Corporation Counsel Ellison
Brings Action to Have
Nine Franchises
Annulled.
CONSOLIDATED MAKES
PUBLIC STATEMENT
Charges of Monopoly Are Denied.
Incident Promises to Develop a
Red Hot Legal Battle State
and City May Combine
in One Fight.

New York. May 2S.-A suit 70
compel the Consolidated Gas COM
pany and eight other gas companies
doing business in this city to relin-
quish their franchises and to take
from them all permits to use the
streets, was begun in the supreme
court today by Corporation Counsel
Ellison, on behalf of the city.
Consolidated Makes Statement.
The following statement was issued
last night in behalf of the Consolidat-
ed Gas company, referring to the ac-
ton brought by Attorney General
Jackson to annul the company's fran
chses:
ut can scarcely be charged against
the Consolidated Gas company that
it is maintaining a monopoly and
thus affecting gas prices, for the sim
pie reason that the price of gas and
likewise the price of electricity is
fixed by the state. In a case brought
by VIM. r. Hearst before the late
John Cuneen, attorney general, Mr..
Cuneen decided that so far as the
New York city gas companies were
concerned no charge could lie that
these companies in any way infringed
the anti-monopoly laws.
Makes Reference to Former Com
panies.
so far as the franchises of the
New York city gas companies are
concerned, all one has to do is to re-
| fer to the case of the People eX rel.
New York & Richmond Gas Co. agt
Cromwell, SO Appellate Division, 291
which had been furnishing gas since
1856 in a territory which, by opera
| ton of the Greater New York char
ter of 1897, became a part of the city
of New York, and which applied to
| the commissioner of gas and elec-
| tricity for a permit to open certain
streets not previously occupied"
Company Used Streets without q
Franchise.
The statement went oneto say that
application was denied BY the COM
| missioner on the ground that the
| franchise did not include these
streets, but the court held that since
the other town officials had not ques-
| toned the right of the highway COM
rnissioners, the presum ption was that
the validity of its franchises has
| been recognized by this state in as
! sessing them and by the city in col
| lecting taxes on them.
Ellison Makes Statement.
Corporation Counsel Ellison stated
| last night that he would continue
with the proceedings that he had
started, irrespective of the action of
/ the attorney general. but, should the
court maintain the contentious Of the
| latter the two actions might be

Edward Bdgley. Boy Broker
Is No Longer Taken as
a Joke by the
Exchange.
FREDERICK LEWIS CALLOW
YOUTH MAKES $4,000
Three Other Youngsters Add
approximately 100000 to
Their Bank Accounts in the
Recent Rise of the Bread
Stuff Market.

Chicago. May 2S.--Dollar wheat
made comfortable fortunes for at
least two of the youngest members
of the board of trade. besides adding
largely TO the wealth of the big op-
orators. Edward Bagley the boy
broker" who became known as one
of the practical jokers of the board
last fall, is credited with dragging
out from 100000 to 100000. He
does not tell definitely, but says
calmly; 20, l cleaned up about
$4,000 or So" Bagley began life in
the business world as a messenger.
Hardly five years ago young Bag
ley was engaged in marking up quo
tations with a piece of chalk on the
board of the brokerage firm of A. o.
Slaughter & co. Before that ne
went to school. Now, at an age
when most young mel have not yet
completed their studies, he is pre-
pairing to do things to the markets.
Youngsters Unusually Fortunate.
Another "youngster" who made a
fortune out of wheat in fewer days
than it takes many men years to ac-
quire wealth, is Frederick Lewis, q
member who admits taking $4,000
out of the market, but who is said to
have cleaned up" more than $780,
600 i'm a sew days.
Never before in the history of the
board, members say, have the youne
men figured so largely. The frs
time that the boy broker" became
known on the floor was last fall
when all the brokers were lyins
around listlessly because of the dull
ness of the markets. Young Bagley
decided to start something somehow
and, being unable to start a corner
he sprinkled red pepper and Jap
anese snuff over the floor.
Bagley's Practical joke.
1t was not many minutes before
the floor was the scene of the wild
est excitement Brokers began tC
sneeze so hard that they had to leave
the building for relief An investi-
cation followed and Bagley confessed
Walter Fitch, then president of the
board, ordered the boy" barred from
the floor for several days because OF
his prank.
Another big winner is Earl O'Neil
who several years ago earned his liv-
ing by pounding a telegraph key
Now it is estimated he is worth al
most 100000, a large part of which
he is said to have made in the las
few years
II. G. Chaplin also was on the righ
side Of the market, and his bank ac'
count now is 100000 larger than il
was few days ago. Dave Roberts
a cousin of Little Bobs." Lord Rob
