Negotiations with the city for carrying

In tho "dual subvvnj' sjstem" were con

corporation assumed rcponslblllty for
three distinct lines with a trackage of
approximately 281 miles A large sharo
of this work remains uncompleted and
It was this delay to which arc attri
buted most of tho corporation's finan

Another element which is believed
to havo led to the receivership was
tho disastrous wreck In November on
tho Brighton Beach lino In which nearly
100 persons lost their lives with attend
ant damage claims amounting to an
enormous sum.

Colonel Timothy S. Williams, presi

said tho corporation did not oppose the
receivership, for It felt Its Interests
would be subserved by a temporary re
ceivership "Tho lmmedlato requirements were for
meeting Jnnuary obligations for about

WILSON IDEA CLARIFIED
President's Explanation of
Moral Force Removes Many
Objections to Proposals
Ily n Staff Corrrtvomtritt
Wanlitnittnti, Dec. 31. The United
States Senate Is now showing marked
sjmpnthy toward the President's pro
posals for a league of nntlons nnd free
dom of the sens, nnd It Is now certnln
that It will not reject a peace treaty
"Igni-il nt Versailles embodjlng these all
Important Issues.
When President Wilson sailed for Fu
rope two weeks ngo, pledged to support
these two principles nt the Furopean
peace conferences, tho Senate shared In
full measure tho opposition expressed by
the statesmen of Orcat Britain and
France to the Ideas
It vvas at first believed here nnd In
Furope that the President ndvocated nn
Ironclad treaty with tho Furopean na
tions which would create an Interna
tional nrmj and navy to police the world
nd carry out the agreements regrrdlne
the freedom of the sens nnd the league
of nations Thla would havo been con
trary to the American International
principles and traditions nnd would have
hampered the Furopean nations with an
unwelcome restraint.
Hut since the President made the ex
planation In his speech nt tho University
of Paris that his Idea of a league of
nations was onl.v tho exertion of a moral
force to guide the nntlons In the path
of right nnd Justlco his Ideas have been
Indorsed by Foreign Minister Plchon, of
France; Premier Mojd George, of Great
Britain, and the Italian statesmen, nnd
Is now rapidly gaining tho approval of
the United htntes Semtors.
Senators he re and there, like Senator!
Lodge, Knox nnd Keed, still firmly be
lieve tho President's Ideas of a league of
nations nnd freedom of the seas are Idle
dreams and unworknhle In practice, but
the rank and file In the Senate has been
converted to tho President's Ideas alone
with the Furopcnn statesmen.
The Senators who are opposed to Prea
Ident Wilson's pioposal for a, league of
