by President Harahan to stockholders Of
the Illinois Central early In the week. In
regard 20 borrowings from the Illinois
Central. he says that Mr. Hartman and
his feIlow-directors had elected him pres
ident three successive times after full
knowledge Of che transactions, and states
that other directors Of the company. par
ticularly Mr.. Hartman and Charles A.
Peabody. had borrowed large sums OF
money from the company-Mr. Hartman
on several occasions. and in very large
sums.
In explaining the loans Of the com
pany's money 20 himself Messrs. Harri-
man and Peabody, and other directors,
Mr.. Fish said that the company had
often been in the possession OF surplus
funds which it was advisable to put out

to lose the interest on the money.

explaining his statement, In the aggre-
gate the loans % him amounted to many
millions Most Of them were made in the
earlier years of his connection with the

ance company moneys"
Main Question Avoided
Mr. Fish insists that the principal mat
ter at issue is whether the Illinois Cen
tral is TO become a subordinate part Of
the Union Pacific system. He notes that
this question was seriously avoided in
President Harahans reply to his request
for proxies.
BY way of proving the charge previo, sly

Mr. Fish showed report Of the date

20 him to do so.

Owing to the daath of Captain Bridges

there were only three sales days, no
