BIG TRACTION DEAL
MAY Be ON THE TAP|S.
MEMBER Or THE EVERETT
yoORE TRACTION SYNDICATE
WAS AT THE MLURE.
THE OBJECT OF HIS VISIT
Has Not been Diyulged, but May
Develop During the Near Huture.
A Number OF Very Interesting
Rumors Were Circulation
Anent the Matter Last Night.

Is there a big traction move on the
carpet, was the exciting topic of dis
cussion between several prominent
citizens last night.
This interrogation was caused by
the fact that MIR. z. NJ. Moore, of the
great Eyerett-Moore traction syndicate,
which is absorbing all the electric
roads in Michigan, Chic and other
contiguous localities, arrived in the
cry Monday night and registered at
me Mcclure house.
He was accompanied by Mr.. II. Clark
Ford, also a prominent fnancier, of
Cleveland, who also stopped at the Nc
Lure Immediately after breakfast
these two gentlemen visited the Offices
OF the Wheeling Traction Company
and discusse1-what?
That is the question that remains
officially unanswered-the question that
many in Wheeling would like to have
solved.
Is there a combination afoot between
The local traction company and the
great traction syndicate, which buys
IN the control of electric lines as ordi-
nary people purchase melons for their
table?
There is a movement in progress to
connect Cleveland and Pittsburg by
trolley lines. A road could branch into
Wheeling from, say Steubenville or
Welsburg, and by forming coalition
with the local traction company. tray
erse the city on their tracks and thus
make the Wheeling WelSburg line a
branch of the great trunk line from
Pittsburg to Cleveland.
The Wheeling fraction Company is
now battling with other lines seeking
franchises through and into the city
from various outlaying districts tribu-
tary TO this city A coalition with the
Everett Moore syndicate, which absorbs
small and large lines as spong does
water, would greatly strengthen them
in this fight.
Late last night Mr.. w. B. Peterson, of
the Wheeling Traction Company was
communicated with by phone and told
of the rumored combination. He de-
MED it in toto, saying: There is not a
word of truth in it. Not a word OF
truth

franchise that will virtually close the
northern entrance to any opposing road.
Why did these people consult with them
and no others-city officials, Board OF
Trade officials or prominent citizens
all interested in the welfare and devel-
opment of Wheeling? Why this early
consultation and rapid fitting?
Another prominent citizen interested
yfar nd N n
asked If 1t was true as rumored that he
had been at meeting with the Everett
Moore people yesterday or the night
before, at which the foregoing matters
were discussed. He emphatically de-
MED that he had.
This remains. There was a visit OF
these gentlemen to the traction COM
pany's offices. They doubtless did not
leo there to discuss groceries or to buy
hats. What did they discuss If not
traction matters in Wheeling?
