CORPORATION COMMISSION REPORT
Result Of investigation with Recon-
mendations for Amendment Of Exist
ing Laws, Submitted to Legislature

The report OF the commission appoint
ed by Gov. c. II. Prouty 10 Investigate the
existing laws relating to the formation OF
municipal and private corporations and
draft bill embodying recommenda ticns
FOR the amendment OF existing laws was
presented to the legislature on the first
day OF the session. The chairman Of the
commission is Clarke c. Fits Of this
town and the other members are Joseph
T. Gleason OF Lyndonville and Charles ID.
Watson Of st. Adams
There has been decided feeling
throughout the state that too much OF the
time OF recent sessions has been taken
up in considering special corporation
measures. The commission has compiled
data showing that about two fifths OF the
entire time OF each session has been
occupied with these matters. 1t recon-
mends a general law for the incorporation
OF villages and for the amendment Of ex
listing city and village charters. The COM
mission did not think advisable to recon-
mend general law for the INCORPORATION
OF cities on the ground that the creation
OF city may involve the division OF a
town and an increase in membership in
the House OF Representatives.
The tentative draft OF the bill provides
that villages may be chartered on petit
ton OF a majority OF the legal voters in
town meeting residing within the terri
torial limits Of the proposed village. The
pcutIon Would ne presented to the public
service commission which would, after a
public hearing have power to determine
the plan OF government. what powers il
might exercise, and the territory to be in
cluded and then the proposed charter
would be submitted to the voters OF the
territory for their adoption. There is in
effect referendum at the beginning and
at the conclusion Of proceedings with the
check afforded by the hearing before the
puzzle service commission.
The result Of the commissioners study
OF the general laws relating to private
corporations is the proposal Of several
amendments TO the general law as they
believe that present laws are Inadequate
ana out OF date. They have recommend
ed that the debt limit which makes di-
rector liable for asserting to the contrac-
ton OF debts in excess OF two thirds OF
the pald In capital be removed. They al
so recommend that where ca pital stock is
issued in exchange for property a de-
scription of the property or consideration
must be filed with the secretary of state

taken place in Springfield, Mass, in many
years Thomas Donlin, hostler at G. II.
Gould's livery stable, was murdered
Saturday night by Howard Steward, a
young negro who also was employed at
the stable. Antoine Duprey was slashed
several times with a knife in a furious
night in which he caught the murderer,
a boy was struck over the head with a
pitchfork in Stewards hands and a wo-
man was knocked down and rendered
unconscious by Steward in his mad rush
TO escape. The negro ran amuck i'm anger
resulting from a dispute over 50 which
he claimed Donlin owed him. Steward,
with his hand in his pocket, advanced
upon Donlin and the latter stepped back,
throwing his head backward. AS he did
so Steward slashed at his throat twice
with a jackFnife, severing arteries which
resulted in his death soon afterwards.
Steward has served several terms in
prison in southern states

When an incident like the following

carry weight with our readers. So many
strange occurrences go the rounds of the

to the actual experience OF our citizens,
and their public utterances regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no more

ATLANTA, Ga. September 2l.-Mrs.
c. W. Morse was allowed yesterday to
see her husband, who is serving a SEN
tence of fifteen years in the Atlanta fed

yesterday morning and went at once to
the prison. She was admitted to the
main corridor, where visitors are required
to wait until prisoners they wish to see
are taken to the warden's room.
When Morse was summoned he was at
work in the library, and his walk to the
warden's room brought him through the
hall where his wife was waiting. AS
Mrs Morse saw her husband approach
she ran to greet him. Her arms were al

up and dragged the prisoner back.

If you would attend gathering OF

that they compare favorably in appear
ance and manners and intelligence and
education with the members of any con-
ference or presbytery or ministerial as
ISOLATION in the United States. and that
is one of the reasons why their work
has been so successful. The Moslem
priests and the clergy of the orthodox
Greek and Armenian churches are almost
universally uncouth and illiterate men
and the public in Turkey are prompt and
keen in detecting the difference.
President Angel Of the University of
Michigan, who was United States min
lister to Turkey for several years, once
said: so far as Americans are concerned
the missionary work in European Turkey
and Asia Minor is and long has been
almost exclusively in the hands Of the

BALTIMORE, Nd, September 21-
Gov Crothers announces that starting
with the next fiscal year. which begins
October 1, all state off1ceholders and
those connected with state institutions
will be required to ATTEND personally to
the duties of their respective places. BY
that time he believes the vacation season

readily devote their time to their posi-
tons.
In making the announcement the gov
ernor doed not discuss the names of any
officials nor any complaints that have
been made.
The duties Of the offices are such that
they require the attention of the hold
ers," said the governor. During the
past few years these duties have greatly
Increased and require more attention
from the officers than they probably did
in the past. Then, too, the public de-
mands that the officeholders should
strictly attend to the duties which are
assigned to them by the state. 1 have
no criticism to make of any officeholder,
