for at the meeting. Thus the vice.
president will exceed in importance
the president OF the railroad, d sltua.
ton unprecedented in the history OF
Americana railroading.
From persons close to the Illinois
Ceatral authorities it was learned
that the directors were seriously
considering plan to GUST Harahan
|eutirely, but refrained from doing SO
because it was not regarded as an
|expedient move. 1t was determined
ito leave him nominally at the head
|of the road, but to sheer him OF all
power. The reason for such action
has not been disclosed officially, but
I for several months there has been
talk of dissatisfaction with the meth
DDS used by Harahan in the conduct
of the railroads affairs.
Recently representatives of New
Work firm of accountants were sent
to Chicago with instructions from
Charles A. Peabody, who succeeded
E. Fl. Hartman as, leader in the iii
nois Central, to make thorough in,
vestigation of the railroads earnings
and expenses. The reason for the
employment of the accountants was
reported to be that certain errors
were discovered in the statements OF
the railroads expenses which were
forwarded to New York.
In railway circles the general un-
derstan,iing is that FYarahan, al
though in charge Of traffic, will have
practically nothing to do. The traf.

ing traffic, the origin of traffic and
tao fixing Of rates. John G. Stubs
traffic director of the Union Pacific,
1t i reported. was brought into the
Illinois Central to supervise traffic.
and it is understood he will continue
in that capacity. Railroad men say
it takes lifetime to master the de
tails OF so responsible position and
that. as Harahan has had experience
only in the operating field. it will not
be expected that he should take an
important part in solving trairic prob
lens for the Illinois Central, especial
ly because he lacks the experience
to do so.
In Harahan's statement concerning
the elevation of Park. no mentifsl
was made, of the railroads account
ing department. in which, it is ln,
derstood, arose tie trouble that led
to an outside examination. The &C

put the necessity into operation.
In order to make recommendation

With wife threatening to kill hus-

residents of Third street north in the

an exciting squable last night when
Mr.. and Mrs. Begore, sometimes called
Snyder, were having a dispute and were
arrested by the police in the midst
Of hair pulling and dish throwing and
hustled off to the station.
This morning when both were ar
raigned before the police magistrate,
they were still belligerent and Begore
threatened to bring suit against the
city for false Imprisonment. The by
ISLANDERS expected every minute to hear
the man heavily fined for contempt of
court from the impudent retorrs he
fired at the magistrate.
In court Mr.. and Mrs. Begore were
still enraged at each other and were
