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.

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 a quarter during rush hours. In To- ronto the city received last year 1418, 000 In taxes alone from the street cal' company. "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?

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 all things taken Into constd- cheaper, 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.” WRECKED SAILORS MAKE BOAT AND GO 100 MILES FOR HELP MOTORMAN 18 RELEASEDi TRIAL IS POSTPONED.
