Company

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec. 1s.-An I'M
portant step in the action brought by the
Louisville school board two years ago
against the Illinois Central Railroad
company, an effort being made to de-
clare forfeited about 5000 worth of the
defendants property because 1t is not
used Yor railroad purposes. was taken
today when the plaintiff filed an inter-
vening petition to declare invalidated the
99-year lease under which the Illinois
Central holds the properties of the Chi
cago, St. Louis & New Orleans railroad
in Kentucky and also the 600 Is
sue of the 5o-year bonds issued by the
Illinois Central on the leased properties
In question.
Under the constitution of Kentucky
no corporation can hold land for five
years which is not being used for the
business for which 1t is engaged. The
Intervening petition filed today. which
is aimed az both the owners and lessor
of the property and the United States
Trust company of New York, trustee
of the bonds, charges that the property
in question at Sixth and Walter streets
was not really included in the mortgage

about fifteen feet wide and the large safe
sits back about twenty-five feet with
doors facing the street.
An electric light is kept burning in
front of it throughout the night and it is
