"On September 10 the Massachusetts,
Railroad Commissioner will nave a confer
ence with representatives OF the Boston
Merchants Association and the Chamber Of
Commerce in regard to the serious delays
Of passenger trains from h West at Albany
and between Albany and Boston.
This is another point in which the New

discriminating against Boston in favor OF
New York. The New York bound Sec
tions of those Western trains are not
deprived Of their dining and buffet cars.
nor Is there such grave complaint that the
trains are far behind in arrival at the Grand
Central Station. This is a matter involving
much more than the personal ~inconven-
fence Of Boston travellers. 1t ~discourages
Western men of business from making their
customary visits To this city. and thus costs
our merchants a sluable patronage, which
must be retained here.
Unless Boston In to sink into the status
of a mere commercial suburb Of New York
the grievance Is a real n large one and
the righting Of it will be well worth the
time and trouble 1t may cost the Railroad
Commissioners"

from Spokane says Jack Simpkins was

last week and interviewed and said
he did not make any effort to avoid
arrest: that he had been in Denver.
Seattle. British Columbia and other
places; that he had brushed up
against policemen and detectives, but
that he is not courting arrest because
perhaps several years would elapse
before he was brought to trial.
What Is there in Orchards con-

Il don't know. I will say this. how
ever | was in Boise at the time and
saw Orchard there. He was trying. 50
he claimed. to buy a small ranch"
why did he implicate you In his
confession"
He's crazy. But he evidently had
sense enough TO implicate me so as
TO give credence to his story. as he
must have realized that the fact that
] was known TO be there at that time.

The party arriving today consisted of
Secretary Latta and Messrs. Parks,
Shields and Mangum. the last named
a friend from Mississippi, with whom
the president became acquainted at
Smeads and who invited him yester-
day to the camp. They brought only
the report that the president and his
remaining companions had made an
early start and that they were in high
spirits and very hopeful of better for
tune than has yet attended the hunt,
Several members of the party have
wolves at the lake and bear tracks
are reported to be numerous, two
timber wolves yesterday passing
within plain sight of the camp and SO
excellent is the outlook that the
president has decided definitely to re-
main at the present location and not
to go 10 Tenasas as planned last week.
The president spent yesterday in ease
around the camp, the only exercise by
him being a walk around Bear lake
and a row on the water In company
with Mr.. Mangum. No member of the
party made any attempt at hunting

controlled in the interests of the
Union Pacific.
1t is set forth in the petition that
the object and purpose of the Union
Pacific is to perfect and perpetdate Its
control of the directory of the Illi-
nois Central. in which by law all the
corporate powers of the Illinois Cen
tral are vested. so as to have the Illi-
nois Central operated, to its irrepar-
able injury and damage, as a mere
feeder to the Union Pacific, through
its connections at Council Bluffs, Ia,
and at New orleans by means of the
Southern Pacific company. which. the
petition declares, the Union Pacific
controls absolutely.
1t is claimed that under the laws
and public policy of Illinois. neither
the Union Pacific nor the Railroad
Securities company nor the Mutual
Life Insurance company can own and
vote stock in the Illinois Central.
The amount of stock of the hi
nois Central to which the application
of the Injunction is directed is made
up of 1S6,231 shares bought by the
Union Pacific by f. II. Hartman, II.
II. Rogers. James Stillman, Kuhn,
Loeb & Co.. all of which stock, the
petition declares, is owned by the
Union Pacific, and $500 shares owned
by the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany, the whole aggregate of 2S6.7Sl
shares out of a total of $50, 400 out
standing shares In the Illinois Gem
tral, or a little over 80 per cent of the
stock
1t is believed that the attorneys for
Mr.. Hartman will tomorrow seek the
dissolution of the Injunction, and il is
not possible to state at the present
time whether the arguments will be
in time to allow Judge Ball
to make a decision before the day Of
the annual meeting.
Mr. Fish said today after the grant
ing of the temporary Injunction:
Il have all along been satisfied
with the manner in which things were
moving. / have never been obliged to
seek proxies by claiming a majority,
and | shall not do so now. No one
can foretell the issue of a contest
which is still in the future. The stock
holders at home and in Europe are
fully alive to the issue, and are send
ing in their proxies by the hundreds.

night:
81 am not at liberty on the eve OF
the annual meeting to disclose the
condition OF the proxy holding. but
make myself personally responsible
for the statement that Mr.. Fish has
been hopelessly beaten. His appeal
to the stockholders has resulted In
more than a majority declaring that
they want no more OF him and as a
last resort in the hour of his disap-
pointment he seeks to prevent one
fourth of the stock from being voted.
because he knows that II viii be voted
against him.
Moreover he stultlfles his own rec
ord, because he has In the past voted
considerable portion of this same
stock for his own election.
"He considered it valid to do so
when he could vote II for himself. We
have no fear as to the outcome of the
fight"
