Hearst’s Sunday American will be
credited with 50,000 extra votes in the

ticpatlng a larger vote offer later, be-
< ause If you do you will be doomed to
bitter disappointment.
Have you been approached by one
of the candidates with a request for a

why you. too, should not make an ef
fort to annex one of the 97 grand
prizes offered by the Home and Auto
mobile Club? Now is the time for
you to get into the race, when sub
scriptions count the heaviest. This
will give you an o-pportunity for over

membership in the club. You are at
liberty to nominate yourself on the
blank published elsewhere in this pa
per, and bring or send it to contest
| headquarters. This blank will start
you with 1,000 votes, and then you
can begin in earnest and pile them up
by means of the special offer.
To beginners and present members
it might be said in emphasis that the
50,000 extra votes means Just what it
says— E-X-T-R-A. The 50,000 votes
will be In addition to the number you
would ordinarily receive for the sub
scriptions turned in.
Never again will you have a chance
like this to win an automobile of su
perior make, latest design, with all the
modern accessories, for so little effort
on your part.
Rest assured that the winners in
the Home and Automobile Club will
be winners without a cent of personal
expense. All it requires is a little ef
fort during spare time.
Look over the list of prizes to-day
and fix your eye on the grand double
prize, a home to be proud of and a
handsome motor car. YOU can be the
proud possessor of this double prize
on May 15 If you set to work with a
vim and rally your friends and ac
quaintances—yes, even strangers—to
your assistance. Bear in mind you
are doing them as great a favor as
they do you by putting them on the
subscription books of the greatest
newspapers in the South.

CHICAGO, April 10.—Minority
stockholders in the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific Railway before Fed
eral Judge Carpenter have asked for
an Injunction against the annual
meeting of stockholders next Monday,
called to elect directors.
In the bill presented to the court
is a survey of the financial history of
the Rock Island from the time of the
Reid-Moore Bros, syndicate down to
the present.
Nathan L. Amster, of Boston, and
Eric P. Kepplemann and Ruby R.
Vale, of Philadelphia, representing
more than 1,200 minority stockhold
ers of the company, filed the bill ask
ing the court to “forever restrain and
enjoin the holding of the meeting of
stockholders of the railway company
on April 12, unless at the meeting to
be held there shall be elected thirteen
directors, of whom a majority shall
be citizens of Illinois.”
Would Hold Up Proxies.
The minority stockholders also ask
that the majority stockholders be en
joined from voting the proxies which
they hold through what is called the
“Sheldon committee.”
On January 21, the petition al
leges. Warren C. Crane, on behalf of |
the minority committee, obtained a
demand upon the officers of the com
pany, as follows:
“I, on behalf of the committee and
the members therefor, demand that
you forthwith exhibit and allow' to be
exhibited the stock books and trans
fer books and that you permit me or
them to take extracts direct there
from.”
The demand, It la alleged, was re
fused, and on January 28, 1915, the
Sheidon committee began a systemat
ic solicitation of th^ stockholders,
having free access to the books. By a
vote of the directors, it is further al
leged, the books were ordered closed
April 2, to be kept closed until after
the annual election. April 12. Be
tween March 29 and April 22 the pe
tition alleges 246,000 shares of stock
were sold upon the New York Stock
Exchange.
Must Live in Illinois.
According to the Illinois laws, un
der which the road is incorporated,
the majority of the directors must, be
residents of the State of Illinois. The
petition alleges that only four of the
directors, Edward S. Moore, James H.
Moore, John J. Mitchell and Henry U.
Mudge, are residents of the State.
The other directors, Daniel G. Reid,
Roberts Walker, Francis L. Hine. Ar
thur Curtiss James, Ogden Mills,
Thomas M. Schumacher, George G.
