Montana Court So Rules On Vote OF
CORPORATION Directors.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 25.-A Miner spe-
cial from Helena says that the SUI
preme court has rendered a decision
of great Importance to corporations
operating in Montana, to the effect
that directors of corporations have no
authority to vote salaries to them
selves. The decision is in the case OF
O. ]. Mcconnell ct al. against the
Domination Milling & Mill Company,
Charles D. Mcclure, Paul A. FUSE and
others, on appeal from the district
court of Silver Bow county, which
awarded the plaintiff judgment for the
amount voted by the directors as sal
aries to themselves, and involves
about $4,000. The supreme court
says:
ut makes no difference whether the
trustees intended to defraud the com
panv and the stockholders OF the
amount of money appropriated for the
purpose of paying their salaries or
whether they acted in the utmost good
faith. The result is exactly the same,
and whether the recovery OF the plant
IFS be put upon the ground Of actual
or constructive fraud, they are en-
titled to recover upon the facts shown
in this record"

Something for Alaska Natives.

"Lieut. Emmons had for many
years peculiar facilities for ascertain
ing the facts about the natives of Alas
ka and has recently concluded. an in
vestigation made on the ground by my
spectral direction. I very earnestly
ask the attention of congress to the
facts set forth in this report as to the
needs of the native people of Alaska.
1t seems to me that our honor as q ma
ton is involved in seeing that these
needs are met. earnestly hope that
legislation along the general lines ad-
vocated by Lieut.. Emmons can be
enacted"
In his report Lieut.. Emmoas says
that the thrush of white settlers in
Alaska has caused a complete change
Of conditions; that the game is being
rapidly killed off and the food supply
of the Indians rapidly exhausted; that
they are like grown-up children and
incapable Of taking care of themselves
in the new conditions and that it will
be necessary to do something substan-
tial for them at an early day to pre-
vent actual suffering.
