March 5. — After the cjose of court today a bill was filed in thfe United States circuit court by the Bowling Green trust company of New York, asking for the appointment of a receiver for the Western Maryland rail- road. Judge Thomas J. Norris* ap- pointed President Benjamin F. Bush, '< the railroad having filed an answer ad- mitting the allegations in the bill of complaint and assenting to the receiv- ership. The allegation of the Bowling Green company is that the Western Maryland will be unable to meet fixed charges, due April 1, amounting to $1,250,000, President Bush "gave " bond as re- ceiver in $100,000. Bush succeeded Wlnslow S. Pierce as president ofthe road about a year ago. j The proceedings came as. a surprise, not the slightest intimation that they would be taken having reached finan- cial or legal circles during the day. ' The "Western Maryland was pur- chased in 1902 by what was known as the Fuller syndicate, acting "for the Gould intetrests. Tb.« price paid was $8,000,000. > It was anounced that the Western Maryland was to be the eastern end of a great "transcontinental -system, of which the V/abash railroad and other Gould lines were to form parts.

Tlie largest audience Curing the present c-njragement was on hand last night to listen to Shaw's \u25a0mart and witty lines and to witness the cast's very excellent acting. Theif is nothing suggestive about the piay. It is. on the contrary, very frank.

What there is, Shaw makes use of splendidly 'when he Isn't lectsHns; and Miss Mary 6haw, who playr-d Mrs. Warren, is eureiy magnetic, convincing and sincere In her unusual role. The girl. Vivie Warren, learns the •onrce of the money which keeps her In Idleness and. having Imbibed i«ieas with h«r schooling, refuses to be the re- cipient of funds from the wages of sin. Mrs. Warren pleads la vain; tells tiie \u25a0ordid story of her own wrongs besides articulating many of the preachment* of -the author of the play who talks overlong through her on socialism, but ell to no avail. The girl in the final act sends her mother about her busi- ness, and goes to work in a lawyer's office, earning her own way in the The play, which is said to be Shaw's very best, is not without power as such. It is certainly well put up. and its climax rests naturally at the top of the third act. There is posed before the audience a real issue. Of that there can be no doubt. Mrs. Warren, though A bad woman end member of the old- est profession in the world. Is still a .grood mother. She loves her daughter, even though she admits there Is some doubt as to the paternal parentage of the child. This is frankly disclosed to you; the girl's uncomfortable social position is set frankly in the fore- ground. Sirs.

the railroad having filed an answer ad-mitting the allegations in the bill ofcomplaint and assenting to the receiv-ership.
The allegation of the BowlingGreencompany is that the Western Marylandwill be unable to meet fixed charges,due April1, amounting to $1,250,000,
President Bush "gave"
bond as re-ceiver in $100,000. Bush succeededWlnslow S. Pierce as president oftheroad about a year ago. j

The "Western Maryland was pur-chased in 1902 by what was known asthe Fuller syndicate, acting "for the
Gould intetrests. Tb.« price paid was$8,000,000. >It was anounced that the Western
Maryland was to be the eastern end ofa great "transcontinental -system, ofwhich the V/abash railroad and otherGould lines were to form parts.

The play, which is said to be Shaw'svery best, is not without power as such.It is certainly well put up. and itsclimax rests naturally at the top ofthe third act. There is posed beforethe audience a real issue. Of that therecan be no doubt. Mrs. Warren, thoughA bad woman end member of the old-est profession in the world. Is still a
.grood mother. She loves her daughter,even though she admits there Is somedoubt as to the paternal parentage ofthe child. This is frankly disclosed toyou; the girl's uncomfortable socialposition is set frankly in the fore-ground. Sirs.
