B. and o. Receivers Yield to the Re-
organization Committee.

BALTIMORE, Md, April pam agree
ment has been reached between the re-
ceivers of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
end the local reorganization committee by
Shich the latter will be allowed fun access
to the books of the company without re-
course TO the courts, as has been threat
eI ed 1t is considered probable that the
local committee will be furnished with
copies of the report now being made by
Expert Little for the New York committee
and that all concerned will in future act in
concert TO a greater extent than has been
the case.
An authority on such matters is quoted
here as stating that the earnings of the
Baltimore end Ohio system are increasing
at the rate of 5000 a day and that the
neXt showing of earnings will be the most
satisfactory in the recent history Of the
road. This result has been reached by
reason of the increased efficiency of the
service.

with the ample returns which
always follow judicious invest

ton, one pneumatic dynamite gun, 1000
pounds of dynamite. 1000 machetes and
