J., Aug. 13.—Those | best acquainted with the subject in | the office of Secretary of State Dickin- | son say that the large falling off in the State’s receipts from the sale of | corporation charters may be due to | the possibility. that pretty nearly every { industry that can well be formed into {a trust has already been so organized. But they have not failed to observe |also that up to 1902 there had been a steady procession of new corpora. tions, large enough to keep the State’ income from that source close up to the half-million mark. Thus the $200,000 reduction in the annual revenue in 1908 and the loss during the current year of an additional $75.- 000 or $80,000 loses none of its sig- nificance as an object lesson on the apparent falling off of the trust ten- dency. Secretary Trusance, the head of the State’s corporation charter bureau, said there had been a considerable falling off in the number and much more noticeable decline in the re- ceipts. The State's fee is regulated by the caplitalization, and the figures show a smaller average capitalization in the new companies. Trusance could recall only two im- portant incorporations since the open.l ing of the fiscal year, that of the| United States Realty Improvement | Company, with a capitalization of| $30,000,000, and that of the Southern | Cotton Crop Company, with a $20,- 000,000 capital.

Clean Sweep and Captures the County Organization i S Speclal Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Aug. 13.—A quiet but determined revolution was effected in the Republican politics of San Joaquin George S. Harkness county committee and the legislative State ticket of the so-called Muenter- Beardslee faction was put through in the county convention by a big ma- jority. Frank E. Dunlap goes on the shelf for the time being, Senator Muenter having defeated him in the convention by a vote of 151 to 71. The election of a committeeman-at- |large came next and the friends of | | Harkness taking their cue from .he vote on Senator withdrew his name and E. P. Foltz, the. slate candidate, was given the honor. Foltz stated that he was unaware till last evening —_—— Promotion Committee Entertained.

They arrived at 9 o’clock on a special train from Boul- der Creek and were met at the depot by members of the Board of Trade, the new Santa Cruz Promotion Com- mittee and Bennett's Concert Band. Cars were in waiting and the guests were taken to the Tented City, where | they were assigned tents for the night. ! At the Casino a grand reception was | held. The address of welcome was | given by Mayor Clark. mittee were entertained this evening | | Institution Gives $100 to Man Who | Found and Returned Valise | Containing $14,000. | CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Thomas Tay- lor, a guard on the South Side Ele- vated Rallroad, has received a reward | of $100 from the Woodlawn Bank for | the recovery of a satchel containing | | nearly $14,000 lost on a South Side | elevated car. The valise is sald to have been lost by a messenger of the bank. Eight | thousand dollars of its contents was in gold and the remainder in bonds and checks. B Expert testimony depends upon who employs the exvert. He longed to create, by means of a more carniverous diet, a taller race of soldlers. Small boys in Government schools were fed for six or seven years in the Buropean way. They never became reconciled to it and it disagreed with them. Nor did they grow any taller than vege- tarian children. The doctors charged to look after the experimental diet sent in their report last year. They could think of no better way for se- curing tall soldiers than by encourage ing Japanese to marry Europeans— New York Tribune, The gulltier 2 man is the bigger the lawyer he hires. You can usually tell the degree of a man’s gullt by con- sidering the reputation of the lawyer. { ! | There had been some talk that in to be withdrawn from the Assembl: fight and the nomination given to for- mer Superior Judge Buck, a promi nent lawyer, who was looked upon with favor by the minority, but the Muenter people had the votes in the convention and they completed their slate by handing Beardslee the nomi- | nation for inside Assemblyman and J. W. Moore for the county district. Everything after the vote on Senator went by acclamation. The defeated ones have promised the ticket their hearty support. Com- paratively few votes at the primaries weuld have turned the results of to- day’s convention. Muenter is an ener- getic campaigner and Beardslee is a young lawyer, at present City Attor- ney.., Moore is superintendent of the Williams-Bixler ranch at Undine. Dr. Harkness had been chairman of the county committee for eight years and under his administration the party has been buiit up and strengthened. There has been an almost continuous fight against him and to-day his op- ponents landed a knockout. This was dene by careful organization, made cesier by dissension and a lack of vigorous leadership among the de- feated men. RN A G, DELEGATES FROM SHASTA. Republicans Hear George A.
