A WHITE FLAG
SUIT TO PREVENT U. p. FROM

MISSED.
TERMS OF DIRECTORS
New in Office, viii Expire Before An
Appeal Can Be Taken to the
Court of the Last
Resort

New York, Feb "a Stuyvesant
| Fish has given up his flgnt against
| Il H.Harriman for the control of the
| Illinois Central. He announced to
day that the suit In Judge Balls court
| in Chicago, to prevent the voting OF
Illinois Central stock held by Harri.
man corporations, would be dis
missed.
Mr.. Fish asserts that he submits to,
but does not acquiesce in the ruling
Of Judge Ball dismissing the injunc,
ton against the voting of the Harri-
man control in the shares. He adds
a few remarks to bis belief that the
continued control of the Illinois Cen
trail by Hartman will yield no good
to the stockholders Of tne road or to
the state Of Illinois. In regard to the
ruling of Judge Ball, Mr.. Fish says
He has declared that foreign rail-
road corporations can do in Illinois
what domestic corporations are pro
hibited from doing that one foreign
corporation can hold stock in parallel
and competing lines of railroad com
panies created by the laws of Illinois
and that no stockholder of any oil
these companies can complain OF such
holdings until they are actually usedI
the corporations.
THE history of many of the great
corporations of the country shows
that the minority ttockhoder has
thus far permitted the wizard of high
finance TO rob hiu with impunity aud
case. to suppress competition and 10
d monopoly by the- very
means which Judge Ball says is legal
In Illinois"
Outlining his reasons for giving up
the fight Mr.. Fish saws;
"The terms of the directors now to
be elected will expire before an ap
peal can be prosecuted to the court of
last resort. In the meanwhile the
Union Pacific will have filled the
whole Illinois Central board with
creatures of its own selection. 1t
would take three years more to put !
and end to the Union Pacific domina-
ion.
Under any circumstances a fina
lecision in our favor would be cir
by the transfer of stock
heretofore enjoined to friends OF the
Jnion Pacific, eleven of which trans
ers would have to be attacked by ad-
Iitional legislation. in which the proof

now being discussed all over the state
and sentiment is rapidly crystalizing in
favor OF the repeal of the gambling
laws. The next legislature may not
abolish the evil but there is sure to be

will rid the state of this curse. ...

has been begun by the International

and the first address to be made in Elko
on this subject will be made at Leonard

who has charge of the reform work on
this coast.
