Financier Is CHARGED
With False Statements
In Stockholders Suits
Boston Group Demands
Fund Accounting by
Frederick H. Prince
By the Associated Press.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., Aug. al
Four suits, involving sums which
may run into millions of dollars,
were filed in United States Dis
trict Court today against Fred
erick H. Prince, Boston and New
port flnancier, and against two
holding companies in which he
is the principal stockholder.
Complaints in the four suits,
brought by minority stockholders,
told detailed story of what they
said were Mr.. Princes financial op-
erations dating back to 1911. He
was accused of publication of false
and misleading statements in re-
ports to stockholders, and balance
sheets and incorrect information
given out to financial publications"
In 1911, the petition stated Mr..
Prince become a controlling figure
in the Chicago Junction Railways
and Union Stockyards Co., holding
company incorporated in New Jersey
and commonly known as the Jersey
Co. While president and director of
this company, it was charged, Mr..
Prince was instrumental in organiz-
ing the Chicago Stockyards Co.,
| popularity known as the Maine Corp
Say Trust Deal Was Urged.
The petition said that Prince ad-
vised stockholders of the Jersey Co.
to enter into trust agreement un-
der which they could have their
choice of receiving from the Maine
Corp. an annual payment of 50 per
share of their Jersey Co. stock or
could exchange their certificates of
common stock in the Jersey Co. for
Maine Corp. bonds.
1t was alleged that Mr.. Prince did
not reveal to the Jersey Co. stock
holders that he was one of the or
ganizers of the Maine Corp.
"One of the purposes of the plan" :"
the complaint said was to enable
the defendant and J. Ogden Armour
to obtain much greater part of the
earnings of the Jersey Co. and its
subsidiaries than they could obtain
from a continuation of the then
existing situation"
THE defendant never informed
any stockholders of many important
facts which were well-known to him
and which indicated that the income
of the Jersey Co. would probably be
very large after 1911"
Accounting Demanded.
Plaintiffs demanded an account
Ing to ascertain the amounts of
money and the value of property
which were improperly transferred
oy the Jersey Co. and its subsidiaries
on account Of the transactions men
toned" and that Mr.. Prince pay to
the Jersey Co. such damages as il
has sustained and pay over to it
"al the gains, profits and advan-
tages derived by the defendant on
account of such transactions.
The plaintiffs also demanded that
Mr.. Prince be ordered to repay
to the Jersey Co. all of the compen-
sation received from it as president
director or otherwise since Janu.
ary l, 1911, ''or such part of such
compensation as was excessive"
The suits were brought in the
names of Richard c. Paine, John L
Hall and William Dexter, as trustees
under the will of Ruth S. Thayer; by
Alexander Whiteside, Edward L
Bigelow and John E. Thayer, as
trustees under the will OF Nathaniel
: Thayer, and by E. Sohier WEIGH

November %, 1898.

THE Canadian army learned
L the lesson because a number
Of its men broke down with en-
physema under conditions or
hard military drill, and in most
such cases il was found that
there had been a history OF
asthma behind 1t.
Therefore, the medical boards
are inquiring very carefully into
the history of selectees for at
lacks of hives, asthma. etc.
More careful examination OF
the upper respiratory apparatus,
with a view to detecting allergic
possibilities, are now being
made.
Sinus trouble, or polyps. are
presumptive evidence Of the al
lergic state.
Francis found nasal abnor-
malities in IA per cent Of 442
cases of asthma.
THE condition of the spine and

also an indication of the allergic
state.
Those who have had asthma
in childhood nearly always have
a certain amount of round shoul-
ders and rounding of the back,
and the orthopedic surgeons are
asked to pay especial attention
TO this.
The history is most carefully
inquired into for asthma, hives.
eczema and sinusitis.
All this must be evaluated.
Not every candidate with the
allergic state is rejected.
Most of them can be given

The Brighter Side

I HAVE long thought that the
l. voting age should be lowered
to Is years. Male and female. In
my opinion il would give our
youth a greater incentive for
earlier interest in the affairs of
the nation and greater opportu-
nifty for expression of the youth
full thoughts and ideals upon
which the future of the nation
depends.
My idea Is not based upon the
usual argument that If young
men of 10 are old enough to
fight for their country, they are
old enough to have the voice in
its management that the vote
represents, or that if women of
Is are old enough to marry and
to bear children, possibly to fight
in wars to come, they are old
enough to have that same voice,
though this argument is some
thing to think about.
/ say. and have been saying
for quite a spell, that under our
advanced educational system,
under our present widespread
sophistication of youth due TO
the movies, the radio and the
printed matter of the day, the
average young man and woman
of Is is more fully developed
mentally than the average 30
year-old man and woman of so
years ago or the 50-year-old
man and woman of the time
when n was agreed upon as the
age of maturity and conse-
quently the voting age.

A JURY OF all women in New
"A Jersey recently convicted a
man on the charge of killing his
wife.
The record Of women on the
jury seems TO reveal they are
little more hard to fool than
the male juries.
The ladies are not easily
swayed by the flowery language
OF male lawyers.
Perhaps il is because they are
used to that kind of a line of
talk from men in general.
As matter OF fact most
lawyers are puzzled as TO what
is the best way to handle an
all-feminine jury.
