1 1 THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1921. HI tel. R. T. TO FIGHT RECEIVERS! WALL ST.

BELIEF Company Paying Off Claim of Brake Company and Interest Due To-Morrow. COAL BILL IS UNPAID. Bankers Look for Venner Plea to Be Denied When It Comes Up To-morrow. It became linown In financial circles to-day that the Interborough Rapid Transit Company Is preparing to wage a vigorous fight to avoid a receivership, and It la confidently bc-belloved by bankers that when the Clarence H. Venner application for a iccclvcr comes up before Judge Julius Mayer In the Federal Court to-morrow it will be denied.

This belief Is founded on the fact that the Interborough has decided to pay the 157,000 claim of the American Brake Shoo Foundry Company. It was the latter company which made the first application for a receiver for the Interborough. It was also stated that when the Venner application comes up before Judge Mayer the Interborough will be able to prove that It has paid all current accounts excepting the company's coal and it Is understood that an arrangement has been made whereby the Interborough will pay approximately one-third of this -bill at the present time, with the balance to be paid on agreed dates. Included In the bills which the Interborough is now paying Is the 1-2 per cent, interest on the notes Sue to-morrow. Its total current obligations, including Interest, approximates $3,000,000.

it Is further stated by bankers that the applications for a receiver has had the effect of inducing a large number of note holders agree to the company's proposal that theso notes be extended for one year at an 8 per cent. Interest rate, and it is banking opinion that by the time the application for a receiver comes up before Judge Mayer such a large amount of notes will have been deposited for extension that the application will be denied. During the twelve months ended June 00 last the Interborough showed a deficit of fl.tC4.00U." It is best financial opinion that with the recent reduction in wages and jeduction.s in the costs of practically all kinds of materials and supplies the deficit will be virtually wiped out In the twelve months to end June 30 next. Inquiry by The Kvening World today as to what the consequences would be If a disintegration of the elevated and subway lines were to take place, revealed the following: Passengers on the Second, Third, SKth and Ninth Avenue tlevatcd lines would be required, by terms of the Manhattan Klc- 1 vated lluilroad Company's orig- lnal charter, to pay a fare of five cents In the morning rush hours i from 6 to 9 o'clock, five cents in the evening rush hours from 4 to 7 o'clock, and at all other times of the day a fate of 10 cents, without transfer privilege Bt 149th Street and ThlrU Avenue In the Bronx, which Is the only transfer point on the two systems. Passengers on the east slda elevated lines could bo carried no further than Westchester and llrook Avenues, where the elevated extension now joins the subway, and no further than Gun Hill Hoad and White Plains Avenue where the Third Avenue line now meets the White Plains Avenue subway.

A passengcron the wcstslde elevated lines would have to alight at ICid Street and Hlver Avenue where the Sixth and Ninth Avenue elevated extension meets the Jerome Avenue subway. Manhattan elevated trains of the Second, Third, Sixth and Ninth Avenue lines could no longer trespass on city-owned subway tinctures at Jerome Avenue, Westchester Avenue and White Plains Avenue, without the con-gent of tho city owner and without rental agreement with the Interborough Company as operating lessee of thoso propcr-, tics In contract with the municipality. If the Interborough or the Federal Court were to abrogate tho lease with the Manhattan Elevated Railroad, tho Interboroirgh, as the operating company on city owned subway properties, would have to negotiate with the Hoard of Kstlmate ns to the terms and conditions on which it would continue to operate over city owned properties that now join with Manhattan elevated extensions, 'because of Its present city contract. In vlcrw of the city's present Attitude on fares, It is a foregone conclusion that it would not sanction any arrangement that would involve a fare of more than five cents for passage on Tnterborough trains. As to fares on tho Manhattan Klevatcd trains, the city would liave no voice in the matter, for the reason that the municipality has no agreement or contract with tho Manhattan Company.

It Is not ibeyond the limit of possibility that if a division of the two systems should come passengers may yet find themselves paying 10 cents fare on the elevated and an additional 5 cents on the abutting subway Mnes. Commissioner Illrshfleld to-day re sumed his hearings to ascertain If employees and directors of the Inter borough Rapid Transit Company were 4n collusion 1919 strike with a Charlie Chaplin Proclaims In the Matrimonial Market Again In 3-Minute Hot Weather Interview HQ' Irf '5 Comedian Strategically Shy on Most Questions, but Vents Some Positive Opinions Doesn't Know What Sort of Woman He Likes Best and Would Read Hamlet Than Play It. By Mar giteriteMooersMar shall Charlie Chaplin, tho playboy of the movies, Charlie of the funny feet, the trained mustache, the Incredible headgear, handles three-minute Inter-view with all the care he does NOT bestow on oustard pics and cops. Charlie is ever so polite about it, mit nevertheless he acts as It he thought The Evening World's hot weather test In mental speed were a bomb of some sort that might go off in his hands. When I saw the brown-eyed, debo nair, soft-voiced little comedian in the theatre lobby Just after the rehearsal of the next release of his friend Mary Pickford and Just before the showing of the newest picture of his friend Douglas Fairbanks, he leaned against the wall for support, wiggled his fin- gers nervously and took his full three tatlon.

It was exactly 17 minutes past 1 when I asked: Q. No. 1 What Is It that makes you so funny? Charlie Chaplin (grinning bashfully.

Charlie Chaplin I do not know.

Q. No. 4 Why don't you want to marry again? Charlie Chaplin (who was recently quoted as saying that he didn't, but who seoms to have changed his mind girls, here's your chance!) Who says that I don't? Quoting me to that effect was a ralBtafce. I certainly do want to marry again very much! Q. No.

5 What sort of woman do you like best? Charlie Chaplin (again grinning em. barrasscdly and tying his fingers Into bowknots) Now, that's hard to answer; I really couldn't say; I couldn't even tell whether she's blond or brunette; I couldn't answer that. Q. No. 6 Are you In favor of an Irish republic? Charlie Chaplin (determinedly playing safe) I prefer to be discreet and not commltmyself.

The first minute was gone and we were one answer ahead of the avcrago called for by the tlmo schedule. SECOND MINUTE. Slows Down His Ansuers, but UoUls to Schedule. Q. No.

Nathan Kushncr, No. 1057 Simpson Street, former Interborough guard, said that while there was no official union statement showing that the company was back of the strike. It was freely passed from one employee to another that tho company was going bankrupt and that the only chance for employees to get a pay increase was to help tho company obtain a ten-cont fare which tho company would share. Commissioner Hirsuficld said that the Interborough receivership move In designed to got an Increased fare.

FORMER CROATIAN CONSUL MUST GO TO TRIAL. I'lra to Quaiih Iiullrtiiirn fur A -truilttrd Kxtnrtlon Denied. Judge Xott In General Sessions today denied the motion made by counsel for Vladislav Savltch, formerly Croatian Consul, who was indicted on July ili on a charge of attempted extortion, to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that as a representative of a foreign power he was not answerable to a New Vork Court. In dlamussing the motion to quash tho indictment Judge Nott decided that the indictment against Savitch does not allege or show that Savitch was acting in his official capacity when the alleged crime was committed and is therefore amenable to tho court of Now York.

Frank Zotti, publisher of foreign language newspapers, complainant in the case, charges that fSavitch threatened to inlluonce the steamship advertising in Zottl's papers unless he was given a block of stock in the newspapers.

Thu iJiipremc Council recently voted to eo-opemtu with the I'lilted Government on Kuaal.in rvlief, believ ing the American (loveiniiH'lit had been negotiating with tho Soviet Gov-erunient.

This misunderstanding arose because Seeiotury Hoover Is a member or President llardlnif's Cabinet and Ih nt the time thu head of the American Itelief Ailinlnlstia-tlon. Mr. Hoover entered the Harding Cabinet with thu understanding that he be permitted to carry on the icllel work in fiuropu and Mr. Harding cou-aented to thu arrangement. Hut even if there wete no doubt nbout the absolute Hep.irallon between Hie Washington Government and the American Itelief Administration, which Is a consolidation of eliaiitable organizations, the hluin-pcan GnvernmentH would piobablj have proponed governmental ieief There ure very substantial leusons why the United Slates Government thinks the relict project should be kept as fur us possible out of the realm of government.

Secondly, the Soviet Government has been endcnvorlng for some time to enter into diplomatic relations with other Governments on one pretext or another so as to give the iinpicsslon Inside Russia that the Soviet pio-gramme Is being tecognlzed throughout the world. Those who believe the Soviet nicthod.s must he abandoned think the quickest way to insure thu establishment of a good Government in Itussla, ullli which the rest of the world inn deal.

Secietary Hoover Is inclined to believe that the HilKHian pioblein Ills gone far beyond the reach of charity. It Is said that 9,000,000 children are starving.
