Freeze Out Game is Alleged by
Stockholders in Company
at Chicago.

BULK OF STOCK HELD BY NEW

THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO
DISLODGE CHICAGO MEN.

Chicago. Oct. 29.-Cyrus Fl. Nc
Cormick and number of other hold
ers of stock in the North Chicago
City Railway company and the Chi
cago West Division Railway company
have filed motions for permission to
file petitions in the United States cir
cult court allowing them to intervene
in the proposed settlement OF the
traction problem in this city. The
two street car companies mentioned
form the basis of the Chicago Union
Traction company, which operates the
street cars on the north and west
sides of the city. The bulk of the
stock of this company is owned In
New York and it is claimed by the
Chicago holders that the New York
owners are trying to freeze out" all
OF the local interests. One petition
is filed by Cyrus H. Mccormick and
John F. Bass, representatives Of the
stockholders of the Chicago City Rail
way company, and the other is by
John F. Bass, Nettie F. Mccormick
and the other stockholders OF the di-
vision company.
The petitions. after citing the steps
by which the Union Traction company
became the owner of the two street
car companies and of the later ap-
pointment of receiver for all of
them for all creditors bills. argues
as follows:
Although said bills were filed os-
tensibly as creditors bills, no attempt
has been made in three and one-half
years to realize on the assets of the
defendant companies. Your petition

allowd the lines of railway to deter

bad service. In their negotiations
with the city council OF Chicago they
have so conducted themselves as to
incur the i'll will of the representa-
tives of the city government and of
the general public. Instead OF enter
ing into operating agreements with
the city on fair terms te the city, they
have endeavored to coerce the city
into granting terms which would yield
a return not only on the money actu-
ally invested. but also on the ficti-

A DAY INDEED OF REST AND
QUIET RECREATION.
ABSENCE OF CAROUSERS
Citizens of Indian Territory Towns
Do not Believe Liquor the Infu-
ence Essential to Growth and Pros
perity-Bootleggers Given the Elk
IRENE Limit.
From a private letter.

| Those of the north who still look
upon Indian Territory as frontier
country would be surprised at pre-
yailing conditions if they could spend
Sunday in any one of the prosperous
villages or cities there. l was two
Sundays last month in Ardmore, the
metropolis in population and com
merce of the territory, and the quiet
and order that prevailed, the COM
plete absence of the Objectionable
features of a wide-open town, i'm
pressed me beyond everything else.
All the cities are dry, absolutely and
decently. More than that, the stores
in Ardmore were closed all day. Bar
Der shops were not open. The man
who needed new tie or fresh collar
had to get along as best he might I'M
til Monday. Real estate Offices were
not opened, although the land bust
ness is a leading occupation. Few
were on the streets, except before
and after church services. There
were no street corner loafers. There
was not an arrest and no evidence of
anything that would call for trip
to the lookup. During the afternoon
there was much driving, but that was
family affair. No vaudeville per-
Torrance was on, in fact there is no
provision in the civilization Of Ard
more for that form of entertainment.
Occasionally a bootlegger is over
taken with liquor; but the speedy and
inconsiderate justice with which his
capture is followed leaves little en-
couragement for others engaged in
the business. The express company
sometimes is raided, usually on Sat-
urday afternoon. While l was there
the United States marshal visited the
Office of the Wells, Fargo & Co. ex-
press company and hauled away
load of mysterious packages. Some
were marked "corsets,' others
pickles." ETC., but the marshal had
discerning eye and made no mistake.
When these bundles were opened each
was found to contain bottle which
was promptly smashed on the rock
pile at the rear of the federal court

The best of all is, the people there

They say that if the liquor interests
in congress defeat the 21-year prohi-
bition clause in the statehood bill,

And the town is not dead. A city
can be built and made to prosper
without drunkenness, as is proven by
Ardmore. The federal census of
1900 gave the city $500 population;
the 5-year census of 1905 showed
more than $4,000. All this without

tises to the world that it is dry and

want whiskey may go elsewhere.
There may be a lesson in this for
older and more staid communities.

Lady Eleanor was happy, and, I'M
like a great many persons, was not
ashamed to admit that she was.
why should I be ashamed or try
to hide my joy?" she said to Lady
DENLY, who remarked her niece's high
spirits and her evident satisfaction
with her own condition and the world
in general.
"And Yorke is very happy, too?"
said Lady Eleanor, after pause. "As
you say, men don't go about as if
they were dancing to music, as we
women do, and they don't sing as we
do. And-and if Yorke is not boist-

that the end of the general debate
on the railroad rate bill would be-
come apparent before the end of the
present week and that then an agree
ment upon a day for a vote could be
reached The statement was made
in response to a request by Senator
Tillman for such an agreement.
There was no other discussion of the
rate bill during the day. The SEES
sion was almost entirely devoted to
consideration of the conference re-
port on the bill providing for final
settlement of the affairs of the five
civilized tribes of Indians.
After nearly three days of general
debate, with the postOffice appropria
ton bill as the vehicle for discussion
of wide range of subjects, the
house reached consideration Of the
bill itself. There were a number of
lively debates during the day but lit
