CHICAGO. Dec. i6-Edgar II. Farrar,
counsel for Stuyvesant Flsh. today took up
the argument IN favor Of the injunction
restraining +. II. Hartman and others
from voting certain shares Of stock OF the
Illinois Central Railroad company. Judge
Farrar asserted that the charter Of the
Railroad Securities company of New Jer-
ssy, which now holds the stock which MI
Hartman wants to vote. contains the
power and germs Of monopoly in It's worst
form. II was Ne said. unlike the Northern
Securities company. not confined to the con-
troll of two corporations, but a security
company which spreads its wings ever
every state and tefTitery IN the union He
cOntended that sueisa corporation could not
come into Illinois and own and vote stocks
in the public service corporations Of this
state, since to do so would be in conflict
with the public policy OF the state. Mr..
Farrar had eighty-four law books on the
table near him and he quoted literally from
these.
This corporation he said, cannot ex-
ercise under the statutes of Illinois any
corporate powers or functions unless the
statutes permit a similar body to be or
ganized in the state.

Henry Lucan. archbishop of Rheims and
MonHignor Paul Pierre Andreu, archbishop
Of Marseilea.
The pope delivered an address In which he
made reference 10 the persecution ~ the
Redecmer and said that his church had
been attacked from all sides IN warfare
open or dissimuiated. The rights OF the
church had been trampled on by those
who should safeguard them and the I'm

modernists such measures as were neces-
sary, striving particularly to save young
clergymen from pervision.
In conclusion the alocution reads:
The Episcopacy has accepted the papal
directions with eagerness and has applied
them with zeal, but the modernists perse-
we're in their rebellion and give manifest
proof OF their attitude even In the press.
May God enlighten these misled ones.
