RAISE OF $4,000.
German Ambassador Is Voted an In
crease in Salary.

Berlin, March when the propo-
sition to increase the salary OF Baron
Speck Won Sternburg, the German am
bassador at Washington by $4,000
came UP before the appropriations
| committee of the Reichstag today dur
ing the discussion of the foreign office
budget Baron Won Koerner, director in
the trade division Of the foreign office
said an agreement in opinion had with
the representatives of the United
States on the basis of a future COM
mercial treaty from which it was hop
ed that a satisfactory outcome from
the situation would be reached. The
American tariff commissioners, DR..
Won Kerner added, had not, 1t was
true full power to conclude a treaty,
were favorable to German interests.
Many misunderstanding had been
adjusted, the American commissions
had been convinced of many incon-
viences and fair things in the treat
ment of German exporters had so re-
ported to President Roosevelt and the
results of their report will be made
public soon. Turning to the salary of
the ambassador to the United States.
DR.. Won Koerner said that the cost
of living In Washington had increased
| since the salary of the German repre-
sentative was fixed at $4,000, when
the German legation in 1893 was rails
ed to the rank of an embassy. Several
governments among those of France
and Great Britain, had raised the SAL
airy of their present representatives at
Washington on account of fhe increas-
ed cost of residence there. The COM
mittee eventually voted to increase the
ambassador salary by $4,000 and
also voted to increase the salary of the
first secretary by $625, raising it to
similar posts at Paris, st. Petersburg
and Vienna.

STOCKHOLDERS LOSE.
Aetna Building and Loan Case De-
cided by Judge Dana.

After several weeks consideration
of the arguments in the case of Hog
sett against the Aetna Loan associa-
ton, Judge Dana of the Shawnee
County district court, has reached a
decision affirming the contracts as
made by the company and denying the
claims as made by the guarantee
stockholders.
the class of stockholders of the COM
pany known as the guarantee stock
holders, and was brought against the
serial stockholders. The guarantee
premiums were used to pay out the
serial stock, and it was asked that the
contract be set aside to equalize the
stock of both series.
Judge Dana decides that the guar
antee stockholders have no cause of
action, and that their stock must be
paid out according to the contract
The Aetna Loan company itself was
only a nominal party to the suit, and
was not interested in the controversy,
other than to assume the attitude that
it would distribute the shares in any
manner indicated by the court. the
question being simply the apportion-
ment between the serial and guaran-
tee stockholders; the serial stockhold-
ers claiming a right to the return of
all their money from stock before the
guaranteed stock received anything.
The guarantee stockholders contend
ed and set up the claim of ultra wires
meaning that it was beyond the power
of the corporation, and that they
should be prorated equally with the
other stock
Judge Dana decided that the contract
was not ultra wires, mot beyond the
power of the corporation), and that the
guarantee stockholders must take &C
cording to the contract and that they
are not entitled to a pro rata distribu-
ton with the others.
The shares of stock are valued at
$500 each and there are 1000 shares Of
serial stock and 400 shares of guaran-
teed stock.
The suit was caused from the fact
that at the session of the legislature
two years ago the rate of interest was
reduced from II per cent to 10 per cent
which loss fell upon the guaranteed
stock and did not affect the serial
stock.
Attorneys for the plaintiff. Hogsett
have not yet determined whether an
appeal will be taken or not.

FOR REFORM SCHOOL.
The Senate Votes $4,000 to Buy More
Land.

The senate this afternoon voted
-S1O,O 600 for the purchase of 100 acres
of land for the State Industrial school
at Topeka. This indicates that the
senate is in favor of leaving the school
where 1t now stands, instead of NOV
ing it to western Kansas.
Senator Brewer tried to have the
$4,000 appropriation stricken out.
Brewer represents Abilene. which
would like to have the school moved
to that town. Senator Chapman of
Great Bend, which also wants the
school, was opposed to buying any
more land. Brewers amendment was
defeated by a decisive vote. The bill
then passed as presented by the ways
and means committee.
