NEW YORK April a.-Dr Arthur War.
rem Waite yesterday abandoned every hope
he may have had Of escaping the electric
chair for the murder of John E. Peck, his
millionaire father.in.law.
In the presence Of his attorney and Dr.

that Waite shall not be arraigned today.
The accused dentist will probably plead
tomorrow or Wednesday,
But his attorney, Walter r. deuel.
brought out of the room the words of his
demoralzed client and repeated them 20

Deuel., Waite said:

4 Hint to Small Invc.tors.

The indifference of American stock
holders to their own interests is as
toniShinE. In other countries tho
stakeholder Of Il corporation attends
the annual meeting. asks questions and
learns all about his property. have
attended hundreds Of stockholders
meetings in and about New York, and
have seldom found more than half /;
dozen stockholders, outside Of the Of
ficcrs, present.
The result Of this Indifference on
tho part OF those who really own the
corporations is that control of the lat
ter too often is left to selfish indi-
VidualS whose stock ownership is
small. but who keep themselves in
power by obtaining voting proxies.
stockholders should know that there
is no reason why they Shout give
their voting proxy to any one. If n

dcnds arc regularly paid, thus en-
