TRACTION COMPANY FILES ANSWER
Admits Giving Yerkes Bonds for His Stock,
but Defends Action

Chicago April THE Union Traction Com
pany filed in the federal court yesterday an
answer to the bill OF its underlying companies
attacking the Consolidated Traction Company.
This is the suit in which the financial methods
OF the late Charles T. Yerkes are attacked by
the underling companies and the plea made that
the Consolidated company really belongs to
them
The complaint of the underlying companies
in their bill. to which this is the answer, was
mainly that the Consolidated company was built
by the credit and with the cash of the North
and West Chicago companies at the time Mr..
Yerkes had control of them and the property,
instead of being taken by him, should have been
turned over to them.
The answer in effect says that. so far the
Union Traction Company knows. the financial
methods of Charles 7. Yerkes were correct.
The Union Traction admits that it gave Yerkes
bonds of the Consolidated in exchange for his
stock In the latter company at the rate Of $45
in bonds to 800 in stock, but says it was neces-
sary for it to get control of the property. and
it was protecting the stockholders in the under
lying companies when it did it. It denies it
entered into the trade with Yerkes whereby it
got control of the underlying companies and
formed the Union Traction Company over night.

PELHAM MANOR FRANCHISE OPPOSED.
Counsel for N. Y. w. & B. R. R, Make Ap-
pIication Before Justice Keogh.

Before Justice Keogh. in the Supreme Court
in New Rochelle yesterday. counsel for the New
York, Westchester and Boston Railway Com
pany, which proposes to build an extension OF
the subway through The Bronx to New Rochelle
and Port Chester, made application to cross above
and under the grade Of certain streets in Pei
ham Manor The lawyers for the railway cor
poration said that the village authorities had
this week approved Of their application for a
franchise.
The application was opposed by a number of
property owners claiming to own large tracts
of land adjoining the proposed route. Their at
torneys demanded that the railway company
submit maps showing the subway's exact route
and at what points it intends to the streets
Of the Manor.
The company has taken the ground that It
cannot give the values of the land to be ac-
qured for right of way. Justice Keogh adjourned
the hearing until Monday April 16
Similar opposition TO the company has de-
veloped in New Rochelle, where the residents
of Home Park have retained counsel to look out
for their interests. They fear that the railway
company intends to build through the park and
ruin the property there.
