straining Hartman From
Voting Shares Held by
Pacific Interests.

Entcago, oct. 21.-Stuyvesant Fish
early today secured the postponement
offsthe Illinois Central stockholders
nltaffng until December is. The Har-
riinAa people agreed to the adjourn
lisns- although they previously had
lFus anxious to push matters as
Fh as possible. The decision to
&pnrn the meeting was the result
H conference held at o'clock this
txhing between William Nelson
{Nriwell, for Hartman, and Judge
tHf I'll Warrar for Fish.
'Fhis postponement will give the
estrt a chance to determine the
right to vote the 2S6,71S shares,

Mas Issued last week.
Fish Has Upper Hand.
The proxy committee has nearly
fnished its work. 1t is believed that
the total number of votes to be re-
ported will not be far from 460, 900.
OF these Fish, according to excellent
authority, controls about 100000
and Hartman 10000.
Judge Warrar stated that Fish was
willing to grant the time requested
by certain stockholders until Dec. IS,
because he feels perfectly assured
that the shares now held by the Pa
cific interests will not be permitted
to vote, and that the ownership of
those shares by another corporation,
under the laws of Illinois, will be de-
clared void. He was willing to per-
nit the other side to have all neces-
sary time to secure the decision of
the court, hence he asked for the
continuance.
Was Surprise.
The request of Fish for post
ponement touay was a matter of con-
siderable surprise to both sides of the
controversy, as it had become so we'll
known that he controlled a majority
of the stock that a meeting was ex-
pected to be held this afternoon, at
which the election could be held.
The proxies committee would have
completed its work by p. m, and
1t was understood among the minor
stockholders up to a late hour last
night that there was no doubt that
Fish would dominate the election in
all respects. His actions in asking
that the election be continued until
December Is struck many of his
friends as a decidedly unwise move.
May Transfer Stock.
II was limited to his attorney,
Judge Warrar, that Hartman and
his friends might undertake to trans
fer the shares now held by Pacific in
terestS as a corporation to some pri-
vate individual and thus avoid Fish's
injunction which prevents them vot-
ing those shares but Judge Warrar
stated that the matter had been at
tended to and any such attempt
would result I'm more court action
and trouble for the Hartman inter
ests far I'm excess of any in which
they are now involved.
The full text OF the agreement be-
tween Fish and Hartman, through
the attorneys, is not given out, but 1t
is evident that II covers every point
of the difference, and that when the
factions meet on December IS, II will
be on the same ground that they now
stand, with the exception that the
Injunction against the voting of the
Pacific stock will be fully settled.

MUST STAND TRIAL

ton for a change of venue in the
case of Reeve and Kiser, accused of
murder, was argued in the district
court this morning. The motion was

prejudice. About 10 affidavits were

tion, holding that a fair trial could
be had here. The date of trial has
not been fixed.

setting the c. and S. depot at Bould-
er afire, and causing the deaths of

BIG fine CASE WILL Be
FOUGHT IN HIGH
COURTS
Standards Attorneys viii
Claim Prosecution Was
Not Legally Conducted.
TWENTY-FIVE POINTS
IN MAIN CONTENTION

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-Plans for a
strenuous effort that will be made
by the attorneys for the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, to have the
$29,24O,000 fine imposed by Judge
Lands, wiped out by the United
States circuit court of appeals, were
disclosed yesterday. Twenty-Five
main points, each of which the at
torneys will argue, is sufficient to
ed void, will be advanced when the
case comes to trial in January.
Among these points are that gov
ernment failed to inform the defense
of the Alton immunity agreement;
that the Elkins act, under which the
conviction was secured, was uncon-
stitutional; that as the Hepburn act
were returned, the prosecution un-
der the provisions of the Elkins law
was illegal.
Appeal Completed.
The Standards attorneys have
completed their appeal and are now
preparing for the big fight which is
inevitable when the case is called in
the upper court. The legal questions
will be submitted by brief, but 1t is
probable that oral arguments will
also be heard.
The Standards appeal brief is one
of the largest in the history of the
court, and embraces a great number
of pages. In addition to the immun-
ity and Elkins' law questions, il goes
into the testimony, endeavoring to
show that error was made by the
presiding judge in permitting GER
tain evidence to be introduced.
The great plea, however, will be
that the Standard Oil company of In
diana, the defendant in this case, has
a capital OF only $1,000,000, while
the fine imposed is nearly thirty
times that amount, and an effort will
be made to have the fine set aside
as too great. Judge Lands, how
ever, found that this concern is a
branch of the New Jersey company,
hence the big penalty he imposed.
