traction bill to third reading while two
thirds of the members were shouting OBJ
jections and demanding their constitution
al right to a roll call As tire Speaker
whacked his desk and declared the bill
advanced to third reading there was a
rush for his rostrum by scores of mem
bers from both sides who had been
wrought up to frenzy. Like a pack of
mad wolves they came at Miller, who
for the first time since the rioting began
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-
ing refused to take this view, however,
and called for a new Speaker.
Representative Murray Of Sangamon
climbed to the top of his desk 'It is
evident that this House has not a Speak
er." he shouted. Il move you that Mr..
Allen of Vermilion be made temporary
Speaker" Loud cheers greeted this mo-
tion and it was carried. Led by a score
of Sherman Republicans, Allen ran to
the Speakers chair. For lack of a gavel
Allen picked up chair round and pound
ed for order.
Representative Henry c. Beitler was
installed as clerk, as John A. Reeve, reg
ular clerk of the House, had seized his
records and followed Speaker Miller.
Reeve and his assistants locked the doors
of the clerks Office and refused admission
to all.

Petition to Court Says Franchise
Troubles Cause the Insolvency.

4IOuOtc9 Aau0C tue 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
il held matured notes of the three cor
porations which were unsatisfied and as
gregated, with interest and costs, the
sum of 81, ,154, ,293.
The Guaranty Trust Company of New
York fled three bills in court, one bill
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
to the court in this way indicating the
intention of 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 at
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-
tion fo: renewal of franchises will 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 Gn each case
has been destroyed so that it is unable to
renew said promissory notes or any of its
floating Indebtedness, and it is without
means to pay rentals accruing from time
to time, or TO improve or equip the rail
ways to the convenience and satisfaction
of til. public"
The complainant refers to the attitude |
assumed by the city authorities toward
he defendant corporations as "oppres- |
;ive, illegal and unreasonable"
