DECISION is REVERSED

DES MONIES, April 9.-The decision
of the District Court at Council Bluffs
in the case of James Boyle against
James F. Burns, president of the Port
land Mining Company of Colorado, was
to-day reversed by the Iowa Supreme
Court. The decree of the lower court
gave Boyle $449, 1922, together with $4,000
interest and $4,000 costs. The case be-
came famous by a suit filed in which
Boyle claimed nearly a million dollars
in payment for his interest in the Bob
tail, Tidal Wave and DEVILS Own
claims, which form part of the Port
land company's properties. The suit
was instituted in 1898 and Judgment

judgment was later set aside, on show

was Mayor of Victor, Colo, had spent
six months in Jail for contempt of

continue proceedings in Iowa, but
which Boyle refused to do. The trial

PHILADELPHIA. April 9.-The i'm

THE total estimated alien immigra

THE character of these arriving
aliens, however, during the past year
differs greatly from that of 1882 and
the years previous. Since the founda-
ton of our Government until within
the past fifteen years practically all
of the immigrants came from Great
Britain and Ireland, Germany and the
scandinavian countries, and were very
largely of Teutonic stock, with large
percentage of Celtic. Fifteen millions
of them have made their homes with
us. In fact, they have been the path
finders in the West and Northwest.
They are intelligent, industrious and
sturdy people They have contributed
largely to the development of our
country and it's resources, and to them
is due, in a great measure, the high
standard of American citizenship

has now changed. During the past fif-

What Liquozone Is

Liquozone is the result OF a process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the. constant subject of scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues
are derived solely from gas-lsrgely
oxygen gas-by a process requiring
immense apparatus and IA days time.
Each cubic inch of Liquozone re-
ouires the use OF 1880 cubic inches of
the gas. IT is this remarkable con-
densation that gives Liquozone its
power-the power 10 do what oxy-
gen does

can't kill. and this offer is published
on the label of every bottle.
Note what this fact means. All that
is necessary to cure any germ trouble
is to kill the germs. Nature will do
the balance. A germ disease must
end when the germs are destroyed; I;
nothing is more certain than that
And all the skill in the world cannot
cure such trouble while those germs
exist.
Liquozone goes into the stom-
ach, into the bowels and into the
blood, to go wherever the blood
goes. No germ can escape it and
none can resist it. The results are
inevitable. Diseases which have re-
sisted medicine for years yield at
once to it; and it cures diseases
which medicine never cures.
The San Francisco call., 1904-04-10
Kills Inside Germs

The greatest value OF Liquozone
lies in the fact that il kills germs in
the body without killing the tissues,
too. There is nothing else known
which will do that. Any drug that
kills germs Is a poison. and 1t cannot
be taken internally For this reason
medicine is of little effect in a germ
trouble, as every physician knows.
This problem OF killing inside
germs is the greatest problem that
medical men ever met. These germs
arc the cause OF most Of the serious
disc -es. And the only way TO cure
such diseases is to kill those germs.
An internal germicide, effective, yet
harmless. has been sought after more
than anything else in the history OF
medical practice.
Iiquozone has solved this problem.
The chemist who discovered Liquo-
zone first proved that germs are veg
oiablcs. Then he found that an ex-
cess Of oxygen-the very life of an

ter. Then he sought a way TO get
the virtues Of oxygen in stable form
into the blood. The result. after 20
wears, is a product which kills inside
germs-which does what nothing else
can do.

Germ Diseases

The diseases in this list are known
to be caused by germs or their tox-
ins. Medicine has been used in these
diseases for centuries, but the germ
cause was unknown until late years.
The cause of Rheumatism, for in
stance, was not traced to germs un-
til 1902
This new cause of disease calls for
new treatment Medicine does not
apply because medicine cannot kill
inside germs. Those who now use
medicine for germ troubles either do
not know the cause of the trouble or
don't know Liquozone.
These diseases all yield to Lii

Disputed Stock of Oro-
vile Corporation
Held Valid.

not only the right to receive such divi
dendS as may be declared, but also a
voice in the election of directors, and,
consequently, in the control and man
agement Of the corporation; that the
extent of the influence of the stockhold
er depends upon the proportion which
his stock bears to the total stock is
sued: and that he has a right to pre-
serve that proporionate voice and in
fiuencc if he sees fit or, in other words,
that the directors should not, by an is
sue OF new stock, be permitted to dis
turb the relative standing of the stock
holders without their consent.
THAT this reasoning is applicable
to the case of an increase of the cap
ital stock of a corporation beyond the
amount originally authorized is OBJ
vious. Where a corporation is formed
with n capital of 10000 shares and A
subscribes for and obtains 40, 900
shares. his part in the control is two
fifths. He can. under the system of
cumulative voting, elect two of five di-
reotors. In any event, he can. by
combining with a triae more than one
tenth OF the remaining stock, name a
majority of the board. If then steps
are taken to increase the capital stock
from 100000 to 20O,O 900 shares and
the directors issue the additional 100,-
900 to persons other than A, without
giving him an opportunity to subscribe
for any part of the increased issue, 1t
is plain that his influence in the man
agement of the corporation is greatly
reduced. Instead of holding two
fifths of the stock outstanding, his
proportionate holding becomes only
ne-fifth.
THE GENERAL RULE.
Does the same line of reasoning
apply to a portion of the originally
authorized capital, which may remain
unissued? l think it does not. If a
corporation is organized with a NOM
inal capital of 100000 shares, and A
subscribes for 1000 shares he does
so knowing that others may subscribe
for some part or all of the 10000
shares remaining. Indeed, he has a
right to insist that all of the remain
ing authorized capital shall be sub
scribed before he can be called on to
pay for his stock. This is the general
rule, except IN so lar as II may nave
been modified by statute (26 Am. and
Eng. Ency. Law, second edition, 934;
Civil Code of Cal, sec. 331, San Ber-
nardino Ins. Co. VS.. Merrill los Cal.
490), and no statute of Arizona max
ing any modification of it has been
called TO my attention.
The taking of the remaining stock
by others is an implied condition up
on which the subscription shall be-
come binding. The subscriber may
waive the condition, and take his
stock before the balance has been sub
scribed. But how can it be said that
by waiving this condition he acquires
new right entirely inconsistent with
it, namely, the right to have a def
mite proportion of the remaining
stock issued to him? The contention
of the plaintiffs would lead to the re-
suit that the first subscriber or sub
scribers to the stock of a corporation
could prevent the issue of any further
stock except to himself or themselves

OUR SAMOAN ARMY
THE NATIVES TAKE KINDLY TO
DRILL AND DISCIPLINE.
Their Uniforms Are Cheap, But Cor
geous Affairs of Many Colors-
Flow Soldiers Are Selected
by the Villages.

Pango-Pango, Island of Tutilla.-It is
often said, in a spirit of mild criticism,
that the uniform of the American soldier
is too plain, too quiet.
1t certainly lacks the gold lace and
snowy colors worn by most of the Eu-
ropean armies. But we have succeeded
in enrolling under our banner one style
of regimentals that will surely eve
arouse reproach under that head. Uncle
Sam has fitted out his tropic forces like
the lilies of their W fields.
When the Samoan islands coded two
of their number to the United States, we
found a peaceable, loveable people
ready to make friends with the white
brother. The commander of a gunboat
is governor of the islands, and his ship
is in the harbor. The natives were
wonderfully attracted to the sailor boys,
and stories of war and martial songs
made them eager for a regiment of their
own.
The troops were formed from the rep
resentative men of the villages. Fine,'
intelligent, muscular fellows like cop
per statues. The choosing of a uniform
was quite an undertaking, but finally a
costume was fashioned resembling the
national emblem. The troops in mo-
ton look like an animated Fourth of
July decoration.
A mat tied about the middle and a
wreath of flowers in the hair made up
the ordinary dress. The uniform on
sisted of a dark blue festoon like a
short skirt, a glowing crimson sash con-
fining it. A white gauze shirt, the
sleeves showing signs of rank, such as
one or two bars or stripes, etc, all in
bright red. There is usually a red BIOS
som stuck through the meshes of the
gauze or a necklace of red seeds.
Upon the head Is worn many yards of
red calico bound and twisted mot an
elaborate turban, and with a black car
