VOL. VIII THE DALLES, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 1 1895. NO 154 THE STANFORD CASE Demurrer . S nstained by Judge Ross. fJILLIONS ARB INVOLVED This Declsten Leirel the Ornt Univer sity Unhampered Spark From the Wires. San Fbancisco, Jane 30. United States Circuit Judge Ross today rend ered bis decision on the demurrer of Mrs. Jane L. Stanford against the suit of the government to recover $15,000,000 from the estate of her last husband, Senator Stanford. The demurrer sus tained. Judge Boss allowed the govern ment to amend its former complaint and reargue its ase, if it so desired. It was intimated, however, the law, as con structed by Judge Ross, not favoring the case of the United States. The sustaining Of the demurrer was a surpise, attorneys generally expecting a contrary decision. The court began by reading and explaining the acts and Statute?, both state and federal, which had any bearing on the construction of the Central Pabific railroad and its branches. All railroads west of the Missouri river were, be said, constructed under the same acts, so if one road were liable to the government, all them were. In nearly all of the corporations Lei and Stanfod was a stockholder. Together with C. P. Huntington and other incor porators, he owned 130,880 shares of the stock. The government, according to its contract, issued bonds to aid in the con struction of this road. Though the road was built under that contract, it was in corporated under the laws of the state. Therefore, it became in a way amenable to the laws of California. The laws of California, providing that stockholders of inonrnnrfttinns are individual! v rn. Sponsible for debts contracted by their '.companies, he held did not affect . Mr. Stanford, as the government " claimed, for the reason that the stockholder lia bility acts were passed after the govern ment had made its contract with the Central Pacific company. If those laws had been passed before the government bonded the Central Pacific, however, it would have made no difference, for the government had no intention of making the stockholders personally responsible for the debts contracted by the com pany.

The following advertisement has been given a prominent position in the daily papers of Washington, D. C, and has been printed in the Chicago Musical News and the American Hebrew News, of Portland. We desire to call the atten tion of. the public to it. The unfairness of the assertions it con tains needs no emphasizing, for they will appear at once to the sense of right inherent in every legitimate dealer in pianos all over the country : Next Tuesday will be a special bar gain day on pianos at our store. We have found some grand bargains in new Upright Pianos (not the celebrated Kim ball pianos), and propose to give the public a chance to secure new pianos next Tuesday at manufacturers' whole sale prices. The prices Tuesday next for these new elegant Upright pianos will be only $149 and $159 each. Part time given if de sired. These pianos will be on exhibit at our store all day Monday, but no sales will be made from this lot until Tuesday, and will continue that day only. W. W. Kimball, Co., Metzerott Building, Cor. 12th and F. Sts. The. Kimball . Company may regard such'methods as fair and honorable, but they are open to the severest criticism in attempting to destroy the piano trade in Washington after many years of honor able work to promote it. The unfairness of the card lies in the assertion that the pianos which are to be sold at sacrificial prices are not made by tlffe Kimball company. Therein is the poison. This whole scheme ii perpetrated to give the Kimball pianos a position to which their merits do not entitle them. Although the Kimball advertisement de clares these are not Kimball pianos which are to be slaughtered it does not enhancethe value of their own instru ments. Those who are familiar with the Kim ball pianos know perfectly well that the makers can afford to sell them at just such ruinoni prices as are quoted for other instruments in their possession at Washington. What is there in the Kimball piano to justify this step? Nothing. The Kimball company make one of the cheapest pianos in the United States. And after the Kimball piano is made ready for the market it is not then worth a place above a low rank. Wlien you come to think of it, can you name any genuine, Jirstclass house that is selling the Kimball pianos f The Kimball managers may consider they have made a brilliant stroke, but they are merely using gigantic power to foist a cheap make on 'he market. The question is also one of a broader conception than mere local purview. Such advertisements as these cut at the root of the piano industry for they mis lead private buyers. Wehall not let this subject stop here. It is fraught with grave danger to the entire trade, and, although the Kimball company is composed of schrewd schem ers, they may find they have far over stepped the b6unds of legitimate busi ness dealing.
