Delegates were urged to see that
black women secured equal rights with
others in the event Of the granting

N. Y. Railways Company
Built on the Ruins OF
The Old MetrOpOlitur1

The New York Railways Company
arose from the ruins Of the Metro
politan Street Railway Company, and
was incorporated under the laws of
New York State December 20, 1911, for
the purpose of taking over the proper
ties which formerly belonged to the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
1t was on that date that the property
at public auction, under foreclosure,
for $10,000,000 and bid in by bond
holders who had formed purchasing
committee under a plan of reorganiza-
tion, dated November 20, 1911.
The original consolidation Of New
lsYorks street railways occurred on No
vember 1, 1893, when the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company was incor-
porated. At that time the properties
Pavonia Ferry Railroad Company were
merged with the Broadway Railway
Company and the South Ferry Railway
Company.
= On May 1s, 1894, the company con-
solidated with the Metropolitan Cross
town Railway Company and the
Lexington Avenue and Pavonia Ferry
yin the succeeding year by merger
with the Columbus and Ninth Avenue
Railroad Company.
/ On October /, 1907, the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company went into the
hands of receivers. During the period
which followed several of the lines
the Metropolitan had leased we're
separated from it. The largest of these
was the Third Avenue Railroad Com
pany, which went under a separate re-
ceiver.
The company's property remained
under the receivcrship and went
through mass of litigation until it
was taken over by the newly formed
New York Railways Company
| During the summer of 1916 the liti-
CATION which arose out of the receiver
ship of the Metropolitan, and which
had been pending in the courts since
1907, was finally settled by general
agreement.
After many months of negotiations
the company was able to substantially
settle all of the outstanding claims
against it, based. upon the decisions
which had been rendered in the litiga
tion. The receivers were finally dis
charged on March "a, 1916.

London Underground
Official Here Sees
Danger of Disaster

"a financial disaster involving a
chain of receiverships" will overtake
New York's transportation systems un-
less increased fares are granted, in the
opinion of William L. Mandelick, busi-
ness manager Of the Underground Elec-
trio Railways Company of London. Mr..
Mandelick, after two months inspec
tion of street railway problems in Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Boston and New
York, will sail tomorrow on the Adri
attic.
He said yesterday that the conges-
tion problem is far more serious here
than it is in London.
"And you cannot expect much relief
unless the companies are given more
funds with which to work." he said.
"In London we have advanced the fares
about 33 per cent since the beginning
of the war. 1t is only because of this
advance that we are able to handle the
traffic.
"Hcrc the fares remain just as in
pre-war times. If this situation con-
tinucs I cannot see how you are going
to avert a serious financial disaster
| involving chain of receiverships, a
disintcgration of your transportation
systems with perhaps the consequent
abandonment of some of your lines,
the throwing out of employment or
men at time when great many men
are looking for jobs. and the causing of
far-reaching complications which seem
to me will be most detrimental to
your city and to its citizesn collective
,ly and individually, to say nothing Of
the Investing public.
"On every hand here l found the cost
of living had increased. I cannot un-
derstand why the city transportation
lines have not been allowed tempo
rArily to increase their fares. They, like
ourselves, have had to pay their men
more wages in order that the latter
may live decently, the cost of material
for the maintenance of the property
has been vastly higher, and yet the
street railway, elevated and under
ground fare remains the same. Such
state of affairs is not likely to
render the securities of your traction
companies attractive investments in
any market
"I don't mean to criticise the policy
of the powers that are responsible, but
I am wondering what you are going to
do and how long a time yet remains in
which to take action of remedial
sort before the cataclysm comes in
your transportation situation"

Red Cross Officer Sees
Renewal of Balkan War
Only Strong Allied Military
Guard Can Prevent 1t, He
Says; Arrives on Vestris

The Lamport and Holt liner Vestris
which is soon to resume her place in
the company's New York and South
American service, arrived here yester-
day from Liverpool with the pAssen-
gers of the Cunard liner Orduna
which was forced to remain abroad.
Captain Charles B. Gibson, Of Chi
cago, a surgeon of the American Red
Cross. was aboard. He recently came
out of Bulgaria where he had been en-
gagged in relief work, establishing and
directing a station at Turnavia- Synen.
Bulgaria" he said, "is by no means
demobilizing her army, but is forever
moving it from place to place. She
loves the Allies just so long as the
Allies feed her and that is about all
there is to her sincerity. Serbia is
awaiting an opportunity to spring at
Bulgaria's throat and Greece is seek
ing to claim everything she can lay
her hands on. That is the Balkan
situation in a nutshell.
IA league of nations in some form
is absolutely necessary to keep peace
in these belligerent states. Conditions
in Bulgaria are deplorable. Unless the
Allies maintain a strong military
guard in the Balkans, war will surely
be renewed there"

The Essex, which has been creating
SO much comment in automobile cir

Bile achievement to its record by av-
eraging 20 miles to the gallon Of gas
cline in 115 mile test in San Fran
cisco, according to word received to-
day by G. Fisher Humphreys.
"This performance is all the more
notable because Of the fact that inn
mediately after the economy test, the
same car was driven over the steep
California street hill in San Francis
co, being the only four cylinder car
which has ever accomplished this
Feat" said Mr.. Humphreys.
Both these tests were made with
the car filed with newspapermen who
acted as observers. The start up
the hill was made at Battery street
and the trip ended at the Paramount
hotel. Only two other cars have
climbed this hill officially in high
gear. One was "a Hudson super-six

machine

In fact, it was not only stock car

"In considering the meaning Of the

that the motor of the Essex, although

ROAD HOG IS
DISAPPEARING
No Class of Citizen Now More
Friendly to Motor Car Travellers
Than The Farmer.
Courier Journall


The farmer who used to hold the
center of the road with his wagon
heavily loaded with produce, in short,
the "road hog" is rapidly disappear
ing, as any motorist who travels the
state highways win testify. The OBJ
noxious automobile of a few years
ago has come to be luxury and con-
yenience that the broad-minded far
mer has been quick to appreciate and
the fact that the farmer himself has
become motorist has removed the
last vestige of envy ON his part.
The trials Of the motorist are now
the trials Of the farmer, and there is
a general tendency to remove all OBJ
stacles that make legitimate motor
| ing a unpleasant. This is the opin-
ion Of John T. McInerney, counsel
for the New York State Motor FEEDER
alton, who has watched the develop
ments along this line in the Empire
state.
Times Have Changed.
| II can remember few years back
when a motorists way was beset by
country highways" he says. The farm
ing population took not to the auto
mobile. To them it represented a
frightened horse, damage, arrogance,
and all the ills that a highway might
have. Loads Of produce would plug
down the middle Of the road with
tantalizing slowness while the driver
chuckled and smoked his pipe, un-
mindful Of the angry horn of the au-
tomobile in the rear.
Times have changed and the old
sentence seems to fit here and be
really rejuvenated. No class is more
friendly to the motor vehicle now
than the farmer. More automobiles
are owned in the country than in the
urban centers. The automobile has
brought the city close to the country
reducing the distance to markets, and
lmade life in the supposedly lonesome
country the most attractive place on
| earth.
| "The automobile is accomplishing
wonders in the country It is bring.
