KING AND QUEEN DINE =
AT PUBLIC TABLE D'HOTE

BERLIN, Oct. S.--A Stuttgart paper
contains the following telegram from
Friedrichshaven:
To-day the new Kurgarten hotel had
the unusual honor of being able to
welcome and entertain the king and
queen of Wurtemberg. with the two
princes, who dined at the general table
d'hote. At the express desire of their
majesties, no special arrangements
We're made, either in the composition
of the menu or in the general dining
hall, which caused no small aStonish-
ment, especially among the Americans
and other foreigners present. For it
had probably never before been the
lot of any of them to eat at the same
table with a king. After the repast
the guests spent some time on the
hotel terrace, so that one had an op-
portunity, while smoking a midday
cigar and reading the latest imperial
speech to reflect on the great differ
ence which exists between North ana

CALIFORNIA LAW
PROTECTS STOCK
Authority in Promotion Matters
Declares Investing Public
Needs to Be Informed

In view of the vast sums of money
that have been and are being invested
by people the world over in the stocks
of California corporations organized for
the purpose of developing the wonder
full petroleum resources Of the Golden
State, a word about the corporation
laws of California and the protection
they afford to minority stockholders
seems most pertinent at this time.
Particularly is this subject apropos
because of the widespread and inherent
feeling or belief, which might be called
a superstition, that the minority Stock
holder, he who holds the small interest
in the large corporation, is in perpetual
danger of being oppressed by the acts
of the majority, dispossessed of his in
terest and unable to achieve the rights
and benefits and eprivileges which, he
feels he is rightfully entitled to.
This is, however, a fallacy, for the
corporation laws of the state of Cali
fornia grant to the holder of one share
identical rights, privileges and benefits
and the protection of his investment
as accrues to the holder or the ma
jority interest.
PROTECTED BY LAW
AS soon as the stockholders of cor
porations fully appreciate their rights
and privileges and asert those rights
the sooner will be eliminated the many
frauds perpetrated by directors and
the majority interest, which could,
upon the assertion of the rights
granted them by the law, be prevented
or remedied by any stockholder, how
ever small his holdings.
In an interview on the subject of the
rights and protection Of the small stock
holder under the laws of California,
Lea Bleakmore, widely known and
successful corporation expert, with Of
fees in the Balboa building, San Fran
cisco, who has protected the interests
of minority stockholders in some of the
most famous fraud cases on the Pacific
coast, gives some interesting informa-
ton in regard to California's stringent
corporation laws He said:
within a period of five years the
corporation laws of the majority of the
states have undergone radical revision,
tending to the greater protection
of the minority stockholder, the elm
ination of frauds in corporation man
agement, wash sales of stock ex-
changes and false or exaggerated re-
ports by brokers or promoters.
"In the enactment of such legisla-
tion and in the strict enforcement of
those laws, California is an example
worthy of emulation of her sister
states.
"The act of 1905 (lxnown as section
564 penal code) is of special interest
to both stockholders and persons who
contemplate becoming interested in
corporations operating within the
state. This section is as follows:
VIoLAToRS SEVERELY PUNISHED
Section 1. Any superintendent, di-
rector, secretary, manager, agent or
other officer of any corporation formed
or existing under the laws Of this state
or transacting business in the same,
and any person pretending or holding
himself out as such superintendent, d.
rector. secretary, manager, agent or
other officer who shall willfully SUBJ
scribe, sign, indorse, verify or other

TURKS TO RESIST CHRISTIANS

BELGRADE, Oct. S-The Young
Turk committee at Salonika entertains
the idea of distributing among the
Servian and Bulgarian villages in
Macedonia settlers from Albania, as the
Bosnian Moslems have proved unable
to resist the Christians. The Young
Turks in this pursue two aims, to
break down the resistance Of the un-
ruly mountaineers' of Albania and at
the same time to diminish the revo-

LOCAL INSURANCE COMPANY
HAS 20 AGENTS COMING

Only a few months ago work was be-
gun on the organization of life in
surance company in FL Paso, when Ben
F. McNulty & Co. began organizing
the Two Republics Life Insurance com
pany and since the real work began,
they have met with success, interesting
many of the most prominent business
and professional men in the south
west.
The first series of stock has been
sold. At present the Two Republics
has under contract about Is agents and
by the first of the month the manag e-
ment expects to increase this force to
35.
One Of the features that appeals to
the people Of the southwest is that
when they take insurance in a local
company, the money will be kept at
home instead Of being sent east. This
money will be invested in property and
loans on FL Paso and southwestern
property. The trustees of the new com
pany are S. T. Turner, A. Krakauer and
W. r. Martin.

The Value Of Advertising.

II have done business for thirty
years without advertising; why
should / start now?" asks many
business man. In the opinion OF
c. R. Lippman, advertising manager
of the Genuine Badger State COM
pany, this is a very natural ques-
tion for the founder or manager who
has built up a profitable business
without advertising.
But, says Mr. Lippman, time and
methods are changing and the sue
cessful business man is changing
his tactics accordingly. There was
time when few commercial travellers
used the railroads. Nowadays who
would not use it?
There was a time when the tele-
graph and telephone were consid-
cred toys, and used only by the
shrewdest business men. Advertis-
ing is an evolution like these in
ventions. Like them it increases
speed, ease and economy of comuni-
cation.
1t utilizes the ever growing read
ing habit of the public. Fifty years
ago there were only 1000 newspa-
pers and periodicals in this country.
Today there are $4,000. Today peo-
pie read more and more people read.
The printed word rules the land
And how much we owe the printed
page of our First Reader" of our
spelling days to this mornings news
paper! What we learn from perso-
nal observation and conversation is
only drop compared with the ocean
of inform alton obtained by reading.
The fundamental effect of the
graphic" page on the public mind
is well illustrated by the name of
this continent. II was not named
after its discoverer; but-without
official decree-after Amerigo YES
pucci, the man who first showed
what it looked like in black and
white.
The reading habit is so deeply
rooted that we readily place conf
dence in the printed page. if it is
at all plausible. We say this coun-
try contains some 100000 people
We never counted them. We read ii.
We say this years corn crop is worth
Sl.4OO. 900. We never figure it
up. We read it.
To utilize this hunger for reading
through the channels of advertising
is as natural as utilizing the CON
course of habit of the public by 10
eating along the most frequented
horoughfares.-Fo Fourth Estate.
