Petition to Court Says Franchise
Troubles Cause the Insolvency.

Upon the petition of the Guaranty
Trust Company of New York. receivers
were appointed by United States Circuit
Judge Peter S. Grosscup for the Chicago
Union Traction Company, the West Chi
cago Street Railroad Company and the
North Chicago Street Railroad Company.
The New York trust company declared
it held matured notes of the three cor
porations which were unsatisfed and ag-
gregated with interest and costs, the
sum of 81, 154, 232
The Guaranty Trust Company of New
York fled three bills in court, one bill
in relation to the Obligations it held
against each of the three traction COM
panies. In these bills were direct refer
ences to the unsettled franchise question
in Chicago, and allegations were made
Il. the court in this way indicating the
intention &c the companies to cling earn
estly to their alleged rights under the
so-called ninety-nine-year act. The court
is also informed in these bills that lit
has been publicly stated by the Mayor of
said city and by members of said City
Council and the local transportation COM
mittee of said Council that no applica-
ton for renewal of franchises viii be
granted unless said North Chicago City
Railway Company and said Chicago
West Division City Railway Company
shall renounce, abandon and repudiate
the obligation and authority conferred
and imposed by the aforesaid act of the
Legislature"
For this reason, the complaining trust
company proceeds to aver, "the credit of
the defendant corporation Gin each case
has been destroyed so that il is unable to
renew said promissory notes or any of its
floating Indebtedness, and it is without
means 10 pay rentals accruing from time
TO time, or to improve or equip the rail-
waSs to the convenience and satisfaction
of tn. public
The complainant refers to the attitude
assumed by the city authorities toward
the defendant corporations as "oppres-
sive, illegal and unreasonable"

became frightened. He turned and step
ped hastily down the stairs and, guarded
by several policemen, sought shelter in
his private office. A hand-to-hand fight
then ragged about the Speakers desk
As soon as Speaker Miller left the
chair his friends set up the cry that the
House had adjourned. The members
who revolted against the Speakers rul-

and called for a new Speaker.
