FISH COMES OUT
ON TOP OF HEAP
Deposed President of the ILL
noiS Central Has More Votes
Than E. H. Hartman.
LEGAL FIGHT NOW CERTAIN
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING POST
PONED TO DEG. 10.

Chicago Oct. 2t.-Stuyvessnt Fish early
today secured a postponement of the Hi
nois Central stockholders meeting until
December. The Hartman people agreed
TO the adjournment. although they had
previously been anxious to push matters
as rapidly as possible.
The decision to adjourn the meeting was
the result of conference held at o clock
this morning between William Nelson
Cromwell for Mr.. Hartman. and Judge
E. II. Farrar for Mr.. Fish. The over
lures came from Mr.. Cromwell, who
sought out the Fish people and declared
that he wished to come 10 some sort of an
agreement. He was informed by Judge
Fa-rar that the only agreement that could
be reached was to accept the terms of
Mr.. Fish, which would be the adjourn
ment until December IS. and a decision
of court. if the Hartman people so de-
cided to determine the right to vote the
2Ss.7lS shares of stock against which a
temporary injunction was issued by Judge
Hall one week ago. After an extended
conference Mr.. Cromwell assented.
Text of Agreement.
The following agreement was signed by
M. Cromwell and Judge Farrar:
I'VE recognize that the numerous and
complicated legal questions at issue Will
inevitably prOlong the meeting for con-
siderable period and that no official de-
termination by the inspectors or tellers
as to the shares of stock represented in
person and by proxy at said meeting has
yet been reached.
I'm the interest of the company and its
stockholders at large we consider 1t best
to postpone the meeting to December Is
and we agree in behalf of the interests
we respectively represent that they shall
vote for such adjournment when the meet
ing convenes on the 22d inst. without any
reports being received or other business
being transacted or any determination of
the inspectors"

SIX YEAR OLD CHILD BURN.
ed TO DEATH

While watching the festivities at
tendant upon the celebration Of Chinese
New Year, Albina Porter the six year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Julien
Porter of Genoa was burned to death
there Sunday afternoon.
From what can be learned Of the
sad affair the little girl went in to
the Chinese wash house at Genoa to
watch the celestials celebrate and in
some manner her clothes caught fire
and before the blaze could be extin-
guished she was burned SO bad that
death resulted.
Julien Porter, father Of the girl, is

RAILROAD BUILDING IN NEVADA

New railroad construction in Ne
vada is for obvious reasons as slgnln-
cant as the states wonderful mineral
development in the opinion OF men
conversant with the subject. In no
section of the United States they say,
is railroad building progressing more
rapidly than in Nevada. In January
of last year the state had 1855 miles
of road. Now within it's borders 900
miles of new track are being built
and 500 more miles have been pro-
jected. SO the mileage under con-
struction and projected exceeds that
now in operation. This is considered
a remarkable showing for state that
a few years ago was considered little
more than desert waste.-Examiner

During the past sixteen years the
newspapers of Nevada have seen hard
times and once they had dwindled
down to fourteen ali told daily and
weekly. During about ten years of
that period the publisher who could
keep out of the poor house was con-

had helped place in Office and the lot
Of the scribe was anything but 4

changer for the better and the gen
eral boom that has reached the state

many localities. The Reno papers

are the perfection Of typographical

ADAMS FOR DEFENSE.
Said to Be Ready to Tell Story Of How
Orchard Planned to Suicide.

Boise, idaho.-It is stated here that
Steve Adams. who was for awhile aft
ser the Steunenberg murder thought to
have had something to do with the
crime, and his wife are to be wit
nesses for the defense in the Haywood
trial. They will give. II is stated, i'm
portant testimony relative to Or
chards alleged confession. According
to information given out, they will say
that Orchard became remorseful after
making the confession and planned to
commit suicide, and that he would
have succeeded had not Adams noti-
fied the warden of Orchards design.
According to the story credited to
Adams and his wife. Orchard told
Adams about his intention to take his
own life. This was before Adams
made his alleged confession and DUR
ing the time these men were occupy
Ing the same cell In the penitentiary.
Adams says Orchard became despond-
ent. and In telling him he intended o
commit suicide he explained how he
was able to do II. He was to break
the crystal of his watch and with q
piece of the glass sever an artery In
HIS wrist. After telling this Adams
says Orchard wrote farewell letter
to the world. saying that he was
ashamed Of his confession duplicating
others in the murder Of Steunenberg.
This letter. II is said, was In the lin
ing OF his coat. The warden was no.
titled and when he arrived he was
told the whole affair, so the story
goes. and the letter was taken from
him.

ODESSA JEWS IN DANGER
OF BEING SLAUGHTERED
Black Hundreds Terrorixing Students
and Jews, Firing voIIeys Into
Homes Of Their Hapless
Enemies.

Odessa.--The Black Hundreds took
advantage of the funeral on Wednes-
day of the police officials, assassinat-
ed at the central police bureau, to re-
new their attacks on the JewE. The
whole Jewish population becane ter.
ror.stricken. All the stores were
closed and the streets were almost de.
serted
Jews and students were barbarously
attacked and beaten, and Jewish
houses were fired into. One pretext
for this shooting was that shots had
been fred from the houses in question,
the well known provocative tactics
that we're INDUCED in at the Bialystok
and Siedlee being thus repeated.
Governor General Kaulbars. how.
ever. under the spur of private in.
structions from st. Petersburg, had
adopted measures to prevent the dis
orders from growing into general
massacre, and consequently another
prepared anti-Jewish attack has, for
the time being. been averted. Owing
to the unreliability of the police. the
governor posted himself and was In
personal control of the patrols at the
street corners.
Owing TO the constant danger to
their lives, the large Jewish popula-
ton OF Odessa is in a condition of ex.
IRENE nervousness. They do not ven.
ture out Of doors, and all the Jewish
stores In the city are closed.

CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON
Cars Supporters After Leader Of
the Social Democratic Congress.

st. Petersburg.-A warrant has
been issued for the arrest OF Nikolai
Lenin, leader of the majority faction,
now attending the Social Democratic
congress In London, upon the charge
Of high treason. He will be taken
into custody II he returns to Russia.
The warrant is against Vladimir
Ulianoff, alias Lenin, and 1t is said
that the police have identified him
as noted radical leader of the early
'9Os and a brother of the Ulianoff who
with four comrades, all armed with
bombs, was arrested in 1887 while
lying In wait for the carriage of EN-
peror Alexander II. and who was
condemned to death and executed.
Lenin is regarded by the police as
being the most dangerous and most
capable of all the revolutionary lead
ers, and Is well known as writer
on economic subjects.
