The subcommittee appointed Tuesday at
the New York conference of passenger
agents to formulate a plan for settling the
transcontinental rate trouble reported back
to the main body yesterday announcing its
inability to agree on any basis of settle
ment. The main propositions were present
ed in the sessions of the subcommittee, one
to restore rates and submit to arbitration
the questions involved, the other to let the
rates alone during the arbitration proceed
fngs. Neither met the wishes of all parties,
partly because the situation in local rates
in Canada as between the Grand Trunk and
the Canadian Pacific was so strained that
no arbitration seemed possible. Chairman
Martin, of the subcommittee. said he was
if further time were given, and the sub
committee was continued. IL will report at
another meeting at o'clock this afternoon.

DEATH OF RAILWAY MEN
w. r. WHITE, PASSENGER TRAFFIC
MANAGER OF THE SANTA FE,
And j. G. Sehriever, Southern Pa
lofts RepOrt-Lake Shore Dividend.

William F. White passenger traffic man.
ager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe.
and one Of the best known passenger men
in the United States, died suddenly last
night at his home in Highland Park, thirty
miles north of Chicago. Mr.. White had been
ill for several days with complication of
tonsilitis and grip, but it was not known
that he was in any danger of death. Mr..
White practically grew up with the Atchi-
son road and was identified with the COM
pany even before it became the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe and when it was known
as the Kansas & Nebraska road. His rail
road service was limited to his connection
with the Atchison system, of which he be-
came general passenger and ticket agent in
1878. In 1887 he was appointed general traffic
manager, and held that position until 1889,
when the freight and passenger departments
were separated and Mr.. White became pas
senger traffic manager. He had held that
position through all of the changes made in
the management of the Atchison road and
was considered one of the most capable
men in his line in the country. Personally
Mr.. White had the faculty of making
friends easily and holding them long Pres
dent Ripley, of the Atchison road, said yes
terday afternoon: Mr. Whites official as
well as his personal character was above re-
proach and his personality such as to at
tract all with whom he came in contact.
He leaves the best of all legacies-a stain
less reputation. To the Santa Fe Company
especially his death is a great misfortune,
as he had been one of its officers for many
years and was thoroughly familiar with the
property and all it's history We shall great
ly miss his genial presence and his sound
counsels." The funeral will be held Thurs
day morning. No action has been taken
toward appointing his successor.

WILL NOT SELL CUBA.
Spain Unwilling TO Sell the Island nj
Amy Price.

MADRID, March ia semi official
agency to-day publishes the following an
nouncement: 1t is useless TO talk of the sale
of Cuba. The question could not be ar
ranged except by Parliament and ii is i'm
possible that any Spanish chamber would
agree TO sell the island at any price.
The Financial Press comments on the ia
cility with which Spain has supported the
heavy financial burdens incurred on ac-
count of the Instructions in Cuba and the
Philippine islands, and points out that, al
though since Senior Sagasta has been pre-
mier the cost of the wars has exceeded 800
coo 900 pesetas. the note circulation of the
Bank of Spain has only increased from
ia, 1926 306 to !, 259, $50 $50 pesetas. On this
showing the Press asserts that no one
doubts that ii fresh loan should be re-
quired it could be raised as easily was
the case with the loan raised a year ago.
FL Herado, in very oonciliatory article
supposed in official circles to be inspired
after pooh pooling the Fiction that Spain
desires to provoke a war" says: If the
United States really wishes peace and Spain
Is resolved to maintain Ii, let each go halt
way, and the pacifcation of Cuba and the
tranquility OF Europe will be accom-
DliShed.

Lake shore stockholders Fortunate.

The opinion seems to be general that it
was wise for the New York Central to Sc
cure control of the Lake Shore through q
stock ownership, and thus effect a perma-
nent union of the properties. which, if not
absolutely necessary, is exceedingly desir-
able, when viewed from the standpoint of
the welfare of both. Before this deal the
bond uniting them was only the ownership
by the same parties of stock in the two
properties and it is conceivable that this
situation might have changed. The Lake
Shore stock for which per cent. bonds of
the New York Central are issued, has paid
a dividend of per cent. per annum for
several years, and there has been carried
to surplus account a respectable sum each
year At the beginning OF last year the
stock was selling for between $50 and leo;
now the holders receive 200 in New York
Central bonds. with the stock as collateral.
They thus have an g. instead of per cent.
investment, calculated on the par value,
with their own stock as security, and the
additional security of the credit OF the New
York Central Company.
