Senator Weeks Takes a Hand, It bacame mere than ever apparent today that only an agreement between the railroad and the depertment can keep the case out of the courts, Ben- ator Weeks called at the White House, and, speaking in plain language about the financial effect of delay, urged President Wilson to interfere te bring about a quick settlement. Later it was made known fhat the president would not interfere, The New Haven has consented to give up its steamship lines and has consented te trusteeships for the Bos- ton and Maine railread and its trolley holdings in Massachuseits, Rheds Is- Jand and Cenmeeticut. It ecame known tonight that the railread offi- cials at the last cenference at the de- partment agreed that if the depart- ment would select trustees to take over +he Rhede Island and Cennecticut trel- ley preperties from a list of names submitted by the New Haven, the sys- tem weould give up these limes and make no demands as to the length of irustees’ serviees.

Further Stens Necessary. The only other point that has pro ed difficult has been the question of length of the Bosten and Maine tru | teeship. The department has demand | ed not more than two years, the road has asked for rot less than two and a | half. It was understood tonight that a | compromise on the time for this trus- | teeship, with provision for an exten- the way an agreement will be near, It is known that the ratification of | an agreement by the department and Chairman ‘Elliott_for the New Haven must be followed by its sanction in seme United States court, by approval of the New Haven stockholders, and by legislative action by the state of Mas- sachuseits to previde clear titla for purchasers of the Boston and Maine, Doubt as te Massachusetts, The New Haven direetors have proved the steps taken hers by Elliott and their counsel, and their O.
