When Harvey Harriet, young
farmer of north OF the city, took his
first drink Sunday morning, little
did he think that before the mad
rampage was ended that he would
have attempted crimes.
After young Harriet had become
well 'soused" he imagined himself
an engineer on a railroad leading to
the moon. lie stumbled Ids way to
the Erie yards and was much de-
lighted upon finding an engine
standing alone on side track. He
boarded the cab and drove the fire
man out. He was making vain effort
to pull the heavy reverse lever when
an Erie detective happened along
and his happy dream ended. Had
young Harriet been successful in
throwing the reverse and opening
the throttle, the engine would have
sped out on the main track and
would undoubtedly have collided
with No 16. which was about due.
p Harriet was placed under arrest
by detective Joe lIlostetter who
lodged charge of intoxication and
trespassing against him. In Mayors
court this morning he pleaded guilty
to both choarges and was fined $40.
He was unable to pay and was or
dered committed.

HARTMAN WINS FROM FISH.
Final Victory eliminated in EleC-
ton of Hartman Directors.

tiOh ol hartman directors.
Chicago. March 2.-As a result
of the recent decision of Judge Far
lin O. Ball, allowing the voting Of
proxies controlled by E H Harri-
man, the latter has won a complete
victory over Stuyvesant Fish in the
long battle for the control of the
Illinois Central railroad, which cul-
inmates today in the adjourned an
ual meeting of the stockholders of
the company.
This turn of affairs means that at
today's meeting the Hartman can
didates for directors will be seated
that Mr.. Fish will no longer have a
dominating influence in the affairs
of the company, and that later, when
the officers of the road are chosen,
J, T. Harahan will be continued as
president
In the Illinois Central meetings in
the last six months the Union Pacific
party has ben restrained by tempor-
ary injunction from voting one-third
of the S95, 0,000 capital stock of
the company which it held With
this stock excluded Stuyvesant Fish
and his associates had chance
They showed at all the recent meet
ings as much stock as was voted for
the Hartman faction, the corpora
tion's holdings excluded.
Stuyvesant Fish, former president
of the Illinois Central, filed a bill
Oct IA, 1907, asking that 2S6,231
shares of Illinois Central stock
owned by the Union Pacific Railroad
Co., the Railroad Securities Co., and
New York be enjoined from voting
at the annual meeting of the railway
campany, set for Oct. 16. The mat
ter was taken up before Master in
Cancery Browning, who recommend
ed the temporary injunction as ask
ed in the bill. This recommendation
was acted upon by Judge Ball, WAC
issued a temporary restraining Or
der.
Mr.. Fish was joined in his suit by
former Senator George F. Edmunds
of Vermont John A. Kasson, ex-
minister to Australia, and by Will
liam H. Embrich.
The bill stated that the defend
ants held a controlling part of the
outstanding stock of the railroad
company. Mr.. Fish averred that the
board of directors was dominated by
Edward H. Hartman, and said that
the voting of this stock should not
be allowed, as it would injury the
interests of himself and other stock
holders.
On Nov 25 the complaints dis
missed their bill in so far as it re-
lated to the 5000 shares of stock
held by the Mutual Life Insurance
! Co The defendants then presented
motion to dissolve the temporary
| injunction.
! On February 20 Judge Ball decid-
/ ed in favor of Hartman, upholding
! the right of corporation to hold
stock of competing corporation.
