PUBLIC WROUGHT Up
SHIPPING OF LIQUOR INTO PRO
HIBITIoN DISTRICTS.
Representative Williams Argues for
His Bill-Delegation of German
Americans Heard.

Representative John Sharp Williams
(Miss) spoke before the House committee
on judiciary today in support of his bill to
prevent the c. O. D. shipment of liquor
into prohibition districts. He said this
method of shipping liquor enabled blind
tigers to thrive and many communities In
Mississippi were SO much incensed over this
encouragement of unlawful liquor selling
by express companies that attacks upon
express offices which were in effect bars,
need cause no surprise
Mr.. Williams said he was not radical
prohibitionist. but believed that where COM
munties decided on local option the United
States should not stand in the position OF
assisting lawbreakers by permitting c. O.
D. shipments into such districts. He said
that he had no thought of interfering with
the right of individuals to buy liquor ana
have it shipped whenever they please, but
desired that the wholesale shipment or
liquors c. o. D. to fictitious persons be
stopped. He said the bill clearly provided
for regulation of interstate commerce ana
was not the assumption of the police power
of states,

STRENUOUS FIGHT FOR CONTROL
OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILWAY
Stuyvesant Fish and w. L. Cromwell, Representing
Hartman Cashed Openly Before $50 Stockhold
ers from All Parts of the Country-Fish Appar-
emily Won, But Cromwell Says Hos Something
Up His Sleeve

Chicago, Oct. l7.-The fight for
the control of the Illinois Central
railway company waxed hot today.
Stuyvesant Fish, president of the
road, and William Nelson Cromwell,
representing +. Ii. Hartman, pre-
sideut of the Southern Pacific, clash
ed openly before $50 stock holders
who had come from various parts of
the country to attend the meeting,
On the face of the record, Fish ap-
pears to have been the victor, but
that the victory is not final one is
insinuated by Cromwell.
The clash between Hartman and
Fish was wagcd over an agreement
dated July 27, 1906, and signed by
Stuyvesant Fish, Charles A. Pea
body and +. H. Hartman. In June,
Fish had begun the collection of
proxies for the meeting held today,
He states that an effort was also
made by Hartman to get proxies
through Kuhn, Loeb q Co. On july
Is, Peabody introduced a resolution
at a meeting of the board Of dircc-
tors that 4 committee of the direc-
tory be appointed to collect proxies.
However, ON July 81, Messrs Fish,
Peabody and Hartman entered into
an agreement as follows:
"Thc three outgoing directors to
be- reelected. Mr.. Grinnell's success
sor to be- selected by a majority OF
the several directors acting. Pea
body's resolution Of July Is to be
withdrawn and not revived this
year Hartman will ask that the
Hartman Kuhn, Loeb & Co. proxies
be given to Fish"
G. w. Morton Grinnell, mem
ber of the board Of directors hat
died during the year. Fish claims
that the Hartman faction agreed
that Grnncll's successor should be o
man whose presence in the directory
would not be inimical to the inde'
pendence of the Illinois Central anC
would be acceptable to Fish. Henry
De Forest, director Of the South
