MOVE A FRIENDLY ONE
Westinghouse People Explain the Wa
bash Receivership.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 19-The appoint
ment of a receiver for the Wabash road
at ST. Louis is of particular interest
to Pittsburg and the surrounding coun-
try because the Wabash has stock
ownership of the -Pittsburg
Terminal railroad, the West Side Belt
railroad and the Wheeling & Lake Erie
railroad These companies have been
in the hands of receivers for some
time, and an effort at reorganization
is being made by the committee of first
mortgage bondho,ders. under the lead
ership of James c. Chaplin, president
of the Colonial Trust company of Pitts
burg.
Mr. Chaplain departed for Chicago
last night, when he learned of the re-
ownership, and it is said an important
conference is being held there today.
An official of the Wabash ittsbure
company, who would not allow the use
of his name, said the only interest the
Wabash now had in the important and
expensive properties in and around
Pittsburg was under litigation and the
stock ownership had been practically
wiped out.
W D. Uptegraff of the WESTINGHOUSE
interests in Pittsburg, said the action
of the Westinghouse Air Brake com
pany in applying for a receiver for the
Wabash railroad was in accorda nee
with plans of interests friendly to +h~
Wabash. Vice President H II West
inghouse, of the westinghouse com
pany, is in charge of the matter for
that corporation, but he is in New
York today

London. Dec. 19=Dr. NJ. S. Levy of
san Francisco is the most recent suf-
ferer in an encounter with the Russian
barriers against the admission OF Jews
The rabbi is now in London on
world tour which is to last several
months, and he has found that he can
not get his passports endorsed in order
that he may travel in Russia in the
same way as American citizens not OF

THE Russian ambassador told VIII

can embassy in London, who present
ed my passports to him to be vised,
that he regretted that he was unable
to endorse the passport of Jew.
said Dr. Levy. "The ambassador add
ed that he advised me to telegraph
to the Russian minister of the interior,
setting forth my case and to prepay
the reply. I do not think I want to
set foot in that detestable, tyrannical
country, and certainly I shall not waste
a cent in preparing replies from Rus
sian officials.
Il thought it would be interesting to
test the rights of American citizens in
Russia. particularly as I have a letter
from the state departm ent commend
ing me to American officials abroad
