OFF THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS
Stuyvesant Fish No Longer
Connected With Illinois y
Central.
HARTMAN HOLDS THE FORT
ANNUAL MEETING
HELD AFTER STRUGGLE.

Chicago, March 3.-The long struggle
for control of the Illinois Central rail-
road was ended. at least temporarily
today, when the official adjourned an
nual meeting of stockholders was held
and four directors were elected. With
only formal protests recorded by the
interests headed by Stuyvesant, Fish,
which have been opposing the admin
istratton of the road, z. H. Hartman
and John Jacob Aston were reelected
TO the board; A. G. Hackstaff. who has
been serving as a director since the
death of John c. yelling, was chosen
to fill the unexpired term, and Joseph
F. Titus, assistant to President Hara-
han, was elected to succeed Stuyvesant
Fish upon the directorate. Mr.. Titus.
however, is to serve only a few weeks,
President Harahan announcing to the
stockholders that ]. Ogden Armour of
Chicago will be chosen to the board
as soon as the stock owned by Mr..
Armour can be transferred to his ac-
count on the books. thus making him
a stakeholder of record.
Fish Not Present.
Mr.. Fish was not present at the
meeting, and only a few of his allies
were there to watch his interests.
Neither were the bulk of the proxies
held by Mr.. Fish presented to the
proxy committee. The report of that
body showed that 5S4, 6SS shares out of
total of 950.400 outstanding were en-
titled to be voted. Of those. 5S1, 456
were held by President Harahan.
The comparatively small representa-
ton of stock at the meeting had one
effect which was a bit disappointing
to the administration forces. With
less than two-thirdS of the outstand-
| ing stock voting, it was found impOs-
sible to ratify legally the action of
the board of directors in agreeing to
purchase two small branch lines, the
Kensington & Eastern and the Mem
Dhis & State Line railroads.
Only 5a3,o46 Shares Voted.
The charter of the railroad re
quires that 632,60O shares shall be
voted in favor of any proposition look
ing TO the purchase of other railways.
Today only 5S3,046 were recorded in ia
vor of the plan to purchase the two
lines III question.
The Kensington & Eastern runs from
Kensington, ILL.,, to Hammond, Ind.
acting as a connecting link between
the Illinois Central and various roads.

/
properties, it was stated by President
| Harahan, have been constructed with
funds furnished by the Illinois Central.
He added that the projects were begun
during the administration of Mr.. Fish
In addition to electing the directors,

of certain terminal properties in New
Orleans and Memphis. valued in the

Statement by Fish.
Mr. Fish said tonight:
81 refrained from taking any part in
| the meeting, because | deemed it best
| for those stockholders whose proxies
I hold that neither they nor I be in
any manner bound by anything done at
! the meeting. Those who have left their
| proxies in my hands. vested me with
! discretion to act for them as to their
shares as l might act for my own"

Crowd Kept Back by Police.

A squadron of mounted police press
ed their horses back and forth along
the curb line, in a vain endeavor to
confine the throng to the sidewalks.
and the unmounted police finally were
compelled to abandon the attempt to
keep traffic moving and confine their
efforts to maintaining a clear pathway
for the wedding party and guests. The
line of equipages and motor cars ex-
tended down Broadway and into the
side streets for a long distance, and
as the hour of noon approached many
of the guests left their vehicles, and.
with the assistance of the police, made
their way through the jam of sidewalk
spectators to the church, the beauti-
full costumes of the women contrasting
sharply with the palmer garb of the
close-pressing throngs. When the cere-
mony was over, hundreds of women in
their eagerness to catch a glimpse of
the wedding party forced their way
past the lines of police and disregard
ed the menace Of the powerful motor
cars which slowly and haltingly made
their way along.

Beautiful Decorations.

The interior of the beautiful church
was superbly decorated with a mass
of palms and other green's and cut
flowers in profusion, the distinctive
feature of the scheme being a number
of beautiful floral arches thrown across
the center aisle up which the wedding
party passed
A pretty feature of the ceremony was
the novel musical program. In addf-
ton to the choral numbers and the
solos, there were pieces by the organ.

Scandal of First Order.

Your honorable body knows that
pOOlselling and bOOkmaking at race
tracks are not prevented by appro-
pirate laws as the constitution re
quires. but flourish substantially unre-
stricted under what amounts to legal
protection. This is a scandal of the
first order and a disgrace to the state.
The bills are not aimed at racing or
at race tracks or at property; they
are aimed at public gambling, prohib-
tied by the constitution, condemned by
the moral sense of the people, ire
spective of creed and conceded to be
the prolific source of poverty and
crime.
4 sincerely trust that nothing will
divert your attention from this main
issue and that the legislature. acting
in obedience TO constitutional provision,
will free us from a curse of which no
just defense is possible
Without comment, the message was
laid on the table.

BotUers to the Front.

The Daily News prints today the
reply of Hon. E. ]. Bowers to the re-
cent published statements of Hon. E
NJ. Barber, and the address of Mr.
Bowers is given in full, without
abridgement.
The Daily News was the only pa
per in the district to print the state
ment of Mr.. Barber in its entirety,
and subscribers who saved that num-
Der of the paper can now compare the
two addresses and draw their own
conclusions.
Mr. Barber endeavored to substan-
tiate the claim that Mr.. Bowers, as
the representative of this district in
congress, made special efforts to sub
serve the Interests of the Gulf and
Ship Island Railroad, and to the detri
ment of his constituents.
Mr.. Bowers denies the implication
and censures Mr.. Barber for. having
| garbled the records in an effort to
| place him in II false light before the
people of the Sixth Congressional dis
trict.
The address is well worth reading
and those who have read the pub
lished statement of Mr.. Barber owe
it to Mr.. Bowers to give his side Of
the matter a respectful hearing.

Editors, as a rule, are not financiers,
but editors are supposed to know

they do not know everything.
1t naturally follows then that wise

himself by resort to expert testi-
mony or opinion when any question of
public moment arises on which that
editor believes himself to need sug-
gestions of right conclusion.
In the past, large questions have
arisen and in the main they have
been wisely and properly disposed of
in the Hattiesburg spirit. No ques-
ton of recens date has, in our opinion,
possessed the importance of that one

we have been pleased to learn that ii
is the opinion of men connected with
other banking interests here that the
merger has everything to commend

we are assured, is largely held by the
thinking men of the town in all lines.

plane rudders were absolutely incap-
able of righting the machine when
turned in that manner. AS the gaso-
line tank was pierced when the ma
chine fell to the ground there was
great danger that some person might
come to near with a lighted cigar or
cigarette and add an explosion to the
disaster. Soldiers, however, kept the
crowd at safe distance. Lieutenant
Selfridge was expecting his mother,
who lives in San Francisco, to arrive
in Washington this month. He is a
nephew of Admiral Selfridge and has
brother who is an officer in the
navy.
Wright yesterday replaced the pro-
cilers which he had been using with
another pair, the blades of which
were six inches longer. They were
used for the first time in today's dis.
astrous flight. Many who witnessed
the flight are of the belief that the
change OF propellers caused the aeci-
dent. An examination of the broken
blade showed that it snapped off at
point one-fourth distance from the
hub. Deep indentation in the broken
piece indicated it had struck some
other part of the aeroplane. Among
the eye witnesses were Charles R.
Flint Of New York, the international
representative of the Wright broth
ers. Flint said tonight that the Fort
Myer flights would be resumed as
soon as Wright recovered and the
machine was repaired.
