DOLAN AND HIS VIEWS Bondholders Here Object to the Present Receivership. PROSPECT FOR RAPIDTRANSIT ———+-_—. The question of the equipment of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and the Belt Line railroads with compressed air motors, so far, at least, as the courts @re con- cerned, was postponed today until Tues- day next. Early this month, as reported in The Star at the time, Receiver W. Kesley Scheepf of the two roads asked authority from the Equity Court to issue receiver’s certificates for the purpose of equipping the roads with the motors, the certificates to be first Mens on the property of the roads. Mr. Schoepf wanted to issue cer- tilicates to the amount of about $75,0p0 with which to begin the Belt Line and about $56,000 for the Eckington road. The petition was presented to Judge Cox, who directed that the parties interested should today show cause, if any they had, why the authority desired should not be granted. Mr. Jere M. Wilson, said to represent the bondholders of the two roads, appeared be- fore Judge Cox this morning, but the re- ceiver was not represented, and at tie sug- gestion of Mr. Wilson, Judge Cox post- poned the hearing in the matter until next ‘Tuesday. And it is understood that Mr. John Ridout,attorney for Receiver Schoepf, subsequently agreed to the postponement. It was said at the city hall today that Mr. Schoepf desired to get an crder from the court for authority to issue certificates to the amount of $2,500 for the current ex- penses of the roads. It is understood, how- ever, that such a thing would have been vigorousiy resisted by the other parties, and Mr. Ridout was reported later in the day to have declared that nothing what- ever will be done by either side before ‘Tuesday. MR. DOLAN IS EMPHATIC. He Discussed the Eckington Road and Washington in a Breezy Manner. Judging from a conversation which a Star reporter had last night with Mr. Thomas Dolan of the Elkins-Widener syn- dicate, which is supposed to have the ccn- trolling voice in the affairs of the ton anc way companies of this city, at Mr. home near Philadelphi to expect Mr. Dolan and hi: Soldiers’ Home and Pelt Line rail- Dolan’s take any steps toward equipp: e lines with rap nsit power until the get to do so, and from th way Mr. Dolan ta will ever get ready. At the beginning of the intervie Dolan was informed by The Star that there had been a meeting of the mi- nerity stockholders of the roads named, who were dissatisfied with the manner in which various matters are being managed. Before the reporter cculd y more than t, Mr. Dolan exclaimed, “I don’t believe -d, it is doubtful if they w OMr. Don’t believe what?” porter. “Why, I don't believe that there was any meeting held in Washington of the mfnori ty stockholders, and any way, IT den’: a —— —— whether there was or not. papers and people of Washingion are a set of and I doz what you publish or what you don't. do you hear me? The reporter replied that he did; that he was not deficient in his hearing’ powers, and desired to ask Mr. Dolan whether it was or was rot true that he (Mr. Do! Mr. Elkins and Mr. Widener were still cc nected with the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and Belt railways of W: “What the —- ——- — do know that for?” said Mr. Dolan. “Because, Mr. Dolan,” the reporter an- swered, “if you are, the people cf Wash- ington believe that sometime or oiher, when you get good and ready to give them rapid transit, they will get it. ‘I don’t believe a ——- -— word you are saying,” replied the railroad magnat “The people of Washington do not belie anything we say, and if I was to y that we did intend to equip the two roads you mentioned with rapid transit, they would believe we had some ulterior cbject in view. I had some stock in those roads for about four years, but drew out about a year ago.” “Then do you authorize me,” 2sked the reporter, “to say in The Star that you are no longer interestea in the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and Belt railways “I don’t authorize you to say anything,” wes the reply, “and I don’t give a — what you publish. The papers and people of Washington are a —- —— — of fools, and if they hadn't abused us so “nuch they would have had rapid transit long ago.” ‘Then the conversation proceeded like this: “Well, how about the air motors, Mr. Dolan?” “ the air motors.” “But you were over in New York yester- day, and with Mr. Elkins and Mr. Widener, examined into the workings of some air motors, did you not?” “How the —— did you know that?” said Mr. Dolan. , I was told so by an acquaintance queried the re- Now , yes; I was over in New York yesterday, and I investigated the workings of an air motor.” “Will you tell me what you thought of the machine?” “Not a -— thing.” “Do you contempiate tryt sort of motor in Washington “That motor has nothing to do with any arrangements for ravid transit in Wash- ington. But I ain't going to tell you a— thing about our trip or the air motor.” At this point Mr. Dolan begun to repeat much of his previous conversation, and The Star reporter said that he was much obliged to him for the interview. “You haven't anything to be grateful for.” snapped Mr. Dolan. With this the interview ended, and the reporter withdrew. In connection with the remarks of Mr. Dolan, made last night, it is proper to re- call that the same reporter had an inter- view with Mr. Dolan on the subject of air motors several wecks ago, and that at that time Mr. Dolan said he could not under- stand why the motors to operate the cars of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home and Belt Line companies were not then in Washington; that a contract had been made with the H. K. Porter Company of Pittsburg for the placifg of ten or twelve compressed air motors, with their trail- ers, on the two roads by September 10 at the latest; that the Porter company had agreed to erect the compressing plant and operate the lines free of expense, so far as the motive power was concerned, for six months; that If by the end of that time the results of the experiment were satisfac- tory to the railroad company the Porter company was to be paid a stipulated sum, ard if pronounced unsatisfactory the equip- ment was to be taken away from the prop- erty of the railroad company without any charge whatever to the latter. RECEIVER UNSATISFACTORY. Eckington Bondholders Want W. Kes- ley Schoepf Removed. The bondholders of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company met yes- terday evening at the American Security and Trust building to hear the Teport of the committee recently appointed to de- termine upon a course to be pursued in the settlement of the difficulties now con- fronting the company. ‘The committee, which consisted of Mr. R. A. Johnson, chairman; Mr. Henry A. Willard and Mr. 8. W. Woodward, reported on the applica- tion of Receiver Schoepf to issue receiver's certificates at much length. Among other things the report said: “The purposes for which the power to issue such certificates is desired by the said receiver may be briefly enumerated as follows: (a) To meet the expenses of op- erating the road, such as feed bills and expenditures of that character; (h) to rey for such foundation and appliances as are necessary for the purpose of supp!yine the same motors with compressed air, the cost of which is estimated at from $2,500 :o $5,000; (©) to pay for the ten compressed eir motors contracted for by ihe company be- fore the appointment of said receiver for the purpose of testing che efficiency of that motor, at a cost of probably 36,000, and (@), in the event the motor is success. ful, then to meet the expenses of ccm- pleting the equipment of the road, which would amount to $500,900 or $600,000. These are the items apparently 2ontemplatei by the receiver’s report as we understand it. “In view of the gravity of the matter submitted to us, we have enieavored, by all the means within our power, to ascer- tain the real situation, end tc give to the bondholders our best judgment as to wha’ under the circumstances, shouid be dou and, without going inte minute details and leaving out of view all legal questions that might be raised, but considering matter from a purely business stancpoint, and in the light of the best information that we have been able procure, we have to say that we have reached the con- clusion that the best course to be pur- sued, under the conditions now exi: is embraced in the following suggestions: “1. There should be a change in the re- ceivership. Neither the bondholders ner the stockholders were representel or had any voice in respect to the appolitment of the present receiver, and.we find that there is almost, if not quite, universal’ dissatisfac- tion with him. “2. Inasmuch as the road appears now not to be paying its operating expenses, It would be best to authorize the issuing cf receiver's certificates for the purpose of meeting such expenses. “3. Certificates should be authorized to pay for the plant to which allusion ts above made to the extent of not exceeding &.000, “4. In view of the fact that the act of Congress requires a compressed-air motor to be tried, we have made diligent inquiry, to such extent as we have been able, as to the status of the matter in respect to fur- nishing these motors, and our information is, and we think it may be safely relied upon, that the ten motors that have been contracted for are in°such a state of for- wardness of construction that, in a very shert time, possibly within two wee! one or mcre of them can be placed on the road enc the test begun, and the others could be supplied shortly thereafter. “These motors will cost nothing unless they are a success, and we understand that to be a commercial as well as a mechanical success. If they are a success, they would have to be paid for at a cost in the neigh- borhood of $60,000. There are no means to pay for them, in the event of success, ex- cept by the issuance of receiver's certifi- cates; and as rapid transit is essential to the prosperity of the road, and as Con- gress has required that this motor shall be tested and used if successful, it is out opinion that, from a business standpoint, it is best to authorize t uance of re- ceiver's certificates to pay for the ten mo- ters above referred to when it is ascer- tained that they are a mechanical and commercial success. Of course, provision should be made that no certificates shall be issued until this success is demonstrat- We are of opinion that no provision whatever should now be made for the is- suing of certificates for the further equip- ment (ie., in excess of that in payment for the ten motors) of the road, even if the said ssf h motors prove suce: 2 should be made to or looking to that end, If these motors are should be entirel provision for the issuing of certificates, and the affairs of the pany, and everything pertaining there- succ unembar- to, should be kept in such a position that, if the motors are successful, and thereby the future prospects of the ‘road are im- proved, advantage may be taken thereof, cither by issuing new bonds to cover those now existing, and including such further sums for this fu ther equipment ,or by any other means that good : not nization or by tificates for the ompleting the equipment, as above indicated. “Looking at this matter frem a purely business standpoint, it seems to us that the course above suggested would be for the best interests of the bondholders, and would also be just to the stockholders and creditors of the company.” The bondholders will act upon the report at a meeting to be held Wednesday next. oe THE COURTS.

Yu Lung, who is a Chinese merchant, has cared for the sick man for two years, but the patient's condition has not improved, and, thinking hospital treatment might do him good, he made,application to Sanitary Officer Frank to have his sick friend cared for. He had been treated by a physician for rheumatism. ‘The sanitary officer issued a permit, and had the sick Chinaman sent to the Wash- ington Asylum Hospital. Although Moy Sing is not the first Chinaman sent to a hospital, very few of the celestials apply for assistance in this way. As a rule their fellow countrymen care for them to the last, and do not like to have their friends sent to the hospital. In this case, how- ever, the sick man was cared for until the last hope was almost gone, and his re- moval was the last resort. Albert Smith, the colored man who was arrested yesterday by Precinct Deteotive Sutton on a charge of stealing the lead lining from a bath tub in Rice’s photo- graph gallery yesterday, was given a hear- ing in the Police Court today. It developed that Smith had been in court before on a charge of theft, and had been convicted. For this reason a charge of second offense was preferred, and Judge Miller held him in $500 security for the action of the grand jury.
