who was elevated to the head of the

some persuasion, he reluctantly agreed
to abide by the decision of his .fellow

Max F. Ihmsen, chairman of the state
committee of the Independence league,
made the following atatement today:
"I an. absolutely confident that Mr
Hearat will win this election by 200,000
majority. The desperation of the Re
publicans is manifest in the course they
have pursued. Federal Interference has
been invoked In a manner so audacloua
as to have called forth a protest from

Chief Red Cap. for the Utea, spoke

of the officers, but insisted that his
people had suffered long In -silence.
"We run away and be bad, so the Great'
White Father will hear us," bs said.
Chief Red Cap said that the federal
agents appointed, to look after the In
dians in Utah had deliberately robbed
them for years, and that they had been
reduced to a oondltlon worse than
slavery. "Ws not get . enough to eat
and children end women die, because,"
he said. ".
'The army officers are quite dum

the west bound wood snd coal business,
but there Is sharp competition In the

Chicago, Nov. I. -Edward H. Harrl
man has - played hla last card in his
fight to bust Sttryvesant Fish from, the
presidency-of the Illinois Central rail
road. Mr. Fish, who arrived in Chi
cago thla evening, accompanied by, his
counsel, Jamea B. Dill, learned of ' the
move after midnight, and at once made
arrangements to dash back to Nsw York
on Sunday's limited trainband fight to
the last ditch in the meeting of the di
rectors. Mr. ttarriman s cars is a secret call
for a meeting of the board of directors
to meet in New York next Wedneaday
at 11:J0 a. m. to elect the executive of
ficers for the ensuing year. '
Tbe call, which waa Issued hut Wed
nesday waa algned by "three members
of the board who took .that method of
calling the meeting in the 1 absence of
Mr. Fish in New" Orleana. Tha call
was algned by J. W. Auchthcloss. Wal

While he ia determined to fight to the
bitter finish, Mr. Fish la not optlmlatlo
over the prospects of holding bis posi

ent when the tot is cam .to determine
whether he shall remain at the head of
tbe road or will be retired agalnat his
wishes. ' ,. X -
Tbe. appearance of M1 Harahan'a
name on the call for a meeting of the
board while Mr. Fish waa out of the
city ia taken to mean that Mr. Hani
man haa a majority of the board. When
Harahan algned the demand upon Mr.
Fiah to elect Henry W. DeForest as a
member f the board of directors in
stead of J.-W. D. Cutting it was re
ported that the second vice-president
had turned against Mr. isn. air. Hara
han himself denied thla and said that:
"The electing of a director ia one
thing; the choosing of a president an
other." - i
Whenaeen at the Annex tonight Mr.
Fish refused to discuss the quarrel be
tween himaalf and Mr. Harahan. One
of the membara of his party, however,
admitted that they bad been notified of

would haaten hack to New York.
"They probably will force the Issue
and may defeat Mr. Fiah." aald v thla
