yer. yesterday filed a petition in court
and Washington Transit Company, of
Baltimore, 1t principal place of business
being in the District The Fidelity Trust
Company, Of Baltimore, is sued as trus-
tee securing an issue of 100000 Of first
mortgage bonds Of the transit company.
Petitioners allege that the defendant
transit company is indebted to them for
$1,000 on a promissory note, now long
overdue, and for $4,000 on two prom
issory notes upon which interest has
not been paid. Petitioners state they
own $86, 900 Of the par value Of the first
mortgage bonds upon which default in
the payment Of the coupon due Deoem-
ber, 1910. has been made.
1t Is claimed in the declaration that
under aot Of Congress granting to the
transit company valuable franchises In
the District. the company must place
in active operation on or before August
27 next its railrpad situated in the Dis
trict, which Is now built
Cannot Equip Road.
It is alleged that large sums have
been spent upon the building Of the
line, but that the company has no roll
ing stock to place Same In operation,
and no assets or credit wherewith to
secure rolling stock.
Petitioners say they are Informed and
believe that the company is insolvent,
and that unless II Is placed in operation

the company.
Justice Barnard appointed Arthur L.
Shreve receiver. fixing his bond at
$1,000. and authorized him to issue re-
ceiver's certificates not exceeding $780,
900 for the purpose OF repairing the
road, procuring the necessary equip
ment. and operating the road.
Road Ready for Use.
Tho road. which begins at the terminus
of the Fourteenth street car line, ex-
tends to Takoma Park and Is all fin
ished and ready for use. The officers
Of the company are H. w. Williams,
Baltimore, president: w. A Mellon, Ia
koma Park vice president; Paul Sle-
man, secretary and treasurer, and the
officers and J. w. Shade form the board
of directors. Among the principal stock
holders are the real estate firm of Ter
other members Of real estate companies
holding property along the line.
Norton NJ. Little. Of the firm or Ter
rell & Little, said last night that the
appointment of a receiver and the wind
ing up of the affairs of the transit COM
pany was the first step in the reorgani-
Zation of the road.
Considerable interest was occasioned
some time ago when the promoters of
the road undertook to install a gasoline
motor street railway car as an expert
mental effort in its equipment.
The car was brought to this city, but
owing to certain technical defects did
not prove successful. During the last
session OF Congress a law was passed
giving the road additional time in which
to begin operations before making II
subject to the heavy penalty which the
original charter provided for failure to
complete the project.

LOAN SHARK BILL
MEETS OPPOSITION
Motion to Adjourn Finally
Prevents q Vote.

The opposition to the District OF Colum-
bia loan shark bill in the Senate expert
enced an interval of worry yesterday aft
ernoon. when it looked as though the
measure would go through that body de-
spite their best efforts to prevent. A
roll call, which developed the lack Of a
quorum and eventually a motion by Sen
ator Penrose, which adjourned the Senate
for the day. formed the result of the
tactics they adopted.
Senator Curtis, the acting chairman of
the District Committee, succeeded in
bringing the loan shark bill UP for con-
sideration Immediately after the disposi-
ton of the reapportionment bill. The
Statehood bill was the next regular order
Of the Senate. but the reapportionment
bill was passed so early that an interval
remained between then and the hour for
closing miscellaneous business and ad-
mitting the Statehood measure. The cal
endar accordingly was put forward, and
Senator Curtis seized the opportunity to
have the money lending bill taken UP.
Senator Hepburn asked that II be passed
over, whereupon Senator Curtis entered
formal motion for the bills consider a.
tion. The Idaho Senator retaliated with
call for a quorum. and many Senators
who had retired to obtain their lunches
were brought back into the chamber.
The motion of Senator Curtis was car
ried according to viva voce vote, but
Senator Reed, of Missouri, demanded a
roll call and then a call for a quorum.
Most Of the Senators had returned to
the lunchroom, however. and It was evil
dent that there was no serious intention
of going on with regular business. Sena-
tor Penrose accordingly moved adjourn
ment and the Senate dispersed leaving
the much buffeted bill to regulate the
lending Of money in the District in the
air. It remains in its position on the
Senate calendar, and will be called up
again by Senator Curtis when the first
opportunity offers.

TO BE NO ARMIsTICE.
Until After Terms of Peace Are Fully
Agreed Upon.

Juarez May lin response to a
request from the Mexican government,
President Francisco /. Madero, jr., and
his cabinet gathered at II o'clock to-
ment, which is to be submitted by
telegraph by Judge Carbajal today to
President Diaz and his cabinet
81, too" said Madero at noon today,
after a cabinet meeting, ''am DESTROYS
of having all the principal conditions
of peace submitted and agreed upon
before declaring a general armistice.
1t will be a more definite and effective
method.'
It was reiterated after the cabinet
meeting that following the telegraph
agreement on all the principal points
an armistice would be declared to last
until the formal peace pact shall be
signed. Indications at noon today
were that it might take at least an
other day before the rebels would sub
nit their final proposals. Some slight
discord among the leaders was appar-
mony, it is believed, will prevent
bitches.
Capital Is in Danger.
Mexico City, May 17.-Finance Min
lister Limantour was not quite SO SAN
guine as his colleague in the ministry
this morning. He said the government
had the greatest desire to conclude a
peace agreement Out among the d0-
mands of the rebels are some contra
ry to the dignity of the government
and the president" Nevertheless Senior
Limantour believed that peace would
be arranged.
Should the present negotiations fail
it is regarded as not unlikely that the
city will be cut off soon from the out
side world. With the occupation of
Wales, a town on the Tampico branch
of the National Railways yesterday the
rebels now control the railway in three
directions out of San Luis Potosi, to
the north as far as Saltillo in Coahuila
east to Tampico in southeast Tamauli-
pas and west to Aqua Scientas, How
ever no effort has SO far been made TO
interfere with traffic on these lines.
An interruption of the Tampico line
would mean the cutting off of fuel sup
ply to Oil consumers.

late a battle at Magdalena, state of
