Each Party Claims Majority.
CHICAGO. Oct. 14. (Special.)
What promises to be one of the great
est legal battles in history for the pos
session of a railroad property was be
gun today, when Judge Farlin Q. Ball,
of the Superior Court. Issued an ex
parte injunction restraining Edward
H. Harriman and his associates from
voting 286,731 shares of stock at the
annual meeting of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, which is scheduled
to take place Wednesday.
In this battle of millions against mil
lions, of Independent ownership
against corporate aggrandisement,
Stuyvcsant Fish, ex-president of the
Illinois Central, has associated with
himself ex-Senator Edmunds, of Ver
mont; John A. Kasson,- of Iowa, ei
Mlnlster to Austria, and William M.
Merlch, of Chicago.
The restraining order runs against
Mr. Harriman, Henry H. Rogers, of
Standard OH fame; the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of New York, and
more than 100 other lesser defendants,
and the court Is asked to compel them
later to dispose of their stocks in the
Central.
To meet the attack which has been
made upon him, Mr. Harriman is hast
ening to Chicago on a fast train and
will arrive here in the morning to take
charge of his forces.
May Break Up Many Mergers.
The battle is to be to a finish, with
the Standard Oil Company and the
moneyed power of Wall street in the
background giving aid to Harriman
and. with the shadow at least, of the
President of the United States and of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
sustaining Mr. Fish. In the outcome
may even be read the fate of the
gigantic railway fabric of over 23,000
miles of railroads which the "wizard"
of Wall street and the "Napoleon" of
the railway world has built up in the
alleged effort to control the commerce
of the United States, and in so doing
to strangle competition and cast it
from the world of transportation.
In the sequel, too, may be read the
fate cf the administration's attack
upon railway consolidation in the form
it has taken, for in the hands of the
court has been placed the question of
public policy which underlies all rail
way consolidation. Should, therefore.
Mr. Fish succeed in wresting the Illi
nois Central from the control of Mr.
Harriman, he would at the same time
open the door to independent owner
ship of every railway corporation In
the State of Illinois, if not in the
country.
Roosevelt in Fish's Confidence.
The importance and far-reachin& ef$"ct
of the litigation cannot be overestimated.
It is no longer an open eecret that in
the several conferences which he has re-v
cently held with President Roosevelt, Mr.
Fish went over the details of his cam
palKn to make Mr. Harriman and the
Standard Oil Company disgorge, not only
the Illinois Central control, but their con
trol in Influence, if not in stock, of the
St. Paul, the Northwestern, the Balti
more & Ohio, the Santa Fe. the St. Joseph
& Grand Island, and possibly of the New
Tork Central lines.
The stock which the Harriman contin
gent has been restrained from voting is
nearly one-third of the entire issue, which
la 960,400 shares, and it is owned as fol
lows: On hundred and eighty-six thou
sand tms" hundred and thirty-one shares,
bought by the Union Pacific. Messrs. Har
riman, Rogers. Stlllman and Kuhn. Loeb
& Co.. in July. 1908; 95.000 shares, belong
ing to the Railroad Securities Company,
and 5300 shares owned by the Mutual
Life Insurance Company. Trie restraining
order was issued upon the presentation of
a bond for $10,000 eigned by Henry V". Le
man, one of Mr. Fish's attorneys.
Result Depends on Proxies.
The Harriman forces will not have time
to argue a motion for the dissolution of
the injunction before the annual meeting
date. Should the Harriman people have
15 or a larger per cent of the stock re
maining after the 30 per cent which has
been enjoined Is taken away, they un
doubtedly will hold the annual meeting on
schedule time. Should Mr. Fish, on the
other hand, have more than 36 per cent
of the capital stock, it is possible for htm
to prevent a postponement of the meet
ing and to elect four directors on the
board. It therefore depends upon the
number of stock proxies which are held
by each aide what Is done during the next
two days.
If Mr. Fish sees fit to try to force a
postponement of the annual meeting. It Is
probable that the Harriman forces will go
Into court and ask for an order requiring
Illinois Central affairs to remain in statu
quo until the questions at issue in the
Injunction suit are determined.
PREVENT HARRI MAX'S VOTIXG
Pish Gets Injunction, Alleging Con
spiracy and Illegal Contract.
CHICAGO, Oct. 14. Stuyvesant Fish,
through his attorneys, today secured a
temporary injunction which will. If made
permanent, restrain the voting at the
Illinois Central meeting on Wednesday
of 286,731 shares of the stock of the Illi
nois Central Railroad Company which
would otherwise be voted in the interest
of E. H. Harriman. The writ is directed
against the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany, the Railroad Securities Company of
New Jersey and the Mutual Life Insur
ance Company of New York, which com
bined hold the above shares of stock.
In addition to the temporary injunc
tion sought, a final decree was asked de
claring that the Union Pacific Railroad
Company and the Railroad Securities
Company have no power, under the laws
of Illinois, to own stock in the Illinois
Central. It was also asked that these
companies be directed to sell their stock
in the Illinois Central within a reason
able time.
Harrlman's Control Unlawful.
The petition charges an unlawful
scheme of the Union Pacific Railway
Company to control the commerce of the
United States by buying large blocks of
stock in the prominent transportation
companies. It sets forth the names of
corporations whose stock, it Is alleged,
the Union Pacific has bought, among
them the Chicago & Alton, Illinois Cen
tral,- Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul and
the Chicago & Northwestern. It charges
that these four ' companies own and
operate parallel and competing lines, both
in and outside of the State of Illinois,
and that it is unlawful for the Union Pa
cific Company to own and vote stock In
such parallel and competing lines.
It is further charged that in the effort
to get a large percentage of the stock
of the Illinois Central, the Union Pa
cific violated its charter by buying the
stock of the Railroad Securities Company
of New Jersey, which held .as its only
asset 95,000 shares of Illinois Central
stock. The charge is made that 15,000
shares of Illinois Central stock belonging
to the Railroad Securities Company were
transferred a few days before the Illinois
Central books closed by a sham transac
tion to B. H. Harriman and 18 officials of
the Union Pacific and Illinois Central,
who are under the control of Mr. Harri
man. The bill declares that Messrs. Peabody,
Auchencloss and Vanderbllt, directors of
the Illinois Central, are trustees of the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New
York, and have combined and conspired
with K. H. Harriman and the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company to aid the Union
Pacific in getting control of the Illinois
Central, and to that end. It is declared.
they propose to vote the 5500 shares of
stock owned by the insurance company at
the coming election. It is alleged that the
Insurance company, under the laws of
Illinois, cannot vote stock In the Illinois
Central.
It is set forth in the petition that the
object and purpose of the Union Pacific
Is to perfect and perpetuate its control of
the directory of the Illinois Central, ' in
which by law all corporate powers of
the Illinois Central are vested, so as to
have the Illinois Central operated to its
Irreparable injury and damage as a mere
feeder to the Union Pacific through its
connections at Council Bluffs, la., and at
New Orleans, by means of the Southern
Pacific Company, which the petition de
clares the Union Pacific controls abso
lutely. It is alleged that, under the laws
and public policy of Illinois, neither the
Union Pacific nor the Railroad Securities
Company nor the Mutual Life Insurance
Company can own and vote stock in the
Illinois Central.
Harrlman's Move Today.
It is believed that the attorneys for Mr.
Harriman will tomorrow seek the dissolu
tion of the injunction, and it is not possi
ble to state at the present time whether
the argument will be completed in time
to allow Judge Ball to make a decision
before the day of the annual meeting.
Mr. Fish said today, after the granting
of the temporary injunction:
"I have all along been satisfied with the
manner in which things were moving. I
have never been obliged to seek proxies
by claiming a majority, and I shall not
do so now. No one can foretell the issue
of a contest which is still in the future.
The, stockholders at home and in Europe
are fully alive to the Issue and are send
ing their proxies by the hundreds. I have
every confidence in the outcome of the
proceedings relating to the Injunction."
Says Fish Is Beaten.
William Nelson Cromwell, representing
the interests of Mr. Harriman in the
Illinois Central, said tonight:
. I am not at liberty upon the eve of the
annual meeting to dt?alose the condition
of the proxy holding Tut I make myself
personally responsible for the statement
that Mr. Fish has been hopelessly beaten.
His appeal tu the stockholders has resulted
In more than a majority of them declaring'
that they want no more of him, and as a
last resort In the hour of his disappoint
ment he seeks to prevent one-fourth of the
stock from being voted because he knows
that it will be voted against him. More
over, he stultified his own record because
he has in the past voted a considerable
portion of this same stock for his own
lection. He considered it valid to do sj
when he could vote It for himself. Wo
have no fear as to the outcome of the
fight.

DOES NOT LOVE LA FOLLETTE
May Force Election of Dele

IGNORE DIRECT PRIMARY
Result Might Be Exclusion of Sen

Owing to Bitter Factional
War In Wisconsin.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 14. (Special.)
There is a chance, not so extremely re
mote, that Senator La Follette, of Wis
consin, an avowed candidate for the
Presidential nomination, may have to
fight for admission to the Republican
National convention next Summer. Con
fronted by the same conditions he went
up against in 1904, there is again the
possibility that he may have to rely on
his individual battle outside the National
party breastworks.
Recognize Xo Direct Primary.
Incident to the gathering of Republican
leaders here this week for the purpose
of arranging the preliminaries for the
National committee meeting in Decem
ber, some significant facts relating to the
calls for National conventions have been
unearthed. Unless the executive com
mittee of the National committee, which
will issue the call for the 190S conven
tion after the time and place have been
set by the full committee, breaks Ull
precedents, the call will provide specifi
cally for the election of delegates at
large from all the states and territories
by conventions, taking no cognizance of
the direct primary system prevailing in
Wisconsin, under which Mr. La Follette's
friends would expect him to be elected
a delegate at large from the Badger
State and to head the Wisconsin dele
gation, i
Political conventions are a thing of the
past with Wisconsin Republicans, under
the direct primary scheme which Mr. La
Follette forced through during his term
as Governor. Delegates to National con
ventions are to be chosen as candidates
for state officers are nominated, by di
rect vote of the people. The state law
and political organization regulations,
however, have no influence upon the Na
tional committee. This committee is all
powerful in prescribing how the mem
bership of the party convention shall be
selected.
Might Lose in Convention.
There Is a feeling that, while Mr. La
Follette might be certain to pull down
one of the four delegateships at large at
a direct primary, he might fall by the
wayside through the holding of a party
convention, which might choose a com
plete delegation . favorable to some other
person as a candidate for President and

mated by officials of the Republican Na

cities will be favored. The principal
objection to Seattle, it is said, is its
distance from the center of population,
and Eastern and Southern delegates, who
will -overwhelm the committee, will op
pose going so far West.
The same objection is raised to Denver,
though not so strongly. Committee offi
cials believe ithat some more central city
will, be chosen, one that has adequate
seating capacity in an auditorium and
one with sufficient hotel capacity to
handle the crowds. Lack of hotel facili
ties is a forcible argument against Seat
tle. It is believed likely the convention
will be held in Chicago or St. Louis,
though the determination will not be
made until the National Committee meets
here in December. .

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14. As a result
of an attack upon a Japanese laundry to
night, the proprietor and one of his em
ployes are in the emergency hospital,
many whites are nursing bruises caused
by the clubs of the police, and the ex
terior of the laundry is a wreck.
The trouble was occasioned by Joseph
King, an intoxicated logger, who crashed
into the window of the laundry conducted
by T. Umkekeubo, at 422 Fell street. The
proprietor and H. Omura rushed out and
dragged King into a rear room, where
he was placed in charge of a young Jap
anese, who stood guard, armed with a
section of gaspipe, while the other Japan
ese hurried to summon the police to ar
rest King.
Three intoxicated companions of King
witnessed the Incident, and they planned
to rescue their friend. Other whites were
called on and there followed a combined
attack on the laundry. The street was
soon filled by a large crowd, and a dozen
Japanese on the inside sought to repel the
invaders.
Policeman Thomas Collier was soon
on the scene and attacked the crowd
single-handed. Another officer soon
arrived In an automobile and the riot
call, which was sounded, brought
strong reinforcements. The police
charged the crowd with clubs and
many were hit. Umkekeubo and
Omura were convoyed to the hospital,
where it was found the former was
badly cut about . the head, while
Omura sustained a fracture of the
shoulder.
King was found asleep In the rear
room, innocent of the trouble he had
caused.
Mr. Walker, attorney of the Japa
nese Society of America, tonight was
securing evidence of tne affair.
FINDING BASIS FOR RATES
State Commission Will Seek to
Squeeze Water From C. & E. Stock.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.) To form
a basis for reasonable freight and pas
senger rates on the Corvallis & Eastern,
the Oregon Railroad Commission began
an Investigation today. Not much prog-
UD
NIPPON
ress was made for the reason that the
three witnesses who were heard. Superin
tendent G. F. Kevins, former vice-president.
J. K. Weatherford. and former
secretary, J. A. Shaw, are not familiar
with the history and records of the cor
porations that have at one time and an
other owned the line from Yaquina to De
troit. Enough has been brought to light,
however, to show that the patrons of the
Corvallis & Eastern are expected to pay
large profits on a property that has ap
parently been made subject of transac
tions of a nature commonly called high
finance.
The Commission has records showing
that in 1904 this road, then owned by the
Oregon Pacific Railroad Company, was
sold at Sheriff's sale to Hammond & Bon
ner for $100,000. The sale Included river
steamers, tugs, ocean steamers and equip
ment which were later sold by Hammond
& Bonner for about the sum they paid
for the entire property. In 1895, the Ore
gon Central & Eastern Railroad Company
was organized by Hammond & Bonner
and the property transferred to that con
cern. In 1898 the Corvallis & Eastern
was organized and the road taken over
by the new company. This company is
capitalized at J2.5O0.000. and is bonded to
the amount of J2.115.000. What the rail
road Commission is now endeavoring to
find out is whether this capital stock and
bonds represent value of property or
whether they are largely paper values
upon which shippers must pay Interest
ana dividends. The hearing was contin
ued until October 29, when witnesses who
have personal knowledge of the history of
tno property will be present.

ON GAMBLERS
Begin Campaign to Put
Lid Over Baker City.
MAYOR MUST ENFORCE LAW
Proposed to Depose Officials
Who Fail to Do Their "'uty.
MAKE ALL NAMES' PUBLIC
Every Citizen Will Be Listed For or
Against Closed Town- Kov. Sir.
Varney, or BaptUt Church, '
Lender in the Fight.
BAKER CITY, Or., Oct. 14. (Special.)
The first shot in the campaign to put the
lid on in Baker City has been fired, and
those who have taken the matter up de
clare they will not rest until they have
run every gambling house out of Baker
City and forced the saloons to observe
the law regarding ' Sunday closing and
the admittance of women and minors
to the barroom.
At the Sunday evening services in the
Methodist, First Baptist and Second Bap
tist churches the question as to whether
or not the state laws and city ordinances
should be enforced In Baker City was
discussed. At the First Baptist Church
Rev. Mr. Varney said that a delegation
of the ministers had waited upon Mayor
JohnB and asked him to enforce the laws
against the gamblers and saloonmen,
but that Johns had said he had no power
to enforce the state laws. Johns, how
ever, replied that if It was the wish of
a majority of the people that the laws
be enforced, he would take it upon him
self to enforce them.
To Put Each Citizen on Record.
Mayor Johns, said Mr. Varney, then
made the ministers the following prop
osition: At the coming city election, No
vember 4, four Councilmen are to retire
and new men chosen to fill their seats.
If It is the desire of the people to have
the lid on in this city, let them put up
candidates who favor a closed town and
elect them, then Mayor Johns would see
that Baker City became a closed town.
The ministers refused to accept this
proposition, believing It would meet de
feat at the polls.
The ministers propose to make a
thorough canvass of the business men
and other citizens. It is proposed fur
ther to make public the names of ail "
citizens and how each stands in regard
to an open or a closed town.
Open Town Evident to All.
Bev. Mr. Varney called attention to the
ordinance forbidding the keeping of hogs
within Baker City and likened the gam
blers and saloonmen to moral hogs,
whose stench could be detected all over
the Northwest. The assassination of a
leading citizen has spread Baker's rep
utation all over the United States and
given it a name that it can never erad
icate. That gambling Is openly carried on In
Baker City is denied by no one. That
women and minors are allowed to enter
saloons is admitted by all. That the sa
loons run wide open on Sunday cannot
be denied. The chief difficulty has been
to determine whose duty It is to enforce
the laws, and Rev. Mr. Varney made ,
this point very plain. He furthermore
stated that if the officials did not do
their duty, charges would be filed with
the Attorney-General to oust them from
office.
Gamblers Feared Brown.
In connection with the gambling In
Baker City, it has developed that the
saloonmen and gamblers had more to
fear from Harvey Brown after he left
the Sheriff's office than while he was
serving as an official of the county. It
is said that Mr. Brown had gone to
District Attorney Lomax and given him
the necessary information to bring suit
against the gamblers and close them
up and requested the District Attorney
to take such action, but Mr. Lomax, It
is said, refused to do so, stating that It
was not the wish of the majority of the
people to put the lid on in Baker City.
Brown, it is said, prepared and filed
charges with Attorney-General Crawford
in which he sought to oust Mayor Johns,
District Attorney Lomax and Sheriff
Rand from their respective offices, be
cause they did not enforce the laws.
