AE!hs.Do'.5 CUP CHALLENGE
Upton Is Prepared to Arrange Race
Under Satisfactory Conditions.

Upton Is Prepared to Arrange Race
Under Satisfactory Conditions.
Dublin, Oct 2.-Sir Thomas Upton
again has expressed his deep regret
at the refusal Of the New York Yacht
club to accept his challenge to race
for the Americas cup, and in lengthy
letter to the Royal Irish Yacht club
he sets forth his reasons in detail.
while recognizing the responsible
ties of the members of the club as
trustees of the Americas cup" writes
Sir Thomas, cit might be pointed out
that when the deed of gift was drawn
up the developments which have taken
place in regard to the modern racing
yacht could not have been foreseen.
81 recognize that the members OF
the New York Yacht club are well
within their rights in deciding as they
have done, yet | am sorry that they
have not been able, under the mutual
agreement clause, to meet me in my
wish to have a race under their own
universal rule, which, in my opinion,
encourages a very wholesome and de-.
sirable type of yacht
In view of their attitude, however.
there is nothing left but to abandon
the idea of a contest for the present,
although 1 am always prepared. under
mutually satisfactory conditions, to ar
range a race"

WIRELESS READY
FOR ALASKA
SYSTEM EXTENDS TO CIRCLE
CITY AND WILL PUT FAR-0FF
TERRITORY IN TOUCH WITH
BUSINESS WORLD.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE
new wireless telegraph stations at
Fairbanks and Circle City. Alaska,
are ready for operation, according to
advices just received by Brigadier
General Allen, chief signal officer of
the army. The stations are 40
miles apart and are designed to have
"a radium of about $50 miles. Sta
lions are planned at various points
from Nome to Cape Flattery, and be-
fore a year has elapsed the signal
corps expects to have in operation
wireless connections from Boring
straits to Puget sound. This is in
tended to supplement the Valdez
Sitka cable and the land telegraph
lines, which in the severe season are
difficult to keep in working order.
There are wireless stations in OPP
Grafton at Nome and ST. Michael, a
distance of 107 miles across the Nor
ton sound. The station at Nome will
be enlarged and a station at Fort
Gibbons and another station will be
constructed at Valdez by the navy
department and these will be opera
ted with naval wireless stations at
Sitka and Cape Flattery. 1t is likely
that stations will be constructed at
Eagle City and Gulkana in order to
replace land lines between those two
points which traverse the toughest
country of Alaska.
The wireless system between
Nome and st. Michael has been oper-
ated without a break during the past
year and has been used for CONNER
cial business, These stations have
demonstrated the fact that the wire
less system for Alaska is far more
feasible for the transaction of COM
mercial business than are the land
lines.

ONE PET THEORY DoWNED.

Interest In Civic Matters Not Increased
by Municipal Ownership.
Advocates of municipal ownership
tell us that the ownership and manage
ment of public utilities by the munich
pality is invariably accompanied by
greatly increased interest in munich
pal affairs by the rate payers. AS has
been pointed out in these columns on
many occasions. this is one of the pet
theories which, as theory. is indis-
putable, but which in actual practice
has proved time after time most dis
appointing.
Another instance has just come to
hand. Edmonton is extensively adver-
tised as the banner municipal owner
ship town of the Canadian west. Its
civic officials have acquired much dex-
terity in throwing bouquets at one an
other and even at themselves. Accord
ing to theory, public interest in munich

be at white heat. But 1t Is not.

PLATTS
EXPRESS co.
STOCKHOLDERS CLAIM THAT IN
FACE OF EVIDENT PRosPERI-
TY THEY DO NOT REALIZE ON
PROFITS OR DIVIDENDS.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 11.-A pub
lie hearing in connection with the
inquiry into the affairs of Senator
Platts United States Express COM
pany was commenced here today by
the public service commission. The
Investigation is the elimination of
long effort on the part of share
holding minority to compel the man
kagement of the express company to
advance dividends from 4 per cent to
per cent.
The movement was originated by
A. L. Banister and Samuel s. Matt
who organized shareholders COM
mittee and opened the campaign for
a more liberal dividend policy, claim
ing that the company's assets are
between $16,0OO,OOO and 100000
1000. Senator Thomas c. Platt, as
president of the company, issued an
goff1cial statement to the effect that
the assets of the company did not ex-
Iceed its $10,OOO,OOO capitalization.
In its petition for an inquiry, the
shareholders committee says:
THE United States Express COM
lpany is practically controlled by two
other companies, neither of which
has held meeting of stockholders
for the purpose of electing directors
for many years. These companies are
/ the Adams and American Express
companies, the presidents of which
have been elected directors of the
United States Express company
about six years ago.
! Although requested by sharehold-
eers representing more than $4,000
! shares-that is to say, more than
sone-half of the apitalization-the
officers of the United States Express
company decline to call meeting of
shareholders for the election of d.
rectors, giving as their reason that
the. articles of association, signed in
1854, provide that a meeting Shall
be called when shareholders OF the
company representing two-thirds %
the shares shall unite in a written
request for an election of director
The minority stockholders argue
that the recent announcement of a
200 per cent dividend by the Adams
.
cempang, following increases last
year by the American ana Wells
Fargo companies, leaves the United
States Express company alone in its
position ofsrefusing more liberal div
idends or profits.
The presidents of both the Ameri-
can and. Adams Express. companies
.are directors in, Senator PlattE com
Ipany, and the shareholders call at
ltention to the fact that while they
have been allowing large returns to
their own shareholders, they have
persistently. voted to withhold them
from the shareholders of the United
States Express company. It is ru-
mored that the dissatisfied stock
holders are now planning to GUST

the company.
