Reporter Then Why should they squeal7 II
Jou both run ut the same rates, and you pay 8
per cent dividend and they don't pay anybody,
they snoulu be contented; what becomes of
their money?
Commodore. I'm; well, don't know; they
can keep it, that's sure, and I think, from
what have heard about them, that they must
stand it.
Reporter. They cay that you control the
Lake Shore line aud will not allow them to use
that Line though they have an agreement with
it.
Commodore. don't know auything about
it. The Lake Shore Line folks are all honest.
and run the Central, but the Erie fellows ara
squex!ing about it, amt they? They cau't do
ANYTHING, nobodyU trust them, the Central has
all the traffic, and they have got none, and be-
fore long they'll have less.
After some further conversation, our report
et, finding that it WAS impossible to get nny
facts relative to the war, left the Commodore
and proceeded to the Grand Opefa House in
search Of Fisk, Gould, md general iufor1na-
tion.
The Colonel and aC. Gould were closeted to-
gether, and in answer to our reporters aueu-
tion Is to whether there was anything new, re-
piled there was not, that they were in this INST
Ter acting az they always had, upon the defep-
sivei that Vanderbilt had made raid upon
them, and theY had only protected themselves.
Reporter. But Vanderbilt says that he never
heard Of anv war except from the newspaper
