sail has gathered with the object OF

p Generally speaking. he finds that
brunettes are stronger than blondes.
His figures show that with each sue.
cessive generation of city life the fair
element sends an; undue proportion OF
its members to the hospitals. Child
patients are markedly fairer than the
children in. the districts around the
hospitals.
In the earlier years OF child life
blondes are about as numerous as
brunettes but DR.. Shrubsall shows
that disease during childhood falls

Throughout life blonde people II are Il,
more prone to fall victims Of disease Sc
than brunettes, and this leads Dr..

that diminution of stature and n In.

Damages to Stockholders
SHEPARD COMPLAINS
Allegation Is Made That
Pretended Factory Does
Not Exist in Haywards

Serious charges were made against E.
Ghirardelli in a suit filed in the Superior
Court yesterday by Attorney L. E. Burks
for C. c. Shepard, in which damages are
sought for money expended in purchase
of stock of the E. Ghirardelli Mercantile
Company, as alleged by Shepard. A SINH
lar suit is 10 follow, so it is announced, in
which the complainant is Joseph Hess
Shepard alleges, through his complaint.
that Ghirardelli is the president of the e
Ghirardelii Mercantile Company; that as
such officer and as principal stockholder
Ghirardelli has at all times known that
the company was operated at loss, and
it is set I'D that it never had, at any
time, IAN alleged factory at Haywards.
California. or elsewhere. The language
of the complaint is in part as follows,
referring to the acts of Ghirardelli:
He represented, on and prior to April II. 1905,
to said Dlaintif that said corporation was
then, and ever since the organization thereof.
had been paying out of the net profits OF the
business OF said corporation monthly dividends
upon its capital stock amounting to per
centum of the par value of each and every
share of the issued capital stock and that
said corporation held and owned factory az
Haywards, Cal, for the manufacture of all
the catsup and pickles sold by IL in its busi-
ness wholesale and retail dealer in catsup
and pickles and that the net profit 10 said
corporation on the sale of said catsuD and
pickles manufactured by said corporation
at least 80 per centum of the cost price
of manufacture of the same: and said defend
ant further represented to said plaintif that
president and manager and principal stock
holder of said corporation he had special Ia
cities for gaining, and had gained, a fuil
and complete knowledge of all the business
and property of said corporation and of its
financial condition at all times since its or
ganization.
of the representations made by Ghirar-
delli in the foregoing was untrue, but. by
reason of them, he. Shepard, bought 500
shares of the capital stock of the COM
pany at par value. This stock, he al
