RAIL MAGNATES IN
THREE L SCANDAL


Chicago, Feb. 10. Sensational
charges involving Theodore r. shonts.
Paul Morton, Robert Mather, JOY Nor
ton and william g. Brown. in connec-
ton with the sale several years ago OF
the Three r. railroad running from
Streator, H., to South Bend. Ind. are
set forth In a brief filed in the APPELLATE
court
The charge is made that Mr.. Brown,
now president Of the New York Central
lines, through manipulation of the traf-
fic OF the Three T. and the roads sub
sequent sale, obtained the start that
placed him in his present commanding
position.
Possessed of nothing except his SAL
airy as a railroad official and $4,000 in
debt at that time. the allegation runs,
he shared in profit of S4,750,000 d.
vided among the five men named.
Shonts Made a Target.
Aiming at Mr.. shonts, the brief
charges that, although son-in law of
the then owner OF the Three i, - Fran
els M. Drake, he used his position as
general manager OF the road to aid in
the manipulation alleged to have been
engineered by Mr.. Brown for the profit
of himself and his colleagues and to
Mr.. brakes loss.
All of the men accused are defend
ants in a suit filed several years ago
by the late Attorney John S. Cooper
for 100000 for services alleged to have
been rendered them in the transactions
alleged. The lower court dismissed the
suit on the ground that the petition
failed to set forth the dates on which
the services were alleged to have been
rendered. The death of Mr.. Cooper hav-
ing occurred before this decision. the
administrator of his estate,\ Otto
Gresham, was unable to obtain the
dates required. The brief filed by
Warren B. Wilson, counsel for Mr..
Gresham, maintains that the lower
court erred, inasmuch as "the SER
vices are well known to these defend-
ants"
These Charges Set Out.
In the brief are set forth these allie
cations:
That while Mr. Brown was vice pres
ident OF the Lake Shore G. Michigan
Southern, he. with the, aid of the
others, diverted the traffic of the
Three T. until che property was so
deprecated that they were enabled to
purchase it for $3,000,000, it's capital
Stock being s6,O00,0OO, with 81, 1000, 900
in the treasury and s5.OO0,O0O issued.
That 100000 of the earnings of the
Three l." ,accruing through rebates,
and of which Mr.. Drake had no knowl-
edge, was secreted, and afterward APP
piled on the purchase price paid to
Mr.. Drake, and that the remaining 81
100000 necessary was borrowed from
Redmond, Kerr & Co... New York bank
ers, with the stock of the Three T.
pledged as security.
That Mr.. Drake out of the $1,000
600, was compelled to pay the $1.sOO,000
bonded Indebtedness of the road Al
That after the traffic was restored
to the Three l." the roads's value in
creased until it was sold by the de-
PENDANTS to the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern for s575O,Oo0.
