July 30, Of the Colorado members OF the
board of directors Of the Colorado
Fuel & Iron company the bylaws We're
90 amended that promises held by John
w. Gates and his associates may be
thrown out ut the annual election.
The chairman Of the meeting appoints
tellers empowered to pass UPON the
proxies as they are presented, being
practically a committee on credentials
and as the tellers win be Osgood men, 1t
Is alleged they will reject votes sup
porting Gates. Gates asks the court to
order that a chairman be selected by a
majority OF votes.
The gist OF the claims Of the Osgood
faction, as presented by Judge Beaman,
Is as follows;
Sixty bonalde votes held by ChalE-
man Osgood end his friends represent
the majority Of the real holders of Fuel
and Iron stock. A majority
OF the proxies held by John
w. Gates represent gambling
class not permanently interested In the
company and secured by Mr.. Gates by
actual payment OF money. This is con-
trary to the laws Of New York. Some
Of the proxies may be forgeries and,
in any event the list is illegal and
should be thrown out Mr.. Osgood has
repeatedly refused to conspire with
Gates in turning the company over to
the steel trust, and thus incurred the Ill
will OF Mr.. Gates
Arguments were concluded shortly
before p. m, and Judge Rlner took the
case under adyisement, announcing
that he would give his decision at 3
o'clock this evening.
