Mr.. Jesse B. Wilson, for many years
manager and president of the company, ad
vocated the bill, and offered the following
amendment thereto: THAT no manager,
officer or employe shall be permitted to
licit proxies or be competent to act or vote
proxies for the election of managers for
said company" Mr.. Wilson severely crIti-
cised the management of the company dur
ing the past few years of it's existence. de-
claring that an employe of the company
had held proxies amounting to about 30
per cent of the votes possible to be cast
He also said that three officials of the COM
pany hold proxies sufficient to elect OuSt
any one they desired to exclude and to elect
any one they might wish. Under Judge
Bradley's recent decision, declared Mr.. VII
son, no power on earth can touch the board
of managers except Congress by an enact
ment of some such bill as the one in ques-
tion bill he knew nothing of until told
Of 1t.
Replying to an inquiry Of Commissioner
Reach. Mr.. Wilson said proxies of dead
persons have been voted, and one TWO
persons in the room declared that Mr.. VIII
son had voted some of them himself. This
he Indignantly denied, and he denied en-
phatically the statement that most Of the
money loaned by the company to Its man
ayers had been loaned to him.
Mr.. Perry remarked that he had been
told that such was the case. and because OF
the standing of his informants believed that
Wilson had not appointed his sou to a po-
stion in the company, but was told by Mr..
Wilson that his son had been appointed by
NOrment.
