SUGAR TRANSFERS SLOW.
Brokers Complain about Delay IN
Making Changes of Stock.

Complaint was made by many brokerage houses
yesterday the delay in making transfers of
American Sugar stock since the books were opened
week ago to-day. The greatest delay was said to
be in odd share lots. although some brokers said
that they had not yet received the one hundred
share certificates deposited for tranfer Monday.
1t said that in hundred lots such transfer
should not take more than twenty-four hours.
As the commission houses cannot borrow money
on stock in transfer the delay considerable
hardship particularly If it is for a large amount OF
stock 1t also causes scarcity Of stock in the
loan crowd Some brokers called attention to this
latter fact doubt suiting the purposes Of the
so-caled insiders" in American Sugar. but the
general opinion that the delay due to the
recent great market activity in the stock, which
had caught the company unprepared to handle the
large amount of shares deposited for transfer.
This reason for the delay substantiated by
c. r. Heke, secretary of the American Sugar Re
fnng Company. Mr.. Heike said that the office had
been swamped with stock deposited for transfer
since the books opened. and that while 1t had
hurried the work much as possible 1t had not
had time take of all the stock that came IN.
and the delay in making the transfers un-
avoidabe. He said that there 500 new stock
holders, and that a great many Of the old stock
holders had transferred their stock The company
has 1900 stockholders.
The head of a large brokerage house, in
menting the delay in transferring Sugar stock.
said that great deal of it doubtless due to
the fact that in the late panic much OF the stock
bought in small lots, which took more time to
transfer than hundred share lots He also called
attention that most of the stock is held
in New England, where the unit OF trading is fifty
shares, and that not being listed on the Boston
Stock Exchange it had to be bought in New York,
where the unit is hundred shares. This, he ex
planned. required the stock to be split up. which
took time
Another cause for delay. this said. was that
the company. following old established methods,
rs a preceding
the quarterly dividend periods and that the last
time they closed in the big slump in the
stock following the death of President Havemeyer.
AS a result of the heavy sales in this period. he

Deerfeld Man Ends Life by Bullet.


Knute Gjerstad OF Deerfield, about 40
years old, clerk for M. j. Berje, hardware
dealer, committed suicide Monday morn
ing, about mile west of London near
the Northwestern railroad tracks, with a

complained for several days.
He was a widower and leaves two
daughters. One is working in Madison
and the other is attending school in
Deer6eld. Gjerstad went to London
Sunday night, but failed to return on
the train Monday morning. No one had
seen him with a rifle, but about 9 o'clock
he was found by Iver Nelson, nephew of
United States Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa. The bullet entered his right tenn
pie and went out the top OF his head.

Gone to Her Rest.

Martha Gibbs was born Dec. %, 1889,
at Pillars Point, jefferson county, New
York. She was next to the Youngest
child in family Of eleven children, all
of whom have preceded her with the ex-
ception of her youngest brother, Joseph
Gibbs.
At the age of 10 years she moved with
her parents to Wisconsin, settling in the
town of Porter, Rock county, on the farm
since known as the Gibbs home. She
was married to Charles Ell. Darlington
when she was sixteen years of age and
to this union was born one daughter.
Her husband died in 1865. leaving her
widow at 25 years of age. Her life was
then devoted to her only daughter and
lily. Her life was one certainly not lived
ia vain. She was true, noble woman,
faithful and loving mother and kind
and good neighbor- A cheerful word
was always waiting all those who met
her.
For the last % years she has made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. G. G..
Hoague, who resides on portion OF the
Gibbs farm, where, on March 9th after a
few days illness, she departed from this

Early in life she joined the Latter Day
Saints church, later uniting with the
Reorganized church OF l.. ID. S. Her
heart was warm in the work and she
proved faithful to the very end OF her
life. Her faith was strong in the resur
rection-of the dead and her life was a
testimony to those left to mourn. Her
daughter and family consisting of hus-
band and two sons, and an only brother.
besides many friends, are left to mourn
her loss.

CONSUMERS of electric light will feel
somewhat assured that they are not get
ting the worst of it by the expert testi-
mony brought out at a meeting of the
electric light people with the state rail
way commission last week, which went
to show that nearly all electric meters
run too slowly. In other words, the
consumer on a meter seldom paid for
the current consumed. 1t was also
brought out that gas meters generally
registered too fast. These facts have
been demonstrated by series OF expert
ments and the people interested in these
public utilities very generally accepted
them as true. What the railway com.
mission was trying to get at was to get
the views of the managers of the utilities
regarding measures to remedy these de-
fects.
