Lively Meeting Of Stockholders, Witt
Sherlffs Busy Serving Subpoenas
Edgar, Holding SO Shares,
Starts Alleges Craft.

Chicago. Oct. Observation-Disclosures of the
Illinois Central Railroad Co. had a
lively hour and half at their annual
meeting today owing to the presence
of Attorney Maxwell Edgar who held
so shares of the 7S4,S66 shares of stock
represented. Mr.. Edgar was accom-
panied by two deputy sheriffs, who
added to the confusion by serving
subpoenas on various directors dur
ing every lull in the meeting. The
subpoenaS were in d suit for SIC, 000, 600
damages, which Mr.. Edgar consti-
tutirg himself an attorney for the
road, started in the circuit court to-
day. The defendants to the suit are
the directors of the road, whom Mr.
Edgar seeks to hold responsible for
alleged financial loss through alleged
car repair graft, general miSmanage-
ment and alleged Relating.
Three resolutions were introduced by
the militant attorney. All were lost
by an overwhelming vote. His first
resolution called for an Independent
investigation of the road by Il com
mittee of prominent Stockholders.
A second resolution dema ndcd that
all directors who are not residents
of illinois be OuSted on the ground
that the constitution of the state pro
hibits tne present proportion of out
siders on the board. This resolution
was voted down without a roll call.
On his third and last attempt Mr..
Edgar proposed resolution asking
that suit be brought against j. T..
HarahaD president of the road and the
estate of Ira G. RaWn, formerly a
vice president, on charges of gross
neglect. criminal laxity and culpable
negligence This resolution was
