14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1§95. LEGAL BATTLE FOR THE STANFORD MILLIONS The Government’s Big Claim Comes Up on a Demurrer. LEARNED COUNSEL ON BOTH SIDES. Judge Erskine M. Ross of Los Angeles Listens to the Arguments. ATTORNEY JOHN GARBER TALKS FOR HOURS. He Holds That Individual Stock- holders Are Not Liable for Pay- . ment of Bonds. The battle for the Stanford millions has commenced in earnest. Great legal guns are arrayed against each other, and their thunderings were centered in the United States Circuit Court room yesterday, Judge Erskine M. Ross of Los Angeles on the bench. All through the day, during both ses- sions of the court, Attorney John Garber, the heaviest piece in the ordnance of the opposition to the Government claim for fifteen millions against the estate of the late Senator Stanford, centered his fire against the Attorney-General’s complaint, and when the sun had gone down he had not exhausted his ammunition. He will re- sume at the opening of court this morning, and the battle will wage fiercer and hotter as the hours progress. Every Californian is generally familiar with the history of the transactions out of which has grown this colossal litigation. It was started when Richard Olney, the Attorney-General of the United States, in- stituted a suit against Mrs. Jane L. Stan- ford, the widow and executrix of the late | | | or circumstance which is generally sup- posed to follow in the train of millions, the struggle began. The thunderings were slight to start and it would not be possible to tell from the calm dcmeanor of the opposing forces thata battle royal was in progress. As time wore on and the plans of the respondent were developed, it was ea?v to be seen that extensive preparation bad been made and that nota step had been or would be taken which had not been carefully measured and considered. | Mr. Garber, in support of the demurrer, opened the argument. He reviewed the act of Congress of July 1, 1862, to aid in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast, and the acts amendatory thereof, upon which the Government based all its | claims against the estate of ex-Senator Stanford. He then specifically attacked the allegation in the complaint that the stockholders were liable for the payment of the bonds issued by the Goyernment in aid of the building of "the road. Later in | the day he attacked the other allegation that ex-Senator Stanford, or his estate, or any stockholder of the roads was indi- vidually liable for the debts of the roads. Section 6 of the act of July 1, 1862, in which the conditions subsequent to the building of the road were set forth, as were the benefits accrued and accruing to the Government fre the carrying out of these provisions, was cited. Mr. Garber then read several. authori- ties to show that it would be preposterous to hold that, under the language embody- ing these conditions, and the conditions themselves, the stockholders of the road would be forever hable to respond for the faults of their successors in interest. “I say,” he continued, “that under the authorities and these conditions if it had been intended to ereate by these acts a personal oblization, or agreement, or cove- nant, it should have been expressed in unambiguous language; and a court can- not imply it from the language here used. On the contrary, not only what the Gov- ernment did not state—as it did not state in these acts—tends to the irresistible con- clusion that there was no contemplation, or thought, or intention of creating any personal agreement or liability to pay these bonds. When the Government came to express its intention it clothed it in technical language. They use the word ‘condition’—‘it is upon condition’ that | this thing shall be. Is it conceivable that | if it was the intention that the parties | were to be personally bound, that the deed | or agreement would have been couched in | any such language as that? “There is no reason,” continued Mr. Garber, “which would induce any reason- | able man, carrying himself bacx to the | year 1862 and casting his eyes around in izing their incorporation under the laws of the State of California, for the corpora- tors to build lines outside of the State. Under these laws the stockholders were only liable for debts and liabilities which might fairly be presumed to have been in contemplation of the laws of California when those laws were enacted. “In this case,” continued Mr. Garber, “upon these elementary principles, no in- dividual liability rests here upon any stockholder of any of these California cor- porations. It is nota debt. If it beone, this debt, which it is stated here was created by the constitution of the United States, it is not a debt which can, by any stretch of reason, be supposed to be within the contemplation of the framers of the constitution of California, or of the en- actors of the statutes of 1861. They were legislating with respect to California and California corporations. They were not legislating in regard to the building of transcontinental highways, or to the mak- ing of international roads to carry on oper- ations in China, or Peru, or Africa. “Now, in this case there can be no pre- tense that there was any power in the Cen- tral Pacific Railroad of California, or the ‘Western Pacitic Railroad of California, or the Central Pacific Railroad Company, to build one mile of road outside the limits of the State of California. Ifeverathingcould be said to be ultra vires, in the absolute sense of that phrase, the attempt of a Cali- fornia rflilrosg corporation to build a road from east of the SBacramento to Utah or to the Missouri River would be ultra vires. The men who took stock in such a corpo- ration could not be said to be liable—the law of California, I say again, cannot be stretched to include such liability as that. “Taking into consideration these mat- ters, it must certainly be held that what- ever liability vested upon the stockholders of any of these corporations must arise under the legislation of Congress and not of that of the Legislature of California.” Turning again to a consideration of the act of July 1, 1862, Mr. Garber pointed out that it had been decided by the Supreme Court that the stockholders of the Union Pacific Railroad were not individually lia- ble for one dollar of the debts of the road, while here was a suit of the Government to recover from the widows and orphans of the stockholders of the Central Pacific the money it had contributed in bonds for the building of a road which it needed. It was making fish of one and fowl of the other and was an entirely inexplicable pro- ceeding from his point of view. “In this legislation,” he went on, re- ferring to the acts of Congress, “‘there is not one word creating any_liability upon any stockholder of the road. It never was the intention on the part of the United States to exact or impose any individual responsibility or liability upon any of these stockholders in any of these companies. The very legislation of Congress makes this so plain that it is impossible to hesi- tate or doubt. “In eyery line and every feature of this legislation” stands out bold and apparent above everything else the clear intention, JUDGE ERSEINE M. ROSS. Leland Stanford, for the recovery of $15,~ 000,000, alleged to be due the Government by reason of the non-payment of bonds of the Central Paci Railroad of California and the Western Pacific Railroad of Cali- fornia. When the bill was filed in this circuit under the direction of Attorney- General Oiney it created a great deal of interest. No particular move was made for several months, the attorneys for Mrs. Stanford being, apparently, little worried by the big suit. They paid enough atten- tion to the suit, however, to file a demurrer, denying the liability of the estate of ex- Benator Stanford, and setting forth the want of ground in the complaint for equi- table relief against the respondent. Upon this demurrer the matter came up in the Circuit Court yesterday morning. The Government was represented by United States District Attorney H. . Foote and Special Assistant L. D. Mec- Kisick. For tne respondent was a particu- larly strong array of legal talentin the ersons of Russeil J. and Mountford 8. Wilson, John Garber of the firm of Garber, Boalt & Bishop, and F. E. Spenser, the latter bearing a most striking resemblance to Justice Field, taking a side view of it. ‘Without a ripple, with none of the pomp GENTLEMEN--- THERE ARE NO BETTER CIGARS THAN “CAPTAIN MARRYAT” CIGARS. s, s e “FINEST BEYOND QUESTION.* A~ A~~~ AAA~ HARBURGER, HOMAN & CO., New York, M akers.

Wh; should the Government of the TUnite States exact anything more?” Mr. Garber then referred to the Union Pacific decision in 91 United States and the sinking fund case in 99 United States, and contended that although it might be said that these menaced the tenability of his position, he was prepared to argue to the contrary. He went into an exiaustive review of the cases and then reverted to the conditions under section 6 of the act, and showed that there was a specific clause for forfeiture of the road in tEe face of a failure to comply with these conditions. Several authorities bearing upon the nature of the agreement, show- ing that tbe one in the act was an ac- knowledgment of money received, not a promise to pay, were also read and com- mented upon. At the reconvening of court after the noon recess Mr. Garber summed up the points in his morning’s argument, ho! ding that the Government had never intende to Jfeal with the men who_had stood for- ward to help it in a great National enter- rise in the hour of need as the money- lender would deal with his debtor. It had taken these men in as partners in a certain sense. Concluding this portion of his argument, he took up that part of the case dealing with the individual liability of the stockholder. . ““As to the matter of individuality liabil- ity,” he said, “I shail have but little to say. The matter of individual liability of stockholders is simply a creature of the statute, unknown to the common law, re- pugnant to the ideals of equity. The very 1dea of a corporation excludes the idea of individuality, In fact, the main purpose of a corporation—when the State sees tit to call in an nigre ation of means and con- tributions in the shape of a corporation— is to get rid of the law of partnership, which by reason of its onerous restric- tions of individual responsibility, tends to obstruct the advancement and progress which it is the idea and object of legisla- tion through these corporations to pro- mote. If it were not to get rid of this re- striction of individual liability there would, pe_rhugshbe little use for corporations. It 1s in the interest of development and prog- ress and advancement and production that this wiping out of individual liability is such a potent factor. “Whether wisely or foolishly, it has been conceived in many States that there should not be this unlimited responsi- bility on the part of stockholders of a cor- poration. In California it has been en- acted that the stockholders, in corpora- tions organized under the laws of the State of California, should be responsible for a proportionate amount of the debts and liabilities of the corporation, being, so far as this case is concerned, that pro- portion which the stock held by the cor- porator bears to the whole stock of the curp.okx;ltxotn." . ‘Taking fhe cases of the Central Pacific Buuronf Colpézlny.of California and the ‘Western Pacific d Company of Cali- fornia, Mr. Garber went on to gzo' that there was no power, under the law author- John Garber.

They were corporations, not sim- ply in the State of California, clothed only with the confined and limited statutory Fowers set forth in the constitution and aws of California, but the Government of the United States infused into them the breath of the higher life. It gave to them eater and more extended powers. t empowered them to do that which the State of California, if it had wished, was powerless to empower them to do. They were, to all intents and urposes, pro tanto, the creatures of the egislation of the United States of America and, hf the reserve power contained in that legislation, subject to alteration, amendment or repeal by the Congress of the United States.” Mr. Garber amplified on the question of individual liberty at great length and quoted a number of authorities. At the end of two hours’ constant talking in the arternoon his voice became husky, and at 40’clock he asked the indulgence of the court, as he was feeling ill. An adjourn- ment was taken until 11 o’clock this morn- ing, when he will conclude. It will prob- ably take the remainder of the week to finish the arguments. MATTIE MATHEWS' GUARDIAN. The Murdered Woman’s Husband Ap- pointed by Judge Coffey. Judge Coffey has appointed Edwin S. Mathews guardian of the estate of Martha (or ‘‘Mattie”’) Mathews, daughter of the uardian and Mrs. Jennie Mathews, who ied under iar circumstances recently after visiting one of the city cemeteries. The child is a beneficiary of an insur- ance policy of the Order of Chosen Friends in the amount of $2000, and Secretary Win- throp of the ofder is named in the policy as her trustee. The Order of Chosen Friends will now have to decide whether they will pay the amount of the policy to Winthrop or to the child’s father, yesterday appointed guardian her estate, which consists chiefly of the policy referred to. — ———— The amount of capital invested in tin rlnte works in this country amounts to ully $8,500,000.

The School Directors and City Offi- clals In General WIll Be Censured. The Grand Jury met at 2 o’clock yester- day afternoon, every member present ex- cept two. The session was devoted almost entirely to the reading of reports. Outside of the reports, only one matter came up for the consideration of the jury. It was the case of a downtown saloon- keeper, charged with stealing a watch. Attorney Barnes was on hand with several witnesses, but after examining one or two of those present further consideration of the matter was postponed until Friday. It is quite probable, however, that an indict~ ment will be found against the accused. The forecast of the final report of the Grand Jury, as published exclusively in the CALL of yesterday, has created some- what of a stir in the various public offices of the City. Dr, Titus was so much dis- turbed over the publication that he asked the Grand Jury to allow him a few mo- ments in which to explain certain matters. The jury finally agreed to hear the doctor, though, if reports be true, he underwent a laivl\;ganing process that was not at all to his ing. Dr. Titus told the jury that it was a mis- take to suppose that the City and County Hospital did_not receive all the coal re- ceipted for. While he never saw the coal, he had no reason to believe that the men employed to do this particular work would do anything that was not strictly honor- able. "The same was true of all the goods received at the hospital. The men in charge of each icular department were selected for their known honesty and up- rightness. everal jurors asked him what might be called leading questions, to all of which the gentleman in charge of the City and County Hospital had & ready reply. He admitied that it was possible for those in flhhl'lia of the receiving department toact in collusion with the contractors and he know nothing about it. He did not think it probable, iowever, that such was the case. Dr. Titus was in_the Grand Jury room nearly an hour and a half, yet in spite of all this the institution over which he pre- sides will receive its share of the jury’s at- tention, and that, too, in no pleasant way. N eufy every department in the City gov- ernment will be handled severely in the forthcoming report. The School Directors will come in for their share of the censure. The report will point out several mistakes that have been made during the past year, and also make such recommendations as they think are alsolutely necessary. The School Directors have been very careless in some of their work, the jury will say, and it is their purpose to make them a little more careful. The City Attorney’s office will be one of the very few departments to receive words of praise from the jury. The work in this office has been systematically and con- scientiously done, the report will say, and then will follow a few suggestions as to possible improvement in certain direc- tions. These suggestions, however, are not 10 be considered as unpleasant reminders, but simply as a pleasant way of doing an unpleasant duty. he report promises to be a lengthy and valuable document, and probably one of the most interesting ever given to the pub- lic. The grand jurors are of the opinion 1 f that there is a leak in nearly every City de- partment, and they do not hesitate to say s0. Those high in power will feel the wrath of this august body, while the lesser lights will be looked after without fear or fayor. % The Grand Jury will go out of existence as a legal body next Thursday. It has done a vast amount of work since Decem- ber 9, 1894, The gambling houses are all ciosed, while other places of shady repute have been forced to comply with the law.

A Daughterof the Manager of the Hearst Estate Married to a Wealthy Rancher. Miss Alice Stump, daughter of Irwin C. Stump, manager of the Hearst estate, and Alvis G. Hunt, were united in marriage yesterday. The ceremony took place at noon at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, Rev. D. Hanson officiating. The bride wore a white brocaded satin en train and a white veil caught by a beautiful diamond sunburst. She carried a bouquet of white carnations. Her maid of honor was Miss Bovhie Boggs of Woodland, and her brides- maids Miss Maud Atkinson and Miss Ag- nes Sadler of this City. R. L. Ulch was the groom’s best man and Elmer de Pue and Harry Malone were the ushers. The bride was given away by her father. There were present only the relatives and a few intimate friends. "After the ceremony the bridal gnny drove to the ralace Hotel, where the Stumps have been staying since their arrival from New York last week and where a wedding breakfast was served. The groom isa son of William Gaston Hunt, a wealthy resident of Woodland and a pioneer of the State. The groom has been for several years the manager of his father’s ranches in Yolo County. ————— Hamilton School Graduates.
