In the latter event we stand ready to take

to be q very profitable one.

Receiver for the Washington. Arlington and Falls
Church Railroad
the firm of Moore, Barbour & Keith legal
representatives of the railroad company,
declared a receivership was necessary to
continue the operation of tie line in the
face of threatened insolvency. He said
the receiver would be supposed to satisfy
the mortgages and other claims against
the company in the order of the dates they
We're entered as liabilities of the corpOra-
ton.
Severe criticism of the action of the COM
pany in securing receivership was voiced
this morning by r. c. l.. Moncure. attorney
Tor a number of the persons who were in
jured in the recent wreck near Fort Myer
MIR. Moncure declared his belief that this
latest step was taken by the company sole
ly for the purpose Of further hammerine
down the claims for damages of the vic
tins of the collision
Plans of the Receiver
To a Star reporter today Maj Hine stated
that a receiver being officer of the court
must necessarily conserve the interests of
all parties concerned, and that his policy
will be developed along lines of harmony
and good will. He also stated that all
possible consideration will be extended to
individuals and the public. The most press
ing problem, in his estimation, from an
operating viewpoint is the securing of bet
Ter electric current 10 proper the cars. he
feels that If the public will be patient for
few weeks the situation can be materially
improved. He declined to enter into an
extended account of his tentative plans,
remarking that current, or Juice as the
men call it, Is much more desira BILE as a
remedy than hot air.
Maj Hine further stated that the policy
will be continued of recruiting employees
from the line of the road.
