corporation was to be organized for per-
fectly legitimate purposes.
The first three sections OF the bill
were adopted. There-was debate on the
fourth section, which provides that de-

Mr.. Spooner argued the principle was

supervision OF the companies and he
moved the clause giving the power speci-
fled be stricken out.
Mr. Rathbun opposed the motion. The
same provision was included in the
charters Of nearly all OF the trust com

the protection sought was given in an
other part OF the bill requiring the com

A PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

Mr.. Spooner said that IL was the prin
ciple involved that he antagonizing,
He has no hostility to the bill nor TO the
men who sought to incorporate the com
panies. But the fault was there was no
supervision OF the companies. The com
panies were responsible to no one. There
were many banking institutions IN the
state that have no such special privi
leges.
Mr. ogden said the charter was sim
liar 10 those OF the Manufacturers
Trust Co. and the Industrial Trust Co.
both OF which were considered 10 be
among the strongest institutions In the
state. There was no reason 10 give
this company fewer privileges than are
enjoyed by other companies.
on motion Of Mr.. Spooner IL was voted
TO amend section by striking out that
part that gave the same exemption as did
that striken ont in section T. and IL was
by a roll cal vote OF &c TO %
on motion OF Mr.. Spooner the clause in
section I. exempting the corporation from
giving sureties on bonds. unless a writ
ten request he filed with the court OF pro-
bate. was stricken out on a viva voce
vote.
FINALLY RECOMMITTED.
There was no objection by Mr. spooner
10 other sections Of the bill and then
Mr. Murphy moved TO amend by striking

quired for the faithful performance or the

PROF. HICKS PREDICTS
SOME STORMY DAYS

Weather Prophet Hicks is gloomy.
Thus he speaks of the weather for
the coming eleven days:
'The first storm period will be
central on Sept. 4, extending from
Sept. 2 to I. Signs Of the approach
ing change and storms will appear
about Sept. 3. Weather will grow
warmer in the west, the barometer
will begin falling, and cloudiness and
rain will follow, growing in volume as
they pcSs eastward and reaching
eliminating crisis from Sept. to I.
Autumnal thunder storms and
squalls will be natural in many
sections on Sept. 6 and 7, Look for
decided change to cooler in the west
as these storms pass eastward, cool,
clearing weather following the storms
to the extreme east The change to
fair and cooler will be retarded until
after the moon passes north of the
equator on Sept. I; otherwise it would
eliminate about the foil moon on
Sept, 6.
Weather changes will come in rapid
succession at this time, but the domi-
nant state of the weather will be
warm above the average. Sept 9, 10
and IL are reactionary storm days, on
and ABOUT which marked storm
conditions will arise. Atmospheric
and seismic perturbations of wide and
violent character will be quite natural
within week or ten days of Sept. IL.
This is one of the periods for equinoXial
hurricanes from the West Indies
