FOR BIGGER DIVIDENDS
AFTER WELLS-F1RGO.
Stock Exchange Firm Continues
CampGign for Increase.

Another circular has just been sent TO the
stockholders of the corporation Of Wells Fargo
& Co by the Stock Exchange firm Of Walter c.
Stokes e. Co. who have been active in the last
three months in the effort TO get for the share
holders a larger dividend return on their stock.
The yearly dividend rate is now per cent, and
f. is the contention of the Stokes firm that with
the earnings as great they admittedly are it
would be only sn act of Justice to the body of
the stockholders for the management 10 declare
q stock or scrip dividend, payable out Of future
earnings and not diminishing the present sur
plus. 70 an amount sufficient TO put the present
stock on a I6 per cent dividend basis
The last preceding circular announced that
Stokes e. Co. represented more than 4b per cent
of the stockholders. The circular just issued
saws. with a continuance of the support you
have given us the success of our plan for more
liberal distribution OF the oompenys earnings
seems assured" Continuing, the circular says,
IN part:
We are Informed that proxies are being sought
hv partfes who accuse US of attempting tc manip-
ulate the stock for speculative purposes. We
repeat our assurance that our only purpose is 10
gain for ourselves and the other stockholders a
larger distribution of the earnings
A person who is cauvassing for proxies in the
East, and upon his failure 10 get proxies onering
TO purchase the stock itself at 2s0 has made the
statement that no increase In the diVioend rate
would be made at the present time although he
admits that the earnings are upward of 80 per
cent per annum. He claims that a deal is In
prospect with the Union Pacific similar to that
which the company has with the Southern
Pacific that it is proposed 10 pay the Union
Pacific cash for the exclusive use OF that line
and that the existing surplus is necessary 10
enable this plan TO be carried out We do not
ask a cash distribution Of the surplus, and If
this contract IS for the benefit OF Wells Fargo &
Co Il VIII not lessen the cOmpanys earnings, but
should increase them and do not think. on
the statements made. that stock or scrip divi-
dend sufficient 10 put the present stock on a 16
per cent dividend basis is at all unreasonable
AS consideration for the contract for eK-
elusive right 10 the express business on the
Southern Pacific lines. It is said. the late c. P.
Huntington. then president of the Southern
Pacific company. compelled Wells Fargo & Co.
10 give HIS company 10000 shares Of its stock, 1
par value $4,000, 600: and Of that block the
Southern Pacific at n recent date still held 15,-
300 shares. The Wells Fargo surplus is under
stood 10 be upward Of $1,000 1000, but how much
cash the Union Pacific will demand for the

" This was put with Oscar Davis of the German National Bank by 4. F. May berry, to be paid over to Cook and Chapline. The jury in circuit court returned ! verdict against Chapline and assessed his fine at S25, from which Chapllne appealed to the supreme court.
