We are informed that the New
port Independent grossly misrep-
resented the ball game between
Newark and Walnut Ridge. As
the Independent became 50 large
and important some time ago that
it cut The Journal off its exchange
list, we can't say whether or not
the report is true, but we are told
that it said Walnut Ridge won the
game. We are not surprised at
the Independent disappearing
the matter misrepresentation is
characteristic of that sheet-but
we don't understand why it should
have it in for the Newark team.
The only otfense our boys ever
committed against the Independent
was to refuse to read it.

twice at his home in similar man

The people along the White Riy-
er road deserve a better train SER
vice than they are getting, espec-
tally on Sunday, and we believe
the company should be petitioned
to put on the regular passenger on
Sundays. The passenger and To-
cal should both be run on Sunday,
and the local should carry two
coaches all the time, instead Of one,
as it now does. Half the time one
can hardly get a seat on the local
and on Sunday the passengers have
to stack up like sardines in a box
or get out on top. The Iron Noun

DIRECTORS OF CORPORATION
UNDER STOCKHOLDERS FIRE
Judge Trout to Decide Validity of AS
sessment on Pacific Jupiter
Steel Shares

0uO&e IrOuCL 10 OeC1Qe validity OF AS.
sessment on Pacific Jupiter
Steel Shares.
Judge Trout on Friday heard the di-
rectors Of corporation ask legal sane
ton to the violation of a bylaw under
the plea that they needed the
money"
The holders of over 100000 shares
Of the stock Of the Pacific Jupiter Steel
Company-all but the holders of
eleven shares-passed bylaw provid-
ing that no assessment should be
levied until the treasury stock was
sold. A year and a half later an as
sessment was levied though 100000
shares of treasury stock remained un-
sold. 1t was paid under protest. Now
the directors have levied another assess
ment, and tockholders-among them
many newspaper men-who bought un-
der the bylaw against assessment have
applied to the Superior Court for an
injunction restraining it's collection.
The directors of the company plead
that the bylaw was never adopted, or
IL 1t was adopted 1t is invalid, and that
they need the money to pay debts,
though the corporation has a plant
valued at $4,000. They admit that
the treasury stock has not been sold
and say 1t cannot be sold, as lit is not
worth a cent bushel"
In a similar action commenced by
other stockholders Judge Murasky
held that the bylaw was adopted, that
it was valid and binding and that an
injunction should be issued.
Judge Trout has taken the matter
under advisement and will decide some
time next week whether directors of
corporation can violate its bylaws
and assess stockholders who bouebt
stock under the representation that
there could be no assessment. merely
upon the plea that they need the
money!

Quan Quock wah Wants New Trial.

dents Of Chinese tongs, who was tried
and convicted on a charge of murder
for conspiring to kill Tom Yick of the
Chinese Educational Society in Ross
alley on May, 1903, wants a new trial.
The motion was argued before Judge
Lawlor yesterday by Attorneys Gould
and Dunno for the defendant and At
torney Barrett for the prosecution.
One of the grounds is that three of
the jurors visited the scene of the
shooting during the progress of the
trial, although warned not to do so by
the Judge. The Judge will render his
decision tomorrow.

PARALLELS In Slang.

For example, we may assume, when

Certainly it is not vulgar to have

commcnds such expressions as the

Failures A. Stepping Stones.

How many young Americans
have been knocked down by the
recoil of a gun? Yet only one of
them-Hiram Maxim-found, in
that knockdown, the inspiration
of a new discovery. This Maine
boy arose, bruised and shaken,
but with a fixed idea in his invent
i've mind, that the recoil Of a gun
was wasted energy which could be
used in reloading and firing instead
Of knocking down the man behind
it. Thence came the Maxim gun,
which has revolutionized modern
warfare, and can, %rcloading as it
goes, fire six hundred bullets into
the air before the first one has time
to reach the ground. The same op-
~portunity that gave Hiram Maxim
his chance to fame had happened to
almost every boy of his acquaint-
ance in that Maine village. His
life was just as narrow-or as wide
AS theirs. The difference was in
the quickness and attentiveness of
the brain that made the rccoil Of a
gun suggest everything to him
and nothing to them. Life is just
as wide, as inspiring, as successful,
as we make it.
No day passes without All oppor-
tunity, wherever life slived. Some
times the opportunity is SO ener-
getiC-like the muSkets reCoil-as
to fairly knock us down. Yet we
can get up and recognize nothing
but our bruises and our discomfort
and even call it a piece of bad luck
that we ever handled the gun at all.
A Youths first failure, his first re.
Duf1-hOW tney hurt! Yet perhaps
they hold the secret to the bes
things in his future manhood, if h,
is wise and attentive enough to rec
ognize it. Blows do not mean de
feat, nor is an obstacle wisely &C
cepted as a full stop. Perhaps i
will be our best of stepping stone,
and vantage points when we ono
surmount it. A knockdown reCoi
may be the beginning of LIES sur
est advance, if we have intelligenc
and courage enough to make it 50
