Iand exhaustive. The decision of Judge Ball today was on the motion Co dis. miss the injunction. During these ar guments tho annual meeting of tho H. linois Central Railway which had pre- viously been continued from time to |time was set for March 2.
 The bills originally filed by MT. Fish was based upon the theory that the public policy act Of Illinois corporations have in certain excep. tions allowed by statute.
 The complainants contend that the fact that no violation are allow cd by statutes. proved that the pub lie policy act should hold good in this instance.
 The Railroad Securities Company of New Jersey, which is a holding and investment company. was char acterized by Judge E. H. Farrar, counsel for MT. Fish in the injunc. ton proceedings, as "mongrel cor poration." This company, controls 8o.000 shares of Illinois Centra! stock. The remainder Of the stock enjoined is owned by the Union Pa cifc Railway Company. It was shown during the arguments that much of this stock stood in the names of clerks employed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,, of New York. While tho stock involved is but 2s.6 of the total issue of 950,0O0 shares. it was declared by counsel at the hear ing before Judge Ball to be a con. trolling interest.
 Counsel for Mir. Hartman COL tended that ill previous annnal meet ings MT. Fish had reaped the benefit of these votes and that if such vot- ing was illegal he was aware of it., and should not be allowed to enioin it from being voted by other peo- pie. The progress of the suit has been watched with great interest in finan- cial circles and the decision of Judge Ball today will have a wide spread effect upon corporations holding stock In the Illinois Central.
 During the hearing on the in- junction, many affidavits were filed on each side accusing the other of illegal acts and with seeking con- trol of the Illinois Central Railroad Company to further the'r own ends. In behalf of MT. Hartman affidavits were filed by Edward H. Hartman, Robert Goe'et, Charles A. Peabody, Louis c. Fritch, Cornelius Wander bilt, Joseph F. Titus, John W. Auchincloss and others.
