NEW HAVEN T0 ASK- FOR CONSOLIDATION Directors Favor Eventual Merging 01 AllNew England Lines New York, Aug. 9.—The reply of the New Haven railroad company di- rectors to the report of the joint New England railroad committee to the governors of the New England states will be made within the next week or ten days, according to E. G. Buck- land, general counsel for the rail- road. The reply, which is being drawn up, will urge that all New England roads be consolidated in due time. The railroad directors met yester- day, when reports were submitted by committees who had been studying different phases of the situation and a general draft of a reply was ap- proved which will be sent out in the form of a statement to stockholders, defining the position of the New Hav- en road. As to consolidation the re- port approves in a gencral way the Storrow committee’'s recommendation as to consolidation rather than merger with trunk lines, but differs from it in this respect that whercas the Stor- row report would leave out of the consolidation the Boston and Albany, leased to the New York Central and Central Vermont, controlled by major- ity stock ownership by the Grand Trunk, the New Haven directors would consolidate “in due time"” all New England railroads, believing that such unified control is essential to the protection of New England industries, the development of New kngland ports and the maintenance of the present differential rates. In the case of the Central Vermont it is an Am- erican railroad and subject to the laws of the United States and its disasso- ciation from the Grand Trunk could therefore probably be brought about In the case of the Boston and Albany, leased to the New York Central, it is without doubt within the province of the interstate commerce commission to make such grouping as jndgment dictates under the power granted it by congress. The directors will take a decided stand against state control and man agement of the New Haven road by the states of Magsachusetts, Rhode Island ‘and Connecticut ,and it is un derstood that the report will seek no rebates of taxes due the states as sug- gested fu the Storrow report. Tt 1s known that the directors believe that the railroad is in a position to oper- ate from now on without such finan- cial help from the and that they do not-believe stockholders or bondholders should be subject to assessments or in any other way suf- fer any depreciation on their holdings. The directors believe that the road can maintain and increase its credit As to the statistics furnished by the Storrow report, which seek to prove inefficiency in operation of the New Haven road compared with that of other New England roads, it is said that the directors had be- fore them figures compiled by the operating departments of the New Haven road which showed that thel Storrow ' committee figures were| wrong. Tt was recently pointed out| by Professor W. J. Cunningham of Harvard that it was absurd to ap-| ply one method alone to determine operating efficiency ‘and demonstrate by one set of figures that one rail-| road's operation was less efficient| than another. It is known that the figures submitted to the directors have proved to their satisfaction that President Pearson and the other officers of the New Haven railroad haye - directed operations insuch al way that they compared favorably with other roads. f A specific detailed reply to all of the points advanced by the New England committer in its report will be prepared and sent to all stock- holders of the road. Great interest. is taken in the forthcoming report as it is ‘believed that out of the various suggestions ‘advanced hoth hy thel| Storrow committee and the railroad directors there will eventually evolve | a plan that will solve the New Eng-| land railroad problem.

Laird, superintendent of three steel mills at Munhall, near Pittsburgh, was found yesterday morning, and police and detectives are searching for a woman with whom Laird was seen. They say they have her name and that she is well known in this district. There were four bullet holes in Laird's head, and lying on the running board of the car were three shells from an automatic revolver. A Yourth shell was found on the floor beside Laird's feet. Disposition of the shells in this manmer is puzzling the de- tectives, they say. Mr. Laird came here several days ago with friends from Munhall. He was greatly interested in the Boy Scout movement and had been visit- ing a scout camp near the place where his body was found. Mr. Laird was a widower and father of nine children. the BROTHER TOOK CAR.
