CARISA MINORITY
GIVEN BODY BLOW
Judge Sturteyant Rules Ac=
cused Officers of Corpora
ton Are Blameless

:
All the turbulence which disturbed
the affairs of the carisa chemical com
pany was quieted yesterday by Judge
.sturtevant. who denied the petition of
the minority stock holders of the cor-
peratien for an injunction to prevent
the officers and the ma jority stock
holders from conducting the affairs of
the concern and selling delinquent
a share had not been paid
: The court issued the order AFT 10
o'clock yesterday Promptly at II the
victorious officers sold 30O.0 900 shares of
delinquent stock which had belonged
to the recalcitrant minority. and thar
minority was practically obliterated. for
the stock WAS purchased by the trium-
plant ma ajorfty, The stock Of some 400
persons was affected by the trans
fer. and while the sale was conducted
formally and after due notice had been
given. those stock holders will learn
for the first time when they read this
article that they are no longer inter-
ested in the prospective operations of
the Carisa chemical company. which is
to engage in turning the crust of San
Luis Obispo county into baking soda
and other alkaline products.
The decision of Judge Sturtevant re-
called the riots which year ago ragged
daily in the vicinity of the Office of the
company in this city.
The minority stock holders, led by T
Norman Harvey and Oakland residents.
holding 10000 out of 100000 shares of
stock, accused the officers of the COM
pany of criminal mismanagementf The
officers were: President e. c.. Dud-
ley; general manager, F. NJ Meigs; and
directors, j. C. Campbell, A. ID. Cut
Ter. and w. S. Upham. James H. Boyer
was their attorney.
Norman Harvey through Attorney c.
G. Boynton applied for an injunction. to
restrain the officers from selling stock
delinquent ON assessment No. 90: dis
posing of any money of the company,
or conducting its business. 1t was
charged that the officers had embezzled
$1350O0 belonging to the company and
had Illegally issued over 100000 shares
of stock.
A temporary restraining order was
granted and Judge Sturtevant APP
pointed Attorney Harper to take testi-
mony in the case. Yesterday morning
the court sustained the report of the
commissioner. declaring that no. proof
of wrong doing had been given and
vindicated the accused officers of the
corporation.

WEIRD HUMAN BEING
ACTS LIKE AuTOMATON
Curious Crowd Divides Opinion
at Koenig's Shoe Store

A crowd fills the sidewalk looking at
a weird figure in the window Of Koe-
nig's shoe store at Kearny and Post
streets. II is called Nosdivd. He. is
named Edward: r. Davidson. It's weird
because while it. has all the outlines of
human being. and a very good looking
chap at that, it moves only in response
to the buttons pushed by. Leslie Dunn,
the operator. The eyelids, even, do not
move. IT seems incredible that one
should not wink for many minutes on
end It seems Incredible that one
should raise his hands with such jerlry
purely mechanical motions And the
crowd bites. Il tell you he amt hu-
man neither" says the tall woman with
the Rose Stahl wad of gum to her COM
panion. Look at his eye muscles He
amt moved 'em and / been watching
him real sharp for five minutes now"
Yet this automaton with the shoe
in one hand and the plaeard stuck in
between the stiff fingers of the other
is very much alive Young Davidson
has travelled all over the coast with
his advertising stunt, and everywhere
they ask: Say is he alive or not?v

NIAGARA FROZEN UP
|. ON AMERICAN SIDE
Two Men Walk on CONCEALED Water
from Prospect Point to Bath
IsIand-Third Time
in History

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Feb. IA
Only a tiny rivulet, not deep or swift
enough to carry pulp log over the
brink, is flowing over the American
side of Niagara Falls. A strong north
east wind, which has blown since Fri
day, has held back the water and al
lowed the ice to gain foothold
Two employees Of the American res
ervatiOn walked from Prospect Point
nearly to Bath island this morning
A great wall Of ice runs from the
head of Goat island to the American
mainland, through which only tiny
streams are able to trickle.
This wall has even encroached on
the Canadian channel, extending out
some 200 feet beyond the Third Sister
island, greatly diminishing the flow
over the Horseshoe.
Only the very apex of the Canadian
falls is left, and that is robbed of half
of its flow
The gorge below is chicken and the
rapids have lost their fury, while the
whirlpool is barely in motion.
This is only the third time that this
combination of wind and ice has thus
affected the falls since the white man
came here. The other occasions were
on March 20, 184S, and March %, 1903.

APPROPRIATIONS TO
OCCUPY CONGRESS
Senate So Far Behind That Night
Sessions Will Be Necessary-ob-
jectionabIe Nominations
to Go Over

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Congress
this week will give all possible at
tention to appropriation bills, as it has
become a. pressing necessity that both
houses shall act promptly if the meas
ureS are to become laws in the few
remaining days of the session.
The senate will take up the naval bill
on Monday and when that is disposed
Of the postoffice bill will receive at
tention.
The senate is so far behind that
night sessions will be necessary. The
house is in better shape, but has little
time to spare.
Work on the Indian bill will be re-
sumed on Monday. 1t will be followed
either by the consular and diplomatic
bill, or the fortifcation bill.
The senate has it's hands full and
early attention will be given to the
Canadian boundary waterways treaty
and the Newfoundland treaty The
Panama and Colombia treaties may not
be disposed of until after March 4.
The nominations to which there are
objections will go over. with the result
that the incoming president will have
an opportunity to fill the places with
men of his selection.
The house tomorrow will consider the
bill giving separate statehood to New
Mexico and Arizona and likely will
pass it.
Prospects for the bill in the senate
are unfavorable.
The bill removing the constitutional
obstructions in the way of Senator
Knox becoming secretary of state like
ly will be fayorably acted upon by the
house.

MANY ASPIRE TO
C0MMITTEESHTPS
DESIRABLE PLACES ARE SOON
TO BE FILLED
Death and Retirement Create Import
ant Vacancies-Narious Senior
Members in Line for
Chairmanships
[By Associated Press.I

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Many de-
sirable committee places are to be
filled in the senate when the Sixty-frst
congress assemblies.
Including the successor to Senator
Knox there will be thirteen new SEN
atorS.
But it is not settled that Senator
Knox will become eligible for the ap-
pOintment to the cabinet The minor
ity report submitted by the senate com
mittee yesterday indicates that the
amendment will be bitterly fought, and
prospects of it's defeat today were said
to be far brighter than yesterday.
If the constitutional point which has
been raised at Washington bars Senator
Knox from accepting the portfolio OF
state in the Taft cabinet, it is believed
that former Senator John G. SpOOnel
of Wisconsin will be secretary of state
In January, 1907 Senator Knox voted
on. the bill to increase the salary of the
secretary of state, and the constitution
provides that no senator or congress-
man shall be appointed to any federal
office which shall have been created Oh
the pay raised within the time fol
which the member was elected.
It has frequently been reported iL
Washington that Mr.. Taft considered
appointing Mr.. SpOOner and that the
latter was not inclined to again enter
official life. Now, however, friends OF
the former senator believe he will ac-
cept, providing Mr.. Knox is disquali-
fled by the constitution.
The committee places of Senator Alli-
son of Iowa also remain to be filled.
The vacancy as chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations, caused by the
death of Mr.. Allison, will be filled by
Senator Hale, whose retirement as
chairman of the committee on naval
affairs will cause the promotion OF
Senator Perkins to that place.
The retirement of Mr.. HemenWay,
Republican, and Mr.. Teller, Democrat
will make vacancies in the committee
on appropriations.
Mr.. Wetmore of Rhode Island, Dolli-
yer of Iowa and Nelson of Minnesota
are all looked upon as candidates to
succeed Mr.. HemenWay, but the strong
sentiment among western senators for
a geographical distribution Of such
places will probably result in the ap-
pointment of a western senator
The most important committee dur
ing the extra session will be that on
finance, which will be charged with
considering the tariff bill when it comes
from the house. Vacancies were made
in this committee by the retirement of
Senators Teller, Hansbrough and Platt,
and by the death of Mr.. Allison.
Senator Gallinger has declined an ap-
pointment ON finance, and the vacancies
may be filed by Senators Lodge, Car
ter and Nelson, although McCumber
and Clapp are also possibilities. Sen
ator Teller's place may be given to
Senator Clay of Georgia.
Will Not Deter Him
Lack of unanimity of congress in re-
moving the disability. however, will not
alone be sufficient to deter Senator
Knox from accepting.
Senator Knox, who is quoted as cons
fiding to some of his friends that he

Many Acts of Heroism Performed
During Last Moments of the
Tragedy Near Cape
TerarWht
LBy Associated Press.J ]

WELLINGTON, n. T., Feb. IA
Fifty-two bodies have been recovered
from the wrecked steamer Penguin OF
the Union Steamship company, which
went on the rocks Friday night off Cape
Terawhiti
Six Of those aboard the Penguin are
unaccounted for.
In all the passengers and crew num-
bered 100 The ship struck about IL
O'Clock at night, but the captain re-
manned on the bridge and after his
vessel slid into deep water was able to
steer her closer into shore
The seas were running high and the
small boats and rafts which were
hastily launched could not withstand
the waves.
The boats and RATS were overturned
but while the boats practically sank,
the RATS righted themselves a number
of times.
Many acts of heroism were per-
formed, some of the stronger of those
struggling in the water helping the
weaker to regain the frail crafts.
After several hours of buffeting, the
majority of the survivors on the RATS
reached the shore, demonstrating that
rafts are more serviceable than boats
in heavy sea close to a rocky shore.
One raft with ten men aboard thrice
capsized when but a short distance
from the land, but all scrambled back
and were ultimately cast upon the
cliff and were saved.
-Four boats came ashore some hours
later and all were badly crushed.
