 Despite the charge made a week ago. | that the Peabody amendment emascu- | ated the Fish resolution and prevent | ed a real inquiry, 1t was carried in its amended form.
 The general belief in the financial dis .rict to-day was that the information hat would have been received by the original resolution would have been different from that requested by Mir. Harahan.
 Immediately after the meeting of the directors, having lasted from 11:3O to o'clock, President Harahan was serv- d with subpoena. in an unimport- mt freight suit.
 No one could be found who would 'enture guess as to whether the Har- han report would be made before the nnual meeting of shareholders. Fish ecently declared that he would no, tand for reelection as a director, but e also said that he intended to go to he annual meeting and tell the share olders just how matters stood. Those present at to-days meeting be- ides President Harahan, were Dlrec- DTS Vanderbilt, Peabody, Cutting. each, Luttger, Auchincloss, Fish. oelet and Hockstaff.
