most sensational nature, involving high
former officials of the Illinois Central rail-

One of the stockholders is dead, Ira G..

CHICAGO, Aug. u.-William BURY, at
torney for the Ira G. Rawn estate, tonight
said the decree of the chancery court was
| an outrage.
1.-THE decree has no force" he said, "and
is not binding either upon Mr.. Rawn, IL
he were alive, or his state estate now that
he is dead. It simply represents an agree
ment between those who would have been
his advisories.
There is not the slightest thing in his
estate or among his effects to warrant the
suspicion that Mr.. Rawn ever owned any
stock in any car company.
