Further Details Of the Suit
Against the Rock Island.
Nay Disrupt the Roads New
Organization.
STOCKHOLDERS CLAIM
C. H. Yenner Says His Rights
Are IN Jeopardy.
STOCKHOLDERS CLAIM
Merger May Be Contrary to
Sherman Anti Trust Law.

Further Information about the Ven
ner suit against the Rock Island shows
that the people back Of the suit are
striking at the very root of the rsor-
ganized Rock Island Railway COM
pany. Encouraged by the recent decis-
ion in the Securities case. they allege
that the Rock Island is contemplating
certain combinations and mergers
which are contrary to the sherman
antitrust law.
The object Of the suit Is to compel the
Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail
way company to permit an examination
of its stock books and corporate rec
ords or bring them before the court for
examination. The suit was filed by the
attorney for Clarence H. Nenner OF
Neuner Il Co. stock brokers OF Boston
Mr. Veuner filed d bill for injunction
against the railway company several
months ago. That action is still pend
ing In his petition for mandamus he
attacks the reorganization of the road.
He declares that he owns 100 shares OF
the company's stock and says the COM
pany has refused to give stockholders
Information as to its actions, declined
to permit an examination Of its books
and has been guilty of many transac-
tions in violation of the rights of the
stockholders.
The petition charges that by some
form of compact the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific Railway company OF
Illinois has transferred the majority OF
Its stock to the Iowa corporation pear
ing the same name and that the latter
has transferred the stock to a COM
pany known as the Rock Island com
pany of New Jersey and that the last
named company is now acting as agent
for the Iowa concern.
To the Rock Island company of New
Jersey it is alleged. is given the right
10 mortgage and pledge the stock Of the
Central Trust company of New ork
and thereby. il is alleged. the stock
holders are deprived Of their privileges
under the laws Of the state of Illinois.
Another charge made is that.the COM
panv has schemes afOOt to change the
character of the roads stock making
eral different railroads which 1t IS the
purpose of the Rock Island to purchase
1t is claimed that d deal has been con-
sidered which involved the absorption
or the St Louis & San Francisco vail
road. a merger which would be in viola
ton Of the laws of Illinois and of the
Sherman antitrust act Other roads
which it is said the company plans to
absorb are not mentioned, but 1t IS
claimed the absorption would place
greater liabilities on the stockholders
and deprive them of their dividends.
The petitioner declares that the com
pany has refused to permit any stock
holder to inspect its books, he having
many times demanded the right to do so
and having been refused each time, the
demands having been made both in New
York and in Chicago. For this reason
and because the company has refused to
give out any Information as to its in
tentions or acts. Nj Nenner says he is
unable to describe with any exactness
the status of the stock of the company.

Mr. Robson was one of the oldest, as
he was one of the best known actors on
the American stage. Only recently he
completed his fiftieth year of active
stage work. Henry Stuart Robson was
born at Annapolis, Nd, on March 4,
1886, and was the son of Charles Rob
son, a respected and worthy citizen of
that city. AS a boy Robson attended
the district school in his native town
and later went to St. Johns college in
that city. His first appearance upon
the stage was in 1851. in an Uncle
TOMS Cabin company, but it was not
until 1870 that he attained any marked
degree of success, when as Captain
Crosstree in BLACK Eyed Susan" he
made a hit which was the beginning of
a career of great brilliancy. 1t was In
1877 that the Robson Crane combination
was formed and under this partnership
Robson won national fame. The Hen
rietta" was the great success of the
RobSOn-Crane company, and Mr.. Rob-
son last year revived it and repeated in
some respects his old triumphs as
''Bertie the Lamb" In 1892 Mr.. Robson
married Miss Mary Waldron of Chicago,
who has played in a number of the

CHICAGO'S CITY CAMPAIGN.
II Closes With Republicans and Democrats
Each Claiming Victory.

CHICAGO, April with the most hotly
contested Mayoralty campaign In Chicago s
history practically ended. the outcome
is still hidden in uncertainty. in the opinion
of IMPARTIAL observers. In accordance
with their custom the campaign managers
of each side strenuously claim that the
election Of their respective party tickets
is foregone conclusion. and as usual,
support their assertions by figures that
are widely divergent.
Chairman Revell Of the Republican Cam
paign Committee who, at the beginning
OF the fight, "s,,r.ated that the Republican
ticket would vi. by a margin OF $1,000,
contents himself with predicting the cleo
ton of Mr.. Stewart and his associates on
the ticket by an unusual majority
Mr.. Stewart expresses the opinion, based
upon personal observation and repre-
sentatives from all over the city, that
there will be practically Republican land
slide. Secretary Magerstadt Of the Repub-
lcan County Central Committee expresses
the opinion that Mr. Stewards plurality
will reach 81 900. but declines to give fig
ures by wards to show the basis OF his
claim.
Chairman Carey Of the Democratic County
Central Committee and Secretary IahifY
unite in the declaration that Mayor Harri-
son will have more votes TO spare than he
had two years ago. In an estimate by
wards they place Mr.. Harrison's plurality
al IS 600. as against 2S,343 in 1901. Mayor
Harrison adheres to his prediction OF
week ago. that he will win by from $4,000
In this connection it is worthy Of note
that two years ago the Mayors ante
election estimate was approximately cor
rect. He guessed within about 900 votes
of his plurality.
