NO CASE IN COURT
Judge Graves Dismisses Quo
Waranto Suit Against Tri.
City Company.
FOR THE RAILWAY
Court Holds That Interest of Public
Would Not Be Served by Stop
ping the Street Cars.

Upon motion of the attorneys for the
defendant Judge Graves this morning
dismissed the case of the people ex rel
s. r. KenwOrthy vs.. the Tri-City Rail
way company, which has been in the
court in the form of a quo warranto
proceeding for about year and a half
In this is a sweeping victory for the
defendant company in attempting 10
preserve its rights in the city of Rock
Island.
Serves Notice to Council.
The case was first brought to public
attention when notice was served upon
the city council ordering that body to
have removed from the streets of the
city OF Rock Island all of the tracks.
poles and wires of the Tri-City Rail-
way company. or action in court would
be commenced compelling the removal
thereof. Subsequent to this the quo
warranto proceedings were begun with
5. K. kenwOrthy as the relator.
Uses Name of People.
States Attorney H. A Weld went
into the case alleging in his petition for
the writ that the people were interest
ed in the granting of the writ, and set
ting forth that the cars were being op-
Grated on the streets Of the city with
out paying the city any revenue there
for. Affidavits were submitted show
ing that in a published article Mr..
Weld had suggested that the ease
would be dismissed if the company
would make certain concessions, one
OF them being TO pay revenue to the
city of Rock Island.
DO Not Coincide.
In deciding the matter this morning
Judge Graves said that the evidence in
dictated that the thing asked for was
not the thing wanted; that while they
were asking for an order Of custer the
evidence indicated that what was
wanted was that the defendant COM
pany Should pay franchise tax to the
city of Rock Island.
1t was held. that while the petition
set forth that it was interest of the
people, it would not in reality serve
the interests of the people in stoppiug
the cars from operating in the CITY. As
II had been asked that the cars be
stopped that was the only question be-
fore the court. and it could not antici
pare what might be done by the com
pany toward serving the people in the
payment of the required revenue. or
compliance with other demands. that
would allow it to continue operations
and not tie up traffic. .--
Had AcGuiesced.
The court held further that during
all of these years the people have re
cognized the companys rights and &C.
quisced while the company has gone
ahead and spent thousands apoa thous-
ADDS of dollars in the City of Rock
Island, and that if now estopped from
action that would amount to practical
confiscation of vested rights.
An appeal will be taken to the SUI
prcmc court. Jackson, Hurst & Stat
ford and Searle & Marshall are attor.
neys for the defendant company. which
was also represented in court this
morning by President f. Z. Cook and
