Illinois Central Stockholders Spring
Trap on Directors
Attorney, Holding Proxies, Gains Ac.
cess to Meeting and Serves
Subpoenas on .All.

Chicago Stockholders of the Illinois
Central railroad company were given
lively half hour at their annual meet
ing through the efforts of Attorney
Maxwell Edgar.
Holders representing 784. 1856 shares
Of stock were present. Mr.. Edgar ar
rived, armed with proxies for 60
shares. which enabled him to take part
in the meeting. He was accompanied
by two deputy sheriffs, who added to
the confusion by serving subpoenas on
the various directors in every lull in
the meeting.
The subpoenas were in a suit for
$40, 900, 900 damages, which Mr.. Ed
gar, constituting himself an attorney
for the road, started in the Circuit
court when he filed a praecipe in the
case. The defendants to the suit are
directors of the road whom Edgar
seeks to hold responsible for alleged
financial loss through car repair
graft" general mismanagement and
alleged rebating.
While the two deputies were making
things interesting in the meeting. half
dozen others guarded exits from the
Park Row building, Mr.. Edgar fear
ing that some Of the directors might
attempt to evade service. This pre-
caution proved superhuous.
Three resolutions were introduced by
the militant attorney. All were lost
by overwhelming votes. He denounced
the present management of the road,
made the charge that its directors are
incompetent and that its financial
statements are juggled, and that its
officials are dishonest and violating the
interstate commerce law.
His first resolution,was in support of
these charges and called for an indie
pendent investigation of the board by
committee or~Prominent stockhold-
ers. He was voted u1Bp. A second
resolution demanded tha;or t,directors
who were not residents o. illinois be
ousted on the ground that the 'constitu-
tion Of the state prohibits the present
proportion of outsiders on the board.
This resolution was voted down with
out the formality of roll call.
On his third and last attempt Mr..
Edgar proposed a resolution asking
that suit be brought against James T.
Harahan, president of the road, and
the estate of the late Ira G. Rawn
who was vice president before the car
repair scandal came to light, oil
charges of gross neglect, criminal lax
| ity and culpable negligence. This res
olution was buried under another avail
anche Of contrary votes.
