Condition of Francis Joseph,
Aged Emperor of Austria,
Shows No Improvement.
IMPERIAL PATIENT FEEBLE
UNSATISFACTORY ACTION or
THE HEART.

Vienna, Oct 15.-According to trust
worthy information the condition tonight
of Emperor Francis Joseph shows no i'm
provement- The fever has returned to a
moderate extent, but, in spite of this his
majesty remains in good spirits and to-
day he expressed desire for physical ex-
ercise. The minister of finance today de-
clared al the opening of the bOurse that
his majesty's illness was pursuing a sat
isfactory course. and it would therefore
seem evident that no imminent danger is
feared.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to
the throne, called at the palace to in
qure regarding the emperor's health He
remained at the palace for half an hour,
but did not see his majesty.
The doctors made their regular exam
inatiOn of the patient this evening, after
which the statement was given out THE
general condition of the emperor is very
feeble. The catarrh and the fever are
decreasing
Early Bulletins.
1920 p. m.-The doctors optimistic ex-
pTessiOns regarding the improvement in
the health of Emperor Francis Joseph
have not yet been fully realized the sleep
of the patient last night was repeatedly
disturbed by a strong. exhausting cough,
making necessary the application of a
wet pack.
The emperor rose a little later than
usual and was somewhat tired after yes
terday's work. Nevertheless. he imme-
diately received the court officials and a
Hungarian official, who had a report to
make regarding the progress of putting
the ausgleich in operation.
Later, however. the patients condition
became worse The fever. which ceased
last night. required moderately at about
10 o'clock his hearts action and general
condition are not unsatisfactory. The OBJ
stinacy of the fever alone, causes uneasi-
ness, the frequent coughing being accom-
panied by abundant expectoration. The
attending physicians again today In
formed the emperor that a trip to some
southern place was advisable. but he de-
cidedly refused to leave Schoenbrunn cas-
tie. saving it would be too tedious for him
anywhere else and saying that he must
work. as otherwise fall sick-showing that
he did not consider himself Ill.

PIERCE NEEDED NO PULL"
Salt Lake Man Given High Position
Solely on Account of His
Known Ability.
Especial to The HeraldD

Washington. Oct. 15.-Frank Pierce of
Salt Lake City will become first assist
ant secretary of the interior department
on Nov l. succeeding Judge Thomas
RYAN of Kansas, who has been moved
TO a less responsible position. Pierce was
selected for this office solely by Secretary
Garfield who has known him well ever
since the two were students at Williams
college.
Pierces appointment is in no sense po-
litioal for he was not endorsed by either
-Utah senator or by any other politician
of Utah. Secretary Garfield knew him
TO be a lawyer of high standing and from
his intimate acquaintance with the man
felt that he was fully competent to fill
the responsible position. Since he took
hold of the interior department Secretary
Garfield has been surrounding himself
with men of his own acquaintance, TAX
ing full responsibility for their appoint
ment and in turn holding them strictly
accountable TO him 1t was so he selected
his commissioner of the general land Of

AUSTRIANS IN FREE FIGHT.
Police Called to Stop Fracas at the
Caliente Bar.

Paul Sleenick, barkeeper off duty, and
John POwleuch. a labOrer, both Aus
trians, made things lively for a while at
the Caliente bar, 263 West South Temple
street, about o'clock last evening by
engaging in a fistic. encounter, which
grew to proportions that caused Patrol
men Curran and Wheeling to turn in a
hurry call for the wagon.
1t seems that the two men were stand
ing at the bar in the place when they
became involved in a quarrel, and soon
one of them struck the other-then the
melee. The place was filled with Aus
TRANS, who, according to report, all took
a hand, each trying to quell the disturb
ance by putting the rest of the bunch out
of commission.
Quick work on the part of the officers,
however, soon ended the fracas, and
Sleenick was landed behind the bars,
while Powleuch was sent to the emerg-
ency hospital to receive treatment for Sc
we're scalp wounds and other injuries.

In talking of prospects of the Illinois

would help the Illinois Central.
Commenting on railroads generally,
Mr.. Hartman said:

hension of any sort for some time to
come. To keep the business of the
roads up to volume now being handled.

OF THE BARGAIN

their owners in court. My friend is
too learned to stake his reputation
on that assertion
Turnings to Mr.. Fish, whose eyes
never left the face of the speaker, Mr..
Cromwell said:
Here is a man who seeks a tenn
porary injunction at the last hour to
enable him to prevent the voting of
stock that he has voted for years. to
grab control, to seize with a minority
the management of this corporation.
He has not votes enough, and that is
why he seeks an injunction.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Cromwell's
argument, Judge Hall said:
Il believe that / will have to modify
the injunction. / have no power to adj
journ the meeting of the directors to-
morrow. 1 suggest that the attorneys
confer and see if some agreement cam
not be reached.
Suggestion of the Court.
Judge Farrar and Mr. Cromwell re-
tired to the chambers of Judge Hall.
Judge Farrar suggested that every
possible effort be made to secure the
conduct of the meeting in an orderly
and dignified manner, and declared
that Mr.. Fish was willing to agree to
the modification of the injunction as
asked by Mr.. Harriman's attorneys,
providing that a committee of three
should be appointed to consider and
report upon proxies. This was agreed
to by Mr. Cromwell, and a stipulation
to that effect was incorporated in the
order of Judge Hall. OF this commit
tee. Mr. Hartman is to select one, Mr..
Fish another and the two a third. The
committee will make its report to the
general meeting of stockholders. The
court also directed that the proceed
ings of today shall not prejudice any
proceedings that may be commenced
hereafter by either party to the dis
pute.
Both Claim Victory.
AS the matter stands tonight, both
sides believe that victory is in their
grasp. Both are of the opinion that
they hold the greater number or prox-
les, but the actual facts in this connec-
ton cannot be guessed with any accu-
racy. It is claimed in this connection
by the attorneys on both sides that
MANY stockholders have issued dupli-
cate proxies, and as the proxy of latest
date is effective, neither side knows
exactly where it stands. Neither will
give out figures.
Mr.. Hartman arrived in the city to-
day. but did not attend the court pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Fish was in court
throughout the day.
View of Mr.. Hartman.
E. H. Hartman, commenting on the
decision of Judge Hall tonight, left the
impression that he considered 1t a de-
cided victory for his side.
1.-THE papers in their head lines have
NOT given the right impression of the
courts ruling" he said. LAS l under
stand it, the 2s6,OO0 shares of stock in
contention can be voted professionally.
That means that If we have enough
votes to elect our men without the
2Se, 600 shares you probably will hear
nothing more about the matter. III Mr..
Fish has sufficient votes outside this
stock to put his program through, the
matter will be taken to the highest
courts of the land before 1t finally is
settled. Since the injunction has been
modified. the election viii be held and
there will be a showdown. We are
