Ing of the Illinois Central railroad
which had previously been continued
from Tune to time was set for March q
Inc bill originally filed by Mr.. Fish
was based on the theory that the pub
nc policy act of Illinois prohibits for
elgn corporations from holding and
voting stock in Illinois corporations
save in certain exceptions allowed by
statute
The compliments contend that the
fact that certain violations are allow
ed by statute proved that the public
policy act should hold good in this
instance.
The railroad securities company Of
New Jersey. which is holding and in
vestment company was characterized
by Judge E. H. Farrar, counsel for Mr..
Fish, in the Injunction proceedings. as
a "mongref' corporation. The company
controls $4,000 shares of Illinois Central
STOCK. The remainder Of the stock en-
Joined is owned by the Union Pacific
Railway company. It was shown DUR
Ing the arguments that much of this
stock stood in the names of clerks en-
ployed by Kuhn, Loeb & Co, of New
York While the stock involved is but
1876 of the total issue of $780, 900 shares
it was declared by counsel at the hear
ing before Judge Ball to be a controll-
Ing interest. Counsel for Mr. Hartman
contended that in previous annual
meetings, Mr.. Fish had reaped the ben
ef1t or these votes and that IL such vot-
ing was illegal he was aware of it. and
should not be allowed to enjoin them
from being voted by other people.
The progress of the case has heep
watched with great interest in financial
circles and the decision of Judge Bali
today will have widespread effect up
on corporations holding stock in nit
nois corporations.
During the hearing on the Injunction,
many aff1davits were filed on each side
accusing the other of illegal acts, and
with seeking control of the Illinois Cen
own ends. In behalf of Mr. Hartman
afhdavits were filed by Edward H Har-
rlman, Robert w. Goelet, Charles A.
Peabody. Louis C. Fritch, Cornelius
Vanderbilt. Joseph F. Titus, John w.
Auchincloss and others.
The leading affidavits for Mr.. Fish
were made by Mr.. Fish himself and
George F. Edmonds.
Not Ready. to Talk.
New York. Feb. 20.-E. H. Harri-
man declined today to comment on
the decision Of the Illinois Central
railway case until he had time to read
the decision in full: ST hope it is so
clear cut as to remove all doubt" he
said.
Case Cannot Be Appealed.
Chicago, Feb. 2o.-The attorneys
for Mr.. Fish agreed that the opinion
Of Judge Ball could not be appealed
from.
''It is a non-appealable order and
Attorney Farrar, between puffs from
a big Havana. the merits Of the case
must now be tried, decree entered
and then we will be able to take an
appeal"
will you go ahead to try the mer-
it's of the case ?" was asked
yes, replied Attorney Farrer.
"When?"
"As soon as the matter is reached.
There are issues raised in this pro-
ceeding which can be heard at any
time"

Women can really love truly but
