Fletcher, which was made public-tonight. “The merger has been advantageous and profitable to New England from an operating standpoint,” says the re- port. “The industries and the public have gained in the character of the service. “Whether it was the wish of the administration to punish some greater banking house in New York, or to re- duce the market value of railroads in New England, looking toward govern- ment ownership later, or whether it was deemed necessary to have an ex- ample before Y order to pre- pare the public re drastic erial.” declares, New England railroad affairs, and has been for the benefit of the public, becauSe rates are fixed by law and because consolidation makes possible economic management. The bellef is also expressed that higher rates are necessary. Mr. Howe and Mr. Clement conclude with the statement that New England does not want state or federal owner- ship of railroads. “What is needed on public service commissions,” says the report, “is men who have knowledge when their inter- ference is not required and courage to let_well enough alone.” Uniform' legislation in New Eng- land regarding the lssue and sale of railroad securities is recommended, and it is suggested that the railroads be allowed to continue operation as near- 1y as possible as they were before the federal government interfered, CHARGED WITH USING MAILS TO DEFRAUD.

The first boat fell from the davits into the sea and was smashed. The occupants of the boat were thrown into the water but were rescued, A second boat was swung out, but with no better success. Eventually all the passengers, numbering 130 emi- grants, and 86 of the crew, were safe- ly transferred to the Lyonnesse and landed at Hugh Town, Bt. Mary’'s L land, the ccapital of the group. Sev- eral of them were injured, one man having an arm broken and another suffering faom serious scalds.

Flights in the America were made by Glenn H. Curtiss, Lieutenant John C, Porter and George Hallett, all of whom expressed thémselves as well pleased with her behavior. The pilots ‘were 1aore enthusiastic over the per- formance of the machine than was its designer, Mr. Curtiss, however. “So far as the trials went the boat did what we expeced It'to do,” sald Mr. Curtiss. “Our big problem, however, lies in raising another fifteen hun- dred pounds from the water. When we have done that I shall be glad to enthuse. Before we attempt to fly the machine fully loaded I intend to add some auxillary water planes now in course of construction. Today's trials give me reason to hope we have made no mistake in our calculations. Experts who witnessed the flights expressed surprise at the ease with which Porter, who is to try to pilot the craft across the Atlantic, handled the big flying boat.

Before Taking Action on Invitation From Peace Commissioners, ‘Washington, June 23.—Mexican con- stitutionalists in Washington still awaited tonight the arrival of repre- sentatives enrout Rere with instruc- tions from General Carranza before taking any formal action on the invi- tation from the American peace com- missioners at Niagara Falls to meet with them and the Huerta delegates informally to discuss plans for the pa- cification of their country. The statement made in New Orleans today by Alfredo Breceda, one of Gen- eral Carranza’s confidential agents, that General Carranza heid @irmly to his attitude not to treat with Huerta except on the battlefleid and that he ‘would not accept the invitation from Niagara, brought no comment in offi- cial quarters. One representative of Carranza, however, sald that none of the constituticnallst representatives now here would join in an informal mediation conference without author- ization from Carranza. Despite the declarations by Afr. Bre- ceda, members of the cabinet who dis- cussed the miediation situation briefly with President Wilson expressed hope- ful views of the situation. Secretary Bryan declined to make any esmment further than to reiterate his persistent declaration of satisfactory progress. In administration circles expecta- tions were general that representatives of the constitutionalists eventually would be prevalled upon to -confer with the Americans and Huerta dele- gates at Niagara Falls. The mission to Washington of Mr. Breceda, who is coming with Fernando Igles Calderon and Lecpoldo Hur- data pinossa still is unknowa here. Rafael Zubaran the chief constitution- alist agent now here and his assoclates claim not to know the nature of thelr errand. It is significant. however, that Juan Urquidimet, the constit: tionalist agents at New Orleans toda: taking them a message from Wasl ington. Mr. Urquidi, it was learned, would proceed from Washington to | Galveston on business for the revolu- tionists and it was rumored that ,bhe might continue to Monterey or Sailtll- lo to cenfer directly with Carranza.

Senor Chamorro’s statement was re- ceived with surprise and led to much speculation among members of the committee after he left the capitol. Some members understood him to mean that Germany had officially ap- proached the Nicaraguan government and the minister's difficulty in speak- ing English prevented his statement from being entirely clear. Think German Bankers Responsible. Members of the committes who did not believe Germany had made any official suggestions to Nicaragua were inclined to the opinion that represent- atives of German bankers were re- sponsible for anything that had been done, or even that Nicaragua might not be averse to playing the American game of bluff. : It was recalled tonight that no na~- tion could expect to build a canal across Nicaragua to rival that at Pan- ama without expending hundreds of millions of dollars, and the opinion expressed that Germany bardly would be likely to engage in such an enterprise. That private banking in- stitutions, no matter how rich, should seriously contempiate such an under- taking, when there is some question as to whether the canal across Pana- ma ever will pay, was regarded as ex- tremely doubtful. Senor Chamorro was mnot _specific about the offer, but he tried to make it plain that whoever made it took pains to show Nicatagua that the United States was to get much more than she was entitled for $3,000,000. He appeared before the committes par- ticularly to speak of the political ef- fect upon Nicaragua of the provisions in the treaty by which the United States would assume a over the country and guarantee electlons thers as in Cuba. His testi- mony, members said, was most inter- esting. American Marines May Be Desired. ‘The minister was questioned at some length about the marines now in the republic.
