RECEIVERS APPOINTED
FOR NEW YORK RAILWAY
Certain Lines of Big Metropolitan
System Fail to Earn Enough
to Pay Charges and
Dividends

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. A.-Federal Judge
Lacombe here today appointed Adrian
Joline ard Douglas Robinson receivers
for the New York City Railway COM
pany on joint application OF creditors
and officials of the company.
The New York City Railway company
is one of the numerous corporations
formed in the various mergers of trac-
ton and subway lines in this city.
The New York City Railway company
guarantees certain dividends on Metro
poitan street railway stocKs. These div
idends amount to about s3.640,000 a year
and 1t is estimated that the street rail-
ways base fallen s2,000,0O0 a year short
Of earnings required to pay the dividends.
Ever since the consolidation of the sur
face lines, elevated and subway lines, in
this city under the name of the Inter
urban Metropolitan company it has been
understood that the subway and elevated
lines were more than holding their own
but that the surface lines operated by
the Metropolitan Interborough were not
earning their fixed charges and dividends.

| Py Associated Press.
VICTORIA, B. c.. Sept. M.-Local Chi.
nese have determined to ascertain what
rights the provisions in the Dominion
law in regard to students entering Cap
ada as a student gives them. AS the law
reads a Chinese entering Canada as a
student mdst pay the usual head tax OF
$500, which, however, he can get back
at the end of the year by presenting a
certificate that he attended school for
that length of time.
Several new arrivals applied to the
school board recently for permission to
attend classes, but were refused admit
lance, the board holding that the press
ence in the classes of Orientals not able
to talk English would affect the progress
of the whole class.
The only other alternative was to fit
up a separate class room with a spe-
cial teacher for the Chinese. This the
board did not feel disposed to de. The
Chinese have given notice of legal ac-
ton to force the board to admit them
to the schools. The provincial govern
ment will defend the case for the city
school board.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept. 24.-The in
fiux of Chinese here is a serious matter.
One section of the press is urging the
government to take steps to prevent their
landing here as being detrimental to local
trades. Kingston city council has adopted
a resolution calling on the government
to amenI the pauper alien immigration
law so as to prohibit the entrance of
undesirable foreigners. The resolution
is aimed at the Chinese and Syrians, who,

TRAIN JAM IN GOTHAM.
Change in Operation of New York Cen
trail 1nterurban Causes Conges-
tion and Delay.

NEW YORK, Aug. pa change in
the operation of trains on the New York
Central railway SO as to run trains on
the right hand track instead of the left
hand track today caused extraordinary
congestion and delay of trains within the
electric zone.
The change was put into effect yes
terday when traffic was light and its
operated we'll enough until the rush of
commuters into New York from their
homes along the Harlem division began
today. Engineers and conductors were
instructed to use great care to avoid &C
cidents and were given fifteen minutes
leeway from their schedules, but that
was far from being enough.
The greatest congestion was between
the Harlem river and the Grand Central
station. where for two miles the tracks
run either over a viaduct or through
the tunnel beneath Park avenue. Trains
were stalled all the way from the sta
ton to the river. and passengers after
waiting in vain for the roads officials to
break the block. left the trains wherever
possible and completed their trip to their
offices by elevated, subway or trolley.
Unfamiliarity with the operation OF
the new plan was the cause OF the de-

Saloon Escapes.

CHICAGO, H., Aug 26.-The neigh
borhood of North Clark and Kinzie
streets, dominated by John +. y Malley's
saloon and gambling house. was shaken
by tremendous explosion of nitro-gly-
cerine or dynamite at 5:15 o'clock yes
terday morning. Windows in three big
buildings along Kinzie street were shat
tered and two men We're thrown down
and injured by the conclusion.
The explosion from all appearances
marked the second attempt within
month to wreck O'Malley's place. 1t is
another chapter in the story of the reign
of terror in the present gamblers war.
1t is the opinion of the police that the
men who threw the explosive were the
same gang of eX-constables and crimi-
mails who have been using this desperate
method to force themselves back on the
pay roll of the big gambling syndicates,
from which they were separated a few
months ago.
Either through an accident, through
mistake of the buildings, or because
of fright, the soup" throwers got into
the wrong basement. O'Malley's place
was about the only one on the north
side Of kinzie street that escaped dam
age. The explosive was thrown in a
basement entrance identical in appear
ance with O'Malley's, but leading into
the gashtters' workshop of the Car

FOREIGNER LANDS IN A BARREL.

NEW YORK, Aug. 26. - Hyiian
Masowvitch, a Russian, who fed from
outrages in his country, has had the I'M
usual experience of being landed on
American soil in a tightly headed bar
rel. When on his way to America
Masowvitch met with an accident in
which he lost an eye. Informed that he
would be deported because of this defect
he called on friends, and they made III
a purse and offered it to one of the
petty officers of the ship to land him.
The officer, knowing the circumstances,
prepared a barrel. and as the steamship
was going up New York bay boat was
lowered containing the barrel which con
tanned Masowvitch The boats crew
pulled ashore at Hoboken, rolled the
barrel on land and returned to their yes
sci. A few days afterward the Rus
sian appeared in Waterbury, where
friends were wondering about his safety.

The Roupell Mystery

the judge, Il think sufficiently explains
why you did not retire to sleep. You
were the invited guest of Madame Rou-
pell, and occupied the room shown you.
BY the by, at which door did you go into
Madame Roupell's room? The one which
led to it from your chamber"
'Oh, no, monsieur, that was locked. l
had first to go into the corridor"
THAT will do, Monsieur Chabot. YOU
can CO." said the judge. and the French
man, considerably relieved, bowed and
retired
The servants were then called, and they
swore positively that none of them had
admitted Van Lith into the chateau, and
had no knowledge of his being there until
they saw him in Nine. Roupell's cham
Der. The project here stated his discov-
cry of the bruised vine leaves, and the
open window, and gave it as his opinion
that the entry had been there effected.
The examination of the local physi-
clan and DR.. Paul Mason then followed.
They both testified that Nine. Roupell
had died from the effects of a pistol bull
let entering the base of the brain. This
concluding the proceedings, the judge of
instruction then committed Van Lith to
the prison of La Mazas.
Shall l keep Monsieur Jules Chabot
under surveillance" asked the project,
when all had retired.
Il see no occasion for it, replied NJ
Bertrand. He may be fool but he
doesn't look like a murderer
But Victor Lablanche still adhered OBJ
st1nately to the opinion that NJ. Chabot
would bear watching. Slipping from the
room he instructed one of his most relia-
bic secret agents to keep him in sight I'M
til further orders. He had said nothing
about his discovery of the open door. He
would keep that to himself. 1t might
lead perhaps to one of those grand coups
for which he was so famous.
Another thing the project was dissatis-
fed with. Upon the certificate of the ply
sicians that the Miles, Weldon were pros
trated by the death of their aunt, they
had not been summoned before the tri-
bunal-though later they would probably
be called upon to testify. The project
considered this as ill-timed leniency, but
there was no help for it. The certificate
of so famous a physician as DIR. Paul
Mason had its weight with the judge Of
instruction.
