Scented Plot to Keep Him in
New York.
PROCESS SERVER
Was Reported Looking for Him
With a Subpoena.
Which Would Hold Him Until
After the Election.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE World
this morning states that Stuyvesant
F1sh's sudden departure for Chicago,
last night, was due to his discovery OF
plot to hold him in New York un-
til the election of directors of the
illinois Central railway which takes
place December IS, in Chicago.
According to this story Mr.. Fish
discovered that process server was
looking for him with a subpoena to
appear as a witness in a case now on
trial at White Plains. This case, it is
stated will require several weeks to
try and attendance there would prea
vent Mr.. Fish from going to Chicago
and voting the many proxies which
are in his name and which he must
vote personally. The fact that the
subpoena had been issued. the story
says, became known by accident to
one of Mr.. Fish's friends, who at once
telephoned him. Thereupon Mr.. Fish
and his secretary rushed. to the Jersey
City ferry and caught train to Chi
cago.
Court Asked to Construe Order,
Chicago, Dec. 11.-Attorneys for
Stuyvesant Fish appeared today be-
fore Judge Ball in the superior court
and asked for a construction of an or
der granted October Is. on the prayer
of Mr.. Fish, restraining 2S1,231 shares
being counted at the annual election
in any vote where they would prove
decisive throughout the meeting.
Henry w. Leman, counsel for Mr..
Fish asked that the order be con-
strued for the benefit of all concerned.
He intimated that this action was nee
essary because of an alleged erron-
eous belief on the part of the defen-
dantS of the Hartman faction that the
election on December Is, no longer
hangs on the iniunctiOnal proceedings
Mr. Leman said that he desired to
give the defendants ample time to
bring before the court the question
of their right to vote all stock stand
ing in their name.
In his request as filed in court coun-
sci for Mr.. Fish declares that up TO
the present time, neither OF the main
defendants, the Union Pacific railway
company the. railroad securities COM
pany, nor any of the alleged substitur-
ed persons in whose names ii is
charged the stock owned by these
companies stands have made any mo-
tion to dissolve the courts order. or
taken any steps which put at issue
their right to vote the stock.
1t is held that the defendants are
claiming that the court order of Oc-
tober Is, is still operative over the
meeting of December IS. and must be
applied to the proceedings of that
meeting, so that the defendants are
entitled at such meetings. provisional
ly to vote the enjoined stock. and II
such provisional voting of such stock
gives a majority for any motion or
resolution 1t shall not be of avail and
the meeting must be adjourned. Mr..
Fish and his attorneys claim that the
modifying order does not apply to the
of December IS and that the
enjoined stock can not be voted un-
less the court dissolves the injunction
the informal hearing on the Injunction
will begin tomorrow.

JENKINSES INDICTED.
Father and Three Sons Are Held for
Crooked Banking.

New York Dec. 11.-John G. Jenkins,
formerly president of the First Nation
al bank of Brooklyn, and his three sons,
were indicted by the Kings county
grand jury today on charges of conspir-
acy and perjury. This is the first in
dictment against the elder Jenkins
but his sons already had been indicted
on other charges They are John G..
Jenkins, Jr., former president of the
Jenkins Trust company; Frank Jen-
kins, former president of the Williams
burg Trust company, and Frederick
Jenkins, a director in those institu-
tions.
The doors of all these institutions
were closed several weeks ago.
The four Jenkinses had been warned
that they would be wanted in court and
were present to be arraigned. Their
counsel pleaded not guilty in their be-
half and bail for John G. jenkins, Sr.,
was fixed at $4,000 while that of his
sons was made 81. 500 as they are al
ready under heavier bail in other cases.
The charges against them are based on
the loans alleged to have been made by
the First National bank of Brooklyn
and the two trust companies to the ac-
cused men.
1t is charged that they engaged in
consniracv to secure these funds in ex-
cess of 10 per cent of the paid in capt.
tai stock of the various concerns and
that reports to the state superintendent
of banks were so falsified by them as
TO conceal the fact that the loans were
made The charges of perjury were
based on this alleged concealment.

ORCHARD ON STAND.
He Again Relates the Story of His
Crimes at Pettibone Trial.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 1.-THE announce
ment that Harry Orchard would be
called as a witness in the Pettibone
trial this morning caused the presence
of many spectators a large number of
women being present. Orchard was
called as the first witness and he
promptly entered, accompanied by two
penitentiary guards. He was dressed in
neat business suit and in general ap-
pearance showed little change since the
Haywood trial. The witness was per-
fectly composed as he answered the
questions put by James H. Hawley, of
the prosecution.
The early life of Orchard in Canada
was touched only briefly. The witness
stated his true name as Alfred E.
Hoarley. and his age as 40 years. AS
he testified Pettibone and Meyer watch
ed him closely, but he merely glanced
in their direction. He told of driving
a milk wagon in the Couer D'Alene
country, of being in the wood business
and of finally going to work in the
mines and joining the union. In very
precise manner he narrated the events
leading up to the tragedy of April 20,
1899, when the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mill was blown up by the members of
the miners union at Burke, Gem and
into the testimony for the first time
when Orchard said that the defendant
told him in 1904, that the guns used in
the 1899 riot were shipped by him in
plano boxes from Denver.
Orchard said he was one of the 1,200
men who took possession of a train and
went to Wardner, and that he touched
off one of the boxes of dynamite which
blew the mill to pieces. He then told
of the calling of troops and the exodus
of miners from the district, the wit
ness going to Butte, thence to Utah
where he remained until 1902, when he
went to Cripple Creek, took up mining
again and Joined the free coinage union.
When the strike was called August 10,
1903 he walked out with the rest and
said he engaged in high grading at
the Vindicator mine Orchard then tes-
titled that w. F. Davis, a member of
the strike committee, asked him to
blow up the mine, while nonunion men
were at work in it, and he consented
to do so.

was intended as an auxiliary force.
