The answer was filed shortly after 10
o'clock. Immediately afterwards lawyers on
both sides conferred and agreed that they
would meet this morning at 10 o'clock in
Judge Adams's court and ask that date
be set for hearing of arguments
1t Is stated that since the attorneys for
the Wabash will file further affidavits Judge
Adams will probably set date when all
affidayits must be in and then will set the
date for hearing Of arguments on the case.
The response to the bill Is a volumlnous
document containing several thousand
words and dwells on each allegation con-
tained in the bill at considerable length.
The aIfidavits bear upon the charges made
against the leaders and members of the
committees and are practically all denied.
Immediately after filing the answer P. H.

Chicago.
1t is stated that J. N Judson of the firm

that r. ]. Pinney, w. /. Irwin and J. Muir
ply. who are the regular counsel for the
ORGANIZATIONS, Will act as assisting coun-
sci.
All of the local Wabash attorneys will ap-
pear. and 1t is expected that the battle will
be fought to the utmost end before either
side will concede victory.
In an interview last night Mr.. Pinney
said: ''On the allegations contained in the
bill as presented by the Wabash. 1t can
