SECRETARY OF WAR
APPEARS FOR ROAD
DICKINSON SECURED TAFT,s
PROMISE TO PERMIT HIM TO
ACT IN THIS CASE BEFORE EN-.
TERlNG THE CABINET.

General Stead prefaced his argument
before the judges of the supreme
court in a suit to compel the Illinois
Central to account for per cent of
It's gross receipts from charter lines,
here today, with a statement of the
case by which the state of Illinois
seeks to recover approximately $40
100000 from the railroad.
Road Compared to Judas.
The attorney general showed the
state had given the company 2,595, 900
acres of land as right of way and he
claimed this had been sold by the
road for $30,00O,000, which was more
tnan sufficient to build the road
The claim now made by the Illi-
nols Central said Stead, "that it
owes the state nothing because of this
land grant, is an example of ingrati-
tude that has no parallel since the
time of Judas Iscariot."
Contract Violated State Claims.
The charter granted the railroad,
he claimed. was an absolute contract
by which the state was to receive not
less than Z per cent of the gross re-
celpts and the company was to furnish
the state detailed accounts of the re-
ceipts since 1877. This accounting was
not kept satisfactorily to the state,
he said. The lines of the company
had been extended until now there
were 4,S77 miles and upon all this
mileage the state claims a pro rata
share.
Another point made in the counsel
Tor the state was that in the matter
of bridge earnings at Cairo and Du-
buque the state is entitled to at least
S7,OOO,000 more than it has received
The question Of profit from dining
car service was also touched on.
War Secretary Represents Road.
Secretary of War Dickinson was in
court, prepared to present his argu-
ment for the Illinois Central road, of
which he was general counsel when
the suit was begun. When he was
appointed to the presidents cabinet 1t
was with the understanding that he
could represent the railroad in this
case when 1t came up for adjudication
IN the supreme court. Mr. Dickinson
would not discuss politics.
