MORGAN YERKES TUBE"
Controversy Added to Mr.. whites
Published Comments

London, Nov. 3.-The acrimonious
controversy arising from the Morgan
Yerkes tube rivalry was added to this
evening by a statement given out for
publication by George White, chair
man of the London United Tramways.
Mr.. White characterized as a myth"
one Of the assertions in the letter from
the Morgans. printed in the Times on
Saturday last. He declared that anoth-
er statement in the letter is not a fact,
and concludes thus:
THE facts are that after an expert
ence of the methods of Messrs. Nor
gan extending over four months and
eliminating in their insolent message,
through the solicitor that they absolute
ly decline to discuss our proposals, we
determined nothing on earth should in
duce us to continue business relations
with that firm"
The principals now seem inclined to
drop the newspaper campaign. To-
day Edward Speyer said:
II deprecate all such press contro-
versies. We certainly should never
have appeared In print but for the
harsh words of Sir Lewis McIver in
the House of Commons debate, which,
coming from the chairman Of
the tubes committee, might easily
have been misunderstood. Since his
letter to the Times generating my
firm of any imputation of improper
dealing the matter so far as we are
concerned is needed"
