Delano, together with Messrs Goelet
 and Krech have been making an in- spection trip over the Wabash system not returned to New York tonight, so
 far as could be learned.
 The Wabash system is one of the
 pioneer railroads built up and devel- oped by Jay Gould and began it's pres ent corporate existence as the Wabash Railroad company in 1889. It now operates a total trackage of 2514 miles,
 one of the longest railroad systems in
 the country. The main lines extend
 from Toledo and Detroit to st. Louis
 Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha and Des
 Moines. The company also has con-
 trolling interest in the Wash Pitts
 burg Terminal railway and the Wheel ing and Lake Erie railway. Its outstanding capital stock amounts in round numbers to S92,000,000, of which $53, 1000 is common and $39,- 000,000 preferred. It has for several years been paying no dividends on either security. Frederick A. Delano has been president of the road since 1905, and until the recent directors
 meeting E. Jeffrey was chairman of the board of directors He was sue- ceeded at this meeting by Winslow s. Pierce.
 Alvin w. Krech, who returned to New York late tonight, said:
 "I do not wish the impression to get abroad that this receivership was brought about by the reorganization company. II is not surprise to us, however, for fl the Westinghouse company had not acted some other company would have stepped in.
 "The connection of Kuhn, Loeb & O. will continue just as arranged by the reorganization committee. We had hoped

 Consciousness

Frederick Goldstein, who vas set Aa f by robbers Saturday night ana efeas injured, is slowly improving aL tha 1cusa Highlands infirmary, and i sAAa last night that his chances tr N 5oeaft were better than they had ofe ahfs day.
 It was stated he has not recovered con sciousness since his entrance to the hos pital, although at times he would try to speak. Once or twice it was thought that he was trying to articulate the word ''ne- gro," but this even was never clearly established.
 The detectives in charge of the case for the police still firmly cling to the theory that his assailants were negroes, and that there were at least two of them. The meat which he was taking home at the time of the assault has never been To- cated, and the detectives have come tc the conclusion that it was dragged off by dogs which might have been prowlins around at the time.

RECEIVERS TAKE
 CHARGE OF WABASH
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ID

------------~---------- ment Since that date the monthly earn ings reported by the company have shown a steady falling off and 1t seemed inevitable in Wall street opinion that steps would have to be taken to finance the company unless it's earnings im- proved.
 The management has been hampered in the operation of the road, accord ing to statements, due to the fact that insufficient funds were not forthcom- ing for adequate maintainence.
 The companys total bonded debt amounts to over 4,000,0 900, and is one of the heaviest per mile of any rail- road in the country. Besides being bur dened by these heavy fixed charges the company a few years ago became involved with heavy obligations in con- nection with the purchase of the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad and tho building of the Wabash Pitrsburg terminal.
 George Gould and the Gould estate are credited with control of the Wa bash system. Recently the banking firm of Kuhn Loeb X Co. was appointed the company's financial agent some what to the surprise of Wall street. No public statement was forthcoming from MT. Gould In connection. with the entrance of the Equitable Trust com pany into It's directorate, but 1t was assumed in Wall street that Mr. Gould acquiesoed in this arrangement

 'I want to say now that I never had any vanity in the authorship of the Rus sian resolution, but I did have some pride in it's phraseology.''
 Secretary Knox announced tonight that the state department had no information to add regarding the treaty. To the form taken by the Recommendation" which is the technical term employed in diplo- macy for the notice of termination of treaty and carries with it no reflection on either party, 1t is believed the Rus sian government can find no ground for offense.
 While it is said to be true that nations have worked in comparative harmony for long periods of time without treaties of trade and navigation, the state depart ment holds that it is extremely impor- tant that business of the volume of that of Russia and the United States shall be done with treaty. Otherwise. Amer ican consuls in Russia would have no legal powers and American shipping might be excluded from Russian ports at the whim of local officials without affording ground for protest. Without a treaty, any American, whether Jew or Gentle, might be excluded.

AGERS SAVES MANY
 LIVES IN WRECK

Kansas City, December 1S.-That the casualties in the collision between two cars on the Kansas City,-Leavenworth electric line at Welcott, Kas., today were only three killed and eight in jured was due to the heroism of Roscoe Ayers, an employe.
 Ayers was in the smoking compart- ment of the southbound car when the two met, each going at about 35 miles an hour. The. .northbound car plowed its way almost through the other. As Ayers crawled from the wreckage he noticed coals from the battered stove rolling down on the splinters already smoking.
 He kicked the coals out and with his bare hands, threw the hot pieces of the broken stove away. His hands were burned to the bone, but he saved the wreckage from catching fire and burn ing those passengers imprisoned in the debris.
 Mason Woodland. a section hand of Vol cott, Kas., died of his injuries in the hos pital at Leavenworth tonight, bringing the death list as a result of the wreck up to four.
