AS soon as the records were read
Senator Freeman, of Central Falls,
from the judiciary committee, reported
back an act asking for the repeal Of

company.
The report OF the committee, after re-
ceiving the early history of the corpo-
ration together with names of the pc
titioners for the charter and setting
for the charges made against the
corporation by the complainants. says
that the committee has given many
hearings and has carefully weighed all
testimony given by both the petitioners
and the officers and agents Of the COM
pany; il has also carefully examined
the circulars, pamphlets and other adj
Vertising matter issued by the Ameri-
can Investors company, and the COM
mittee has come To- the conclusion that
many of the allegations made by the
petitioners have been proved.
The committee. in its report, then
says that the power OF repeal has rare
ly. II ever. been exercised by the Cen
eral Assembly. but this is no argument
against it's validity. In this state the
good name of our state, and the general
reputation for strength ana integrity
of the corporations which ii has char

tee been used and in some instances

scrupulous persons in their attempts

Assembly to base it's action upon, and
the committee therefore recommends
that the prayer of the petitioners be
granted and lhe act calling for the re-
peal of the charter OF the American
Investors company be adopted.
The act as recommended by the COM
mittee was read and passed, and was

Quo warranto proceeding to deter.

nearly 1000 voting precincts in the state,
in all of which q recount is demanded.
1t is hoped to obtain the order for this
in two Or three days. It lie then OK
pected that the court will appoint q
board of canvassers in every county to
recount the vote and that this will take
about three weeks before returns are
made to Pierre. Then the republicans
think it will be q short job to GUST Gov.
Lee. But this suppositlon appears to be
all q republican jug-hsndled affair. They
overlook the fact that attorneys Of some
kind may be present at these recounts
and every change desired to be made
in counting ballots contested and these
contests and other proceedings have to
be argued out at length in court, which
may occupy the time of the supreme
court with its other business for months
