thtt Railroad Securities Company at the

day. Henry W. Leman, who was one' of
the attorneys for Stuyvesant Fish in the
recent suit tiled by the latter for ejrailar
purposes and decided adversely to him.
asked the Superior Court of Cook County

first suit are omitted in the bili filed
today, but practically no new grounds for
an injunction are brought forward.
That the new action will not delay ar
rangements for the annual meeting of the
Illinois Central, which is set for Mon
day noon, was the declaration tonight of
President Hanrahan of the Illinois Cen
tral. Thirty-seven persons, among them
Kdward H. Harrlman, In whose name
the 281,231 shares in question stand,
are alco made defendants to the suit.
The bilJ, which is quite lengthy, seeks
the following:
Ahks Decree Against Harrlman.
That the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany may be decreed to have no right,
power or authority to own 281.231
shares of stock of the Illinois Central
Knilrnd Company, or any one or more

ultra vires and null and void.
That the Union Pacific Railway Com

of, or at any other meeting of the
Mockboldpr of said company, and that
any attempt to vote the samp at said

of, or at any other meeting of the
stockholders of said company may be
declared to be illegal.
Enjoin Voting of Stock.
That the Illinois Central Railroad
Company may be, by the decree of this
court, perpetually enjoined nnd re
strained from permitting the Union pa
cific Railroad Company and the Rail
road Securities Company to vote any
one or more of said 281.231 shares of
Mock of Illinois Central Railroad Com
pnny at the meeting to be held on
March 2. or at any adjournment there
of, either by nny officer of the naid
Union Pacific Railroad Company or of
the Railroad Securities Company, or by
Hi'V of Its attorneys, solicitors, agents,
iniployH nr representatives or by its or
their proxies.
Thnt the ownership and holding of
the stock of said Illinois Central Rail
road Company by the said Union Pa
cific Railroad Comoany or by said
Ituilropd Securities Company, or by any
other corporation or corporations,
either hi its own name or names, or in
1 h na me or rames of any person or
persons, for them or for any of them,
may be decreed to be illegal, ultra
vlrf-s and null and void.
That thin court may make such
order and decree her in as to the dis
position of said 2S1.231 shares of stock
of the Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany as this court shall deem proper
and as shall be agreeable to equity.
Wants Final Decision.
Mr. iceman was asked the object of
filing th new bill, and said:
I pave the advice on which the or
iginal bill was filed. When the in
junction was refused. Mr. Fish and his
associates determined not to continue
the litigation because it would vtaka
two or three years to reach a result. I
may have been wrong in my advice, or
I may be right. I am a stockholder in
the Illinois Central and a citizen of
Illinois and I want to find out whether
the Illinois Central or any other rail
road In tills state can be dominated by
the Union Pacific. I am bucked by no
man. although a number of other stock
holders have asked to join me In hav
ing the question determined. I don't
expert Judge Ball to reverse his deci
sion denying the injunction, but the
question of voting that stock is verv
important and ought to be determined,
and th court of last resort will be
given an opportunity to pass upon it.
I have money enough to pay the ex
pense of the litigation and I am de
termlned to go to the end with the
case and secure an adjudication which
will be final.
Control Mould Damage Road.
The bill asserts that the Union Pacific
Railroad owns all but a few of th
shares of stock of the Railroad SecuV
ties Company. It then gives a list of
owners of the 2S1.231 shares of stock In
question and declares that all of the
stock is .held and owned for the Union
Pacific Railroad Company. It alleges
that the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany has no right or authority to vote
this stock at the annual meeting to be
held March 3 or at any adjourned meet
ings. It avers that the Union Pacific
Railroad Company, by voting this stbek,
will elect directors, "who will be under
Its influence and control and will transact
other business to its advantage, to the
great and irreparable damage of the Illi
nois Central Railroad Company."
The bill also sets forth that the laws
of Utah, under which the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is organized, do not
give the power to hold stock in otuer
than railroad corporations and declares
that the public policy of Illinois pro
hibits a corporation from holding stock
in other corporations. The bill further
declares that at the annual meeting tto
be held March 2 a proposition will come
up for the ratification and approval of
certain purchases of branch railroads,
and. If it is ratified by these SSI. 231 shares
of stock, the validity of such approval
and ratification will be subject to serious
question and that the money invested by
the Illinois Central Railroad Com pan v
may probably be totally lost.
Says Two Roads Compete.
The claim Is also made that the Untqg
Pacific Railroad Company controls par
allel and competing lines to those of the
Illinois Central, "and that by such stock
ownership it tends to create a monopoly
and to stifle competition between nil
roads and Is unlawful and contrary to
the public policy and laws of the State
of Illinois."
Tt Is also alleged In the bill that on
February 2a a demand was made by
Mr. Lfman on the lllinoit Central Rail
road Company that it bring suit seekins
to enjoin the voting of these 281.231 shares
of stock, but that the request was re
fused. Frank M. Culver, assistant counsel with
Mr. Leman in the recent litigation, served
notice on the attorney for the defendants
later in. the day tnat he would appear
before Judge Ball Monday morning: and
ask that a preliminary injunction be issued.
RESPONSIBLE FOB THE GOODS
"Railroads Must Pay, Even After
Shipment Leaves Line.
PORT SMITH, Ark., Feb. 29. United
States District Judge J. H. Rogers, in
a decision handed down here today,
sustained the constitutionality of the
last two paragraphs of section N erf
the Hepburn act, -hich makes railways
tesponsible for the loss of shipments
beyond terminals of their lines. The
decision is said to be the first ever
rendered on this point. It was based
on a suit brought against the St. Louis
& Sa-,l Francisco Railroad -for the
valuation of a shipment of fruit lost
after it was delivered to a connecting
line, and was against the railroad.
Hill's Revenge on Minnesota.
ROSEAU. Minn., Feb. 29. In a letter to
R. J Bell, of this city, Louis W. Hill,
president of the Great Northern Railroad,
says that a projected line to Warroad,
Minn., a town on the Lake of the Woods,
will not be built this year and that the
Great Northern does not care for any
additional mileage in Minnesota because
present rates are unprofitable. The letter
says in part:
"At the present time I doubt if there
are any stockholders, or directors of any
of the railroads in Minnesota who desire
to hold any additional mileage in Minne
sota. The rates which have been estab
lished are not profitable on lines where
business is reasonaoly heavy and certain
ly would not be on branch lines."
The projected -road to Warroad has al
ready been graded, but in all probability
will not be railed this year.

nois Trust & Savings Bank, was slated

MAY RETl'RS ' OVERCHARGES
Oregon Railroad Commission Adopts
Federal Body's Rule.
On their own initiative, members of the
Oregon Railroad Commission have decided
to adopt the practice of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in cases where
rates are raised without the shipper's
knowledge, and where the railroads con
cede that the former rate Is not un
reasonable, that is to allow the railroads
to make reparation to the shipper by
returning overcharges. This will be done
In cases where adjusUnent of the charges
appears proper to both the shipper and
the railroad company.
Applications will be entertained, how
ever, only in cases where shippers and the
railroads agree on the matter and the
testimony of the shipper will be taken in
each case to show gcod faith. These
precautions will bo taken to guard against
rebates. Ae the Interstate Commerce
Commission does this on interstate busi
ness, it is believed by the Oregon Com
mission that it should be allowefl on
local traffic.
New Branch Road Opened.
The Northern Pacific extension on the
Grangeville branch has been completed
to Vollmer and service on the new line
will fee started today. A mixed train will
be started in service for a time and a
timecard will be issued by the operating

Lewiston to Vollmer, where the new
service will be run, is 45 miles.

leaving Portland at midnight, has been
taken off that train and now leaves daily
at 7:45 P. M. attached to train No. 15.
The schedule of No. 13 has been length
ened and the new arrangement gives far
better service to Southern Oregon people
than the former arrangement.

TERRORISTS TO DIE
Sentence of Russian Prisoners
Is Confirmed.
PLOT . TO KILL STOLYPIN
Premier Learns That Cal vino, One
of the Seven Convicts, Lay in
Wait AVith Bomb to As
sassinate Him.
ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 29. Gen
eral Hazenkampf, chief of the general
staff, overruling- the plea of counsel for
the defense, has confirmed the death
sentence passed by court martial on
the seven terrorists, including the
mysterious. Italian, Calvino, who were
convicted of complicity, in the plot
against Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie
vitch and M. Chzchtglovitoff, the min
ister of justice.
The Italian Ambassador today dropped
all his efforts in behalf of Calvino, "hav
ing received confirmation that he is not
Calvino, the St. Petersburg correspondent
of two Italian newspapers. The docu
ments Jthe terrorist had in his possession
have been found to be- forgeries.
It was learned today that Premier
Stolypin had a narrow escape when he
delivered the ministerial statement to the
Douma November 2fl. The Italian who
has been posing as Calvino was present
at this session with a bomb in 'his
pocket. He lay in wait for the V -mier
in the restaurant, but. fortunately
for himself, the Premier Jeft the build

man.
EFFORT TO SAVE TEHKOKISTS
Appeal Denies Competence of Mil
itary Tribunal.
ST: PETERSBURG. Feb. 29. That the
death sentence imposed against Calvino,
the Italian newspaper correspondent, and
six other terrorists who were convicted
of complicity in the recent plot upon the
lives o" Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaie
vitch and M. Chtchegloviton, Minister of
Justice, will not be carried into effect
without an effort being made to save
them, was made manifest yesterday when
an appeal based on constitutional grounds
and involvingthe competency of the Dou
ma was lodged with General Hazenkampf,
chief of the general staff.
The appeal sets forth that the verdict
is invalid, as the case did not belong to
the jurisdiction of a military court, since
the state of extraordinary security legally
ceased to exist in St. Petersburg in Jan
uary, and that the original statute estab
lishing various classes of military law
promulgated in 3881, after the assassina
tion of Emperor Alexander IT, and re
newed periodically since, expired in Au
guest, 1907. The appeal also contends that
the imperial order, by which the stat
ute was extended for a year, partakes of
the nature of a temporary law, which re
quires the consent of the Puurtia two
years after its convocation. The case of
Calvino and the other two condemned ter
rorists is the first to raise this issue, as
the two years expired in January.
Can't liaise Money for New Navy.
ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 29. The' project
for the rebuilding of the Russian fleet has
received a setback as a result of the at
titude taken by the Ministry of Finance,
which sees no possibility under the pres
ent circumstances of the country raiding
the funds needed. Minister of Finance
Kokovsoff says that neither the pro
gramme, costing $1,000,000,000 in ten years,
nor the alternative minor programme,
calling for an estimated expenditure of
$225,000,000, could be considered at the pres
ent time. He believes that the sums as
signed annually tor construction will be
$15,500,000 for several years to come.

case in which the unwritten law was

better clothes, some of the luxuries that
her husband's meager salary could not
give, and a tempter who took advantage
of her weakness by furnishing suppers at
cafes at night, at skating rinks and like
entertainment. While not admitting the
plea of unwritten law. Justice Arntson
believed the testimony of the woman and
corroborative evidence, and continued the
case until Monday, releasing Riley on his
