FlsH's CRITICISM VIGOROUS

NEW YORK, September 4.-Direc-
tors OF the Illinois Central Railroad
Company met to-day to act on the
business brought to sudden close
week ago. as the bylaws OF the COM
pany permit q special meeting TO be
called by two directors, the conclusion
was reached in Wall Street that the
session hal been called by Stuyvesant
I'.sh.
Those who attended the meeting
were the following: Mcssrs. Hnrahan,
Goelet, Peabody, Hackstaf. Auch!n-
Gloss Vanderbilt. Cutting and Beach.
At the offices OF the company 1t was
stated that no information regarding
the meeting would be given out. Mr..
Fish declined to makvAany statement
regarding what had taken place. Pres
ident Harahan could not be found at
ter the adjournment. According TO
statement given out by theNPresidents
secretary after his return to Chicago
last week, the resolution offered by
Mr.. Fish that brought on the clash
between Fish and Harahan asked for
certain information regarding changes
jn the company's methods of account
ing.
The resolutions were said to con-
tain charges against the present man
agcment. which Mr.. Fish desired to
have answered. They allege. 1t Is said,
that the affairs Of the Illinois Central
arc virtually being conducted from 12O
Broadway, the Office of the Union Pa
ciflc.
They likewise contained clauses
questioning the legitimacy OF certain
iinanial transactions in which the I'LL
nois Central had been engaged
With the adoption of the resolutions
to-day 1t was understood that some
answer would be prepared By the man
agement and submitted to the meeting
of directors, which will be held next
Wednesday. 1t is believed that the re-
solutions submitted and received to-
day. while carrying the import of Mr.
Fish's original plaint. have been so
.m0dified that part OF the sting was
taken out of them. However. IL is also
said that they still express his con-
tention and views as to the present
management of the Illinois Central In
most vigorous terms.

NEW YORK, September IA scene
more suggestive of modern play than
OF real life was enacted on board the
steamer Ryndam to-day. when Mrs,
Ferdinand +. Earle. of Monroe, N. ".
sailed for her native home in France
TO obtain a divorce. In order that her
husband, an artist and Socialist. may
marry another woman whom he de-
cIares he has found to be his affinity.
Mrs. Earle acquiesced In the plan by
which She renounced her husband to
another woman. II she did not volun-
tarily enter into the agreement to give
him his freedom, and faced d group OF
reporters and curious persons on the
steamer to-day with smile which
gave no hint of any regret at her part
in the strange domestic drama In
which she is taking the leading role
Mr.. and Mrs. Earle left their home
in Monroe together to-day, and drove
past curious groups of townspeople to
the railroad station. There was little
Kissing as Mr.. Earle boarded the train,
but 1t is doubtful whether Mr. Earle
heard IL above the other noises. Mrs.
Earle, with her little son. Harold, aged
two and one-half years, who will share
her exile. reached the steamer in adj
vance of Mr. Earle. and went at once
to her stateroom. Mr.. Earle arrived
soon afterward, and together they APP
peared on deck TO meet the reporters.
They posed together for photo
graph, both smiling and apparently
content with the odd twist that fate
has given to their lives. Mrs Earle
declined to make any statement, but
her husband said.

CASTS DOUBT ON
"OLD IRON SIDES
Secretary OF Naval Committee
Says the Frigate Constitution
Has Little Historic Interest.

BOSTON. MASS, September 4.-Bcn-
jamin II. Miller secretary of the House
Naval Committee. which Is inspecting
the Boston Navy Yard. made some
historic frigate Constitution. against
the removal of which to Annapolis
strong protest has been made here.
He says:
Not piece of wood the size of
toothpick in the present vessel is from
the Old Ironsides of 1912. in which was
put very little Of the wood OF the Old
lronsides. AS for the claim that Bos-
ton should keep the Constitution 1t Is
all rot. What Boston needs to do II
she wants to keep the boat, Is to pay
back to Congress the $4,000 which
that body paid out for the fixing up
OF the boat.
THE vessel should be taken away
from Charleston, as the people of this
section of the country have no more
Oklahoma or Dakota. When the Con-
stitution was last fixed over Congress
appropriated 100000 for the work.
That money came from the people of
this country at large, and not from
Massachusetts alone. as people of the
Bay State have always maintained.
This ship Is taking too much room
at the navy yard already. What should
be done with the Constitution is to
tow her to the various naval points In
the country SO that all people OF all
sections could be given chance to
see the ship.
MANY persons labor under the delu-
sion also that the Ironsides of to-day
is tho Ironsides that rendered such
service in the War OF 1872. Nothing
Old Ironsides was destroyed many
years ago and the vessel that to-day
bears the name Of the Constitution is
another vessel"
