people in Prince street that everyone
who owed him a cent would be- sued
at once unless he was allowed to do
business. All accounts will be placed
in the hands of lawyers. 1t is said
that the association will also do this,

contented themselves with saying thai
they wanted peace n would welcome

PEELED to withhold my approval to this

PEELED to withhold my approval to this
act
Aside from the subway bill. the Gov
ernor sets forth his reasons for vetoing
twenty-five additional measures. A
synopsis of these bills was printed in
the EVENING STAR yesterday. The
next important bill which the Governor
vetoed was Assembly bill No. 1856
1t was introduced by Assemblyman
Whyte. 1t was Familiarity known as
Atlantic City's salt water bill, and was
backed by a mysterious person named
Cherry, and, it vas said, gave the East
Jersey Water Company power to con-
denim under one of it's jokers. The
hotel men of Atlantic City rose in OPP
position to the measure. The bill per-
mitted three or more persons to form
the water company.
The bill, according to the veto, per-
mitted the corporation to take al the
power from the general corporation act,
but none of it's limitations or r~estric-
lions are imposed. The Governor says
the bill is broader than any corpora
ton act on the statute books, and adds
"In addition to that. the form of its
certificate is not provided for; the
amount of its capital is in no way
limited. 1t may have any amount of
capital which it may see fit. The de-
nomination of its shares is not provided
for; In fact, unless it is possible for it
to use the form of certificate under the
general corporation act, there is no
form of certificate provided
The purpose of the bill was to per-
nit a corporation to divert salt water
from the Atlantic ocean,, TO empound
the same and to lay pipes and to sell
the water to municipalities. A plant
was to be installed at Atlantic City.
There is no provision for the payment
to any municipality for the right and
privilege to enter upon its property
and supply water.
II is also given power to enter into
contracts with municipalities to supply
water for the extinguishment Of fires
for a period of thirty years. and under
the provisions of the bill it may fur
nish to private consumers, the maxi
mum rates for which shall not exceed
those fixed by the municipality for the
supply of private consumers with salt
water.
Concluding. the Governor says:
1.-THE franchise granted is broad
enough to compass every municipality

Gave Dividends Before.

AS to the payment of dividends to
policy-holders Mr.. Dryden said that
after 1897 cash dividends were given
policy-holders who had been insured
five, ten and fifteen years. Mr.. Linda
bury's purpose in getting this testi-
mony from the witness was TO show
that the Prudential had for years given
policy-holders benefits without any
protest from any of the stockholders
Mr.. Lindabury read from a printed
sheet sent years ago to policy-holders
In which President Dryden said that
in accordance with the principle of the
company a concession, or dividend,
would be given to all who were insured
five, ten and fifteen years, and the
board of directors voted the first con-
cession in 1897.
Mr.. Lindabury asked Mr.. Dryden If
the Metropolitan and John Hancock
companies had not made returns to
policy-holders in 1897 and before. The
vice-chancellor remarked that he did
rot see the relevancy of the testimony
Mr.. Lindabury said the Metropolitan
ard John Hancock were n are the
principal competitors of the Pruden-
tails industrial insurance business.
and he wanted to show that the above
declared cash dividends, called returns
to their policy-holders. The court let
Mr.. Lindabury &C on with his questions
about concessions to policy-holders
Mr.. Ljndabury said he considered this
testimony the most important feature
in the suit, for 1t showed that benefits
had been voted by the directors of the
Prudential for years without "a protest
from stockholders.
Mr.. Dryden said that the payment of
dividends TO policyholders had resulted
in a very large increase In the number
of new policies issued each year. One
Of the reasons for the payment of a
cash dividend was to increase the bust
ness of the company. and another rea-
son was hat 1t was the principle of the
company from its formation to give
benefits tofpolicyholders of the company
because of the success it was hoped 1t
would bring. Mr.. Dryden said no pro-
test lac ever been made TO him by a
director or a ~policyhulder against the
granting of concessions to policyholders
