Mr. Willard reiterated his opposi- tion expressed before the commission last May to one of its tentative con- solidation plans whereby the Balti. more and Ohlo would take over the N. Y. N.

Remarking that if the New Eng- land roads demanded a greater share in the rate divisions for through traf- flc they ought to reduce their operat- ing costs and increase local revenues where possible, Mr. Willlard sald: “How can the New England rail- merly of city city but of late reslding | gaqs, taken as a whole, reduce their in Hartford, were arraigned in the | ,s of transportation?

Washington, Sept. 25.—Japan's fin- nancial loss in the recent earthquake disaster averages about $13 per capita of its population, it was estimated to- day by the Far Eastern division of The dam- the commerce department. ed that the answer to that question is tion of all the lines within New Eng- land and in no other way. If all the New England railroads could be op- erated as if owned in fact by one company under one chief responsible head, very great economies could be made.” This chief could secure the maxi- mum efficiency of the plant, he said, and could adjust necessary embargoes from one gateway to another. The ar- rangement he suggested would permit the greatest possible flexibjlity in the use of motive power, Mr. Willard opposed a partial grouping of New England roads which would not, he asserted, permit the greatest economy iin operation. The whole rate situation should be gone over, he declared, with the lowering of some rates and the raising of others, which would bring an {increase of revenue without' detriment to New England industry. “The tentative plan ‘of the inter- statp commerce commission," he con- tinued, “proposes the consolidation of the Baltimore and Ohio, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh and New England and Lehigh and Hudson railroads. Such- a consolidation, 'if brought about would provide a through line, al' under one manage- ment from Chicago, right through to a direct connection with the New 'rges New England Lines, age to industry considering the total capaclty of the manufacturing and producing establishments of the coun- try was estimated to be even less pro- portionately. Material damage amounts ta $1,- 000,000,000 in the department figures. | If the Japanese nation adds that amount to its present public debt of $1,913,000,000 its total per capita in- debtedness will be about $38 as com- pared with a per capita indebtedness for the United States of $211 and Great Britain of $733. The cotton spinning industry lo- cated largely in the earthquake zone sustained the most serious property destruction, about 500,000 cotton spindles or bhetween ten and fifteen per cent being entirely destroyed. Japanese silk production will be little hampered, the estimates contin- ued. Though 40,000 bales of raw silk in Yokohama were destroyved and machinery used in testing and hand- lng silk shipments was damaged, the producing area where the silk wnrms‘ are cultivated was only slightly af- feoted. Tn a short time shipments of silk will probably be resumed. 1t was further pointed onut that 75 per cent of the material 1oss was rep- resented in the labor costs of con- struction. The department predicted that the increased efforts of the Jap- anese would compensate largely for this, $100,000 Fire Loss Today At Woburn, Mass., Factory Woburn, Mass., Sept. 25.—T.0ss es- timated at $100,000 was caused early today by fire which destroyed the fac- tory of the Trihble Cordage Co., on Union street and a business buflding |at Union and Main streets.

He suggested that.| kis proposed New England system hauls, on whith they were certainly now losing money. " Mr. Willard said in answer to a question that the New York Central might consent to relinquish the Bos- ton and Albany to the proposed New England commission, and he thought that the Canadian govern- | ment would be glad to relinquish the | Central Vermont. He believed that eponomies to be effected would justi- fy the eapital expenditures in acquir- ing these lines and that differentials thgough northern gateways would not be disturbed.
