THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY HORNING, : DECEMBER 18. 1310. ,a FACTIOUS : jiii mm m icrmans Preparing Way With Stock Bought in England to Go into. Courts for Settle ment. V - ' ; Which of the warring factions, pf stockholders in the Portland Hotel com- j any has a control of the capital stock; . of the famous hostelry, la the question " of the-hour '.In Portland. In clubs, cafes, . hotel offices, in fact, everywhere that mvn are accustomed to met some one will ask whether the Day-Joseph combi natloa Is still supreme in the manage ment of the property or s whether the , Normans have succeeded In making a combination that will oust their adver saries, i-: '.'.'''. "?'i; ;y Not In ' many a day has Portland known such a bitter fight to be waged for possession of a corporation as Is now going on for control of one of Its leading hotels. Norman Brothers, the Spokane hotel men, who bought the Ftock of the hotel last February ? and l iter let the Pay Brothers In on the deal, are combing the world over In order to find some way to overthrow the Day-Joseph i management and re tain possession ? of the property. -.';;.. Quarrel Soon Atom. Soon after the hotel was taken over by the Normans and Days a quarrel arose Over a division of the stock of the company, an . agreement having been made to divide the stock equally between them. The upshot of the controversy was that the Days pooled their holdings with George Joseph, who as trustee held three shares which gave the combina tion a majority of the outstanding stock. The Normans were put out and the Day-Joseph coallticn took charge. Having possession of , the old books 'of the hotel company the Normans found out that several small blocks of stock which , were subscribed . for when the company was formed 22 years ago had never been paid for In full and had never been delivered to the original subscribers. ; They set to work digging op the faots and have succeeded. It is aid,. in buying the rights of several of. these subscribers. They even went so far as to send Attorney H. M, Cake to London to buy out a stock subscrib er, and It is reported that Mr. Cake was successful In his mission. ' Win Teadet Unpaid Balance, The next move on the part of the Normans, it is said, will be to make a tender of the unpaid balance due on .the stock, together with interest to the sec retary of the hotel company, which of fer to pay will be followed by , a de mand that the stock be issued to them. This demand will In all probability be ignored by the faction now In control of the company. The courts will then be appealed to, say; the legal representa tives, and the whole question will then be fought out. - - - - , The Day-Joseph faction laugh at the whole proceeding and are serenely con fident that' they''' are thoroughly in trenched in possession of the property. "All of these old unpaid subscriptions to stock' in the hotel company were cancelled years agd," said a membor of the Day-Joseph faction. "We have an absolute majority of all the shares In the company that were paid for. Those shares that were not paid for were never issued and were : legally cancelled. The . books of the company make it plain that this action . was taken." ' ' MEXICAN TROOPS " SUFFER BIG LOSS ON BATTLEFIELD (Continued from Page One.) Navarro's forces marching from Chihua hua. - .

This is shown by the . attempt being made here to secure an American en gineer to haul troops from Chihuahua to Pedernales and La Junta. When the insurrectos took that section the owners of the Mexico Northwestern road made an agreement not to haul troops If the insurrectos would not molest the trains. The Mexican ' officials tentatively agreed to this, ' but on Friday troops were taken; south from here over; an other branch of. the Northwestern to the1 Mormon colonies and today Fran cisco PortlUo, mayor , of Jaurev' ad vertised for an American engineer , to haul troop trains from Chihuahua to redernales 'and ' other stations In the disturbed region. :.''
