FISH /. HARTMAN CASE
Formers Counsel, Declares Charter Of
Railroad Securities Company Of New
Jersey, Contains Germs Of Monopoly
In Worst Form.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Legal arguments
in the case of Stuyvesant Fish against
Edward H. Hartman, involving the
matter Of voting certain shares Of
stock at the postponed annual meet
ing of stockholders of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company. were contin-
ued today before Judge Ball, in the
superior court. Edgar H. Farrar, coun-
sci for Fish, devoted his attention par
ticularly to the railroad securities
company of New Jersey, which holds
the stock which Hartman wants to
vote. Farrar urged that the charter
Of this corporation contains the power
and germs of monopoly in it's worst
form. 1t was, he said, company
which spreads its wings over every
state and territory in the union. He
contended that such corporation
could not come into Illinois and own
and vote stock in public service cor
porations of this state, since to do SO
would be in conflict with the public
policy laws of the state. Farrar had
eighty-four law books on the table
near him, and he quoted literally from
these volumes to fortify his position.

FOUR NEW CARDINALS
Pope Also Recognizes Several Bishops
In Secret consistory at the Vatican
Refers In AlIocution to Persecution
Of the Catholic Church.

Rome, Dec 16.-Pope Plus x today
in which he created four new cardinals
and preconized several bishops. The
new cardinals are:
Monsigno R. Pietro, Gasparri, secre-
tary Of the congregation extraordin-
ary of ecclesiastical affairs; Monsignor
Delai, secretary of the congregation of
councils; Monsignor Ludovic Henry
Lucon. archbishop Of Rheims, and
Monsignor Paul Pierre Andrieu. arch
bishop of Marseilles. The pope ap-
pointed Monsignor Kennedy, rector OF
the American college here, to be titular
bishop c,f Indianapolis, and Monsignor
Dennis OConnell, rector of the Catho-
lie University at Washington. to be
titular bishops at Sebaste.
The pope delivered an allocution in
which lie made reference to the per-
secutior of the redeemer, and said his
church had been attacked from all
sides, III warfare open or dissimulated.
The rights and laws of the church
have been trampled on even by those
who are said to safeguard them, and
the impious and vulgar press had
fought her even to the extent Of dis
turbinf; the public quiet. The pontiff
cited The recent disorders in Italy and
disastrous propaganda in the bosom
Of Catholicism itself, which is being
carried on by modernists who disdain
pontifical authority and desire them
selves authoritatively to sanction a
new faith and new conscience"
Fulfilling his apostolic duty the pope
said that he had adopted against the
modernists such measures as were
necessary, striving particularly to savo
young clergymen from perversion.

salutng cannon were brought into play
and with twenty-one guns the flagship
voiced her farewell message.
A Fitting Honor.
1t was peculiarly fitting that the
Connecticut should lead the greatest
fleet ever sent from American shores.
She is the product from stem to
stern, from keel plate to fighting top,
of the American naval establishment.
Designed at the navy department at
Washington and built at the Brooklyn
navy yard, the Connecticut represents
the highest type of fighting machlne
the navy has ever known. Her size,
measured by the water the great hull
displaces and not by her carrying ca
pacity, is registered at 10000 tons. The
energy of her twin reciprocating en-
gines is rated at 16,500 horse power.
Her estimated speed of eighteen knots
per hour was easily exceeded on her
trial trip. In armor the Connecticut is
belted with eleven inches Of well nigh
invulnerable steel amidships to protect
her vitals. The battery OF the Connec-
ticut stands as a great increase IN
power over anything heretofore at
tempted on an American battleship.
Will Travel at Slow Speed.
Following the Connecticut and sa-
luting in their turn, with bands play
ing, drums rufflng and guns booming,
came the Kansas, Vermont, Louisiana,
Georgia, New Jersey, Rhode Island,
Virginia, Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri,
Maine. Alabama, Illinois, Kearsarge.
and Kentucky, These were followed
by the fleet of auxiliaries. the Culgoa
and Glacie. supply ships, the Panther,
repair ship and Yankton tender.
When the echoes of the saluting can
non of the Kentucky had died away
across the waters, the Connecticut, at
the head of the column four miles
sway, had almost Sreached the capes
and the history making journey had
begun In earnest. Clearing the capes
later. the Connecticut showed way
down the coast. 1t is expected that at
sea various maneuvers and different
squadron formations will be tried. but
the speed will always remain the
Same, ten knots per hour, unless some
ship should have to exceed that limit
temporarily to correct her position or
carry out some order.
At 1905 the presidents yacht May
flower started up the Chesapeake bay
on its return to Washington.

A characteristic speech was today

He spoke on his resolutions directing
an investigation Of the recent bond

good many matters concerning the
financial affairs Of the country. The

Pierpont Morgan "in aiding the coun-,
try to get a grip on itself and not let
everybody go crazy and .precipitate,
further loss and horrors on the coun-

welt was a patriot, that while he had
been guilty Of many indiscretions and
said many things which in cooler mo-.
ments he would have been willing to
take out Of print, he did not believe
the president felt any satisfaction
whatever in having been instrumental
in the present financial paralysis, as
had been charged.
Tillman criticised the comptrollersi

he said, was to be present and look
nice, and when they retired from Office
they were Immediately appointed pres
ident Of national banks and big trust
companies and became kings Of
finance.
In regard to bank failures and defal-
cations, Tillman said the president
had claimed to have turned on tho
light. He wanted to know. however,
why he hadn't also turned on ths
handouts when he found the fellow
stealing.
