FISH LIEUTENANT BACK
Winthrop T.. Scarritt Tells Hoo He
Got FOREIGN [. {. PrOTies.

Winthrop E. Scarritt. formerly president of the
Automobile Club Of America. and now one of Stuy-
vesant FTsh's lieutenants in the Illinois Central
fight between the Fish and Hartman interests, ar
rived here yesterday the Cunard liner Lusi-
tania
Mr.. Scarritt sailed abroad the LQcania on
November g. and the same steamer was Alexan-
der G. Hackstaf representing the Hartman end
of the struggle. Mr. Scarritt said yesterday:
THE bulk of the holdings of Illinois Central stock
abroad is in Holland and England l reached Lon
don on November 16. and went to call on Lord
Rothschild, who is large stockholdef- found
that he friendly toward Mr.. Fish. and he aided
materially in my work of gathering proxies
Lord RothschiId characterized Mr. Fish d most
honest and able man
Il arrived in London at l p. m. November 16
and by D. NJ had secured proxies for $500 shares
from Hendrfck Loefler. I found disagreeable
impression prevailed in some quarters against Mr..
Fish 1 many of the shareholders a
letter written by Mr.. Fish explaining fully his
position. and the proxies in quickly for him.
I challenged Mr.. Hackstaff debate, but he de-
clined l succeeded in getting go per cent of the
English shareholders to send in proxies in favor
Of Mr Fish
THE prestige 1 got through Lord Rothschild 5
proxy helped greatly. l visited the English
Association of American Bond and Share Holders.
Ltd, and got all the proxies they had Some OF
the people from whom got proxies were J. S. Nor
gan & Co. Raln Brothers, bankers; Alfred and
Edwin Tates, the sugar firm Hendrick Loeffier
and large Brooks estate in Huddersfield.
In Holland got the proxies of pool formed to
hold Illinois Central stock, composed of the two
firms of Boissevain Brothers and Taxeira de Mat
tos Brothers. These two firms held S1,61S shares
of the stock and I obtained proxies for them all
From the Otter-KnoH Orphan Asylum, in Amster-
dam. I got proxies thousand shares l was
obliged to hurry my work to forward proxies TO
Chicago in time for meeting Of the Illinois Cen
tral directors, held there December IS and ad-
journed March ,.
The thing l noticed much as any other in the
attitude of British investors toward American Sc
curites their lack of confidence in the meth
DDS and policies of American corporate. manage
ment, and a general fear. in view of past expert
ences. as TO what fraud might be perpetrated
For this reason they discriminate against American
securities and put their money into all sorts OF
ventures in other parts of the world
Mr. Scarritt who was injured in baIIoon acci-
dent on December Z, is. still obliged 10 walk on
crutches because of a broken ankle. He made an
ascension in the balloon of Charles Rolls, and IN
attempting TO land Chelmsford, near London,
the basket struck the ground with violence.
