DENIAL MADE BY BRADFORD

PRESIDENT OF THE C, 0. & L. DENOUNCES STORY OF DEAL.

HE SHOWS THE CONSPIRACY

Morgan Who Controlled the Monon, Had Reason for Killing the C, C. & L. System.

W. A. Bradford, nresident of the

C.f C. & L., takes positive exceptions to the statements made by the attorneys representing the Pere Marquette, during the Nashville hearing. When seen at Cincinnati, he said: . "My sworn answer to the court states emphatically that I was not, nor were any of my associates, a member of either the Pere Marquette or the C, II. & D. directorates, nor was any member of the directorates of either of those roads or the members members of the socalled C.f II. & D. syndicate, a member of the C, C. & L. board of direc

tors until alter the U. & JL. had

been purchased by the Pere Mar- j quette. Neither myself nor any of my associates in the C, C. & L. owned a share of either of the Pere Marquette or C, II. & D. stock until after the C, C. & L. had been purchased by 'the Pere Marquette. "Does it not seem rather queer to intelligent people that a body of business men would assume the .$G,G00,000 underlying bonds of the C, C. & L., ami issue $3,500,000 more bonds to purchase the road, making a tom 1 t ,t. r m aa AAA

iai or .?iu,iuu,uuu in order to get a subscription of $625,000 for stoc(k? The same people owned the Pere Marquette and the C, H. & D., and it would be foolish to presume that a set of men would assume an obligation of $10,100,000 just to , secure $625,000." Mr. Bradford was emphatic in his statements, and said it would be proved in the courts that if the C, C. & L. had operated to Chicago in the manner that had been provided

for by the C, C. & L., not only would the road have paid expenses, but it would have netted a handsome profit. "Hut," said he, "this was not in Jine with the plans that had been mapped out, and it would have affected the business of the Monon, which is a Morgan property."

JEW TICKETS

ARE POPULAR

INTERURBAN LINES ISSUE THEM FOR INTERLINE TRAFFIC.

ARE Oil SALE III RICHMOND

Patrons Who Travel to Any Extent Appreciate the Convenience That Is Given.

Interline tickets good over all connecting Indiana and Ohio electric lines, have been issued, and are now on sale in Richmond to the great convenience of that part of the traveling public which depends on interurban cars. This is a new move in traction development a move, how

ever, that is meeting with populor sanction. A person may how purchase from Richmond or any other point, a longdistance or circuit ticket, covering a number of electric lines, and travel almost any distance with his transportation in his pocket, merely stepping from one car to another when ehansrini? lines without being? com-

pelled to stop and buy separate tick

ets. Each road is represented by a

separate counon. which the conduc-

tor. tears off just as is done on the;

steam railroads. The increasing

popularity of the intemrban ser

vice made this new arrangement de

sirable. - .

Traction official feel confident that

the interline ticket will aid in devel

oping their business. It stands to reason, they argue that if the system has proved satisfactory and beneficial to steam Qflds it will prove equally so to the electric lines. The adoption of the ticke , is considered another, step in the fight that - the interurbans are waging against the steam roads.

HAVE MADE NO BID FOR PLANT

MANAGER WEATHERBY .SAYS HIS COMPANY NEVER APPROACHED MAYOR.

WOULD BUY IT HOWEVER

Old Light Company Don't Want Competition From an Outside Source as Rumored.

Before leaving yesterday for New York E. E. Weatherby, general manager of the United Gas & Electric Company, stated this concern, act ing for the Richmond Light, Heat & Power Company, had never submitted a proposition to the" city for buying the Municipal Lighting and Power plant. Mr. Weatherby said that last Tuesday morning when he read in the Palladium that $250,000 had been offered for the city plant and that the Light, Heat and Power Company were thought to be the bidders, he was as greatly surprised as any other citizen who read the news. . Mr. Weatherby said that he was at a loss to know who the parties were who desired to secure the plant, but that if the offer was bona fide, and the Municipal property was np for sale, he would not be surprised if the company he represented would bet come bidders. i

The Richmond Light, Heat and Power Company has decided on plans for the general improvement of its plant, which will cost in the neighborhood of $45,000. Contracts for the improvements will be let as soon as bids have been received at the home office of the company in New York. It is expected that the work of improvement .will be started by the first of June. . The plant will not be enlarged, as it is amply big enough for the business of the concern, but the boilers now in use will be disposed of and new boilers, costing $33,000 will be put in. New and morern machinery will be placed in the plant. Plajns for this machinery are in the hands of E. E. Weatherby, general manager of the

company, who left yesterday forNew York where hewill submit them to the main office of the company. Mr. Weatherby states that the United " Gas and Electric Company is well satisfied with the outlook, for business in this city and the local branch of the concern will be placed

in first class condition so that an active campaign will be inauguarted as soon as the improvements on' the plant are completed. The company will also build additional lines to all parts of the city, making its service complete.
