A SIMPLE QUESTION.

In another part Of this issue Of the
News viii be found letter on Cooper
atlye associations We have received
others which we do not print because
this one covers the ground Of all, We
publish Il lest the writer's may think we
do not wish TO let their views be known.
The letter contains nothing new. The
Rochdale plan is we'll known to all stu
dents OF cooperation, and has been ex-
planned time and time again In the
Deseret News. The subject may prove
interesting to some readers who have
not become familiar with II SO we give
place to that communication
The occasion OF the correspondence Is
an editorial that appeared in the
News on April !, In answer to d
question from Iron county. We there
made II plain enough 10 anyone who
can read and understand a straight
legal proposition, that under the laws
OF Utah a corporation such as that
designed in Iron county, must provide
that each share Of the capital stock
shall have a vote on all matters per-
tanning to the business Of the corpora
ton. One Of our correspondents de-
nounces the provision in very strong
language The letter we print today
prcsumes that the society referred to,
proposes to organize under the Roch-
Gale plan. Both Of them stray from
the point OF our information and advice
and from the simple question propound-
ed.
The parties In Iron county said moth
Ing about any system different from
the common cooperative organizations
IN this State All they wanted to know
was whether Il would be valid, under
our laws, TO provide that no shareholder
should own more than $500 worth Of
stock at SIS a share, and that no mat
ter how much stock he held he should
only have one vote at any meeting. We
quoted the law as Il stands, and showed
that the first provision would hold good,
but the second would not, because the
law expressly provides to the contrary.
Explosives against the law will not
change It. Arguments drawn from the
old Rochdale system, or the California
plan, have no bearing upon H. Schemes
as to the gradual requirement Of one
share at 800 value are wide Of the
mark The question asked Of us was
based on q proposition for shares at SIS
each. the holder not to have mora than
$500 worth in ALL Our repli@ }were
straight TO the point. All the co lhents
Of our correspondents are irrelevant to
the subject The notion OF one OF them.
that our friends IN Iron county can
organize under the law on corporations,
and that then by mutual consent the
incorporators can violate the very law
under which they organize, and that the
courts would take their agreement as
superior to a statutory provision which
is mandatory, IS too feeble TO strike
with a serious answer. It is pity that
so many persons who wish TO appear in
print cannot conhne themselves 10 the
subject they attack or defend.

MAINE LAUNcHED.0
New BatileShip Given to the Waves at
Cramps Yards. 2

Philadelphia, July 30.-The battle
ship Maine, designed to be larger,
stronger and faster than her name
sake, whose shapeless mass still lies in
the harbor of Havana, has been sue
cessfully launched from the yards OF
the Cramp Ship & Engine Building
Company. One OF the largest crowds
that has ever seen a ship leave the
ways at Cramps yards was on hand,
and patriotism ran high as the ship
left her cradle. Kensington, where
the shipyard is located, took holi-
day, and attended the launching.
Thousands of persons from other parts
of the city were on hand, and as the
yard was thrown open to the public,
every vantage point in the confines
OF the place swarmed with humanity.
The weather was beautiful.
The state oof Maine was officially
represented by Governor Hill and
members of his staff. From Wash
ington came large number of naval
officers and others.
The Maine is 56 per cent finished.
Her keel was laid in April, 1899 and
the ship will be ready for transfer to

NSULTED THE FLAG
COLOMBIAN AUTHORITIES STOP
a GERMAN STEAMER.
Searched the Ship Against the Protest Of the
Captain and Arrested an Alleged Rebel
He Wrapped Himself in German Colors
fer Protection, but They We're Torn From

New York, July 31.-The Ham
burg-American line steamer Allie
gheny, which arrived here today, re-
ported that she was held in the har-
bor of Savanilla, Colombia, for u
hours. Passengers on the Allegh eny
report that Abel Murrillo was arrested
on the ship at Cartagenia and taken
ashore by the Colombian authorities.
Murrillo protested against his arrest,
alleging that he was entitled to the
protection of the German flag
When the vessel arrived at Carta-
genia she was ordered detained by the
authorities there. The captain pro-
tested that he was sailing under the
German flag, and no official OF Colom-
bia had a right to stop the vessel for
any purpose whatever. This protest
was unheeded, however, and search
was made for Murrilo, who was found
on deck. He declared he would not
be arrested, and running to one of the
ships masts, he seized the German
flag which was lying there and
wrapped it about him. Then he stood
forward and cried out
81 am under the protection Of the
German flag, and you have no right
to arrest me. "
According to the passengers on the
Allegheny, the Colombian officers,
Notwithstanding the protest, seized
the man and dragged him from the
vessel. According to a signed state.
ment made by three of the Allie
gheny's passengers, Murrillo left the
United States about four months ago
on passport signed by the Colom-
bian minister at Washington. On
his arrival at Sayanilla he was arrest
ed and taken to Bogota, where he was
released on the understanding that he
would sail on the first vessel for the
United States. This Murrillo did,
boarding the Allegheny at Savanilla.
He expressed fears that he would be
arrested at Cartagenia, and when the
vessel arrived at that port he refused
to go ashore when word was brought
that the governor wanted to see him.
His arrest followed.

arrest, saying it was against interna-
tional law. The ships clearance pa
pers were refused, and the statement
made that they would not be furnish

More officers came on board the YES
sci and went up to Murrillo, and,
tearing from him the dirty rag, as
they called the flag of Kaiser Will
helm, took the prisoner from the
ship. Neither the officers of the Allie
gheny nor officials of the line would
make any statement concerning the
arrest of Murrillo.

Miles landed in Guanica, three years

spirit. Plantations that went un-
worked for a long time are beginning
to show signs of prosperity. There is
more shipping in the harbor, and the
signs generally indicate better condi-
