THE RAILROADS TO ACT
ALARMED AT PUBLIC AGITATION
OVER GOVERNMENT CONTROL.
They Have Embarked Upon a Cam

Bureaus Established.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, May 26.-Alarmed at the agi-
tation in favor of government control of
rates, the railroad interests have embarked
upon a campaign of education which is ma
tional In scope and which will cost them
a very large sum annually.
The educational work will be conducted
in New York and Chicago, which may
have branch organizations. The New York
and Chicago bureaus have been established,
their agents are touring the country in
search of information regarding conditions,
and they are already engaged in sending
forth tons of literature and preparing more.
The enterprise is under the active man
agement of G. 2. S. Michaels and ]. D.
Ellsworth, under the firm name of Mi
chaelis & Ellsworth who are working in
New York, Chicago and Boston. Back of
them in an advisory capacity is Slason
Thompson of the Railway News bureau,
an organization promoted by the general
managers of all the railroads centering in
this city.
The larger enterprise, however, which as
yet is not known by any definite name, but
tical bureau, has the direct backing of the
presidents of practically all the railroads
in the United States. In charge of the Chi
cago office in Orchestra Hall is LaurlSton
Ward former New York newspaper man.
Michaelis has general charge of the work
in Chicago, while Ellsworth attends to the
New York office.

THE STAND -PATTERS
MUCH ENCOURAGED BY THE
OHIO REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The stand-p patters are very much encour-
aged over the terms Of the platform adopt
ed by the Ohio state republican convention.
They were a little bit worried lest Secre-
tary Taft might introduce his plan Tor
canal purchases abroad and secure an IN
dorsement in the platform They realized
that such action would give the new idea
great impetus and party approval which
might be difficult to overcome.
But instead of that the platform gave a
left-handed slap at the new purchase
scheme, in the opinion of the stand-patters,
when it declared that American ships and
American sailors shall carry American
products all over the seas and through the
Panama canal" The stand-patters con-
strue that declaration to mean that Ohio
republicans do not approve the policy pro-
posed by the administration with respect
to purchase of ships and supplies abroad.
The stand-patters are further encouraged
by the clause in the platform which said
that no step should be taken which may
fmperl or threaten our good times. All
consumers and producers must stand or fall
together" That, of course, is an inhibition
which could only be effective by proving
that tariff revision would threaten good
times, but the stand-patters are glad to
have that much said, for they expect to be
active in trying to prove the result.
The next fight will come in the Massa-
chusetts state convention, where the stand
patters Will make a desperate effort to get
Endorsement or at least to prevent a tariff
revision plank. The head and front of the
high tariff movement in Massa chusetts are
William F. Draper, former ambassador to
Italy, and Albert Clarke, secretary of the
Home Market Club.
The stand-patters propose to push the
nomination of Eben S. Draper for lieuten-
ant governor and thereby get official stand
ing on the ticket and in the convention But
they will have uphill fight and In their
effort to commit the convention to high
tariff VIII certainly be opposed by Senator
Lodge and Senator Crane.
1t is said that Mr.. Draper recently wrote
letters to leading republicans in Massachu-
setts, including the representatives In Con-
gress' making inquiry about public senti-
ment on tariff revision, and the replies re-
ceived by him developed the existence of a
considerable feeling throughout the state
favorable to moderation in connection with
the tariff

Daring Attempt of Mikado's Men to

TROOPS RETIRE EASILY

GUNSHU PASS. Manchuria, May 26.-The
japanese tactics are puzzling. They give
way at the slightest pressure against their
center on both the railroad and the Man
DARN road. The Chinese explain the re-
tirement to trouble among the reserves,
some of whom. they say, are almost in a
state on revolt because the government has
not kept it's promise to return them to
Japan.
The retirement of the Japanese center Is
interpreted by some of the Russian officers
as a postponement of Field Marshal Oyama' s
offensive because of the bad state of the
roads, but this view Is not shared by all
the officers.
In order to prevent wrangling over the
question of reward or censure arising from
reports forwarded by the commanders in
chief through the army corps commanders
Gen. Linevitch, in an order of the day, has
directed that copies of the original reports
OF all encounters and individual exploits be
transmitted to his staff. well as briefer
reports through the ordinary channels.
Daring Japanese Raiders.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.-The daring
attempt of the Japanese May % to cut the
railroad and blow ur the bridge over a
tributary of the Tungliao, twenty miles
south of the Russian main line from Kuan-
chengtsu to Kirin, which are now connected
by field railroad, bears a striking resem-
blance to the blowing up of the bridge over
the Kainskair river 16O miles north of
Mukden. by Maj. Nanganuma of the Japa-
nese army just before Field Marshal Oyama
undertook to advance against Gen. Kuro-
patkin at Mukden.
Another parallel of the raid of May %
occurred while Gen. Rennenkampff's cav
airy recently was working around the Jap
anese left south of Fakoman, Just as Nam
ganuma's exploit coincded with Gen. Mist
chenko's raid on Newchwang in September
last. According to reports the raid of May
% was launched from Mongolia.

FLEET SPECULATION
All Kinds of Rumors Rife
About Russian Ships.
LATEST VIA SHANGHAI
BELIEVED ROJESTVENSKY HAS
DIVIDED HIS VESSELS.
Intense Interest Over Forthcoming
Naval Battle Has Given Currency
to Wild Stories.

SHANGHAI, May 26, noon.-There are
indications that Rear Admiral Rojestvensky
has divided his fleet. Seventeen vessels of
the Baltic fleet anchored at Saddle Island
last night. 1t is believed that they coaled
there and that from that point they will
proceed north.
LONDON May ga dispatch to Lloyds
from Shanghai under today's date says 1t
is reported there and generally believed
that several Russian war vessels have ar
rived off the Saddle Islands, a group of
twenty-five small islands situated about
sixty miles southeast of Shanghai.
The dispatch adds that three vessels of
the Russian volunteer fleet, the Vladimir,
Voronej and Yaroslav, and three Golfers
the Livonia, Meteor and Curonia, are an
chored at Shanghai.
TSINGTAU, May 26.-The whole Russian
fleet is assembled near Woosung and the
German squadron at Tsingtau is preparing
for eventualities.
The report from Tsingtau, the port of
the German concession at Kiaochou, Shan
tung peninsula, is in all probability a mag
MED version of the dispatch of the Asso-
ciated Press from Shanghai yesterday, say
ing that it was credibly reported there that
certain Russian vessels had arrived at the
mouth of the Yangtse river yesterday aft
ernoon. Both Woosung and Shanghai are
situated on branches of the Yangtse river
/ Five steamers of the Russian volunteer
fleet, three golfers and one Russian cruiser
were the vessels reported to have arrived
off the Iangtse river. Later the cruiser
put to sea, and three of the volunteer fleet
vessels went to Woosung.
1t is quite probable that the Chinese
ashore exaggerated this report into a state
ment that the whole Russian fleet was as
sembling off Woosung. No news has been
received from any other point tending to
alter the facts cabled to the Associated
Press yesterday from Shanghai, and there
is no doubt that if the Russian fleet really
had assembled off Woosung such important
news would have been flashed from Shang-
hal, which is only eleven miles south of
that place.

To Draw Off Part Of Japanese Fleet.
TOKYO, May 26, II amt is believed
here that the action of the Russians in
sending some vessels to Shanghai is part
of a diversion plan to draw off a portion
of the Japanese fleet. 1t is thought that
possibly the Russians intend to intern the
slower craft, but the visit and withdrawal
OF the faster vessels is regarded to BE
without purpose unless as a diversion
The whereabouts Of Admiral Rojestven-
sky's fleet is not reported, and opinion is
divided as to whether it has entered the
Pacific or returned to the lower Chinese
coast.
The location of Admiral Togo's feet con-
tinueS to be secret. Popular feeling is un-
disturbed, and the Japanese public is con-
hdent that Admiral Togo is prepared to
meet any situation.

DIRECTORS ARE RESTRAINED.
Decision in Action Brought by Share
holder of the Equitable.

nolueT OF the Equ1taDle.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 26.-Justice Maddox
of the supreme court, Brooklyn, handed
down his decision today in the action
brought by Franklin B. Lord, a share
holder of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society, to restrain the directors of the
Equitable from carrying out the mutuali-
zation plan. Justice Maddox grants Mr.
Lords motion, with some limitations
The suit was brought by Mr.. Lord as
owner of thirty-six shares Of Equitable
stock which he inherited from his father.
Six other persons intervened in the suit,
among them being James H. Hyde, the
vice president and principal stockholder of
the Equitable.
In his decision Justice Maddox says:
THE motion is granted, but limited to the
filing and effectuation of such proposed
amended charter, for 1t appears that such
contemplated amendment has been adopted
and executed by the board Of directors"
In his decision Justice Maddox sustained
the contention that the Equitable stockhold-
ers never had chance to vote on the mu-
tCaliZation plan and rejects as of no merit
the suggestion made in court by counsel
for James H. Hyde, that the assent of a
majority of the stock was sufficient, even
If no stockholders meeting had been held.
The justice quoted from former judicial de-
cisions to the effect that the Equitable was
that policy holders are not members of the
company. To deprive the owner OF stock or
the right to vote for the management of the
company, Justice Maddox held, might be
the same as deprivng him of his property.
The justice did not express an opinion as
to the ownership of the companys surplus
further than to say that whatever right, II
any the stockholders may have to the sur
plus must await the companyS final dis
tribution, while the policy-holders' right
is dependent upon his policy and its con-
tiEuance and must be determined by the
terms of the policy.
In conclusion Justice Maddox said. The
internal differences between some of the
gentlemen most prominently concerned with
the management of the company have had
no weight with the court on this motion,
and comment upon the allegations touching
such disagreements is unnecessary. The
court has nothing to do with the reasons
or purposes actuating those who have
sought to bring about the contemplated
change of charter or of those who now
seek to restrain it's effectuation. The in
tentions of all are presumed to be for the
good of those interested, and it is for this
court only to consider and to fearlessly de-
termine the questions presented"
The motion to strike out certain state
ments contained in the plaintiffs moving
papers and in the intervening petition filed
by James H. Hyde and William H. Nc
Intyre are denied. The motions to strike
out these statements were made by counsel
for James w. Alexander, president of the
Equitable.
