REAL. -ISSUE NOT TOUCHED
! u Shall Illinois Central
He Operate in Interest of
Colon' Facile or It'
Stockholders.
NEW YORK, Bept. S7. Stuyvesand Fish
this morning mad public a reply to th
circular letter tent out on Tueday last
by President Haraban of tha Illinois Cen
tral railroad, in which ha declare that
the charge mad by Mr. Harahan were
not new, but had been published long ago
and "each met by tn and disposed of.".
"But tha on point at Issue, x be decided
by the stockholder of the Illinois Cen
tral at the Coming annual meeting, Is no
where touched upon," says Mr. Fish. "That
Issue, Is this: Shall Illinois become a
mere feeder and fattener of tha Union
Pacific? Can any Such perversion of the
purposes and opportunities of the Illinois
Central stockholders submit to having all
of their voice and power In the manage
ment and control of their property dele
gated to one man, under tha power of
attorney plan, which Mr. Ilarrlman haa
so adroitly used to his own profit T" -
Mr. Fish then quotes from the by-laws
of the Union Pacific to show bow thla
could be done,- and continues:
A certain Interest does, however, attach
to some of the specious excuses now put
out by Mr. Harrlman and his financial
associates, for my having been ousted, and
there la also interest attached to the rea
sons why It haa been necessary to change
and modify those excuses so often.
The circular of September U, which
Is fathered by Mr. Harahan; shows on its
face that it emanates from Mr. Harrlman,
In that It contains precisely the same alle-
fatlona that he had injected into liia tea
Imony before the Interstate Commerce
commission last February.
liarrlsaaa Changes Reason. .
Mr. Fish here quotes the reply to. these
charges, which was widely published at
tha time, and says:
But tha reason given last February by
Mr. Harrlman for having turned me out
of the presidency of the Illinois Central,
was by no mesne the only one which he
had given. At tha hut meeting of the
stockholders of the Illinois Central Rail
road company, held on October IT, 190J.
Mr. Harrlman and hla attorney, William
Nelson Cromwell, mad their tight solely
on the ground that I would not consent
to election Into the Illinois Central board
of another director of the Union Paclflc
Bouthern Pacific system.
But when called to testify before th
Interstate Commerce commission Mr. Har
rlman could not stand on either the propo
sition that he had quarreled with me be
cause I would not add to the Union Pacific-Southern
Pacino. representation In the
Illinois Central board, or on tha vague
generalities of the letter of November 7,
IS), which h had caused the other di
rectors to Join with 'him In signing and
handing to me at the opening of the meet
ing Of the board of directors held on that
day. . Nor yet, on the statement that he
waa and had been the principal owner of
Illinois Central stock, because It had Just
then been proved In the hearing before
th Interatate Commerce commission that
h had sold his Illinois Central holdings
to the Union Pacific in July of 1904. Nor
yet. on the statement that the Illinois
Central had not grown and progressed, as
that wa emphatically contradicted by th
annual . reports of that company; which
were In th possession of th commission.
Hence, the necessity for him to then in
vent another, in which he did. by trumping
tip accusations against me In respect to
matter which had happened four year
before, which were and had always been
fully shown on the books of the company
and were perfectly well known to the di
rector of the Illinois Central Railroad
company, when they i unanimously re
elected m president In the autumn of
1903, and again, in 1904,. and for a third
time, In 1906.
Charge Against Harrlman.
. Concerning th loan by him as president
Of the Illinois Central to Mr. Dresser,
Mr. Fish says that It was made on col
lateral which at the time . was "market
ble and abundant." After the failure
of th Dresser .firm, lie adds, th col
lateral was ' sold at a loss. He then
says: v .
(If my personal enemies can only claim
Hi at I cued th company a single small

say hundreds of millions loaned In th
meanwhile (more of It to Mr. Harrlman
than to any other Individual) I am con
tent to let the matter rest there. It Is
needless to add that on no other loan
made by me, and of course on none to
me, did the Illinois Central Railroad com
pany ever lose a dollar.
Nor need I refer to the so-called In

Jean I. Kennedy Intro
dace Mr, Bryan.
"Mr. Bryan has been tne candidate of
his party for president of the United States
twice and ha ton down to defeat each
time, and today few men are as great with
the crown of victory on their brows as he
Is in defeat."
From the lips of John L. Kennedy,
former republican congressman of the Sec
ond district, this tribute to William Jan
nlngs Bryan, democracy's Idol, was cheered
With vigorous enthusiasm by some 200 men
tn the banquet hall of the Toung Men's
Christian association Thursday night. Mr.
Bryan was the guest of honor of the third
annual reception and dinner of the state
committee of the association, snd Mr. Ken
nedy Introduced him.
The assemblage was typically representa
tive of Omaha and the state, bringing to
gether men from every section of Nebraska
nd various walks of life. The reception
preceding the banquet was conducted In th
spacious rotunda on the first floor of the
new building. Some 400 Invitation were
tent out and about half that number of
men attended. Mr. Bryan, himself, Is a
Toung Men's Christian association man
and a member of the state executive com
mittee. When the distinguished guest, had
shaken the hands of those who cam to

Bryan Gets Back mt Kennedy.
Adding to his tribute to Mr. Bryan's
greatness under defeat, Mr. Kennedy, In his
Introductory remarks said:
"He Is destined to be the candidate of
his party a third time. Whatever we may
think of Mr. Bryan's politics, we, of Ne
braska, must admire the man and feel
proud that a fellow-statesman of ours
stands pre-eminently at the head of his
great party. In a position to dictate Its pol
icies and determine the planks of its plat
form." When he arose to make his address Mr.
Bryan did not forget Mr. Kennedy.
"We are called on In this world to forgive
much," he said. "I have had to forgive
much of my republican friends for what
they have said about me, but I don't know
when it waa easier for me to forgive a re
publican for saying things about me than
it Is to forgive Kennedy here tonight."
Detail of the Program.
W. J. Hill of Lincoln, chairman of the
state executive committee, presided et the
speechmaklng which followed the banquet.
Mr. Hill summed up In a few words the
splendid work of the association, adverting
briefly to that of the executive committee,
of which the secretary, J. P. Bailey, was
the vitalizing force, and Introduced Dr.
W. o. Henry of Omaha, vice chairman of
the committee, who welcomed the guests
In behalf of the committee.
- "Of all the boundless resources of our
great state, which, with Its teeming mil
lions yet fo come, will some day help sway
the destinies of this coufltry ' and the
world, the greatest recourse we have Is
our young manhood," said Dr. Henry.
Two songs were splendidly rendered by
the Young Men's Christian association
quartet, composed of V- C Kollocn, first
tenor; H. E. Wallace.' second tenor; R. H.
Zlecher, baritone, and E. F. Williams,

Bailey with Ktereoptlcon.
Mr. Bailey present eu a most interesting
address upon the work, in the stats and
also made a review of the original work
of th Toung Men's Christian association
from the day of Its founding by Sir George
Williams. In 1844. In this, he was aided
by the stereoptlcon operated ; by E. J.
Slmonds, student secretary; of th asso
ciation In the state. The first view thrown
upon the large white canvass was one of
Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan, Miss Bryan and
a woman friend, anil It .provoked enthus
iastic applause. Mr. Bryan himself looked
much pleased, as well as surprised when
his eyes fell upon the scene, for only Mr.
Bailey and Mr. Slmonds knew It was to be
presented. Then came a large view of
Blr George Williams, the founder of th
work, and Mr. Bailey told In graphic terms
of his career, from a farmer boy on down
through the stages of his great usefulness
until his life ended In Lincoln,, where he
had amassed wealth and given sway for
tunes and was laid away in Weatmtnster
Abbey with the nobility of England,
though himself only a merchant whose
title was conferred by Queen Victoria, be
cause of his Immortal philanthropy.
Bryan Cheers for Roosevelt.
Many views of association buildings in
Omaha and other cities of the stats wer
shown, not th leaat interesting of which

Mr. Kennedy wa then Introduced by
Chairman Hill and in turn presented Mr.
Bryan.
"It is my honor to Introduce to you
one who needs do introduction, oue
whose name' is a household word and
the charm of whose personality ts known
everywhere. I first met him twenty-Ovtt
years ago when h was engaged in a col
leg oratorical contest."
Tie of Christian Love.
"'Blest be th tl that, binds our heatts

of all ties." said Mr. Bryan, "for Chris
tian lovs unit larger body than any
political, religious or social power can
control or claim. , 1
"Th Toung Mo's Christian association
Is larger than any church. It is broader
In membership and larger In work. No

my mcssag to you tonight: This asso

timent that lies back of the Christian
religion.

BRYAN ON STATE PLATFORM
Think Part of Republican Declara
tion and All of the Demo
cratic Good.
"There are two or thres good planks In
th republican platform, as promulgated at
Lincoln the other day," said William J.
Bryan to a reporter for The Bee last night
at the Toung Men's Christian association,
where Mr. Bryan was the honor guest of
the third annual reception and dinner of
the state executive committee of that or
ganisation. "This Is due, I presume, to the
populists who have returned to the repub
llcan party. One of the planks Is quite
democratic that condemning the Injunc
tions suspending state laws. ,
"Whenever a Hamlltonlan doctrine Is ap
plied It generally results In driving republi
cans to democracy, and I think that wlfl
be the result of the prssident's plan of na
tional Incorporation. It will give the public
an object lesson In centralisation which will
strengthen the democratic position.
"But while the republican platform has
some good In it, the democratic platform is
good from end to end. all the way through."
Asked how he regarded the outlook for
democratic chances In the national arena of
politics, Mr. Bryan replied:
"The outlook is always good and It never
was better than right now. Indeed, It is
better than usual today."
Asked who, In hjs Judgment, would be the
republican nominee for the White House In
1808, Mr. Bryan said:
"Well, as no candidate has yet a delega
tion Instructed foi him, the matter Is wholly
speculative and I am not a speculator. Seo
retary Taft received the unanimous en
dorsement of nearly two-thirds of the re
publicans at the Lincoln convention in this
state, but that endorsement expressly stated
that the members of that convention did
not mean to forestall the action of the next
convention, so the endorsement can only
be regarded as expressing the opinion of
delegates not elected for the purpose of ex
pressing such an opinion."
"Have you been correctly quoted In your
views as to the attitude of President Roose
velt toward the next presidential election?
Do you think he will be a candidate?" was
asked.
"I have assumed the president would no
be," Mr. Bryan said, with much delibera
tion, "and his recommendation of nations1
Incorporation of railroads was the first
thing to raise a suspicion that he might be
considering a possibility of running, for
that policy Is exactly what the railroads
want, and It might tend to make them fa
vorable toward him. Tt I. prefer to be
lieve that the recommendation wa due to
his Hamlltonlan leanings rather than to a
revival of ambition."
