stockholders OF the street car COM
panies can be thrown out of the
game Block says:
"Sec. 8 provides that any stock
holder who is against merger shall
mot be allowed to~bTing action in the
courts to stop merger. The bill COM
'mands that he must sell out his stock.
Sweeping power is given the courts
ito control. The language is that the
court shall have full power to do all
things and enter all such orders as
'tO it may seem equitable and just. "
e The Union Leader, official journal
of the street car mems union, will
have an editorial this week showing
how helpless any single stakeholder
will be to stop any raw deal he does
not like. The paper will reprint as
significant quotation printed in the
Economist, Chicago's leading fnan-
-cial paper. 1t what w. w. Gurley,
head lawyer for the Chicago Surface
fines, said about Sec. 8 of the home
rule bill Gurley is pleased with it.
He said:
Adoption of this provision would
eput it beyond the power of a single
stakeholder or two or three stock
Holders to hold up any merger of the
Chicago rapid transit lines. 1t gives
TO a minority stockholder the alter
native of agreeing to the merger or
getting out with fair cash price for
his holdings. This provision is not
setting a precedent, as it is in effect
In some other states. No stakeholder
houId be allowed to speculate for his
personal advantage. A single stock
holder of the Chicago City Railways
attacked the validity of the 1907 trac-
tion ordinance. When the Illinois
Supreme court ruled against him he
then attempted to knock out the OPP
Grating agreement between the sur
face lines"

INJUNCTION HALTS POSSIBLE
SLIP OVER BY SCHOOL BOARD
The board of education rode
through regular meeting yesterday
with an Injunction plastered on it.
The action to prevent acceptance of
the State street school land apprais-
ais was successful and the trustees,
when the matter came up, voted to
pass the matter and instructed Coun-
sci Shannon to fight the Injunction.
The interests which pushed the in
junction suit were satisfied that a
possible attempt on the part of a
board clique to sneak through the ap-
praisals called 80 low as to be fraud
ulent" was halted.
The board received the Injunction
well, several members turning
toward the press table and remarking
in loud tones that 1--WE didn't intend
to pass it anyway"
The city councils attempt to inves-
tigate the board of education finances
met with rebuff when the board re-
fused to accept the letter of Aid.

Instead the board entered resolu-

ton was called a political trick. Buck
declared that the inquiry would pro-

which the board had turned toward
his sleuth.

DEATH OF CORA CARLSON

Miss Cora Carlson, eldest daugh-
ter of G. j. Carlson of West Pierre,
passed away at the family home last
Thursday evening, following a ever
al months illness of tuberculosis.
Miss Carlson attended the city
schools about three years ago, max
ing many friends among her acquain-
t%ances, who we're grieved in her loss.
A little over a year ago, she was as
ISOLATED with Mrs. Latta here in the
millinery business, later going to
Omaha and then to Red Oak, Iowa,
from which place failing health COM
pelled her to return home.
Cora Carlson was born in Michigan
in 1898, coming to this city with heI
parents six years ago. She is sur.
vived by a father, two sisters and
one brother.
The funeral was held from the
home Saturday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Machamer of the Methodist
church. Interment was made al
Riverside cemetery.
