legal contest between E
H. Harriman and Sfciyvesant Fish,
former prosldent of tho Illinois Cen
tral nilrond, for possession of tho
Immenrely wealthy corporation was
this morning decided in favor of
Hairlimn by Judge 1111.
Tho decision which favors the
Union Pacillc railroad, a Hurrlman
'enterprise, upholds the right of cor
porations outside of Illinois to con
trol and voto stock in Illinois corpor
ations In sustaining the right of tho
NYw Jersey holding company of the
Union Pacific.
Judge Ball dissolved the tempor
ary Injunction grn'"d Pish, pro
venting the Harriman interest from
voting coutoetcd stock in tlio road
at 'he annual oloetion, which has
been postponed from time to time oa
account of the controversy. Tho rul
ing of tho court affects aear'y a hun
dred big corporations dolug bulaea

The court hold that the FUh-Har-riman
controversy did not reeemble
the Northern Securities Compnay.
