Ralph sRvidge, SIX Feet High, the
joining Ond

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Aug. l. - Ralph
savidge, the latest recruit to be added to
the Cincinnati list of possibilities for next
season. is regarded by many ball players
as the best pitcher in the present circuit
in the southern league. savidge has steam,
curves. height. weight and everything, ball
players say. to make him a great pitcher.
He stands over six feet high, weighs over
lSO pounds and is Of the raw-boned builo
tina does not take on much surplus flesh.
savidge is known as an
autumn pitcher, because in his four years
in the south, three of which were spent
in the South Atlantic league. he has shown
his best efforts after the middle stages
of the pennant races. The Cincinnatis also
may have secured a Jewel in young Nc

VANDERBILT CUP RACE COURSE
Work on Long Island Motor Parkway
PrOgressing Rapidly.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-Reports of a
very satisfactory nature were made con-
corning the Vanderbilt cup race at a meet
Ing of the racing board Of the American
Automobile association recently. An
nouncement was made that work on the
Long Island motor parkway Is progressing
at a most encouraging rate. several miles
having already been completed. Infor-
nation concerning entries for the Wander
bilt cup race from various sources indi-
cate that the list will be larger, than ever
before, including a substantial number of
foreign cars. 1t is also most probable that
an elimination race will be necessary to
decide the American team, though this year
ten cars are permitted from every country
instead of five cars as in previous years.
Applications for boxes and parking
spaces already being filed. and a letter was
read from the Automobile club OF Hart
ford making Tequisition for fifty park
ing spaces. Advices have been received
from many other clubs to the effect that
they are contemplating tours to New York
and Long Island at the time OF the cup
race.
In order that all applications for sane
lions may be carefully scrutinized, a spe-
cial committee for this purpose was
designed, consisting OF Harry T. Clinton,
Frank @. Webb and A. r. Pardington.

RECORD CROWD AT POLO GROUNDS
Exact Figures Not Given out, hut the
Attendance ives Eres

NEW YORK, Aug. Though the Of
fetal figures were not announced. last
Saturdays crowd at the polo grounds broke
the record for a base ball audience. That
means that considerable more than 5000
people viewed the game-not counting the
thousands who stood on the F~1fty-fifth
street viaduct and on Coogan's bluff.
Neither does this count include the free
list.
On October 10. 1906. the Giants and Ath-
letics played the second game Of their
worlds championship series before an inn
mense crowd. The national commission,
which had charge Of the box office, an
nounced that 24,992 persons had paid to
see this game. Eight more paid admis-
sions would have made 1t 5000. The word
Of Secretary Fred Knowles after last Satur-
days game is accepted as fact, and Mr..
Knowles declared that It was the biggest
crowd he had even seen there.
In neither league do club owners give
out the actual attendance figures. Some
Of them profess to do so. but there are al
ways some added starters to these state
ments. The New York club has never an
nounced attendance figures, and with the
exception of the big game in 1906, the esti-
mates have been mere guess work. On
Saturday last the management were COM
PEELED to cease selling tickets.

JUDGE MCBRIDE TELLS A
HUMOROUS STORY ABOUT
HIS TRIP TO McMINNvILLE

When went over to McMinnville
the other day TO deliver an address at
the college commencement exer-
cises," said Judge Mcbride to little
knot OF hearers yesterday, "a slightly
embarrassing situation arose. On the
journey ! had worn an outing shirt,
and before preparing before the
young people fastened to put on a
clean shirt and the regulation white
collar. But | unfortunately had not
brought collar button. 1t was quite
embarrassing. was about to wan

purchase one, when young man, the
pastor of one Of the churches, spoke
up:
Don't go out he said. Here's
one"
'He put his hand in his pocket and
pulled out several took one and
thanked him; | was quite curious, but
it hardly seemed the right think to
ask him where he got all those col
lar buttons.
"Oh, | get lots Of EN-" he said
Collar buttons, trouser buttons, all
kinds of buttons; in the contribution
box, you know, and | always carry a
lot of them around with me for good
luck
80 it appears to be really true
that the preachers still do get but
tons in the contribution boxes" con-
cluded Judge Mcbride, meditatively;
"but he was the first parson | know

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-06-21

A second suit, in favor OF the
stockholders, was also brought by
Attorney Smith. 1t appears that the
two promoters went out in and
around Astoria and prevailed upon
certain people to invest; and it is
said that among them were many
women, servant girls, widows, and so
on. When this second suit came up
for hearing the defense entered de.
murrer and this demurrer was sus-
tanned upon technical legal grounds
Eby Judge Mcbride. The law COW
ering the subject in this state was not
in very clear condition; but the
matter reached the supreme court
and only few days ago the Supreme
court decided that there was error in
sustaining the demurrer. The suit Of
the stockholders, therefore, will be
heard upon its merits next fall and
it is understood there is perhaps a
sufficient amount Of property to re-
imburse them in the event the case
is decided in their favor.
The decision by the supreme court
made few days ago settles the law
on this question, and among other
things this court in effect says
Promoters Of an incorporation,
like its directors, are deemed to sus-
tain towards the members of the
company, the relation of trustee
towards his cestui qui trust, and this
being SO, they will not be permitted
to speculate out of that relation, or
derive any secret benefit from it.
They are bound to disclose fully all
material facts touching their relation
to the stockholders, including the
amount which they are to get for
services as promoters. This confden-
tial relation extends not only to pres
ent stockholders but also to persons |
whom they solicit, etc, and their in |
territorial omission to disclose facts
to intending subscribers is as much
fraud as positive Interpretations"
In all the cases, the plaintiff are

'RORITCHS RECOVER

AGAINST NEHALEM COAL
COMPANY FINALLY SETTLED

IN The circuit court yesterday Judge
Mcbride handed down decision in

OF Charles Rohitch and Frederick w,
Robitch, father and son, against the
Nehalem Coal Company The vic
tory is apparently complete one for

eral years, and another case, that OF
the stockholders OF sthe company
against the company, will be heard
at the September term OF the court
In 1901 w, ]. Cook and w. Y,
Jones conceived the plan OF exploit
in gthe coal veins in the vicinity Of
Nehalem. and il would appear that
they had little or no money to carry
on their rather gigantic plans. They
interested Mrs. NJ. S. Copeland, and
the testimony has shown that Mrs
Copeland offered to put mp the sum
of $4,000, for to her it is evident that
plan OF developing the coal fields
looked legitimate and bright A
company was formed with the three
persons named as the incorporators;
and the first important step OF the
new company was to give note to
Mrs. Copeland for the $4,000 she adj
vanced and the terms OF the note
provided that she was to be paid out
of the first moneys received in the
sale OF stock in the company.
Cook and Jones then secured an
option on the land belonging to the
Robtch's, where the coal veins were
supposed to be. The two men rep
resented to the Robitchs, father and
son that the Nehalem Company had
ample capital back OF it, and that it
was prepared to go ahead and work
the mines; upon these and other SINH
lar representations of Jones and
Cook - which were not true - the
Robitchs were prevailed upon to turn
their property over to the company,
taking therefor stock in the com
pany. AT this time the company was
capitalized for $4,000; its assets CON
sisted OF the $4,000 loaned by Mrs.
Copeland, and its liabilities consisted
OF the note for the same $4,000 The
rest OF the stock was therefore moth
ing but water"
in some way the Robitchs became
suspicious and asked to see the books
OF the concern, but failed. Soon after
they brought suit, and this suit has
been dragging along in the courts for
years until now They were repre-
sented BY Attorney J. H. Smith, who
has finally won the case. he two
men. Jones and Cook, are now in
Portland. 1t is understood that Mrs,
