FISH LOSES FIGHT
Judge Dissolves Injunction Preventing
Hartman Interests From Voting
Certain Shares of Stock

Chicago, February 20.-Judge Ball
Of the superior court today Dissolved
the injunction secured last October
by Stuyvesant Fish by virtue of which
the Hartman interest were restrained
from voting 281 ,2G1 shares of the
capital stock of the Illinois Central
Railroad at the annual meeting of
the company. The theory on which
counsel for Mr.. Fish based their ar
guments in support Of the Injunction
that 1t was contrary to the laws
and public policy Of the state of Illi-
nOis to allow foreign corporations to
own and vote the stock Of domestic
corporations was denied by the court.
Under the ruling of the court the
previously enjoined stock which is
held by the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and by the railroad secur1-
ties company of New Jersey can be
voted at the annual meeting Of the
Illinois Central which is to be held
In this city on March 2.
There is no appeal from the de-
cision handed down today by Judge
Ball, but it is considered probable
that Mr.. Fish will take further legal
steps to regain possession Of the IL
llnOlS central. Judge Il. II. Farrar,
of New Orleans, who has acted as
leading counsel for Mr.. Fish through
out the controversy, said today after
the rendering of the decision that the
case will now be tried on it's merits.
None Of the principals in the case
were in court, both Mr.. Fish and Mr..
Hartman being in New York. Presi-
dent Harahan, of the Illinois Central,
came in while the decision was being
read. When the conclusion had been
reached he said:
MY head is too full of that decision
to allow me to say anything, but to
say that I am highly pleased, and
more than highly pleased, is putting
it mildly"
Judge Ball, who is of a somewhat
frail physique, turned over to his son,
the task of reading the decision which
contained almost ten thousand words.

90 PERSONS INJURED IN RIOT.
Trouble Started by 1000 Foreigners
Marching to City Hall to Demand
Work-Fourteen of the Paraders
Arrested.

Philadelphia, February 20.-The
marching of nearly 1000 foreigners
upon the city hall where they said
they intended to make demands upon
Mayor Reyburn for work, precipitated
in a riot in Broad street, in the heart
of the city, late this afternoon in
which twenty persons were injured be-
fore the police, by picturesque and
heroic methods, dispersed the march
ers and arrested fourteen Of them.
The men, most of whom were Ita-
lians and Poles, marched from the
foreign settlement in the lower Sec
tion of the city. They intended to call
on the mayor as a preliminary to a
meeting which they intended to hold in
a hall tonight. The leaders and a
score of others in the line carried red
flags having a black border. When
they reached Broad street, a few
blocks below the city hall, several
wagons attempted to pass through
the line and the drivers were drag
ged from their seats by the marchers
and badly beaten.
Policemen ran to the rescue of the
drivers and riot call was sent in.
The motor bicycle police were sent
flying through the center Of the city
and rounded up the entire mounted
polices squad-the big reserve street
