported were registered yesterday 392S repub-
licans, 1.16S democrats, 131 populists 40
silver republicans and no party Affiliations,
727.
In South Omaha 1,1O0 were registered, of
whom Ala were republicans, 40 democrats,
80 populists and 244 gave no party afilation.
The total registration of Omaha and South
Omaha will therefore be over 5000 when
all returns are in.
During the morning hours the registration
proceeded rather slowly, the real rush be-
ing deferred owing to the fact that the pros
porous days Of republican rule are upon us
and men are consequently employed
throughout the working hours. The regis
tration would have been larger had not the
stores and factories been working overtime
to fill orders, thus keeping employees away
from the booths.
Some misunderstanding arose in several
precincts over the location OF the places Of
registration. In the Third precinct of the
Ninth ward the registration officers moved
from Thirty-nint and Cunning streets to
Fortieth and Hamilton leaving sign at
the former place to designate the removal.
In the Seventh precinct of the Fourth ward
the booth was placed at Seventeenth and
Leavenworth instead OF at Eighteenth and
Leavenworth, as advertised. At this place
sign also had to be posted and the mistake
kept down the registration also in that pre-
| cinct.
All over the city where store buildings
| had been rented for registration places in
stead of the oldtime booths the accommo-
dations were generally quite acceptable.
one party IL IN aRPsE ward en-
/ Little difIcu1ty was experienced in OBJ
| tanning answers as to party affliation, those
| refusing to answer being small percentage
| The scarcity Of populists and alleged silver
| republicans was one Of the noteworthy fea-
| lures of the day.
The registrars are expected to send returns
| to the city clerk So that complete and Of
| ficial exhibit may be tabulated for public in
| formation. The figures by wards and pre-
cincts follow:

/ -AeJy Days, Including All branches
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. ia general
strike on the Great Northern will occur
within a very few days. 1t will include
conductors, engineers, firemen, brakemen
and switchmen and the men expect to tie
the road up from end to end. In the great
strike of five years ago the conductors held
aloof, but they have been brought into the
present trouble by recent order requiring
them to pay for bonds covering damages
to trains under their charge. The list of
grievances given by the men is long one
and they claim to have been unable to Sc
cure anything like satisfaction from the
management. Since last March grievance
committees have been almost constantly in
this city trying to reach some agreement
with the railway officials, but without re-
suit.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness Is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachlan Tube. When this
tube is intiam you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

At the Presbyterian Church

Sunday morning there was
communion service in the Presby-
terrain church, and the devoted
and beloved pastor, Rev. Jobp
Gordon Law, preached a most
excellent sermon from Song of
Solomon 10. The inspiring
words were: "The chlefest among
ten thousand" and from their
calculation and application to a
sin stricken world, came a mas
terly effort that moved his large
audience TO a thoughtful and Sc
rlous consideration of Christ as
"the chiefest among ten thous-
and, the mediator, the atoning
son of God and Savior of the
world. Mrs. Strunk OF Spring
Park was received as a member
of the church by letter and Mr..
f. g. B. Weihe by confession. A
large number of those present
partook of the Lords supper.
