''Nhy not?"
Because to get even with me it
would be necessary for them to
make certain discriminating admis-

that would entail caustic remarks
from learned judge. and would not
improbably lead to a charge of muir

that it is rather hard lines on a man

For the benefit Of the coal fund Of the

The benefit for the charity is benefit

the proceeds of the performances are to
be turned over to the representatives of
the Citizens Relief ASSOCIATION, and will
be spent at the beginning of next week
in alternating the suffsrngs of the needy.
In view Of the advanced prices Of coal,
and the number OF cases to be relieved,

throughout the length and breadth of

Be NO RADICAL
CHANGE OF POLICY
Annual Meeting Of |. & N. Stock
holders Held Yesterday.
THE DIRECTORS ARE CHOSEN
The Changes Are Comparatively Few
August Belmont Says Officers to
Be Chosen Will Be
Agreeable.
fBy Associated Press.)

LOUISVILLE, ky. December 1.-THE
annual meeting OF the stockholders of the
oa:sville and Nashville Railway was
held here to-day. More than ordinary in
terest centered in the gathering. as it was
the first meeting of the stockholders since
the system passed under the control OF
the Atlantic Coast Line.
The annual report of President Smith
was not read, as it was made public at
the brief meeting held in November.
The meeting of the stockholders was
harmonious throughout. and all who at
tended were pleased at the outlook, as
evinced by the new directors. While con
trol of the Louisville and Nashville prop
erty has passed to the Atlantic Coas;
Line. it seems certain that the old officers
Of the Louisville and Nashville will be
retained w. R. Belknap presided. A few
more than 100000 of the GOO, 0OG shares were
represented.
THE DIRECTORS.
After verifying the proxies the follow
ing Board of Directors was chosen:
August Belmont. chairman. Louisville
and Nashville Railway Company. New
York, reelected; r. G. Irwin. president OF
the Atlantic Coast Line. New York; NJ.
r. Smith president of the Louisville and
Nashville. Louisville. reelected: H Wal
ler, chairman of the Board of Directors,
Atlantic Coast Line. New York: Warren
IeLano. Baltimore: Warren G. Elliot
president of the Atlantic. Coast Line OF
Connecticut and general counsel Of the
Atlantic Coast Lines. Baltimore: Michael
jenkins. Baltimore. stakeholder Atlantic

ance Company. New York; A1tila Cox

&. Raoul, president National Railroad
Company of Mexico. New York. reelected:
John l. Waterbury. president Manhattan
Trust Company, New York reelected;
Walter B!ackman. New York. reelected ;
r NJ Lane. reelected
When seen after the meeting August
Belmont said: 'sThe directors of the road
will meet in New York on Friday. ! pre-
fc:. not to forecast their action. but 1
will say that there will be no radical
change in policy and that the officers to
be elected will be agreeable to the old
constituency of the road.
Mr. Belmont and Milton H.. Smith left
the meeting arm In arm and apparently
in the best of spirits 1t is said that Mr..
Smith will be reelected rresi6tnt on
Friday with the same authority. and that
there will he no changes among the off,
GERS of the road.

II 49, -
THIS is HARDLY PROBABLE
Special Session Called for Tonight.
IfFnance Committee Plan is Ac-
copied Matter Will again Have
to Go 10 Common Council.

!: From present prospects it would seem
that ffty-odd men. employees of the City
Street Cleaning Department, will be dis
charged by the head of the department,
and the yards of citizens Will go without
cleaning for several weeks to come, all
OF which is the result Of the action Of
the Council COMMITTEE on Finance last
Tuesday night in refusing to order the
transfer Of 81, 400 from the expense to the
payroll account of The Health Depart
ment recommending. in lieu thereof the
transfer OF only $3.50. a special meeting
OF the Board OF Aldermen mas been Cali
ed to CONSIDER the matter, and tonight
the fate of fifty-three employees Of the
city and the back yards OF all the people
viii be definitely decided.
The situation is pecuiar. In the event The
Board adopts tie recommendation OF the
Finance Committee and orders transfer
of. only $3.50 from one account to the other
the proposition Will Of necessity have to
go back TO the Common CoLncil for con-
GU renee. This Will require not less than
four days. In other words. Christmas
Eve viii have arrived before the lower
branch has passed upon the matter.
and II the employees receive any money
with which to fix themselves and family
for the holiday the Auditor will be re-
CURED to keep his Office open on the an
niversary.
MAY Reject II.
But the Board is clothed with the power
to turn down the scheme of the Finance
Committee aad concur in the action of the
Common Council. voting a transfer Of
S1,1OO and thus bringing to an end any
probability Of the plan being further held
up. But this does not seem probable
On the Finance Committee there are
Ave members of the Board of Aldermen,
end ii is safe to say that they Will vote
against a transfer of sl700, and a two
thirds majority is necessary to make the
deal.
Even if all of the members should be
present, and this is doubtful. this rule
viii hold good. There are ony twenty
one representatives in the Board and four
teen constitute a two-thirds vote. Five
of these members being against the plan
It will readily be seen that out OF the
remaining seventeen only a margin Of
four is required to defat the p;o-
position TO defeated the S1.7oo TRIMS
fer. Hence 1t would appear that the
scheme will be lost and the recommended
ton OF the Finance Committee adopted.
