CHESAPEARE GETS HOCKING RAILROAD Also Submits Plan for New Fastern Consolidation Washington, April T (A—The Checapeake & Ohio railway renewed today its move to consolidate east- crn carriers by notifying the inter- state commerce commission that it would withdraw its application pre- sented February of last year for ac- quisition of eleven roads in favor of a new plan to be submitted shortly. Coincidently the commission ap- proved, over the opposition of Com- missioner Eastman, acquisition by the Chesapeake & Ohio of the 320 mile Hocking Valley railway in Ohio. Tn its original application, the Chesapeake & Ohio asked permis- sion to acquire the Hocking Valley, the Pere Marquette, the Erie, the Nickel Plate, the Virginian, the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the Bessemer & Lake Erie, the Wheeling and Lake Erie, the Pitta- burgh and Shawmut, the Pittsburgh, Shawmut and Northern, and the Chicago and Eastern lllinois rail- roads. The commission in its consolida- tion plan allocated the Virginian te the New York Central and the Chicago and Fastern 1llinois to the Chicago and northwestern system. The Cherapeake & Ohio is expect- ed in its new plan to drop its re- quest for the Virginian, but it believed prepared to renew its at- tempt to acquire the Chicago and Lastern Illinofs. Permission to ac- quire the Wheeling and Lake Erie, which was assigned by the comm sion to the Wabash-Seaboard sys- tem, is also understood to be part of the program contemplated by the Van Sweringen interests, which con- trol the Chesapeake & Ohio. The Chesapeake & Ohio was per- mitted to acquire the Hocking Val- ley under restrictions regarding the financing, the commission ordering that the stock acquired shall not be disposed of except by authority of the commission. Stock Tssue In carrying out the acquisition C. & O. was allowed to issue $24,- 748,875 of common capital stock for exchange for stock of the Hocking Valley. The exchange will be made on a basis of one share of Hocking Valley for 2 1-2 sharcs of C. & O. stock, Commissioner astman contended that the so-called acquisition of control was so ‘‘patently” consoli- dation of the two propertics that he could not “bring himself to-concur in the majority report Athletes Candid:l;; For Police Department Among the 11 applicants for ap- pointment to the supernumerary police force, who will be cxamined by the discipline committee tomor- row night prior to the meeting of the board, are Joseph 2.

Poses as Gas Worker; Peddler Under Arrest Charles O'Brien of Meriden was arrested this afternoon by Detective Sergeant P. J. O'Mara on the charge of peddling without a license. Com- plaint was made to Captain Kelly that O'Brien was going from housc to house on Washington street, rep- vesenting that he was an authorized agent of the New Britain Gas Light Co. and the sergeant learned that O'Brien’s game was to use a serew driver to tighten up gas fixtures and then try to sell metal lighters.

He begged to be al- lowed to go without prosecution. Szymagki May Play With Fordham Eleven John Szymanski, son of Ray- mond Szymanski of this city, is one of the best prospects for a position on the varsity football team at Ford- ham university, according to word received in this city. During the spring training which came to an end recently Szymanski was out- standing because of his aggressive- ness. He was a regular tackle on the university's freshman team and be- cause of his height and weight he is being groomed for a place on the varsity team by the coaching staff of the college. At high school he was a three letter man and the winner of the William I". Burns Memorial award. His father is a member of the board of public works. GRAIN MARKET BARISH Chicago, April 7 (A—Announce- ment that 2,000,000 bushels of wheat in store here is out of condition had a bearish effect on Chicago wheat values early today. The announce- 1ent led to selling which for at least the time being acted as more than an offset for continued drought news and for Liverpool price upturns higher than expected. Opened at 3-8c decline to, a rise of 2¢, Chicago wheat afterward dropped to well be- Jow Saturday’s finish. Corn and oats were unsettled, with corn starting 1-4c off to 1-4c up. and subsequent- 1y turned own grade.

He spoke of the need for immediate study by ex- perts to determine the most eco- nomical and lasting solution of the sewerage question, warning that mis- takes in this and other city pro- jects will prove costly and extreme- ly wasteful. A promise of tax reduction was made, this to be accomplished by setting & definite budget goal, then bringing the common council and the board of finance and taxation into a cooperative unit, striving for lower governmental costs. Reas- sessment, with the candidate’s own property the first to be changed, was also assured. Concluding with a request that all voters go {o the polls at the earliest possible hour tomorrow, Mr. Mec- Donough promised a business ad- ministration and non-partisan con- sideration of all public affairs. Last night Mr. McDonough spoke briefly at a rally at St. Jean the Baptiste hall on Church street. Dr. A. 7. Savard acted as chairman of the meeting and several men promi- nent in French fraternal work were on the program. Republicans Hold Rally A few yards around the cormer from the Stanley Works gate where the democratic standard bearers, Attorney McDonough was talking. three republican campaigners told employes of Fafnir Bearing Co. why they think former Mayor Quigley should be rcturned to the mayor's oftice. Town Committee Chairman .Gins- burg, George V. Hamlin, candidate for first selectman, and Donald L. Bartlett, the defcated candidate for the republican mayoralty nomina- |tion, spoke. Mr. Hamlin spoke briefiy. Ho |told the gathering that the republi- can ticket consisted of men ho| were tried and were found true. He | urged that the voters support the entire ticket. In introducing Mr. Bartlett, Attor- | ney Ginsburg said Candidate Quig- ley was “very seriously ill with| pneumonia.” He said his rival in | the republican primary was glad to | take his place and finish the cam- paign for him. Mr. Bartlett said he spoke at the Fatnir gate a week ago Friday and | on that occasion he was camgaign- | ing on his own behalf. He said he was glad to return on this occasion and speak in the interest of Mr. Quigley. According to Mr. Bartlelt Candi- date Quigley is much better today but he has a long siege of sickness ahead of him. He said a vote 1to- morrow should be for a man of cx- perience rather than an experiment. Mr. Bartlett urged the voters | to {announced think carefully and vote carefully | Kelly Hits 6th Ward “Stand Patters” Warning his audience to consider the candidates before they vote to-| morrow, Martin J. Kelly. candidate | for mayor on the independent ticket, | demanded to know what cither par- | 'ty had accomplished during their | vears of governing the city, this noon at the factory gate of North & Judd on East Main street, “Think twice before You pull the lever and make yourself a member of a jury to witness the mistakes of the government you are electing for the coming two years. Continuing, he said: “Now it appears, in the case of the sixth ward at leasf, to have been a jug-handled affair, one in which it should be a cinch for the bosses to win and thesoters to lose. The be- | nevolent cooperation between the two | machines should be reprehensible. It should meet with a wave of con- { demnation by the fairminded voter from every quarter, with the excep- tion of those who have been fed at the taxpayers' expense and wishes to continue. So we come to the sad conclusion that there are men who | do not find the accumulation of still | more jobs at the expense of the poor workers and taxpayers and that these are men of wealth whose driv- ing force is greed. “The strength of the independent party movement against monopoly in the form of stalwart, stand-pat politicians is becoming apparent to corporationists that they are begin- ning to sneer at it. This is a famil- iar gesture on the part of the mo- nopolists. “They say to themselves, ‘we must not dignify this movement by square- ly opposing if. That would tip off our self-interest, our fear of losing, our grip on the privileges we enjoy and would immediately arouse the suspicions of the people and thus strengthen the growing army that is marching against us.’-This is exactly the attitude the six ward stand-pat- ters have taken. “Mr. Voter, please check up on the bargain counter, swapping and log-rolling tactics of the two ma- chines. They are telling you that you are throwing your vote away if you don't vote that way. Voters. you have been throwing your vote away for years by voting for what you didn't want. “Voters, isn't it about time you voted for what you did want even though you may not be successtul this time you will eventually get what you vote for and what you want. : “The protest against the policies of the old machines partics of our city government will result in a strong protest vote for the independ- ent party tomorrow. “The failure of the past adniin tration’s cfforts to successfully car- ry out one major project within the entire year, the economic depres- sion, the obvious failure to remedy the unemployment condition, have created dissatisfaction throughout our city and the voters will, we be- lieve, register their protest at the ballot box tomorrow. “The reports from practically every section of the city indicate a big protest vote because of the fail- ure of the stand-patters to achieve their aimes, to make the people be- lieve they were prosperous when there s a waiting list at the city hall of 1,500 men who are unem- ployed, and the taxpayers losing their homes on account of the fail- ure of the government.” Rebel Gandhi’s March of Protest Against British Rule in India W.
