FAVORS RECEIVERSHIP FOR THE W. R. & E. CO. * George A. Ward Suggests It as Pre- ferred to Merger of the Lo- cal Railways. Recefvership for the Washington Railway and Electric Company was proposed by George A. Ward, counsel for the reclamation service, before a Joint meeting of the departments of education and civics of the District Federation of Women's Clubs, held at the New Ebbitt Hotel last night. Receivership and the auctioneer’s * block were.held by Mr. Ward to be “the only solution of the Washington Railway and Electric Company,” which he declared to have earned 9 per cent on its investment last year. Mr. Ward arraigned the railroad bitterly, tracing the history back to its beginnings. His address was pro. tracted, and John B. Colpoys of the Central Labor Union, who was to have taken up the question of suf- frage for the District, was forced to ve. Discussion of his subject was postponed until a later meeting. Mr. Ward paid his compliments to : the gas, electric and telephone com- panies, giving the latter a campara- tively clean “bill of health.” Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins, president of the federation, presided for Miss Blizabeth Reiss, chairman of the de- ment of education, with Mrs. Mary . Johnson, chairman of the depart- ment of civics. Mrs. E. A. Tibbitts, president of the Excelsior Literary Club, told of the work of that organi- zation, apd Mrs. Don P. Blaine of the . U, made a brief address. McADOO AIDING MEXICO. .
