Opposition in Stock Rights" Issue
Claim That Big Blunder Has
Been Made

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 29.--De-,
nouncing the action of the directors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway in relation to the plan evolved
for subscription to an increase in tho
capital stock of the corporation as Ear
bitrary, illegal and unjust to the stock
holders" resolution to that effect were
adopted unanimously at a meeting of
the stockholders and others at the board
of trade rooms today.
Talk of Common Honesty"
The resolution states that in the opin-
ion of the board of trade common hon
esty on the part of the directors of said
railway company demands that to each
stakeholder shall be restored the right
of which he has been deprived.
1t requests the company to extend the
time in which stockholders may sub
scribe for or sell their right to shares of
new stock. The meeting was attended
by large number of capitalists, many
of whom made speeches condenning the
action OF the railway company.

1t is estimated that 10 per cent. was
sold by small stockholders, and princi-
pal owners will exercise their subscrip-
ton privilege.
Great Indignation Expressed. 4,
There seems to be no end to the eX-
preston of Indignation over the meth 4
adopted by the Milwaukee management
in financing its stock issue. The follow
ing commentary by well-known market
authority seems to reflect the opposition
sentiment on the subject:
AS Il piece Of financing the st. Paul deal
Is the most horrible botch ever perpetrated
by supposedly Intelligent men. We do not
believe that they wilfully tried to cheat
the small shareholder, but that the trouble
was due TO the hurried way In which the
plan was prepared after 1t was discovered
that Mr.. Hill had brought his request for
S15O,ooo,00o Of new capital to Wall street

With it's golden roof and its rafter

And share celestial mirth and laughter.
But oft grieve apart in lonely pain

With shining cherub and with angel bright,

But mother mine | want TO sit with YOU,
And hear you tell a fairy story.
And oh, want TO hear you laugh and sing
Mother, want my toys and everything.

Mother, come out to the grass and the dew,
And I'll smile from my little grave at you.

Because the report of medical inspec>

York schools recommended that the sum
Of $4,000 be appropriated for the pur-
pose of supplying eyeglasses to INDECENT
pupils. He declared that inasmuch as
attendance at school is compulsory, the
school authorities are in duty bound to
supply glasses for pupils whose eyes are
defective. But the school board rejected
the recommendation, arguing that the
city might as reasonably be asked to buy
food. clothing, or even roller skates. for
children as to supply them with eye
glasses Nevertheless there seems to be
strong tendency i'll New York toward
medical help for children who are phys

discovered that in thousands of cases
the reports of the examining physicians
have given parents their first notification
of trouble among their little ones, and
that many have thus been prompted to

BUILDING A BIG PLANT
AT THE BLuESTONE

Electricity is going to play an i'm
portant part in the treatment of the ores
of this district At least one property,
the Bluestone, has proven by a thorough
and complete series of experiments that
from 90 to 95 per cent of the values can
be saved by electrolysis.
In view of the success attaching to
the experiments of Captain DeLamar
and his staff, many of the other prop
critics with ores of similar character
are contemplating the use of electricity.
Whether or not Heinze will take up
his option on the famous Bluestone and
whether or not, if he does, he will find
it advantageous to carry out the plans of
DeLamar, it is fact, nevertheless. that
at the present time preliminary work for
the erection of gigantic plant for the
treatment of the Bluestone product is
progressing undated.
force of men is now engaged max
ing brick to be used in the construction
of building large enough to provide
room for plant which it is reported will
be capable of treating 1000 tons of ore
every twenty-four hours. This brick is
being moulded near the Bluestone prop
erty and for that reason the general
activity at the mine, some distance from
Yerington, is not generally known.
That Heinze option is a matter of
much concern to the people of Yering-

the TIMES will pay liberal reward for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of anyone knowing the facts
about Heinze and the Bluestone. who
