ACCUSE YERKES OF FRAUD
Directors 4sk for Receiver for Chi
cdgO IL" Road.

Chicago. Oct. 24-The Lake Street Elevated
Railroad Companv. capitalized at S1OOOOOOO
was placed in the hands of receiver this after
noon, in pursuance to a resolution passed by the
board Of directors asking for the appointment
The order was entered in the Cook County Cir
cult Court before Judge Tuthill, who appointed
the Equitable Trust Company receiver for all
the property of the company
In the BILL which was filed by James Bolton
and Daniel f. Crilly. stockholders in the COM
pany, 1t is alleged that the company is hope
lessly insolYent. and that this condition has re-
suited from the reckless extravaganza and
fraudulent conduct of Charles T. Yerkes and his
associates and the mismana cement of Clarence
A. Knight. his representative" The complain
ants further declare that the purpose of Mr.
Yerkes and his associates is Ito wreck and de-
stroy the said road, with the view Of acquiring
the same at sacrifice and thereby eliminating
and cutting off the rights OF other stockholders.
Yerkes and his associates, it Is averred, control
q majority of the stock of the company. and
have the power to continue their hold thereon
through the election and retention Of a board Of
directors subservient to their wishes.
When seen tonight President knight ridlculed
the charges made in the petition for the receiv-
eyship. He said:
I should not dignity these charges with serious
answer. II the court proceedings are based
the company. then the directors who authorized
the filing Of the bill are charging themselves with
mismanagement. because they constitute major
ity Of the board and they approved all acts OF the
officers
There has been threat of litigation for some
time in order attack the lease made by the Lake
pany. This probably behind the present pro-
ceedngs The charges of nlismanagement were in
all probability made for the purpose Of giving the
court Jurisdiction to appoint /, receiver The al
legations about Charles T. Yerkes'S domination OF
the affairs Of this company also ridiculous. In
1901 Mr.. Yerkes practically severed his connection
with the Lake Street Company. and a year ago he
sold his few remaining shares He has not now
a dollars worth Of interest in the company. either
in stocks bonds In my opinion there was not
sufficient ground shown for the appointment OF a
receiver. We certainly shall resist this proceeding
though l do not know when the first step will be
taken.
The Lake Street Elevated Railroad Company
was Incorporated In 1892 with a capital Of $40
100000 The officers are Clarence a. Knight,
president: W W Miller, of New York. vice
president: w B. Griffin, secretary and treasurer.
The directors are Clarence \. knight. James G.
Hutchins w. W. Miller c. T. Page. W. w
Shaw. Henry c. Hackney. Alfred Kohn. Cory L.
Robinson and James Bolton. The directors who
approved OF the receiVership, IL ia said, were
Messrs. Robinson Page, Shaw. Hackney. kOhn
and Bolton.
