HoYNE READY TO FIGHT THE
SAM INSULT CROWD

Sam insult and the elevated rail-
road combine are making their last
play now to stop States Atty Hoyne
from throwing a searchlight into
their get-rich-quick finance.
Hoyne's assistants in the Union
Elevated railroad case, Glenn Plumb
and Donald Richberg, got word today
that Isham, Lincoln & Beale, attor-
neys for insult, will argue before the
supreme court for rehearing.
If this rehearing is refused, then
along next July Chicago can get
ready to see lid torn off elevated rail-
road finance.
81 am going through on this case,"
said Hoyne today, when asked about
it by a Day Book reporter. "Only
one thing could lead us to drop the
suit. That would be a decisive COM
mand from the city council or other
recognized city authority. Barring
any such action, l shall press this
suit.
"Ibelieve we have evidence to show
that more than 35,00O,000 of the
capitalization of the elevated roads is
fictitious. 1t will be a healthy and
wholesome proceeding for the citi-
zens of Chicago to know more about
the basis and the fabric of finance
back of the elevated companies"
Donald Richberg said the supreme
court grants rehearing on less than
2 per cent of cases, and as the ele-
waited roads cases stand, the chances
are that in June the court will refuse
rehearing. Then early in July Hoyne
and his staff will go to bat with the
biggest organized corporate powers
in Chicago.
The case is just about a thousand
times bigger in significance than has
been played up by the newspapers.
The newspaper connections are clear.
VIM. G. Beale, attorney for insult, is
controlling trustee of the Tribune es-
tate, also attorney for the Tribune.

when the case comes to trial.
said Richberg, ''it will be shown that
in 1911 an association known as the
Chicago Elevated Railways, purport-
ing to exist under the laws of Massa-
chusetts and controlled by Henry A.
Blair, Ira Cobe and Samuel insult,
purchased more than SO per cent of
all the capital stock of all the ele-
waited railways in Chicago. They en-
tered into negotiations with the CITY
council looking toward merger of ele-
waited with surface street railways.
the latter also controlled by Blair, In
sui and Cobe.
"a commission was appointed to
valuate all the elevated railway prop
critics. They fixed the value at S52,-
100000. This was understood to rep
resent the actual amount expended in
money, labor and property for the
construction of the elevated roads.
blair, Cobe and insult claimed the
properties were worth $35,00O,OOO
more, over and above $52,O0O,0OO.
They asked the city council to make
lawful this additional $35, 100000 of
capitalization.
'"These and similar methods of
finance will be dealt with in the evil
dence of the trial. Overcapitaliza-
ton of the elevated railways has long
been a scandal in the community. I'm
til 1911 the facts were concealed to
some extent by false and misleading
reports issued by the companies. The
full extent of the wrong to the public
will become better known"
