Klopp Makes New
Move to Regain the
Control of Plant

Aaron T. Klopp. founder and president
OF the Klopp- Bartlett printing company,
who, in recent Injunction proceedings in
district court, alleged that Josiah d..
Redfield and Harvey r. Milliken. mem
bers Of the board of directors. had con-
spired to prevent him from having a
voice in the management. has begun a
new legal move TO regain his lost POSI-
tlon. In a petition he relates to the dis
trict court that he was induced to con-
sent to changing the company's article
Of Incorporation by erroneous legal ad-
vice and asks that the old articles be re-
instated.
Mr. Klopp alleges that. although no
holder of preferred stock had ever
claimed the right to participate In the
MANAGEMENT OF the company. In August
OF this year Redfield informed him that
he would ciaim such right and that an
opinion written. by Jefferis & Tunison.
regular attorneys for the firm. said that
the holders Of preferred stock had this
power. Relying on this statement. Rlopp
asserts. he consented to changes in the
articles of Incorporation, which have
caused him to lose his salary and all
control of the business. He asserts that
Milliken knew that in fact the holders
OF common stock alone were entitled to
control the business and the legal opinion
was erroneous.
The plaintiff asks that the court set
aside the new articles Of incorporation
and that the company be required to ia
s1e common and preferred stock to the
former holders under the old articles. II
this is done by the court, Mr.. Klopp will
regain control OF the business, since he
held majority of the common stock.

Although merchants who handle the

thusiasm as In former years. Local
dealers say that they expect the sales
in Omaha TO equal, II not exceed those
OF past seasons. and merchants out In

Choral SOCIETY
PLEASES IN
CONCERT

IIonClHlu's latest musical orcani IA
iion. the Honolulu Choral Society, is
distinctly an acquisition TO musical
achievement here. Such was the YER
diet Of critics and near-critics alike
who heard the opening concert al
Bishop Hall, Punahou, last Friday
night.
The large and well-balanced cho-
rus, naturally, is the chief point of
interest as the new society Is pri-
marily an organization Of vocalists
As such, it promises 10 take high
rank here and the first concert re-
yealed no small ability.
Director Reginald II. Carter has a
large body of good voices TO work
with an an additional advantage is
the presence OF several singers who
have had considerable thorough tech
nical training The tenor section
struck the critics on Friday night as
lacking in strength. perhaps because
of lack of numbers The lower male
voices are strong and the sopranos
showed up well Director Carter con-
fined his numbers very largely TO en-
scmbles in which the accent was
strongly on concerted harmony and
the section singing was infrequent.
and the chorus gives evidence of be-
ing able to essay more ambitious
c5mpositions with a little more work.
I he soloists on Saturday night
were all familiar to Honolulans,
though Mrs. Robbins Il. Anderson.
