The complaint charges that the Union
trust company has not executed it's
trust in good faith; that it's interests
are adverse to the interests of the
plaintiffs. and that it should not be
longer permitted to act as trustee. Also
that John u. Spreckels. A. B. Spreckels
and J. d. Spreckels Brothers & Co.
should not be allowed to choose the
successor TO the trusteeship. Where

Ownership of Bonds
1t is alleged that majority of the
outstanding bonds of the steamship
company are controlled by ]. ID.
SpreckeIs Brothers & Co, by j. d.
Spreckels and Adolph Spreckels; that
a fourth of the bond holders can waive
default in payment of interest on the
bonds; and on information and belief
II is averred that the parties in con-
troll waived default on the interest due
January ] of this year and intend TO
do the same on the interest due July
1 of this year. The complaint proceeds
IF the interest on said bonds shall be
hereafter waived the bonds held by the
plaintiffs will become of little value.
Plaintiffs are Informed and believe.
and upon such information and belief
aver that said defendants, the Oceanic
steamship company. said John j.
Spreckels Brothers & Co, said John ID.
Spreckels. said A B. Spreckels, and
said defendant. the Union trust COM
pany, the said trustee, have conspired
together and are acting in collusion
for the purpose of depreciating the
value of said outstanding bonds and
enabling the said ]. d. Spreckels Broth
ers & Co. said John d. Spreckels and
A. B. Spreckels, TO acquire all out
standing bonds of the said Oceanic
steamship company at prices far below
their actual value"
John d. Spreckels and A. B. Spreck-
els are charged with inducing the I'm
ion trust company to refuse during the
last six months to buy any outstanding
bonds for more than, half their face
value.
1t is pointed out that the trust agree
ment provides that no bond holder
, shall initiate any suit except through
the trustee; that fl takes a ma jority OF
the bond holders to remove the trustee
and one-tllird of the bond holders to

from the time 1T was organized. 1t is
equally true that the John d. Spreckels
& Brothers company has expended over
81 100000 of its own money in its ef-
forts to maintain the steamship line to
Australasia
The only executive officer of the
Oceanic steamship company receiving
salary is the secretary, and he is
paid s4S month for his services. The
purchasing of supplies for the Oceanic
steamship company is done by an en-
ploye of the John D. spreckels Broth

War to the Knife"
1T may be interesting to let the
public know that at the time of the
Oceanic steamship company's first de-
fault of interest in June, 19O7, went to
Rudolph and Gus to get them to sign
the waiver provided for in the trust
deed. Rudolph. not wanting to lose the
support of The Call or to start a mix
up at that time, refused to take any
stand in the matter and sent me to
Gus. Gus said he wouldn't agree to
the waiver and wouldn't attempt to
get his father to stand for it. as re-
Quested, but, on the contrary, would do
everything he could TO keep his father
from consenfing to it. He also told me
TO tell John d. Spreckels that from now
on it is war to the knife between him
and me- On the occasion of the second
default in payment John D. SpreckeIs

AdoIph SpreckeIs' Statement

When Adolph Spreckels had familiar
lied himself with the charges made in
the complaint he made the following
statement:
"As TO the charge of lobbying, ii is
a id lie. There never was any
money spent for that purpose.
Everybody knows that as there
were no subsidies given, 1T does not
pay to run these steamers. OF course,
il has been unfortunate for the COM
pany. We ran the line to Australia
until we were losing too much money
and had to withdraw the ships.
They are simply trying to bolster
up their position in the will case.
That's the animus of the whole thing.
It's simply ridiculous to throw as
pensions against a bank like the Union
trust company. They are of too high
a standing.
Its dirty case and in accord with
other things they have done. You
couldn't expect anything else from
them"
The San Francisco call., 1909-09-05
Untrue Allegation

with regard to the allegation that
the vessels of the Oceanic company are
underinsured, the allegation is untrue.
AS a matter of fact, the ships are in
sured for more than two-thirds of their
actual value.
.The allegation that there is con-
spiracy on the part of the Union trust
company and the John ID. Spreckels &
Brothers company to depreciate the
value of the stock of the steamship
company to enable the purchase of the
stock below its actual value is absurd
absolutely false.
aAs to the allegation that the Oceanic
steamship company has expended many
thousands of dollars for lobbying and
for other purposes alleged to have been
illegal, / can say that only about $4,000
was expended, in a perfectly open and
legitimate manner, in the effort to pre-
vail upon the federal government -
pass a subsidy bill to assist in MAIN
tanning the operation of line of steam
ers from San Francisco to Australasia.

Signed the Waivers

During his life Claus Spreckels him
self signed these waivers frequently.
There has been no violation of the
Union trust company's duties as set
forth in it's bond as trustee of the
Oceanic company. Neither has there
been any violation of the duties OF the
John d. Spreckels & Bros. company to-
ward the steamship company.

Statement by Samuels

Frederick =. SamuelS, assistant to
the president of the Oceanic steamship
company who is thoroughly familiar
with all of the affairs and workings
OF the corporation, upon looking over
the main allegations embodied in the
complaint. said:
I'm view of the fact that Rudolph
Spreckels and Claus A Spreckels Jr
recently secured a share each of the
stock of the Oceanic steamship COM
pany and had the books of the con-
am not surprised that they found so
little of moment to allege in their
complaint. We expected that they
would make some move of this kind
1t would appear that the action was
and an effort on the part of the COM
plainants TO discredit John ID. Sprecfx-
els in the eyes of the general public
And now as TO some of the allega-
tions made in the complaint: The al
legation that the Union trust company
as trustee for the Spreckels estate has
failed to collect the interest on the
bonds of the Oceanic steamship COM
pany owned by the estate is without
merit for the reason that the company
has not been able for some time to
pay interest on its bonds because no
interest was earned. In addition to
this good reason there is a provision
in the deed of trust that a majority
of the bond holders may at any time
instruct the trustee to waive default
in the payment of interest. This has
been the method of procedure in every
instance where the interest has not

THE ART OF FLYING.

The struggle for the conquest of
the air has put the whole civilized
world in a ferment, and it is no
wonder that the Wrights, the
pioneers in aerial navigation, should
view with something akin to amaze
ment the spread of public interest,
which today is almost mania. The
enormous crowds that focked to
witness the flights in Washington
were evidence of a revolution in
public opinion, which at first was
prone to ieer and laugh at the posi-
bility of flights in heavier than air
machines. The progress of the art
itself has been rapid under the spur
of thousands of dollars offered as
prizes in Europe and America for
successful flights and the solution of
difficult aviation problems. The
wide spread interest in the
exhibition and contest at Rheims,
now in progress, marks the first
celebration of the conquest of the
air. About forty aeroplanes have
been entered for the races and con-
tests, and the results of the tests
will furnish the basis for even more
rapid development than the past
few years have witnessed.
The fact that thousands of invent.
ors are at work upon the problem Of
perfecting the airship is forecast
that the evolution of the aeroplane
will be as fast probably as that Of
the automobile, which has made
wonderful strides within a decade
Today's airships ten years from now
will be curiousities for the museums
like the ancient high-wheeled
bicycle. The Wrights have paved
the way, and they may well be
called the Fultons of aviation.
Whatever the future may bring
forth in the way of an airship, their
fame is as secure as that of the
builder of the Clermont. - Washing

"The little informal dancing par.

"The little informal dancing par
ties given at the Gaiety from time
to time are becoming immensely
popular. The reason, possibly, is
the innovations introduced by some
Of the boys. Dave Bloomfield has
declared that sitting out waltz is
now more fashionable than dancing.
The only difference being you sit
instead of dance The mans right
arm is around the girls waist while
his left hand holds her right. Her
left hand is placed upon his
shoulder, while her head rests upon
his manly 'buzzum,' and all they
have to do is to sit and listen to the
music. Now that is something like
it.
"We have always regarded it
nuisance to have to gallop mile or
two in order to get good hug. A
room full of people, sitting around
on sofas, hugging to music, is more
gratifying. This will give the old
rheumatic brethren another chance
to waltz. Most men waltz, not for
the dance, but for the position, and
while man may lose his appetite
for dancing, he has got to get mighty
old before he loses his appetite for
hugging pretty girl.
Belle Fourche is always up to
date and this new dance is bound to
be popular here, for we have not
found a man who is not willing to
blow in dollar on the deal. Yet
many people wonder why we don't
waltz"

American farm.
If anything were wanting to prove
that after all, it is agriculture that
is at the bottom of the nations well
fare, such figures as these supply it.
