Mew'York, Sept. 24.—In a statement
sent to the stockholders of the Illinois
Central raglroad 8tuyve»ant Fish makes
the direct charge that the reports of
the road iutve been doctored, and sets
forward the figures to prove his accu
satlon. Here Is what Mr. Fish has to
say:
•'It appears from the annual report of
the Illinois Central company for the
year ending June 20, 1907, that there
was an extraordinary Increase In the
net reeelpts of the corporation during
the last four months, which Increase Is
Inexplicable nnd Is made for the pur-
first third of the year showed an
Increase In net receipts of IMS,079, then
came the change In the presidency and
In the next third of the year- the re
ceipts decreased by I672.7M.
“Finally In the last four months they
were suddenly Increased by 21,253,289,
of which Increase 2994,751 Is reported
as made In the single month of June.
This palpable mlsstaiement waa fur
ther emphasised by the fact that, al
though neither the mileage nr the oi
ending conditions had changed In tl
slightest degree, the succeeding month
of July showed a falling off of 1504,-
209, against the reported gain of 3604,-
•701.'"
Mr. Fish declares that there Is a
fight on the part of the Union Paclflo
to get control of the Illinois Central.
In his charge he says:
“How complete the control of the Il
linois Central by the Union Paclflo
seemed to those Interested may be un
derstood when 1 Bay at the next direc
tors' meeting Robert W. Ooelet, a Un
ion Pacific director and also a direc
tor of your company, came expressly
at Mr. Harrlman'a behest, all the way
h
from Burope to New York to Join wit;
others In unseating me as president of
the Illinois Central, which done, he re
turned to Europe the following day.”
Son Francisco, Sept. 24.—Sixteen
people In California, owning 200 shares
of Illinois Central stock, have been
waited upon by the emissaries of the
Hurrlmnn clique In that company, the
active heads of which nre J3. II. llarrl-
■nan, J. T. -Ilurahan and A. G. Hock-
staff, and naked for their proxies to
be voted In the Hurrlmnn Interest at
the forthcoming annual meeting of the
company In Chicago on October 16.
Htuyvesant Fish, former president of
the Illinois Central railroad, has inode
public a circular calling upon the
stockholders of the Illinois Central
Rnllroad Company for proxies to be
voted at the annual meeting.
Mr. Fish alms to defeat what he
says hns been a persistent effort to
place the Illinois Central In the hands
of those dominating tho Union Paclflo
and Southern Paclflo companies.

H. W. BROOKS DIED
IN ROME MONDAY
H. M. Ashe received r. telegram early
Tuesday morning announcing the sud

Brooks, In Rome Monday evening.
Mr. Ashe left nt 5:20 o'clock for
Rome, and will probably sccompauy
deceased. Mr. Brooks died
suddenly of heart trouble In Rome
Monday night at 10 o'clock. He waa
manager of the Standard Scale Com
pany of that city and a man of high
standing In.the bualncss world.
Detroit fares have been fixed at 10 for

ronto the city received last year 1418,

"Take the situation with the local
monopoly. Isn't the Georgia Railway
and Electric Company declaring dlvl
denda every year on watered stock?
won't call It watered stock. Water
costs something In this country. It Is
nothing but wind—pure wind.
“Didn't the company declare an 8 per
cent cash dividend Just this year and a
26 per cent stock dividend—22.000,000
of stock that cost no more than the
paper on which It was printed?"
Matter for Commiseion?
At the conclusion of the talk by
Councilman Terrell, Councilman Pome
roy stated that the question really waa
not Just what rates should bo fixed
or what rates other cities had fixed,
but whether or not the matter should
be passed up to the railroad commis
sion. This waa tho sense of the com
mittee. Alderman Hlrsch suggested
that a trade might be made with tho
company, and Alderman Beutell stated
that he would prefer to deal with his
own people rather than go to the rail
road commission.
Councilman Huddleston waa of the
ould mako the Investigation. On mo
tion. President Arkwright waa Invited
to submit any proposition he might see
fit to make In the way of reduced rates.
Low Enough, 8sys Arkwright.
“J did not come here for that pur
pose," stated Mr. Arkwright, “because
I do not think tho rates should bo re
duced. 1 think they are low enough,
I believe a reduction would do the city
more harm than good.
"Under the present law, any cltlsen
can petition the railroad commission
to reduco our rates and hs can make
It at any time and as many times as he
may desire. If there are objections to
our rates, these cltlsens will complain
to the railroad commission. If the poo.
S is were dissatisfied, they would be
ere before this committee today In ro.
aponse to the Invitations In the news-
papers, but there Is not a single, soli
tary soul.
"All I ask—and I ask It In the name
of Justice and fairness—la that you do
not prejudice our case by sending this
matter to the railroad commission the
way It is proposed—by Indicting us
without any facta on which to base
the Indictment.
The city of Atlanta could have no
better advertisement than a good street
car service. It ts our pride that we are
giving you this. It Is our pride that
people who have traveled the length
and breadth of this land will tell you
that there Is no better service In the
world than right here In Atlanta—that
the cars are no better, that the tracks
are no better, that the schedules are
no better.
The first thing a visitor observes In
a city Is the street car acrvlce. What
better advertisement could the city
wish than a good service? In the very
nature of things, If our revenue Is cut
down, If we nre hampered continually

“Llb.rsl to City.”
"Councilman Terrell knows as well
os the other members of this commit
tee that we have dealt liberally and
fairly with the city. We have Just re
cently signed a contract with the city
for cheaper electric lighting for pri
vate consumers and for ths city alike
that will cut down our revenues $80,000
a year. We have voluntarily raised
the wages of our employees, which will
out down our revenues for the year
about 150,000. Our taxes have been In
creased about 8100,000. In these three
Items alono we lose 8280,000. In other
words, we have that much less to spend
on our property.
"All of you know that we have paid
for renewal of street paving when we
did not have to, time and time again,
nnd we have never raised an objection.
Take, for Instance, Edgewood avenue.
North Pryor anil North Peachtree.
This has coat us thousands and thou
sands of dollars that we did not have
to spend.
“Company Not Niggardly."
"The Georgia Railway and Electric
Company, as you know, always heads
the list in contributions to public en
terprlse*. You have never heard of the
company being niggardly.. You have
never heard of the company falling to
do all In Ita power to build up the
town.
"We have extended our line* at great
expense and built up the suburbs and
the outlying districts. We agreed only
to give transfers within the city limits
and we give them to College Park, to
East Point and to Decatur. A person
can ride fifteen miles for a nickel on
our lines today.
"I can prove it by Mr. Stmmons here,
who was then connected with the street
car company, that when the consolida
tion ordinance was granted tn 1892,
that when we ngreed to universal
transfers, and to give you 2 nnd then
Arkwright heating about the com-
S taints against his service, he would
b the last man to hear them, anyway.
"In Detroit they have a 3-cent fare
and good cars. Here we have a 6-cent
fare and on some of the lines, notably
Decatur street, they still use the old
horse cars that date back to the year 1.
Here, according to Mr. Arkwright, the
company pays altogether to city, coun
ty end state, 8 per cent. In Toronto
per cent of our gross receipts, and
to hand you over 350,000
cash, that the
city agreed that It would let us alone.
That’s all we ask. Let us olons.”
Taking up the cities cited by Mr.
Terrell as giving lower street car fares
and cheaper gas. President Arkwright
argued that the conditions were dif
ferent In most of the places, and In one
of them the rates really were no

station.
Terrell Answers Arkwright
Councilman Terrell then msde his
rejoinder. He argued that It would not
be prejudicing or prejudging the case
to send It up to the railroad commis
sion. where the question may be thresh
ed out by people who had the power
end the authority to do so, and who
could make a thorough Investigation
of the :«a! facta In the case.
"Nobody made Mr. Arkwright and his
crowd.” stated the councilman, "get
Into the street railroad business. I
can remember that they fell over each
other trying to get In. And It has al
say let this matter go to the rail
road commission. I am willing to abide
by the decision of the commission. It
ths commission says we should pay a
nickel, that we should stand on the
roof of the cars or hang by our eye
brows, I can stand It If the others can.
Plea for Cheap Qas.
'As for this gas question. In New
York gns Is put In the mains for 28
cents per 1,000 feet The Richmond gas
plant was burned down during the war
and yet It has paid for Itself twice over
again, besides earning a good percent
age on the Investment.
"In Milwaukee they do not manu
facture and sell It aa Is dons here. The
company buys It at wholesale and sells
It at retail and still the price Is only
80 cents.”
At the conclusion J. B. Les, a con
tractor, arose and plead with the com
mute not to send the matter to the
railroad commission.
■T voted for Hoke Smith for govern
or.” said he, "but I never dreamed
what harm he would do. All I want
that commission to do Is to repeal what
It lma already done. The rates here
are low enough and If you cut them
the salaries of the employees will be
cut. The service Is a little poor In
spots and It might bo Improved and I
think It will.”
