Description

James Harahan and Edward Harriman kick Suyvesant Fish out a window only to have him return in the second panel. They throw him out an adjacent window in the third panel but he returns through a transem window in the fourth panel.

Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central Railroad (1887-1906) and a board member at the Mutual Life Insurance Company, joined a committee aiding a state investigation into Mutual Life in 1906, which caused railroad executive Edward H. Harriman to remove him and appoint James T. Harahan as president of the Illinois Central Railroad.
