Fools.
MUCH SPICE IS ADDED

Newark, N. J.,sAugust 15.-Argument in
the application of Edward A. McAlpin
and others for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Universal Tobacco company
was resumed today before Vice Chancellor
Pitney by Attorney General Robert II.
McCarter of counsel for the defendant
corporation. Mr.. McCarter said that when
George p. and William II. Butler w.
Bourke Cochran and II. c. Messenger
agreed to put money In the company
which was to be financed by Tilford, it
was with the understanding that the vot-
ing trust should exist and that Frank
Tilford and Henry r. Wilson were to re-
main with them in the attempt to fight the
American Tobacco company. But instead
of doing so, Mr.. McCarter said Tnford
and Wilson got out when they had got
what they wanted and did not consider
the obligation they were under to others
who had Joined them in the enterprise. He
claimed that the allegation of insolvency
made by the complalnants was false He
said the fact that the corporation wanted
more capital was no proof of insolvency.
He asked: "Where are those who
made millions out of the scheme by selling
out?'
DID Not Make Millions.
Vice. Chancellor Pitney, interruptng.
said II do not quite agree with counsel
that they made millions l assume that
they made about 100000 less expenses.
What they got beyond that was by cheat
ing somebody"
At the close of Mr. McCarters argument
Mr. Peckham followed for the defense. He
began by reading the text of the new
Massachusetts corporation law, but was
interrupted by Vice-Chancellor Pitney.
1.-The Massachusetts judiciary is degen-
Grating" announced the vice chancellor
"and l do not consider their opinion any
more Thirty years ago 1t was differ
emit"
When Mr.. Beckham resumed he refer
red to the vice chancellors opinion of
Massachusetts as similar to that of the
opinion expressed by the court a few
days ago regarding Wall street and stock
initiation, but he was again interrupted
by the vice chancellor. who said:
Investors Are Fools.
you know and l know, and everybody
ought to know. that stock Is inflated to
unload it on the public. 1 consider 1t
fraud and the people who buy are fools.
The men who initiate the stock, take
advantage of the old adage, all fools
are not yet dead 1t may be old
fashioned idea, but it is ground into me,
and l am afraid 1 cannot shake it off"
Mr. Beckham then resumed his argu-
ment.
Vice Chancellor Pitney suggested. be-
fore the hearing of the argument be-
gan today, that he was fully decided that
he could not interfere with the Butler
voting trust at this time and requested
counsel to address themselves as to the
courts action In maintaining the modus
vivendi.
THE important matter to be settled
now" he said, lis to decide upon ac-
ton to be taken in the restraining order
now In force against the bond issue. AS
the order stands today. 1t stops the sale
or transfer of these bonds"

FOR CHARITY SAKE
HELPING HAND SOCIETY CONDUCT A
MOST SUCCESSFUL EVENT.
3. P. 0. ELks MEMORIAL DAY
WILL BE OBSERVED BY THE LOCAL
LODGE.

Idaho Springs opera house was taxed
crowd of people who had assembled as
guests OF the Helping Hand Society to
! dance for sweet chsrity's sake, and it
was one of most successful gatherings in
point of attendance, sociabiiitv and I'm
anci"lly ever given in the city
Nearly every family in the city was re-
presented, either in person or by contrib
ution, and something over $500 was
realized by the entertainment which will
be judiciously used by the society in its
most landable efforts to relieve distress
wherever it may be found.
The new Improvements at the opera
house made the entertainment of the
guests comparatively an easy matter, as
the increased room on the stage enabled
the ladies to serve supper to all in com
fort and without crowding. something
that could not have been done under the
old conditions This also relieved the
congestion on the dancing floor much to
the comfort of the dancers, and all in all
the arrangements were perfect.
An elegant repast was served, the
music by Denver orchestra all that
could be desired. while the amount real
lied well repaid the ladies for their efforts.
To equal the event in succeeding years,
the society will have to exert itself. for
standard has been established that car
not be exeelled, and the remembrance OF
the event of last Wednesday night will
be retained with pleasant memory by the
large number that were fortunate en-
ough to be present.

In Favor Of Hotel Project.

President Daniels of the Big Five Fed.
Grafton visited this city on "Wednesday
and conferred with Superintendent Stew
art regarding the important operations
now under way. Speaking OF the subject
OF big hotel for Idaho Springs, he ex.
hibited lively interest in what steps are
to be taken by the Idaho Springs cham
Der OF commerce, and it is safe to saw
that he is cordially in favor OF any move
ment IN that direction. and tha, he speaks
for the federation directorate and the
5000 stock holder. "It has been my ex-
perience'' said be that il is harder 10
enlist capital in hotel enterprises than
in mines When We purchased the
springs my private opinion was that we
would by this time not only have con.
structed big bath house but have had
modern hotel on the grounds
II Is well to state in connection that
the Big Five is not the only corporation
that has fallen short in its expectations
during the past year or so, primarily
through hnaucial furries that have dis
turbed the money ceuters of the country.
But Mr.. Daniels is not in the least dis
hear,ened, and We look for good results
to come some way through the coming
conference between the chamber of
commerce, the city council and the Big
Five officials.

Valuable improvements.

{. l.. Lamb, since he purchased the
Chandler dwelling, in Sunnyside, has
been making some valuable improve
ments. The house has been somewhat
enlarged and connected with the sewer.
This week retaining wall is being built
alongside the street and cement side
walk laid in trout of the residence. Nj.
Lamb can thus claim the distinction ef
being the very first Sunnysider to con-
struct a sidewalk. the balance of the
people, like a great many residents OF
Capitol hill, thinking that Colorado
soil is good enough for them. We wish
to state in this connect IL that the WORK
that is being done by Mr.. Lamb in wall
building should be, il possible, followed
BY others who live upon the lower side Of
Virginia street, as we know that it is the
desire of the street superintendent and
the council to fill in and widen the street
early next season. This can not be well
done unless retaining walls are construct
ed on the lower side 10 hold the earth.
Some complaints have during the past
month or SO reached our ears that not
enough attention was paid by the city
authorities to that particular section; but
it is obvious that the city can do little
unless the property owners give it an op-
portunity. Virginia street in Sunnyside
can be made very slightly with a little
work At present it is 50 narrow tha.
for some distance it is deemed dangerous
for teams. The walls built and the
street filed, sidewalks can be construct
ed by those who feel an interest ia gen
eral comfort and improvement to their
property.

WANTS DAMAGES
HOTEL MAN CLAIMS INJUSTICE IS DONE
HIM BY siFTiNGs.
WANTS FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
RumoRs ARE RIFE THAT SUIT WILL BE
BROUGHT IN DENVER.

In the Denver Post of last Wednesday
voted to y. c. Merrill, secretary of the
Big Five company, in which W. A.
Stock announces that he has commenced
two suits for damages of 5000 each, one
against the Sift;ngs.
The specific and immediate cause OF
the suit was the publication in the Sift-
ings OF signed article from the pen Of
n. {. Merrill. in which he made some
very strong statements concerning the
character of Mr.. Stock.
Mr.. Stock rises in his wrath aud no,
only files the above mentioned suits. but
perative attacks on the character of Mr..
Merrill rivals that published in the Sift-
ings.
All of this is the outgrowth of a recent
effort OF Dir. George Suffs, of Boston, a
siockholder i'll the Big Five, who sought
TO gain access to the company's books
and was refused by the secretary.
Just where Siftings butts into the dam
age case is hard TO determine. The Post
prints verbatim the alleged libelous ar
ticle 10 which Mr.. Stock takes excep-
ton, it being an excerpt from the article
signed by Mr.. Merrill which appeared in
this paper. but Siftings has not yet heard
of suit being fled against The Post.
On the contrary. Mr.. Stock passes the
matter back to Mr. Merrill in letter TO
The Post as defense for his position in
bringing the suits.
Up TO the hour of going to press the
Subsidized or .'hypnotized" editor Of
Sitting has had no official notification of
the suit, and can do naught but await de-
veiopmen,s- This paper has in no man
