SUPREME COURT 0. KS
CASE AGAINST B|GEL0W
Promoter Directed to Account
and Pay Copper Company
$2,10O,O0O.

The Supreme Court Of the United
States today affirmed the Massachusetts
judgment by which Albert s. Bigelow OF
Boston was directed to account and pay the
Old Dominion Copper Mining and Smelt-
ing Company $2,100,00O as secret pro-
moter's profits. The suits growing out
Of the transaction probably have at
tracted more attention than any other
strictly corporation cases in the last
decade
It was charged that Bigelow and Leon
ard Lewisohn Of New York reaped enor-
nous secret profits by selling property to
the company when they held the stock
certificates in the company. Suit against
Lewisohn's estate in New York resulted
in defeat for the company. that decision
being affirmed by the Supreme Court Of
the United States on the ground that
there could have been no fraud on the
company. as the then existing stocl1hold-
ers knew all about the transaction at the
time it took place.
Massachusetts, held a corporation
could rescind its purchase and make
the promoters account for profits when
Bigelow was sued in that state.
Judgment Was Attacked.
The Massachusetts, judgment was at
tackled on the ground that full faith
and credit" had not been given to the
New York judgment. For Bigelow 1t
was argued by former Senator John c..
Spooner that New York law was to
govern the effect in Massachusetts, Of
this judgment. and under New York
law the company was estopped by its
Lewisohn judgment from suing Bige-
low.
On the other hand Louis d. Brandeis
and Edward F. McClennen argued that
the effect Of the New York judgment was
to be determined by Massachusetts law
in g. Massachusetts, suit, and under
Massachusetts, law the company was not
estopped by an unsuccessful suit against
one wrongdoer from suing joint wrong
doer.
Justice Lurton for the court said New
York law was not settled as it had been
argued. Anyway. the court said, the
Massachusetts, view was correct.

tomorrow. John D. Archbold did not put
in an appearance The suit is brought
to compel the tellers at the recent cleo
ton Of officers of the Waters-Pierce Com
pany to count the votes deposited by the

Company of New Jersey, testified today
that the directors of the Standard Oil
Company previous to the dissolution met
daily. but that no minutes were kept.
Mr.. White said that the Standard Oil
Company directors held daily meetings,
which were secret.
rs there in the minutes of the directors
or stockholders meetings, or anywhere
else in the records of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, anything to
show that any action whatever was taken
to carry out the dissolution decree of the
Federal Supreme Court?" asked Mr.. In
termyer.
Nowhere that I know off, Mr.. White
said
HAS there been any official corporate
action to carry out the decree?'
Il don't think so, probably not-ex-
cept. that the stockholders were notified
what stocks they would receive in the
distribution"
Witness Prepared Proxies.
The witness said he had prepared
proxies for stockholders at the annual
meeting Of the Waters-Pierce Company
in February, 1912, at the instance of
Vice President Moffett of the Standard
Company. Mr.. White said he had talked
to other officials of the Standard, in
Guiding Mr.. Archbold. about the proxies
Mr.. MOffett had asked him to solicit
proxies from the Waters-Pierce share
holders in the name of Walter F. Tay-
Tor and Michael Van Buren,. The names
of the directors to be voted for were
inserted later, he said.

JAMES cLANcWs POLL rHEATEF
A Southern Boy of 81, Thrilling War
Story.

Joseph McGinty, the singer who be-
came a popular favorite during the
Poll Stock company regime, made his
temperance at the same house Satur-
day and scored a complete success.
His many friends were out in full force
and gave him rouslng reception. He
will be permanent at the popular thea
ter singing illustrated melodies in
conjunction with the flickerless photo
plays. A great programme is listed for
these two days, including pictures of
a diversified nature, a dramatic COM
edy, western and educational. The film
that finds favor with persons who have
desire to know what the happenings
are throughout the country will find
great delight in Pathe's Weekly. A
Southern Boy of 81 is of a thrilling ma
ture and should please. The story Of
this film follows:
Cyril Brants sympathies were with
the north and his father, a loyal south
erner, informed him that the parting
of the ways had come. Although his
mother wept, his father refused to take
his hand when he departed to join the
federal troops. His cup was filled when
his Dixie sweetheart coldly returned
his ring and then. overcome by emo
ton, burst into tears as the brave lad
drove away.
In an engagement upon the battle
field Cyril led an attack and pursued
a party of retreating cOnfederates who
quickly dispersed Then it was that
the youth came face to face with his
father as an enemy. The tie of blood
proved the stronger, and Cyril permit
ted Brant to return to his army.
Shortly afterward a skirmish took
place near Cyrirs home and an enc
mys bullet pierced his leg. Dragging
the disabled limb behind him, he
crawled to the cottage of an old slave,
Aunty Blossom, who helped him in and
bathed his wound.
When one faces death principles are
prone to waver in the balance Father
and sweetheart came to Cyril's bedside
with hearts overflowing. As the days
passed and the end Of hostilities was
declared, the young mans devotion to
the cause he thought was in the light
touched the brave southern hearts and
won for him a forgiving parent and
loyal bride.
