brothers won distinction mt the bar.
John served in the congress and was
afterward member OF the court Of ap.
peals OF Maryland. Albert, the other
brother. served upon the supreme
bench of Baltimore. Their father was
physician. Among his regular pa.
tients was Barbara Fritchie. Whit.
tiers heroine. and he served as execu.
tor of her estate.
William Richie also has earned dis.
tinguished place among lawyers of
first order. His victory In the lead.
ing cases of Fowler vs. Equitable
Trust Company, but one Of many of
his cases before the Supreme Court
OF the United States, induced the
Roosevelt family of New York to re.
tain him as counsel, and ever since
such first employment he has acted In
that capacity for the family. He rep.
resented the estate Of Samuel ]. TIL.
den and william B. Ogden In litigated
cases involving hundreds of thou.
sands, and In every case he gained
favorable decision. One of these cases
was brought by powder manufactur.
ers, and is known as Du Pont vs.
Ogden.
In the famous struggle OF 1S9S-1s99
of the combined street railways of Chi.
cago, under the lead of Charles +,
Yerkes, to capture fifty.year fran.
chise from the city council Mr..
Ritchie rendered invaluable service to
the peoples cause by his unceasing
labors in the press and upon the
stump. He eXhaustively Investigated
and presented facts and elaborate fig
ures as to the economic and legal, as
well as the political, questions in
volved, and his labors threw unpre.
cedented light upon the subject. A
day was set apart by both houses of
the Illinois Legislature for the pur-
pose of hearing Mr.. Ritchie's discus
sion of the question.
In reference to Mr.. Ritchie's labors
in the popular cause upon this occa-
sion The Chicago Daily Journal of
February 27. 1899, said:
"The fact Is no man who ever ap.
peared in Springfield. not even Baron
Yerkes himself, has made such an i'm.
preston on the legislature as has Mr.
Ritchie. The beautiful part about II
all Is that he had no selfish motive In
coming, that he had no connection on
either side of the great fight-in short
that he was just plain William
Richie, citizen
"Mr. Richie, from the standpoint oi
a student, has made the street rail
way problem a study. He stated facts
not what he believed, nor what ought
to be, or what he would like to see
but what Is and was.
"Mr. Ritchie (unlike Mr.. Yerkes)
appeared as William Ritchie. citizen.
with no axes to grind, and no motive
whatever other than to place facts
and light before the men who were

Tho Telephone Trust has com.
menced a bitter and an uncalled for
attack on the Mayor and honest alder.
men Of the city Of Chicago who are
fighting for the peoples rights against
a heartless monopoly.
The Telephone Trust is opposed to
the honest, capable and efficient serv.
ice that Mr.. ]. Ogden Armour and his
colleagues are prepared to give to the
city with their automatic service.
The Telephone Trust has changed
managers in Chicago and has decided
to throw dirt upon honest men in the
city government who oppose Its DOM
ineering and extortionate methods.
The Illinois Tunnel Company mas
fully complied with the terms Of iss
ordinance and yet the grafters union
is not satisfied.
II wants the Illinois Tunnel Com
pany which has expended over $780,
900 In instruments, wires and station
equipments, to be forced to give up
all OF this to satisfy the Telephone
Trust.
