RAILROAD WORLD

The Wall Street Journal of Wednesday prints the following regarding the re ported control of the Illinois Central by the Union Pacific:
 The report that control of Illinois Cen tral has been bought recently by the Union Pacific is not true Neither is it true that the Railroad Securities com pany is in control of the Illinois Central The facts upon which this story is based were published in August 3. 1905 by the Wall Street Journal, in the following language:
 Tt is a fact that the largest individual interests in the Illinois Central are close ly related to the Union Pacific control It is also fact that if at some future time the Union Pacific should decide to take control of Illinois Central allied in- terests will be in a position to deliver the control"
 There has been no great change in this situation recently. MT. Hartman has been director of the Illinois central for a great many years and has long been recognized as one of the most influential If not the most influential of the drec-
 
 ties company held at the last official statement Sl0,O00.O00 of Illinois Central stock, against which it had outstanding $1O,00O00O of 1 per fcent stock interest certificates, redeemable at 105 This amount of stock is controlled, for voting purposes, by the ownership of about s3, 500,OoO of Railroad Securities stock, be- lieved to be in the hands of the Harri- man interests
 A statement from Chicago that a mer- ger of the Onion Pacific and the Illinois Central would eheapen operation through centralizing the administration of the two roads is characterized as ridiculous in railroad circles. The idea of putting Illinois Central and Union Pacific oper- ating forces together Is almost terrfy- ing. Even the Southern and the Union

 It is not denied, and it cannot be de- nied, that the Illinois Central is closely allied with Union Pacific and Southern Pacific.

The courts have been rushed with work, the daily sessions having been long and ex- tremely tiresome to everybody connected with them and a result this opportuh- ity to get away for a few hours was wei comed by everybody from the judges down.
 The number of sentences imposed yes terday indicates clearly the great mass of work performed by the two diVlslohs the past week Several persons were tried and found not guilty and other persons sentenced to a short. term of imprison- ment in jail were sentenced during the week Three habeas corpus hearings con stunned much of the time during the week. and all in all it was a record breaker Tn the way of actual results accomplished and work done.

 The annual dance of the Brook. lyn Athletic club will be held to- morrow evening at the Auditorium, and. as usual. big crowd from this section is likely to be present.

There will be meeting of the Town Plot and Brooklyn Improve ment committee ins the Lyceum on Friday evening. Although this is not the regular meeting night, nos tices have been sent out by Secretary Humphrey and all members will in all probability be present. It is two I weeks since the last meeting, but there are five Fridays in this month and that is undoubtedly why the meeting for Friday night has been called. The matter which the mem- bers of the committee will now con- fine It's efforts is the equalization of the tax list. Chairman John Tender. son said this morning that the disso- lution of the bond committee would not deter the Brooklyn organization from carrying out the plan to equal ize the tax list of this city and the committee would work just as hard as it has in the past.
