Railroad Men Vote Resolutions Con.
demning Directors Who Loan
Themselves Money

Hartford, Conn.-At the meeting of
the local stockholders of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company held here,
1t was unanimously voted to have all
the proxies OF the stockholders pres
ent turned over to Charles M. Beach
of this city, who is a director of the
Illinois Central and a supporter of
S%tuyvesant Fish in the fight with the
Hartman interests. Those who had
sent their proxies to Mr.. Hartman
will cancel them.
The stockholders represented over
5000 shares. The meeting was over
w%helmingly anti-Harriman. Besides
the meeting adopted the following res
olutions:
Whereas, The present controversy
in the management of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad has brought to the knowl-
edge of the stockholders the fact that
the board of directors has delegated
it's powers in intervals to an execu-
tive committee of their number, which
in turn has conferred the same abso-
lutte power upon their chairman, which
we believe to be a grave danger to
the interests of the corporation and
of its stockholders, and
Directors Scored.
Whereas, The fact has become
known that by this concentration of
authority the officers have been able
to make large loans to themselves on
such securities and terms as they
themselves deem sufficient and are
the sole judge. And, as it is also evil
dent hat under this present system 1t
is possible for any individual delegat-
ed with these powers to make in his
own interests this railroad and its
business subordinate and contributory
to other roads in which he may have
a greater personal interest, and
Therefore, We, stockholders Of the
Illinois Central railroad, protest
against this improper and hazardous
practice, and we request the board of
directors to take such action as will
prevent these evils in the future"

sentative of the Hartman interests.

United States to Patrol
North and South Borders

Washington, Oct. 7.-Immigration or
Japanese into America is increasing
at so alarming a rate tina. it has been
determined to adopt extraordinary
measures to prevent the introduction
into the United Stares not only Of
Japanese, but other Asiatic coolie Ia
borers.
One result of the tip of Secretary
Straus has been an Increase in the
force of immigration inspectors along
the Canadian border, with a view to
controlling the flood of As,atic immi-
grafton. 1t is known that more thai
double the number of japanese have
come into the United States thus far
in the yea 1907 than came here dur.
ing the same period last year. Natu.
rally, the figures of the government
do not include the hundreds of Jap
anese who have come into the country
sur~reptiously. They Lave come across
from Canadian and Mexican borders
practically without hindrance, despite
the regulations adopted by the gov
eminent to prevent the introduction of
Japanese laborers.
For many months the government
has had immigration inspectors in
Mexico and Canada. In practically ev-
cry instance the inspectors have re-
ported that the Japanese who reach
Mexico or Canada are bound for the
United States.
that has been watered or adulterated
in any way or falsely labeled. 1t is a
violation of the law to ship skinned
milk unless it is plainly labeled as
SKINNED milk.
The receiver of the milk in st. Louis
does not violate the law II he opens
the original package of milk and sells
it. But if he sells the original pack
age unbroken he is liable unless he
has a guarantee from the shipper that
protects him from prosecution, even If
the milk is impure.
The government inspectors went
along the different railroads in ILL
nois over which milk vas shipped to
st. Louis and at the stations got the
names of milk shippers. They got into
the baggage cars with the milk ship
ments and came with 1t acros the
river into st. Louis.
They then followed the milk to the
receivers place here and secured
samples Of milk and took them to
the office of T. A. .Bucklin, city chem
list, where they were analysed. Thus
a complete chain of evidence was OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Bucklin and the health
department Of st. Louis worked with
the inspectors. 1t was upon the re-
quest Of Mr.. Bucklin that the investi-
cation was made.
1t is said that prosecutions against
at least twenty milk shippers will be
begun.

Inquiries in the Hawaiian Islands
have revealed organizations whose
business it is to procure Japanese
laborers to work in The United States.
They not only provide the means, but
pave the way by which Japanese may
easily obtain entrance into this coun-
try through Canada ard Mexico.
1t is this sort Of proposition the gov
eminent proposes to combat. In the
appointment of what practically con
stitutes a patrol guard of the north
ern and southern borders of the coun-
try, Secretary Straus hopes to re-
duce the number of Asiatics. who
daily are coming across the borders in
great and increasing numbers.
Returns from the Car adian immigra-
ton office show that $3.50 Asiatics
were landed at the british Columbian
ports of Victoria ard Vancouver be-
tween Jan. 1 and Sept. IS, 1907. OF
this large number 2,S72 were Hindoos
and ALL were Japanese, most of the
latter reaching Canada from Honolulu.
The remaining 603 were Chinese who
paid admission fee of 800 for the
privilege of landing in Canada.
The field of labor in that section Of
Canada is limited and the investiga.
lions of the United States immigra-
ton inspectors have shown that most
of the Japanese ard Chinese expect
ultimately to go into the United States.

 This report is to the effect that one of the two men who operated the game discovered last October that Walker had suffered losses through his ventures in stock speculation. The pretended wire tapper then went to New Britain and unfolded to Walker. 1t Is said, the usual scheme of tap- ping the race wires to get the name of the winning horse and then beat ing the pool rooms by betting on the horse before the pool room re- ceived the name of the winner, It is said Walker came to New York with the man and was taken to a corridor in the Western Union build- ing and there introduced to an aSso- be employed by the Western Union and able to withhold reports of the races from the pool rooms.
 As a result Walker is said to have been taken to a pretended pool room, where he and the. two conspirators acting as his agents, bet and lost S110 00e Walker was convinced by the conspirators that the loss was due to his own mistake in taking the name of the winning horse and is said to have consented to try it again He ing to the report, but on the next trial, lost $266.e00 including his win nings The swindlers then disap- neared
