Statement of Business of
Company.

NEW YORK, July B.-Dudley Evans,
president, and Homer b. Parsons, secre-
tary of the Wells Fargo Express company
were made defendants today in an action
brought in the supreme court in Brooklyn
by Robert w. Pomeroy and Albert Jo-
sephson, two stockholders for peremptory
writ of mandamus compelling them to sub
nit to an examination of the books of the
corporation The plaintiffs said that they
represent Sc per cent of the stock of the
company.
After hearing the arguments the court
reserved decision. Counsel for the plaintiffs
declared in his argument that they have
received interest of only per cent, while
they had reason to believe It should be 40
per cent. Counsel also said that COM
mittee was recently formed to get informa-
ton about the affairs OF the company, but
had only an evasive statement. He as
serted that for the last five years the cor
poration had been under the domination
of one man. He said the surplus was
stated to be 312, 00O. 900 when 1t was probably
S1e,OOOO Co., and the amount of bonds was
given as 5000, 900 when $40, 900 would be
nearer correct.
The attorney said the defense asserted
that the plaintiffs represented a stock
brokerage firm and wanted to control the
coming election of directors. At every an
nual meeting OF the company II was said
full and correct statements are issued as
to the financial condition of the company.
They also contended that the charter of the
corporation had been obtained in Colorado
and that the court had no jurisdiction to
enforce the inspection of books Of a com.

our LETTER BOX


OMAHA, July 2s-To the Editor Of
The Bee: The Bee says that the commit
tee appointed by me a few days ago TO
settle the water works question does not
seem to be climbing over itself TO attend
TO its plain duty. / notice the same thing
myself. Probably one reason for the de-
lay is that Mr. Barlow seems to be other
wise engaged Just at present. lie seems
to be trying TO head of that $6,0OO,OO0
award on the valuation OF the water
works, although IT was made by two out
OF three engineers Of national reputation
for high character and ability. They
were practically Of Omahas own choosing.
They have now hired a man to prove that
two of the engineers are either fools or
frauds. If / thought the entire commit
tee appointed by me in a semi-jocular
way, OF even one-third Of IT, believed
that this is the right thing for Omaha to
do after agreeing to submit the question
of valuation TO three men without any
stipulation as to a unanimous award, 1
might be driven TO appoint another COM
mittee, although / should be personally
much pleased to hang on to President
Barlow for chairman. What did the
high contracting parties appoint three
men as a board of appraisers without
stipulation for a unanimous award for if
they meant that all must agree? Why
didn't they appoint two or four appraisers
instead of three? VIII any one of the
strong members of the water board stand
up before this community and say that
a unanimous award was ever thought of
when the agreement was NADER Not one
of them will do that unless he can prove
that the question was mentioned and dis
Cussed at the time the agreement was
made. a good many citizens of Omaha
share my own conviction that my COM
mittee ought to act SO to persuade
President Barlow and the water board
that there is a better way than the one
that has been followed for several years
in Omaha's best interests on this I'M
fortunate water question. Thousands of
citizens of this town, l am sure, want a
fair and honorable settlement with the
| water company.
But what about those bids on sewer
bonds? Can they have had any possible
relation to the war on the water COM
pany-first to reduce rates, and, secondly,
TO repudiate solemn agreements for the
compulsory purchase of millions of prop
erty? Is the searchlight being turned onto
| Omaha's conduct in the bond markets
of the country or will they be turned on
when the valuation of the $4,000, 900 shall
be headed off2'
Nobody doubts that my committee is
composed of star men, but IL Chairman
Barlow waits until President Barlow
heads off, that award on his present
lines of action we may have to resort tc
more drastic measures.
This joke of mine in appointing com.
mittee was not all joke. 1t was meant
to express large volume of opinion
among the people of Omaha that peace
full and honorable methods should contro
in the immediate adjustment of the water
question. 1t is dangerous question. NJ

the wound in the boys leg. Miss Madge
Maxwell, young woman who happened
along, however, showed greater presence
OF mind, snatchinE her handkerchief
from her handbag she stopped down and
tied up the wound, thus helping to stop
the flow OF blood until the wound could
be dressed by a physician.
The bon was taken TO the office Of DR..
Matthew FINLEY nearby, where the
wound was attended to, and later the boy
was taken to his home The wound, while
painful, IL not considered dangerous.

by the scythe, FASTENED away, but was
overtaken on Upper Broadway by City

quarters, but as there was nothing to show
that he was to blame for the accident he
was not detained.
