TERMINAL RAILWAY FIGHT.
Big Struggle in Chicago With the b.
& 0. rs Principal Factor.

Chicago, April 5.-The fight for the
properties of the Chicago Terminal
Railway company is now on. The prop
erty has been in the hands of a receiver
for some time and measures were adopt
ed recently to foreclose the mortgage of
Sis, 900. 000 which is the bonded indebt-
edness of the company. The property is
advertised to be sold May 8, 1907
March 30 the Baltimore & Ohio and
Chicago Railroad company and the Bal
tirnore & Ohio Railroad company filed a
petition in the United States circuit
court asking leave to assume the bond
ed Indebtedness of the company of $15,-
900 900 and accrued interest for two
years. This would give the Baltimore e.
Ohio interests complete possession of
the property and 1t would be in a posi-
ton to GUST all other tenants except the
Chicago Great Western, which is op-
Grating under a contract made prior to
the mortgage and cannot be disturbed.
The Baltimore & Ohio interests claim
their action is simply one Of self protec-
ton, as under their contract, the new
owners of the property will have the
option of taking over or rejecting the
lease under which the terminals are be-
ing sold
The terminal company takes a differ
ent view of the matter and yesterday
through Jesse r. Barton general at
torney. filed an answer to the petition
asking the court to deny the plea of
the Baltimore s. Ohio on the ground
that if it is allowed to assume the en-
tire bonded indebtedness it will have
tendency to stife competition when the
property is offered for sale and to
strengthen the plea, it is asserted the
property is worth much in excess of the
bonded Indebtedness.
