Do You Know Your Partners?
In the World of Business One Is Responsible for the
Acts-and the Debts-of His Corporate
Associates
By ELWOOD LLOYD

Are you your own boss? Not I'M
less you are a hobo. says Tom
Dreier, and quotes one of our for
mer captains of industry in proof
of his dogmatic statements. Here
is what Tom has to say about it:
MANY q man and n...ny wo-
man wants TO be recognized as his
or her own boss. Old z. ID. Armour
did not believe there was any such
thing. There amt any such thing
as being your own boss, unless you
are tramp he said once. But
if a man wants to be foolish, give
him his head. There is no easier
way to cure foolishness than to
give q man leave TO be foolish. A
man cannot do what he pleases,
anyway; and the higher he climbs
the harder it is TO do anything he
plcases, because the palmer people
can see him.
"A casual laborer may wander
from one place TO another, and dis
appear without many people caring
very much. But no one who holds
a position of importance can escape
from life so easily. The lives of too
many other people are connected
closely with his. The higher up you
go the more lives you affect, and
the more you are called upon to boss
other people the less you are your
own boss"
Many of us have the idea that
as soon as we commence setting
aside a few dollars of our surplus
in investments, we are on the road
to becoming our own bosses. In
| other words we have the mistaken
idea that financial independence
the independence which is to come
from the money earned by our in
vestments-will place lis in a posi-
ton where we are responsible to
no one for our actions.
This is a mistake which has caused
quite few dreams of financial indie
pendence to vanish in the wings of the
wind. We assume very definite obliga.
tions and responsibilities when we
purchase an interest in q corporation
and that is the thing We do when
we invest in its securities.
None of us would display the poor
Judgment of entering into partnership
with men we didn't know, because we
all know that one member of a part
ncrship is responsible for the acts of
the other partners. We certainly
wouldn't go into business with a man
who has nothing but promises or
glowing descriptions Of his business
prowess to offer.
We would want to know-and
rightly-that the man with whom we
were to join forces was honest, had
good credit, a good reputation. and
enough experience to assure of eff
GENTLY managing the business into
which we were going.
We would want to know these
things, because we know that we
would be called upon to make good
any bills he incurred, or make up for
losses in the business.
And so it is when we purchase stock
in q corporation. We become part
ners. and as such are jointly liable
for the debts of the corporation. So
the important thing is the record and
capability of the men who are going
TO handle the operation of the COM
pany.

Rebel Moroccan
Leader Defers Attack
On French StrOnghOlds

Fee, Morocco, June S-(AP)-Abd-
el-Krim, the rebel leader continues
the concentration of his forces before
the Bibane and Taonat sectors with
view to renewed activities against
the two great French strongholds
north of the Ouergha river.
The French general staff under
instructions from Paris is committed
to strictly defensive warfare against
the Moors, and the French are dig
ging themselves in.
The artillery activities of the
Moors on the Taonat sectors have
been more intense during the past
two days than previously. French
cavalry has entered the action on
this sector in an attempt to scatter
or capture Riffian scouting parties.
Marshal Lyautey, the French COM
mander-in- chief, has informed Paris
that Abd-el- Krim lately has received
several cannon of II calibre and has
asked that a sharper lookout be kept
at Adjir, a port in Alhucemas, where
the rebel forces are reported to be
active.

Police Exhaust All Clues in
Murder of Oscar B. Turner,
Instructor at State Universe
ty-Students Quizzed Fail to
Throw Light on Crime or
Motive - One Youth Under
Suspicion

Baton Rouge, Ba., June S.-(AP).
With every clue apparently ex-
hausted. the authorities investigat-
ing the killing with an axe here yes
terday of Oscar B. Turner, instructor
at Louisiana State University, were
today considering the possibility that
the crime may remain unsolved.
The, coroner's inquest, in session
most of the day, was fruitless. Eight
students were summoned but failed
to disclose any new facts.
Robbery. a possible case of jealousy,
an old enemy and a student either in
famed with hatred against the instruc-
tor or caught rifling desk from which
examination papers were missing. were
the only motives police had to go on,
and all led to nothing.
One student is under suspicion, Off
GERS said tonight, but beyond that they
refuse to talk. 1t is known, however,
that members of the student body
have openly discussed the suspicion
that is directed against this man.
The killing was committed in a
building rich with the legend of the
old university. The agronomy build
ing, in which Mr.. Turner was found
dying, was built in 1885 as a govern
ment arsenal and bears the popular
reputation of being haunted"

Believe Amundsen
Tramping Icefelds
To Cane Columbia !

Oslo, June 8-(AP)-Meterol
and representatives of airplane works
who were in Spitzbergen in connec-
ton with the Amundsen Polar ven
ture, returned to Bergen today. They
do not believe the Amundsen planes
were wrecked in landing. They are
confident Amundsen and Ellsworth
made no attempt to fly back to
Spitzbergen, but are tramping over
the Polar ice fields to Cape Column
bia.
The returned members of the ex-
peditiion are the meterologists DR..
Bjorknes and Ernest Calwag agen;
Heinrich Schulte-F'rohlinde, techni-
cal director of the Dornier airplane
plant at Pisa, and Adolf Sinzmayer.
of the same plant. They refused to
say anything regarding the expedi-
ton, being bound to silence by their
contract, but they gave the impress
sion that the Amundsen airplanes
could not have been smashed in
landing for the reason that they
could fly at an altitude of 80 feet
seeking suitable landing, and then
descend slowly even on unfavorable
ground.

sion and former convict, for ques-
tioning in connection with the mur-
der of Mrs. Mae Price, wardrobe

peared without leaving the key to

vestigation came today when police

Indicted for Teaching
Evolution, Defense Is
"Due Process of Law"

New York, June S.-(AP)-The
defense of John T. Scopes, Tennes-
see high school teacher, under in
dictment charged with violating a
law of that state in having taught
evolution, will be based on the due
process of law clause of the federal
constitution, John Randolph Neal, of
Knoxville, Tenn. chief counsel for
Scopes, announced today after con-
sultation today with New York law
yers.
.The great point in this case is
the constitutional question: Mr..
Neal said. I'VE believe that the state
has exceeded it's police power under
both the federal and state constttu-
tions. The pronouncement by state
legislature that the teaching of evo-
luton in schools is in conflict with
the Bible is not within their pro-
vince. The question of whether a
legislature can regulate the curri-
culum of a school is absolutely
novel;"
He predicted that the theory of
evolution would be defined in the
argument before the court but
doubted that the truth or falsity OF
the doctrine would arise.
Clarence Darrow of Chicago and
Dudley Field Malone of New York,
who have offered to assist in the de-
fense, will confer with Scopes and
his attorney tomorrow.

Bangor Merchants

Bangor, Me-, June S-LelsureIy
thieves, covetous of the wherewithal
to bedeck themselves in the accoutre-
ments of fashion, broke into local
clothing store sometime between Sat-
urday night and Monday morning
and got away with goods valued at
$500. They removed six outfits, to-
gether with belts. cuff links, jewelry,
unionsuits and the rest of the acces-
sories necessary to make up an ex-
cellent wardrobe.
The hot weather of the past few
days was also taken into considera-
ton as the vests were left behind In
the theft of all six suits. The thieves
are not expected to return for them
the police say, despite the change in
the temperature.

Belgian Commission
Coming in July to
Talk Debt Funding

Washington, June 8-(AP)-Mov-
ing with unexpected speed the Bel
gian government today informed the
state department that it would send
a commission here the latter part OF
July to negotiate funding settle
ment of it's debt to the United States.
The commission will be headed by
former Premier Theunis and will in
clude the governor Of the Bank OF
Belgium and Baron De Cartier. the
ambassador to Washington. On the
basis of the official advices, the be-
lief prevailed here that funding ar
rangement could be reached in time
for presentation to the next con-
gress for ratification.
Aside from the notification from
Brussels the most important devel-
opment in the foreign debt situation
here today was the receipt of official
cables indicating that Italy may not
delay the opening of debt negotia-
tions as long as was indicated in the
speech of Finance Minister De Ste
FAM in Rome last week. The inten-
ton of the Italian government is to
give consideration to a funding set
tlement. probably before the summer
is over. but it's plans must be held in
allegiance pending advancing of the
budget and accomplishment of cur
rency stabilization.

Farmers Pay the
Biggest Freight
Bills in New England

Amherst, Mass. June S-(AP)-
Farmers are the largest receivers
and handlers of freight in New Eng
land; Howard Selby, treasurer of the
Eastern States Farmers Exchange,
told the graduating class of the
course in practical agriculture of the
Massachusetts Agricultural college
here today.
Discussing the work Of the ex-
change, Mr.. Selby explained why 1t
had shifted from it's original pur-
pose of cooperative selling to one of
cooperative purchasing. New Eng
land farming production is so diver
sifified and comes in such small lots.
he said that no advantage is to be
gained by cooperative marketing un-
til greater standardization has been
gained.
The New England farmer must
concentrate on quality goods rather
than attempt the big scale produc-
tion of the west, he asserted.

State Fair Grounds, Mimi, June s.
(AP)-Secretary of State Kellogg, in
a speech after President Coolidge
had concluded an address, warned
against tampering with the founda-
tion principles upon which, through
the constitution, representative. de-.
mocracy is built"
The secretary avowed that the
principles of the constitution We're
being assaulted" by "propagandists
who advocated the overthrow of the
government and the substitution Of
class tyranny" and by "a consider
able body of our citizens who in the
name of liberty and reforms are i'm
patient of the constitutional restric-
tions and by insidious approaches
and attacks would destroy these
guarantees of personal liberty.
I'm. do not think there is much
danger that the American people will
deliberately by amendments to the
constitution, destroy the fundamental
principles on which our government
is founded, or place it within the
power of any legislative body to do
so," he said.
II am not an alarmist. I have
confidence in the stability, the char
acter and patriotism of the American
people, but the danger to our insti-
tutions by this constant propaganda
against the government Is not imag-
mary. / doubt if you are aware of
the amount of destructive, revolu-
tionary propaganda which is being
secretely distributed in this country
by foreign influence.
'Tf these people are not satisfied
with our government and our insti-
tutions let them go where they can
find goternment which does satis-
,fy them. l say to you and to All
. American citizens loving liberty and
Justice, Hold fast to the teachings
Of your fathers These principles OF
our constitution are the great foun-
dations stones on which our fabric

Would Bar LlOyds
From Writing Policies
In New York State

New York, June 8.-(AP)-James A.
Beha, state superintendent of insur-
ance, revealed today that the state in
surance department is working on a
plan to exclude Lloyds. London, larg-
est insurance organization in the
world. from writing policies in New
York state.
Mr. Beha said that L1oyds has no
agents in this country, is not licensed
to do business here and has no assets
here which can be attached in the
event that a policy holder decides to
sue for a loss.
He said the fact that Lloyds does
not pay taxes like licensed companies
and that it has no overhead expenses
here makes their operation unfair
competition of the grossest kind" He
said that their taxes if they had a
license would amount to between ST.
100000 and s1,500,000 a year.
