Corts|you Issues Statement Upon
 His Position
FALSE REPORTS SENT OUT
Secretary Declares He Is Not Seeking Any Office and His Friends Are Not Working To Get One
 For Him.

Washington, December r.-secretary Cortelyou in signed statement given out tonight pronounces as unqualifiedly false the current rumors of undue politi- cal activity of his friends in forwarding a movement in his interest. The sec retary declares that neither he nor his friends have used the influence in be- half of any candidate for the presidency and that he has not been a candidate people. He adds that if he should here after decide to be candidate for any office he will say so frankly. The state ment follows:
 Washington, December r, 1907.
 q do not know that l am called upon to make a statement at this time, but in view of the previous rumors in circula- friends of mine In my interest I will say that I have not been candidate for anything but the confidence of the peo- pie in my discharge of duties as secretary of the treasury. sI have not in person sought, nor have the friends whose names have been mentioned in this connection, sought to influence political movements in my interest l have not, nor have they, used any interest, directly or in- directly, to secure political support for or against any candidate for the presidency and accusations that such has been done are unQualifiedly false. In no office, in no one of three departments with which l have been connected, have l authorized or permitted employees to attempt to influence any such movements, nor shall 1 do so. In common with citizens, 1 have decided views as to policies and as to candidates, but l shall abstain from expressing them until l believe 1t Is proper for me to do so. Upon this statement am entirely content to leave the people to draw their own conclusions regarding such rumors as those te which 1 have referred. If in the future 1 shall decide to be a candidate for any office 1 shall be prepared to say so frankly and state the grounds upon which l ask for office. In the meantime l shall try, as I have tried in the past, to conduct the treasury department for the benefit of the people of the whole country and absolutely without regard to whether any action I may take in the line of my duty may adversely affect my principal or political welfare.

RUSSIAN WOMAN IS GREAT SWINDLER
AFTER LONG SERIES OF FRAUD ULENT ACTS SHE IS ARRESTED, BUT PROMPTLY JUMPS HER BAIL.

St. Petersburg, December 17.-A sensd ton has been caused in this city by the flight of Olga Stein, a Russian woman who has successfully conducted q series of swlndles on a large scale. She was be- ing tried on charges of fraud and swind- ling and she Jumped her bail yes- terday afternoon when she saw the trial going against her. She was charged specifically with having defrauded certain persons of s300,O00 and her operations ex- tend over long period.
 Mrs. Stein moved in good society and was reported to be millionaire. She se- cured large loans on the pretense of the possession of real estate In St. Petersburg. She would even stoop, however to prac- ticlng methods of petty swindling upon tradesmen and servants. It is believed she obtained In all several million rubles. The heavy losers by her operations are silent because of the fear of ridicule She enjoyed influential protection by which she long escaped prosecution and she succeeded in intimidating the local news papers from publishing her.

for by current revenues and as all ex- penditures for the current year have been authorized, the 60th Congress in taking into account a possible decrease of reve- nues, considers only the 12 months to follow June 30. 1907. It is the opinion of some of the members of the appropriation ms committed among them Chairman Taw- ney and Representative Keller of Ohio. that the indicated decrease will continue during the period. Hence the closest scrtiuy will be given to all measures proposing appropriations of any kind and new authorizations, prominent among them in bills thus far introduced being public buildings, will be subjected to more than ordinary consideration.
 'The situation as 1t presents itself" |" said MT. Keller, may mean after we get down to business. that not single bill calling for the erection of a public building will be favorably reported by the committee"
 Four general bills, the legislative, the District of Columbia. the pensions and the notifications, were placed in the hands of subcommittee today and will be worked on by them during the holi- day recess.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL FIGHT PROLONGED Another Delay Will Be Asked
 At Today's Meeting PROXIES ARE NOT READY Both Sides of the Fish Hartman Con- troversy Will Ask For Postpone
 ment of the Stockholders'
 Meeting Set ForToday.
PROXIES ARE NOT READY

Chicago, December 17-Whether the ad journed annual meeting of the Illinois Central stockholders shall proceed with the business before it upon being called to order at noon tomorrow or shall be adjourned to a future time, will be the subject of an eleventh hour decision. Consideration of the matter which re- suited this afternoon in failure of the opposing attorneys to agree upon the ac- ton to be taken will be taken up again tomorrow before Judge Ball in the supe- rior court. It is expected that the court will be asked to set date for the hold ing of the election.
 At the conference this afternoon, Edgar H. Farrar of counsel for Stuyvesant Fish, objected to the meeting proceeding at this time. He contended that the meeting when called must be adjourned because of internal business" He calle attention to the fact that the proxy com mittee would not be able to report for three days on the proxies eligible to vote. by which time, he argued, Judge Ball might be ready with his opinion as to the status of the enjoned stock of the Union racine rallrOaQ ana LIe ftdllTOdu OcCuIi- ties company. Then in his opinion the meeting could go on.
 Attorney J. J. Herrick, representing the interests of E. H. Hartman, suggested that Judge Ball might set a date for the meeting. He said that he and his asso- ciates expected to make an extended ar gument in reply to that of Attorney Farrar, and expressed the opinion that the object of the meeting would be de- feated if 1t were to proceed at this time. Judge Ball questioned his own right to control the meeting but was assured by attorneys that inasnsdSs as he Had issued the injunction restraining the voting of the stock in question. In their opinion he had jurisdiction in the matter of fixing the date. Judge Ball then said that he would take sthe Inatteg up with the attorneys tomorrow. p~-sss
 The stockholders will open their session as a matter of course. William Nelson Cromwell arrived from New York today and E. H. Hartman, John Jacob Aston, Robert w. Goelet and John W. Auchin- closs are expected to arrive tomorrow

Anythina To Get Proxies.

Chicago, December 1.-The Record Herald today says: So eager have Ed ward H. Hartman and his friends been to secure proxies to assist them in re- taning possession of the Illinois Central railroad that they have not hesitated, it is said, to invade the homes of some of the relatives of Stuyvesant Fish and to importune even the women members to turn against him.
 According to MT. Fish, his aged mother in-law residing in New York and his Sis ter have had sung to them by agents of Hartman the beauties and the benefits to be derived from corporate control by the Napoleon" of the railway world.
 This is only one of many interesting and amusing incidents of the remarkable battle for proxies which will close to- morrow when the annual meeting of the Illinois Central Railroad company will again convene in Chicago.
 At a recent church bazar held in Chi cago, the wife of one of the most promi- nent Illinois Central officials, it is said spent her evening seeking out those who were known to have Illinois Central stock and urging them to give her a proxy for the Hartman interests. Sev- eral men are said to have capitulated on the spot.

nized as in itself wrongful and illegal. As to the contention that to restrain the publication of name on the un- fair list would have an influence upon the constitutional rights of the defend- ants and be an assault upon the freedom of the press and that plaintiffs redress, If at all was by action for libel and that equity would not enjoin publication of the libel Justice Gould continued?
 "All this would have merit if the act of the defendants in making such pub lications stood alone, unconnected with other conducts both preceding and fol- lowing 1t. But 1t Is not an isolated fact; i; it is an act in conspiracy to destroy plantiffs business"
 The decision quotes from the records in contravention of the federation's claim that 1t Is a federation of organizations and has no individual membership. ? This conspiracy originated. the court said, in the action by the Metal Polish- CTS, local No 13. in St. Louis in the fall of the year, 1906, body federated with the American Federation of Labor, through the International Polishers union. When this body acted it did not use the term boycott" but the more euphonistic terms of unfair and i've don't patronize."
 But the court holds that whatever the terms was the boycott was t2e efect intended, and fin fact. that the terms mean the leading procedure of the federa- ton does not seem doubtful"
 The cage has attracted widespread at- tention and todays decision has been awaited with great interest by. labor and business interest throughout the country.
 Gompers Makes No Comment.
 New York, December H-Samuel Gom- pers of the American Federation of La- bor, who is in this city attending the an- nual meeting of the National Civic Fed eration. declined to make any comment on the action of the court in granting temporary injunction against the fed oration on motion of the Buck Stove and Range company He said he would take time to consider the matter and to con- fer with some of his associates before deciding upon what further action may be taken by the federation.
