"JOKER" SEEN IN
REFORM STATUTE
Measure to Prevent Stock Watering
in the Badger State Found
To Be ValueIess.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 2S.-In an
opinion just rendered the Wisconsin,
railroad commission says in effect
that the new law passed by the legis-
iature two months ago to prevent the
watering of stocks and bonds by cor
porations is almost useless because II
does not give the commission power to
refuse to grant authority to issue al
ditional stock and bonds if all desired
information is fled by the applicant
corporation.
The opinion was rendered in connec-
ton with an order granting the South
err Wisconsin Railway company Of
Madison authority to issue 100000 of
additional bonds.

Dispute Over Management of the SOs
ciaI End of the jamestown
Expo Lets Him Out.


Norfolk. Va, Oct. ii M. Barr
director general of the Jamestown ex-
position. who recently resigned that
Office because of a dispute as to who
was the social head of the exposition,
in letter just made public finally de
clines to withdraw his resignation.
In the letter Barr says: I'm accepting
the director generalship of the exposi-
ton at time when the resources of
your company were exhausted and
when the exposition in consequence
faced disaster, I was morally bound
to serve it in this capacity until it
had been conducted to a conclusion,
If the conditions imposed by me, ac-
copied by you and Incorporated in
your bylaws, were recognized and en-
forced.
"This, for reasons satisfactory to
you, has not been done and being, in
consequence, powerless to do the
things for the exposition which
its reputation and success, in
my opinion, demanded, re-
Quested to be relieved Of the duties OF
director general as soon as the expo
sition was completed in a thorough
manner"
