president OF the Illinois CentraI,
struck back at Stuyvesant Fish to-
day and in a report to the STOCK
holders of the railroad threw light
upon the inside financial operations
OF the railway under the Fish re-
gimc.
Harahan, In a report backed by a
statement from the directors OF the
railway. charges: That Fish mis-
appropriated and lent himself on In
sufficient unmarketable securities

paid back to the road by Fish's
friends to save him; that Fish; as

the Republic, deposited large amounts
of Illinois Central money in the com.
pany when its credit was greatly
impaired, and that Fish betrayed
his fellow directors of the Illinois
Central to secure proxies which he
afterwards used In violation of his
agreements.
The Harahan statement to the
stockholders was the Hartman re-
ply to the charges and attacks made
by Fish and the character OF the
accusations hurled at Fish by Hara-
han caused surprise in railroad and
financial circles. The letter which
the directors OF the Illinois Central
served on Fish when they notified
him that they would defeat him for
the presidency explains much that
