receiver for the line.
The roads request for govern

There is possibility that the line
might be carried over its financial
difficulties through British money
but that Is rather remote, Mr.. kem-
per said. He announced he had
taken the matter up with British
financiers by cable and now was
awaiting their reply. British capt
talists already have about Si2, 100000
invested in the enterprise. according
to Mr.. Kemper, who believes the
British group might be willing to IN
vest additional sums in order to COM
plcte the project and place II on

He estimated that s7,o0o,ooo addi-
tional would take up the receiver
ship gold notes and that about
