THE RANKIN TICKET SEATED.
INCIDENTALLY THE RIGHT OF THE STATE TO
AMEND CHARTER is UPHELD

Trenton. May % (SpeciaD.-Justice Van Sickel. OF
the Supreme Court filed opinion to-day in the
case OF the contested election OF directors OF the
Newark Library Association, which is a victory for
the faction which has been fighting to keep the
association from being absorbed by the New-Jersey
Historical Society. The Court holds invalid the
election of directors under the act OF 1891 which
changed the basis OF voting to one vote for each
share of stock. Thesorginal charter provided for
one vote for each share up to five. and one vote
for each additional five shares held by any one
stakeholder. The decision puts in office as directors
these who were voted for the ticket headed by
William Rankin. and Gusts those who were voted
for on the ticket headed by c. W. Rker.
The decision upholds the right OF the Legislature
to alter, suspend amend the charter of any cor
poratIon formed under the laws of the State where
public interests are involved, but holds that this
law does not apply to the present case which is
not Of public interest but is matter between the
stockholders themselves. The charter provision
to the manner of eecting directors is held to be
contract between the shareholders which the Legis
lature cannot impair.
