THE FOURTH AT sToN1NGToN

The entertainment gotten up
by the Sunday School was sue
cess from every point of view.
The program in the forenoon
consisted of music and recitations.
The children did their part well.
The basket dinner was simply i'm
mense and surely no one went
hungry. Everyone seemed to be
there and all seemed to be enjoy
ing themselves. The afternoon
was given to music and speaking
by the older ones.
N. G. Jones on Individual Cit
izenship," was fine and contained
some splendid thoughts. w. H.
Konkel dealt at some length on
the temperance question. Rev.
Beckner on the advantages to be
derived from associations with
each other on occasions like this.
B. H. Jones principally on the re-

we lived in a grand free country.
At the close he gave US another
reason why we celebrate this
great day, it being the natal day
of the Stonington merchant.
Although the crowd was large
good order prevailed. At an
early hour the people turned their
faces homeward, feeling that
they had all had a most enjoy
able day.

FIGHT IN BOARD OF TRADE
Control Of Organisation IL Attempted By
Three Stock Holders.
MOVEMENT TO FRUsTRATE THEIR PLANS
New set OF bylaws Proposed Allows
Proxy voting and HoIdinE of
More Than one share
of stock.

A fight to prevent II. f. Palmer. =. NJ
Morsman and Thomas Fitzpatrick from Sc
curing legal control OF the Board OF Trade.
which owns and operates the Board OF
Trade building at the southwest corner OF
Sixteenth and Farnam streets, will be made
at the annual meeting Of the organization
Monday afternoon.
The opposition will rally its forces to de-
feat the adoption of a new set OF bylaws
which has been proposed and which differs
from the old set in that 1t allows voting
by proxy and fails to prohibit the holding
Of more than one share of stock by any
one man.
Captain Palmer, Mr.. Morsman and Mr..
Fitzpatrick are said even now to absolutely
control the affairs of the corporation, ono
of them debating the vote Of thirty-fve
shares of stock held in the names of en-
ployes and friends. Some of the stock
holders maintain that this control IL not
legal since the regulations or the organ
izatlon allow each man only one share
and since 1t might be proven that these
three men actually paid for many shares.
The adoption OF the proposed bylaw would
safeguard them In their control by making
It legal and would preclude the possibility
OF any attempt to break II on the part OF
other shareholders who have talked from
! NAAlt " TIME VI WINslNhk IL AiOH AhOAA "
legal proceedings.
There are 1856 stockholders, and the three
men are able to control by reason Of the
fact that only about sixty votes are cast
at each election.
Those opposing the new bylaws will at
tempt to get out as many votes as pos
slble.
The Board OF Trade building is a profit
able investment. When the board was or
ganized, more than twenty years ago, and
when II performed the functions of a COM
mercial club, shares were sold for $50
each. The property being at the business
center OF the city, its value has increased
until each share is said to be actually
worth $1,000
