DECISION ON OR

Argument in Illinois Central
Case Ended and the Court
Will Take Its Time.
POINTS MADE BY HARTMAN
TO BILL OF COM
PLANT ALLOWED.


today began before Judge Ball the clos
ing arguments in the superior court in
the Illinois Central stock Injunction case.
Attorney Herrick concluded his argu-
ment late this afternoon. Judge Ball an
nounced that he would render his decision
on or about Feb. 20.
Herrick's Summing Up.
In summing up his argument Attorney
HeTrick said:
I'VE say that we are going to vote for
three directors who served the company
all these years. We are not going to vote
for Mr., Fish for the reasons that are
stated and which are confirmed by the
statements of eight of his fellow directors
as to his unfitnesS for the position. We
say that we are going to vote for an in
dependent man who is not connected with
the Union Pacific. That is all we have
threatened. Both of these companies (the
Union Pacific railroad and the Railway
Securities company, have put themselves
on record as to that proposition. How is
it with Mr.. Fish? He does not deny that
this bill is brought, as alleged in the affi-
davits in pursuance of a purpose to pro-
mote his reelection. Not only as a di-
rector, but. as president. And he does not
deny that it is his intention in getting
these proxies TO vote them, not only for
his own reelection, but for the election
him. unknown to this court, in place of
these directors who have served all these
years and who were elected and re-elecI-
ed by his own vote"
U. p. a Connecting Line.
Attorney Herrick denied that Mr.. Har-
Timan was dominating the policy of the
Illinois Central Railroad company. He de-
clared the Union Pacific Railroad was a
connecting line and said that Mr.. Fish
was a director in a line competing with
the Illinois Central railroad.
The attorneys for Stuyvesant Fish filed
an amendment to their original bill of
complaint. intended to eliminate any pos
sibility of dissolution of the injunction on
the ground that it was not brought in a
proper manner. j. NJ Dickinson. attorney
for the Illinois Central. had argued that
the suit should have been brought in the
name of the individual stockholders. In
the amendment il was set forth that 10
have applied to the board of directors be
fore beginning the suit would have been
fruitless because of alleged personal hos
tility on the part of the Hartman direc-
tors Judge Ball ruled that as the object
and substance of the bill was not changed
by the amendment il would be allowed.
