RIGHT TO HOLD STOCK IS POINT Cse la ItrooaM Before Superior Coort Chicago Test In Points that Were Not Before Finally Determined. CHICAGO, Feb. 29. Henry W. Lcman, who was one ot the counsel for Stuyvesant Fish In the recent Illinois Central case, de cided by Judge Ball adversely to the con tentions made by Mr. Fish, filed a bill In the superior court-today seeking to enjoin the Vnlon Pacific Railroad company and -the Railroad Securities company Irom vot ing 281,231 shares of Illinois Central stock at the annual meeting to be held here March 2. Thirty-seven persons, among them Ed ward II. Harrlman, In whose names the 2SX231 shares in question stand, are also mads defendants to the suit, X r rayer of the Petition. The bill, which Is quiet lengthy, seeks the following: "That the Vnlon Pacific Railroad com pany may be decreed to have not right, power or authority to own 2K1.231 shares of stock of the Illinois Central iKallroad com pany, or any one or moro of said shares, and that the claimed or pretended bwner shlp of said shares or of any one or more of them by said company, may be decreed to be illegal, ultra vires and null and Void. "That the Union PaAfic Railroad com pany may be decreed to have no right, power or authority to own all the stock of said railroad securities or any one or more shares of the stock of said company, claimed or I retended ownership of said shares may be decreed to be Illegal, ultra vires, null and void. That the Union Pacific company be de creed to have no right to vote 281.231 shares of the stock of the Illinois Central Rail road company at the meeting of the stork holders of the railroad company to be held March 2. or at any adjournment thereof, or at any other meeting of the stockhold ers of said company, and that any attempt to vote the same at said meeting or at any adjournment thereflf, or at any other meeting of the stockholders of said com pany may be declare to be Illegal. That the Illinois Central Railroad com pany may be, by the decree of this court, perpetually enjoined and restrained from permitting the Union Pacific Railroad com pany and the Railroad Securities company to vote any one or more of said 281,431 shares of stock of tho Illinois Central com pany at the meeting to be held on March 2, or at any adjournment thereof, either by any officer of the said Union Pacific Rail road company or of tne Railroad Securities company, or by any of Its attorneys, so licitors, agents, employes or representa tives, or by its other proxies That the ownership and holding of the stock of said Illinois Central Railroad com pany by the' said Union Pacific Railroad company or by said Railroad Securities company or by any other corporation or corporations, either In Us own name or names, or In the name or names of any person orpersons for them or for any of them, may be decreed to be illegal, ultra vires and null and void. That this court may make such orders and decree herein as to the d!sporUn of said 21,231 shares of stork of Illinois Cen tral Railroad company as this court shall deem proper and as shall be agreeable to equity. Mr. Leman was asked the object oi tne filing of the new bill. Seeks to Test Ills Views. "I gave the advice," he said, "on which "the original bill was filed. When the in junction was refused Mr. Fish and his as sociates determined not to continue tne litigation because It would takd. two or three years to reach a result. I may have been wrong in my advice, or I may be right. I am a stockholder in the Illinois Central, and a citizen of Illinois, and I want to find out whether the Illinois Cen tral and every other railroad In this state can be dominated by the Union Pacific. I am backed by no man, although a number of other stockholders have asked to Join me In having this question determined. I do not expect Judge Ball to reverse his decision denying the injunction, but the question of voting that stock Is very impor tant and ought to be determined, ana tne court of last resort will be given an oppor tunity to pass upon It. I have money enough to pay the expense of the litigation and I am determined to go to the end with the case and secure an adjudication which will be final." Officers Holding: Tovrnsend. HURON, S.
