GETS
ATLANTIC OUTLET
Buys Georgia Central and May
Sell It to Illinois
Central.
HARAHAN MAKES THREAT
I'nion Pacific May Cut Off Traffic
Kelatlons ir Fish Wins Fight."
Morgan Squeezed Ilarrinian
In Georgia Central Deal.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12. (Special.) Ther
were two sensationnl developments In, the
Illlnota Central fight today. One was the
discovery that E. H. Harrlman had
nought the Georjtia Central Railroad last
Spring through Oakleigh Thorne and that
J. Perry is planning to sell it to the Illi
nois Central. The other was a veiled
threat made by J. T. Harahan, president
of the Illinois Central, in a circular letter
to the stockholders, that the traffic rela
tions between ihe Union Pacific and Illi
nois Central might be severed if Mr. Har
rlman does not retain control of the Illi
nois Central.
The circular says that the traffic inter
change with the Union Pacific and South
ern Pacific is vastly more beneficial to the
Illinois Central- than to the other lines.
Mr. Harahan adds:
"The Union Pacific hac several excellent
outlets eastbound from Omaha, and need
riot give a pound of freight to the Illinois
Central."
According to the Wall-street story of the
sale of the Georgia Central Railroad to
Mr. Harrlman. Mr. Thorn and Mr. Perry,
the ostensible buyers, received a commis
sion of $150,000 for purchasing control.
Mr. Harriman then borrowed $2,700,000 of
Mr. Thorny Trust ' Company of America
on Georgia Central stock. Mr. Harrlman
was required to put up only $300,000 in
cash, the purchase price being $3,000,000.
The loan by the Trust Company of
America of $2,700,000 on $3,000,000 worth of
Georgia Central stock was one of those
objected to by J. P. Morgan, who refused
to take it over until Mr. Harriman had
put uj a large amount of Union Pacific
and other gilt-edged securities.
IIAKAHAX REOPENS CAMPAIGN
Issues Circulars In Ileply to Charges
Made by Fish.
. CHICAGO. Nov. 12. President Harahan,
of the Illinois Central Railroad, today re
opened the active campaign for proxies
to he used at the proposed annual meet
ing of the railroad company on December
IS. He issued two circulars to the stock
holders of the railroad company, in one of
which, after narrating the facts regard
ing the procuring of an injunction by
Stuyvesant Fish restraining the voting of
certain shares of stock, he says:
Of course. If Mr. Fish's claim that cor
porations cannot vote or lioltl stock in Illi
nois corporation be sustained, then every In
furance company, trust company, savings
bank or other Investment company wher
ever situated, which has invested in the
Illinois coupons will suffer disastrous loss,
and al persons Interested as policyholders
or stockholders in such companies will like
wise suffer
In the second circular Mr. Harahan
aaid:
Effort has been made to create the im
pression that since Mr. Fish was retired as
President, the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany has undergone an entire change of
management. This is not true. No cilunges
in traffic relations with the Union Pacific
or with the Southern Faclfic have been made
during the past year. The traffic arrange
ments with the I'nion Pacific and the South
ern Pacific Railroads now in force are those
which were made when Mr. Fish was Presi
dent. Mr. Flarahart discusses at considerable
length the charge that misstatements re
garding the accounts of the property, and
asserts that all of these have been cor
rectly and properly kept. The circular
concludes as follows:
In these days, when public sentiment with
regard to corporations is so disturbed, a
heavy responsibility ought to attach to the
making of an unfounded charge of fraudul
ent conduct amounting in law to forgery,
against the management of a great railroad
corporation. Such a charge. If believed by
the over-credulous, injures and discredits not
only the officers of the company, but the
corporation itself. ,

IS HELD UP ON . BRIDGE
Albert Bell Meets Lone Highway
man and Loses $2 9. .
Albert Bell, business agent for the lo
cal Sheet Metal Workers' Union, was held
up at the east end of the Morrison
street bridge by an unmasked highway
man early this morning, and robbed of
$29 in cash. Bell had been calling on
friends living on the East Side and was
on his way to his room at the Grand
Hotel about 12:30 o'clock when he was
robbed. When Bell first caught sight
of the highwayman the latter was lean
ing over the railing of the bridge, gaz
ing into the water, apparently wrapped
In meditation. That the fellow was
merely doing a. bit of acting Bell soon
discovered. The moment Bell attempted
to pass by him the thug whirled about
and Bell found himself looking into the
muzzle of a big, black revolver while the
highwayman murmured Hands up,
young fellow, and shell out."
Bell elevated his hands and the robber
quickly searched him. "Now on your
way and don't you look back: Just keep
moving," the thug commanded, and Bell
hastened to comply, not stopping until
he reached a telephone on the West Side,
where he rang up the police and reported
the robbery.
Bell describes the robber as a middle
aged man, of medium height with dark
hair slightly streaked with gray, and a
stubble of three days' growth covering
his face. He wore a long black over
coat and a black Blouch hat.
The robber appeared to be an old hand
at the game. Bell said, and went about
his business cooly and with great de
liberation. REFUSE CARRIE NATION

it not been for the attempted murder
of Marshal McKenney Sunday morning.
McKenney had followed Steele home,
and the murderer suspect knew he was
being shadowed. He entered his room
ing-house, but immediately went out
another door, and with all possible
haste reached a place he knew Mc
Kenney would pass. It was the fact
that he was in a hurry that saved Mc
Kenney's life, as the bullet went a
trifle wide of its mark. The Marshal,
thinking it waa Steele who fired the
shot, watched the house and saw him
softly enter the building a few hours
later. Knowing that his life might be
taken any moment, the matter was
brought, to a focus, as all the evidence
necessary "had Been secured.

Last gight three policemen knocked on
Steele's door, and when he saw who it
was he tried to slam shut the door. The
officers forced it open and demanded
that Steele accompany them. They were
determined, and although h,e resisted for
a moment, he finally gave in and went
peacefully to the station. He had been
alone until this afternoon, when A. M.
Able, attorney, called and was allowed
to see him.
Mrs. Todd spent a portion of the day
closeted with- Marshal McKenney and

MINT WORKS LATE AT NIGHT
Turns Out Golden Eagles -at the
Rate of 4000 an. Hour.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12. The Unit
ed States Mint today distributed
$1,000,000 in gold o;ouble eagles to the
subtreasury in this city. It is stated
that within the next three months the
mint here will coin 52,000,000 in gold
double eagles.
This enormous amount of gold will
be distributed among the subtreasurles
in various parts of the country and
will be expected to relieve the money
stringency.
The loca mint is- well equipped to
contribute its share of the shower of
gold that has begun to fall upon every
part of the United States. Many of its
employes are working overtime, how
ever, and it has become a nightly oc
currence for coin counters, weighers,
adjusters and others to work as late
as 10 o'clock before the hour for quit
ting work.
New machinery has been installed
in the mint and its efficiency demon
strated in tho operation of the "split
collar," a device for putting stars on
the edge of the newly designed eagles.
Ther are 46 stars on the edge of each
piece because of the- approaching ad
vent of the new state of Oklahoma to
the Union.
The machinery at the mint is capable
of grinding out 4000 of these pieces in
an hour. There is now at the mint
enough bullion for the manufacture of
$20,000,000 in double eagles, but more
bullion from various sources is being
diverted to the big institution.
As soon as $150,000 in .half-dollar
pieces .or a similar amount in .quarters
is sent but from the mint, within a
day or two, the attention of the work
ing force will be devoted exclusively
to the task of meeting the require
ments for gold.

Without Scrip.

Association announced today,
after a meeting of its members, that no
clearing-house checks will be issued in

tinued to engage more gold abroad, the
clearing-house rushed the work of get
ting out its "cashless checks" in small de
nominations, which will be used locally In
lieu of currency.
"It was the generaL opinion at the meet
ing of the clearing-house today that the
tension had been appreciably relieved,"
said John J. Mitchell, president of the
Illinois Trust & Savings Bank. "All of
the gold reserve cities reported the situ
ation much Improved. The report from
abroad is that London is getting gold
plentifully from the Continent, thus mak
ing It less difficult for American banks to
engage gold in Great Britain. I have en
gaged $500,000 more today,-anaking a total
of $2,500,000 for this bank "
