dabury, counsel f0r the United States
Steel corporation has filed an answer
to the suit brought by Miriam Barger
Of sullivan county, ~ u, to restrain
the company from retiring $200, OO0,0M
Of preferred stock and issuing bonds
instead.
The answer AYERS that the corpora
ton. by virtue of the law under which
1t exists, has the right to make, alter
or amend its bylaws subject always to
the vote Of the stockholders, as was
done in the present case.
The bill denies that it was ever the
intention of the defendant corporation
or its officers to make the new bonds
convertible into common stock at any
price or in any manner whatsoever. 1t
claims that the action of the directors
In retiring the preferred stock was vot
ed upon and aSseuted to by nearly all
the capital stock of the corporation.
In regard to the contract with j. L.
Morgan Il Co. the answer declares that
the contract was approved by more
than majority Of the stockholders,
not including stock registered in the
name Of j. l.. Morgan & Co. or any
or any subscriber to said syndicate or
any officer or director of the defendant
corporation.

He loved to wade in human gore
And he shed IL just FOR FUN
With his gun IN hand he was full Of sand.
lie staggered about In manner grano;
There wasn't one IN the Texas town
Who was game enough TO call him down.
Sand load up on trantler Juice
And meander forth to kill.
He had a private boneyard which
lie Dragged he was going TO fill.
Other bad men ran when the fun began
There wasn't slayer in allthe clan
For the bush they'd hike like frightened
deer
And keep mighty scarce while Sam was
near.
There came one day TO the Texas town
A youth with citihed air.
Whose tourist toys were noisy, ana
Who bisected his BLONDE hair,
This dainty young man went about to scan
The sights Of the town, and very soor ran
Against the greatest OF all ker-slam-
The apparition Of sizzling sam.
Commotlon then arose forthwith
There ensued Wild affair
A pulseless form lay stark and stin
And nobody seemed to care.
And the nfeless clay ruGely borne away
To the burying ground OF sam that Gay
Was torn and TWISTED all out OF shape
And wore not even rag Of Grape.
Sizzling Sam was q gone galoot
And the town was bowling glad.
With eager haste they planted him
Not a single soul was sad
The citincd youth who had done the trick
Was a pingpong player and lightning
quick
And Sam. while trying his moves to
