The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY.....FEBRUARY 21, 1895 A WORD ABOUT THE SUGAR FACTORY. We assure the quiet and unassuming and unostentatious gentleman who happens to be President of the Pacific Sugar Company that we have no "personal reasons for wishing his company to fail;" nor are we wholly ignorant of the "precise situation" now prevailing, as he puts it in the letter which he says our reference to him last week has made necessary. We want to see the factory go ahead and be built and be a good thing to the hundreds of farmers of this valley who are unable to find a market for their products of the soil. The man who would attribute legitimate criticism to "personal reasons for wishing his company to fail," uses the argument of a fool, and must consider himself fortunate indeed if he escape having the appellation applied to himself. But our reference to the large body of land owned by himself, which though presumably a part of the property of the corporation, he has with consummate forethought placed where in justice to the other stockholders it ought but does not bear its just proportion of the company's liability—that remains unanswered. The gentleman stands dumb in face of the accusation. It seems to us to be a perfectly demonstrable proposition that not a foot of the 449 acres now said to be the acreage deeded to the corporation, but remaining outside the tentacles of the trust deed, can ever be called upon to pay a cent of the company's liability; although inquiries at headquarters have met with the uniform assurance that this acreage is jointly liable with the rest. Of course, every stockholder in the company—every one of the hundreds of farmers whose lands are mortgaged to raise this $300,000—knows that he assumed, as a stockholder in the company, a liability of $125 per acre to liquidate this indebtedness. These shares are assessable under the law, and if money for operating expenses can be procured in no other way, they will indubitably be assessed, the Directors to the contrary and notwithstanding. If the company shall come out all right in the end; if by fair dealing on the part of the Directors and the exercise of the strictest economy in expenditure, the mortgage shall be liquidated, then and in that event the lands of the trust deed will be released, and the fact was urged as a stimulus to the farmers and others to come forward and deed in their land, and help swell the sum total of the acreage to the stipulated 3,000 acres, so that the bonds might be placed and the factory erected if possible during that year. Mr. E. F. Dyer, than whom a more honorable and conscientious gentleman does not exist, came here upon this representation and purchased and placed in the trust deed 300 acres of land, and the land remains there to this day. Did he know at the time that these 535 acres and upwards of Fowler and Capitain alleged to have been deeded in, had "strings to them," to employ a euphemism of the day? While he and the others of the corporation came forward and characterized their actions by a honesty of purpose all the way through, these two arch schemers, laughing in their sleeves at the gullibility of the public, held aloof their lands from the trust deed, permitting them to be used as a decoy to others to come in, and these lands are out of the trust deed and free from all liability to this day. The search of the record discloses apart from showing the fact that the lands of these two conspirators were apparently deeded in in time for the trust deed—although it seems they were "not available" for that purpose—a more shameful and more outrageous state of things—it shows that neither Fowler or Capitain have deeds on record to this land so ostentatiously deeded in by them! The record shows that previous to the 16th of December, 1893, Fowler and Capitain had a contract from The Stearns ranches for 535.17 acres of land. On that date Capitain deeded to Fowler an undivided one-half interest therein, and subsequently, on January 2 and February 10, 1894, Capitain deeds in 251.81 acres and Fowler 250 acres. If they have deeds to this land, why are they not recorded? and what are they doing with a contract on top of them for these 535 acres of land? If this land be that given in the contract, we are permitted to understand at once why it was "not available" for the trust deed—it could not be deeded legally, and could not be used for that purpose. If this be so, the present stock which they vote to elect themselves Directors, is a fraud upon its face, and the perpetrators of the infamy should be forced to step down and out, if not arrested for fraud. What shall we say of these two honorable gentlemen, one of whom calls the other a liar in open meeting? Ab, well! When thieves fall out honest men'come by their due. We must have a purification of this sugar factory enterprise. Either Fowler and Capitain must be forced to step down and out, or they must satisfactorily explain this factory will have no market for their products. Let us hope that this first factor will bring us another. Let this grand undertaking go forward successfully and immediate consummation, let us have honest men at the head! Place these facts before the stockholders in the corporation and call upon them to trace such steps as will purge the enterprise of dishonesty and fraud. Success to the superfactory, and success to the farmers who have made the enterprise a possibility. But on fusion to all scams and scalawags of high and low degree! At the meeting of stockholders in the borough company last week, on motion of Mr. WHaker, the stockholders present voted almost unanimously, there being but a sprinkling nooes against the proposition, to change name of the company from The Anaheim operative Beet Sugar Company to that of The Pacific Sugar Company. This was done response to the suggestion that a prejudice existed against beet sugar, and the further suggestion, on Mr. Dyer's part, as was stated in our report of the meeting, that all local action in the name was best eliminated. Think Mr. Dyer's point well taken, setting aside all local pride in the form name, we think the new name better do business with. Now comes the Prudent of the corporation, and in a letter our esteemed contemporary across the rooftops in most solemn and reverential accents tell us the name has not been changed. What a shifty individual this person is; sure! Do we properly understand him? Do he mean to say that the name of the corporation will not be changed, or that it has already been changed? At any rate, it seems to us that rather than giving his time quibbling over such a trifling, such insignificant matter, and "hastening to direct our error before the next issue of THE GAZETTE," he had better engage his talents in telling us how it is that of the 265 acres land owned by him in the beet company. 10 acres are in the trust deed, and 255 acres side? All the Los Angeles papers are putting type-setting machines, and the printers have nothing to do but peddle toy balloons. THE JOKE ON REDLANDS SAN BERNARDINO, February 19.—The zones of Redlands shared the beauties of this town with a crowd of Pomona people Saturday, under the impression that they were members of a big Iowa excursion, and 115 Pomonans saw Redlands gratis. Whole country is ringing with laughter; ex- every one of the hundreds of farmers whose lands are mortgaged to raise this $300,000—knows that he assumed, as a stockholder in the company, a liability of $125 per acre to liquidate this indebtedness. These shares are assessable under the law, and if money for operating expenses can be procured in no other way, they will indubitably be assessed, the Directors to the contrary and notwithstanding. If the company shall come out all right in the end; if by fair dealing on the part of the Directors and the exercise of the strictest economy in expenditure, the mortgage shall be liquidated, then and in that event the lands of the trust deed will be released, and all will go merry as a marriage bell. But suppose the creditors—the bond holders—should foreclose; suppose the factory should default its interest or fail to pay up its sinking fund—what then? The factory and grounds and all the lands in the trust deed would be sold at Sheriff's sale, and Mr. Fowler's 255 acres, and the 500 acres which Mr. Capitain was recently engaged in an earnest endeavor to purchase, as well as all the other lands going through the "deeding in" process, and standing to reap the benefits which the farmers have made possible by assuming the great burden of the enterprise, would every acre of it escape. The law could not touch them; they would perch atop the rock of safety, while the farmers would be swept down the torrent of financial ruin and disaster that flowed past them below. Suppose the sale of the factory and lands noticed an amount insufficient to meet this liability—what with the accrued interest and court charges and lawyer's fees—what then? Each individual stockholder, his house and lands sold from him, would still remain liable for his just proportion of the balance remaining due, and he would have to pay it, or have a deficiency judgment, bearing interest, hanging like the sword of Damocles above him. Stockholders are liable at any time for the total amount of their subscription; thus a stockholder with a hundred shares is liable for $12,500, and if after the factory and lands shall have been sold there remains a deficiency, suit may be brought against him to recover his portion of that amount. We do not undertake to say that all these dire results are bound to happen. We hope not. We are only quoting the stockholders a little faw on the subject that costs them nothing, and which we think they have in many cases not hitherto been made acquainted with. Is it right that the President, holding, as he tells us, 265 acres of land, and consequently that number of shares of stock, should be liable for only ten shares of this sum, which is the amount trust deeded, while the rest escapes soot free, to be sold by him at a greatly appreciated price the day work on the factory begins? This land was purchased at $35 per acre. The day the first brick is laid on the factory the land will go to $100 per acre. Is this the reason why the gentleman has not been able to find time to get his deeds in shape in season for the trust deed? Is this the reason why the land is out? Let the farmers, not one of whom could get a share of stock without first giving a deed absolute to every acre represented, answer for themselves. We are told these 255 acres are not in the trust deed because they were "not available" at the time of the making of that indenture. What shall we say of these two honorable gentlemen, one of whom calls the other a liar in open meeting? Ab, well! When thieves fall out honest men'come by their due. We must have a purification of this sugar factory enterprise. Either Fawler and Capitain must be forced to step down and out, or they must satisfactorily explain this shady business, and come up to the center like the other stockholders of the company. The factory would in all probability have been up and running a year ago had the beet and land company been permitted to come in, in December two years ago. The beet and land company got together and subscribed 1,200 acres of land for the purpose of building this sugar factory. They did not go into the enterprise ostensibly for one purpose, and really for quite another. They wanted to build a factory—not speculate in land. But what shall we say of these two honorable gentlemen? At the stockholders' meeting a week ago, after Capt. Pierce did diligently hunt up the leaders of the opposition who were known to be preparing themselves for the inauguration of a vigorous oakland upon these two Directors, and had succeeded in "quieting" them by promises of giving them back their deeds and freeing them from all liability in the corporation—after this had been done, Mr. Fawler arises in open meeting and in grandiloquent emotion proclaims himself very much hurt at what had been said of him, and adding, "I notice no opposition here!" Could the force of fraud in oratory any further go? What shall we say of these two honorable gentlemen? In his letter to the Independent about the beet and land company, Mr. Fowler says: Knowing well that any one who is at all conversant with corporations will understand that the control of our company was in the grasp of Anaheim Sugar Beet and Land Corporation (the Directors) in 1893 [18927] and could have been accomplished provided the land company had so desired. (The syntax is not very clear.) Ed.] The facts are these. At the time the land company made their subscription to the capital stock of our company, the subscription list stood with 400 shares actually subscribed, including the 1,200 shares by themselves. This virtually would have given the land company a majority in the Board of Directors to be elected, and they could have located the factory where they desired, or have fixed the price at which the bonds were to be sold. What! Do we believe our eyes? Refused permission to vote because they had a majority of the stock? Refused permission to vote because they could have placed the factory where they desired, and apart, if they so saw fit, from the lands purchased by Fowler and Capitain? Is this the way we understand it? Is this the practice of one "conversant with corporations"? If it be so, it is the practice of soundrels that ought not to be permitted to go unhun! And yet the President of the corporation gives this as a reason for excluding our citizens, in face of the fact that it has been a favorite topic of remark among the Directors that our people have shunned the enterprise and refused to help it along! If the representatives of the beet and land company had insisted upon their right to remain in the corporation, perhaps the company had been freed from all fraud and we able" for the trust deed—it could not be deeded legally, and could not be used for that purpose. If this be so, present stock which they vote to elect themselves Directors, is a fraud upon its face, and the perpetrators of the infamy should be forced to stop down and out, if not arrested for fraud. What shall we say of these two honorable gentlemen, one of whom calls the other a liar in open meeting? Ab, well! When thieves fall out honest men'come by their due.

TICKS FROM THE TELEGRAPH SACRAMENTO,Feb.13.-The reportoftheSenate sub-CommitteeonFinancewithreferencetonewpaperclaimsforpublishingtheconstitutionalamendments.was senttothelatethisafternoon.Aggregateclaims$109,$75320arecutto$48,$662. DENVER,Feb.19.-TheDenver&RidgeauthoritiescontradictthestatementrecentlymadeinadispatchfromFlorida We are told these 255 acres are not in the trust deed because they were "not available" at the time of the making of that instrument. Let us look at the record for a moment and see how this statement tallies with the facts. On the 28th and 30th of January, 1892, about the beginning of this "trust deeding" of land into the corporation—when our farmers were deeding in their five and ten and other small parcels of acreage, that the building of the factory the next season might be a possibility—Mr. Fowler begins by deeding 180 acres of land to his wife. For this land he has a good deed on record, and there can be no question as to the legality or doubt about the legitimacy of the transfer. On January 2 and February 10, 1894, Mr. Fowler deeds 250 acres to the beet company. While this was done in ample time to have it placed were it belonged, in the trust deed, the record shows no deed to Fowler for the property. Perhaps he has a deed to this land; but the record does not show it. Certainly he would not be guilty of the fraud of deeding in land to which he has no title. But at any rate it was deeded in time for the trust deed. We will go along and see what further transfers the record discloses. On December 16 and 26, 1893, antedating this transaction by a month or six weeks, Capitain deeds Fowler his undivided one-half interest in a contract from the Stearns ranchers company to 535.17 acres of land at the edge of the site of the proposed factory. On January 2 and February 10, 1894, corresponding to the dates of Fowler's transfer noted above, Capitain deeds in 251.81 acres of land to the beet company. The searcher of records says it looks like this land is the same as that noted in the contract wherein Capitain deeds his undivided half interest to Fowler. At any rate, the record shows no deed to Capitain for this land. The execution of these two deeds will doubtless be recalled. They were heralded abroad with no little ostentation as showing the faith of those two gentlemen in the enterprise, and purchased by Fowler and Capitain? Is this the way we understand it? Is this the practice of one "conversant with corporations?" If it be so, it is the practice of soundrels that ought not to be permitted to go unhung! And yet the President of the corporation gives this as a reason for excluding our citizens, in face of the fact that it has been a favorite topic of remark among the Directors that our people have shunned the enterprise and refused to help it along! If the representatives of the beet and land company had insisted upon their right to remain in the corporation, perhaps the company had been freed from all fraud and we had a sugar factory before new. But why carry on this discussion longer? We think we have shown enough rottenness—we say rottenness—to justify an immediate and thorough investigation. If these two lofty pretenders have committed these unpardonable sins—if they have deeded in lands to which they have themselves no title, the factory must not go on with them at the helm! What schemes of roscare jobbery and fraud would open up before them—in the purchase of materials for the factory—in the sale of the bonds—in the custody of the funds of the corporation—in the thousand and one things that go to make up the sum total of this great industrial enterprise! The work must not be permitted to go ahead with these two men at the helm! We assure these honorable gentlemen that we have no "personal reasons for wishing the company to fail." On the contrary, quite reverse. We hold this enterprise, in common with the hundreds of subscribers to stock in the company, as an object dear to our heart, and we wish to shield it from all harm at the hands of pretenders of every kind! We have no personal reasons for wishing the company to fail. When the gentleman says so, he uses not only the argument of a fool, but he insults the intelligence of his auditors as well. Briefly, then, our position upon this enterprise is this: The company was organized to build a sugar factory near this city, and our people subscribed 1,200 acres of land with that purpose in view; but Fowler and Capitain, purchasing land for a song seven miles west of town, have by the exercise of the arts of those "conversant with corporations," succeeded in selecting a site for the factory away from the town and upon their ground or adjoining it. But we say, Let us build the factory any way. We subordinate our interests to those of the farmers who without literature, but this was more than the Pimaoma people would stand, and they let me move far away, and that they had enjoyed their day immensely. Redlands wants a revised edition of this story about the man who entertained angels unawares. TICKS FROM THE TELEGRAPH SACRAMENTO, Feb. 13.—The report of the Senate sub-Committee on Finance with reference to newspaper claims for publishing the constitutional amendments, was sent late this afternoon. Aggregate claims to $109,753 20 are cut to $48,662. DENVER, Feb. 19.—The Denver & R Grande authorities contradict the statements recently made in a dispatch from Florence that two carloads of oranges in transit eased frost-bitten. The temperature along the line of the Denver & R Grande Railroad has ranged no lower than along other transportation lines, and there have been no losses of perishable fruit on account of the cold. RAU CLAIRE (Wis.), February 18.—William F. Button, who was an independent candidate for Congress in the last campaign, has sued eight men for $10,000 damages. He claims that while he was standing on a table making a speech in the Democratic head quarters in this city on election night that defendants tipped over the table and others wise used him roughly, and he fell and broke his leg. The defendants include a grocer and two saloonkeepers, all prominent Democrat locally. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 19.—In the Assembly today she woman suffrage bill came under special order for final passage. A large number of the advocates of the measure assembled early and encouraged the legislators by occasional conferences and engaging smiles. When the question came up effort was made by Bettman, of San Francisco cisco, to adjourn but was defeated by a vote of 59 to 7. The bill was then passed without debate by a vote of 46 to 29, the ladies applauding when the vote was announced. The report that she heads of a number of rebels have been sent to the Sultan as trophies of the war in Morocco proves to be true confirmation having just been received from the scene of the fierce and prolonged struggle between the tribes supporting the Sultan's brother in his claim to the throne and their Government troops. The heads of thirty-seven of the leading rebels were sent to the Sultan, Abdul Aziz, at Fez. These heads were transported upon the backs of four males and one donkey. After being exhibited to them, the heads will be placed upon the city walls as proofs of triumph and a warning to insurgents. The rebel tribes in south, though powerful and brave, are being brought under subjection. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.—The greatest wine deal that has ever taken place in the United States was consummated to-day. It involves the sale of 19,000,000 gallons and the lease of six of the largest wineries in the State by the California Wine Makers' Corporation. The purchaser and lessee is th California Wine Association, an organization of seven of the principal wine dealers of San Francisco. The transaction means that the wine producer can hereafter make a profit, and that the big dealers will be merchants, leaving to the grower and presser a clear field for his industry and enterprise. When about ten days ago the Winemakers' Corporation sold its first 1,000,000 gallons of dry wine to Lachman & Jacobi it gave to the Winemakers' Association an option of an equal amount at the same price, namely, 12½ cents a gallon. This option would have expired to-morrow, and the Winemakers' Association, instead of merely taking 1,000,000 gallons of wine, purchased 4,000,000 gallons of the crops of last year and 1893, and contracted for 5,600,000 gallons a year for the three succeeding years. The price of the 4,000,000 gallons is 12½ cents a gallon, but that the next three years is to be fixed by future markets. The wine is to be delivered in San Francisco at the rate of 500,000 gallons a month, cash payments to be made in the month of each delivery. STOCKTON, Feb. 19.—Fire broke out at midnight on the stage of the big hall in the Masonic Temple, one of the finest blocks in Stockton, and before it was discovered and an alarm turned in, the great hall was filled with smoke and fire, which were bursting from every window. The fireman had a terrible battle before them owing to the fact that the interior of the hall was in a condition that made human life impossible a dozen feet from the entrance. Streams were turned on from several different points. Within half an hour the stage had been destroyed and the gallery had caught fire in several places. The fireman announced, however, that the fire was under control and it looks as if the building would be saved. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.—The real motive for the murder of Madge Yorke, in this city, last night, was revealed this evening by Edward Magge, the leading juvenile of the "Baggage Check" company. The story told by him not only maintains the theory that James B. Gentry fired the shots in a jealous rage, but involves himself as the involuntary cause of the deed. Ever since Gentry and the girl parted in New York five weeks ago, after a bitter quarrel, Madge said Gentry sent her telegrams daily. She paid no attention to them, however. Her neglect of her former lover was in consequence of the advent of a new one in the person of Mr. Magge himself. Gentry's persistent pleadings eventually became wearisome to the girl and she resolved to dismiss him. For this purpose she went to New York, but not finding him, she sent him a telegram saying that all was over between them, and she had taken her father's advice to sever their relations. Up to a late hour last night nothing had been heard of Gentry. Mrs. Emily Thorne, who resides at Toledo, Washington, says she has never been able to procure any medicine for rheumatism that relieves the pain so quickly and effectually as Chamberlain's Pain Balm and that she has also used it for lame back with great success.
