Five Alillio is lor a Detail.
In the June installment of "Frenzied
Finance," in Everybody's Magazine,
Thomas W. Lawson tella the story, im
patiently awaited by the public, of the
first great crime of Amalgamated.
"An iron-bound contract held the
Amalgamated Company and the Na
tional City Bank over the signatures of
a Rogers, a Rockefeller, and a Stillman
to allow the public to subscribe for
$75,000,000 of stock," says Mr. Law
son, "and the terms were that every
subscription must be in the bank at
noon, May 4th, and that each subscrip
tion must be accompanied by a certified
check of $5 for every share nominated.
As we had agreed that the public
should be sold but five millions of stock,
that meant that we proposed to retain
seventy millions of it ourselves, but to
obtain this allotment legally, we must
comnlv with the conditions of the ad-
' vertisement exactly as outsiders had
So it was necessary that we have a bid
in before noon on Thursday for our
-seventy millions, accompanied by a
check for $3,600,000, which would se
cure us our quota provided the public
8'jbscription was no more than five mil
lions. If the public subscription ran
over five millions, then the bank mu3t
throw out all additional subscriptions
over that amount, for the advertised
contract specifically declared that all
accepted subscriptions would be allotted
pro rata. By my suppression of the
usual condition that the Bank reserve
the right to reject any part of any sub
scription, it was absolutely precluded
from the common method of dealing
with such an emergency. There was a
way out without practising fraud. If
at noon on Thursday the public had
subscribed ten or fifteen millions, then
the insidersjnust put in bids of $140,
Fires in Eugene continue to be an
nounced by the antiquated general bell
alarm. But it has a state university
with $50,000 a year with it, and what's
the odds.
The size of a city is often judged by
the amount of gossip in it. If this is a
good criterion it hardly speaks for Alb
any, for there is decidedly too much
gossip here. People know too much
about their neighbor s business.
If the people of Portland get a chance
under the referendum to vote on the
saloons at the Lewis and Clark gate
they will knock them out with a rush
and with a majority to spare. This is
something that strikes their pride.
But really isn't their pride of very nar
row gauge?
Mayor Williams and Dr. Harry Lane
are telling each other not to throw
stones. There is a good deal more than
throwing stones in the truths being
told about Mayor Williams. But the
stone throwing accusation works on
some people who have a horror of such
business. '
Frissel, who won the meet for the
U. of O. at Eugene last Saturday, is
tho man imported from the University
of Nevada. It is claimed that he has
not been in the college sufficient length
of time to lawfully permit him to enter
a contest. It made a good deal of dif
ference Saturday, but it will not make
so much when the O. A. C. team is
faced, for that college has men who
can beat him. There is a principle,
though, which should be observed, and,
it is entirely right for colleges to de
mand the observance of rules requiring
the entrance of only students of the
roper standing.
A HORR1BL CRIME
By an Insane Los Angeles man.
San Raeael, May 24. Becoming
suddenly insane this morning over bus
iness worries, J. C. Stephens, a rancher
near Kenlifield, shot and killed his wife
and three chiluren and fatally wounded
two other children, then killed himself.
His wife and children were in bed. He
placed the gun to his wife's head 'and
killed her, then shot one after another,
his five children.
