URGES REGARD FOR LAW
atlantic Mutual Insurance Co. Head
Upholds Presidents Trust Plans.
THE LUSITANIA.

Anton A. Raven, president OF the Atlantic Mu
tual Insurance Company is one of the pronl-
nent in the financial district who believe
that great good to the country will result from
the administrators insistence upon compliance
with the law by corporations. Mr.. Raven said
yesterday to Tribune reporter:
The gravest menace to the welfare of the
United States to-day is the general disregard for
law and authority. This feeling of contempt Is
manifested on every side. You can find
familiar example in the daily crush at the
Brooklyn Bridge. where the rights Of individuals
and the reasonable regulations Of the railway
company alike are ignored; or on the trolley
cars. where men smoke although the posted
rules forbid smoking. The frequency of lynch
ings and the violence accompanying many
strikes are proof OF the same tendency
President Roosevelt has been severely criti-
cised for his policy of prosecuting corporations
which the Department of Justice has reason to
believe have broken the laws. and it may be
that in the carrying out of that policy hardship
may have been worked in some instances. But
when the time arrives. IN years TO come. for a
dispassionate Judgment to be formed OF the acts
of the present national administration, that
Judgment will, l believe, be that the policy OF
Mr. Roosevelt regarding corporations resulted in
vastly more beneft>than harm; and high credit
will be awarded him for his successful effort 10
compel obedience TO the law on the part of pow
erful combinations of capital, to proceed against
which has required the exercise Of no ordinary
degree of courage. In forcing the corporations
to respect the law, President Roosevelt has
given an impressive and much needed lesson TO
the poor as well the rich"
What do you think of the business outlook
here and abroad?'' asked
The situation will correct itself. both in this
country and in Europe" answered Mr.. Raven.
81 don't believe that we to have long con-
tinued period of severe business depression. The
present check should be welcomed. for If the
imitation Of values and expansion Of business
had not been stopped there would before long
have come an explosion compared with which,
for disastrous results, the bursting OF the South
Sea bubble would appear a trife"

TRACTION CASE UNDONE.
Federal Court ReUerSes Decision of
Judge Grosscup in Chicago.

Chicago Sept. THE order recently entered
by Judge Grosscup in the United States Circuit
Court, directing the receivers Of the Union
Traction Company. which operates the street
car systems on the North and West sides Of
the city. TO turn these properties over 10 new
CORPORATION called the Chicago Railways Com
pany for twenty years. was reversed to-day by
the United States Court Of Appeals
The decision of the higher court remands the
case TO the United States Circuit Court and
leaves the traction situation where IT was be-
fore the formation Of the Chicago Railways
Company It was the opinion of the Court OF
Appeals that Judge Grosscup had no power to
give possession to the Chicago Railways Com
pany without the consent or the bondnoioeFs
and stockholders Of the underlying companies
and that the only manner in which the railways
company can get possession OF the traction
properties is through negotiations with the
stockholders and the bondholders.
The City Council passed an ordinance some
time ago granting TO the Chicago Raii"ayS
company the right TO operate the streetcar
e,s+en,s on the North and West sides Of the
city. This ordinance, in the opinion of Justice
F9rever OF the United States Supreme Court.
who read the decision, fair and should
have been put in operation The court heId'
however that the wisdom OF such declsloh'
or even public necessity from business point
Of view. could not be taken into consideration
as the interests Of the private property holders
were the paramount points at issue.
The action taken by the Court OF Appeals
hinged entirely on the question Of Jurisdiction
The power of Judge Grosscup to issue the or
der In favor OF the Chicago Railways Company
was the only thing assailed. The opinion or
Tudpe Brewer praised the wisdom OF the or
der issued by Judge Grosscup. but declared that
legally II was wrong
The ordinance passed by the City Council in
favor Of the Chicago Railways Company has
never been formally accepted by that corpora
ton. and as the time for its acceptance ex-
nires by limitation September IA, it will be
impossible for the company to obtain possession
of the properties by negotiation with the stock
holders ard bondEolders by that time. The
entire traction situation, therefore, reverts to
the period when the properties were held by re-
ceiyers and before the proposed unification or
the North and West side lines was contem-
plated.
