COAST LINE DEAL PROBABLE
Absorption of Louisville & Nashville
Thought TO BE Practically
Contaminated.

BALTIMORE, July 27.-It is impossible
to obtain an authoritative expression OF
opinion on the report that negotiations are
pending looking to the absorption by the
Atlantic Coast Line Of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad, which is controlled by
]. P. Morgan & Co.
In financial circles here the general i'm
preston prevails that the report is we'll
founded.
IT think Mr.. Morgan has already practi-
cally turned the road over to the Coast
Line" said a member OF one Of the lead
ing banking firms. 1.-THE two roads do not
parallel anywhere and have a physical con-
nection at Augusta, Ca, through the Geor-
gia railroad, which runs from Atlanta to
Augusta, and is leased jointly by them.
Such a deal would eliminate that hos
tility in Tennessee and Kentucky which has
been aroused by the rumor that the Louis
Vile a Nashville will be merged with the
Southern Railway.
These roads parallel and are COMPETE
tors in both states, and following the report
Governor McMlllin of Tennessee has threat
ened to call a special session Of the legis-
lature to pass a law that would prevent a
merger. 1t is thought that when Mr.. Nor
gan purchased the Louisville & Nashville
he had in view its transfer to the Coast
Line.
Morgan & Co. manage the Southern Rail-
way and have been working in complete
harmony with the Coast Line. The absorp-
ton OF the Louisville & Nashville would
give the Coast Linz control of the railroad
situation In the south east of the Missis-
sippi river"
The outstanding stock of the Louisville
& Nashville amounts to $50, 000. 900. and II
the plan OF Morgan a Co. to pay $50 a
share for 1t Is carried out 500, 900. 900 will
be required to complete the deal.
In round numbers the combined mileage
Of the Coast Line system and the Louisville
& Nashville is $500. Henry Walters and
Michael Jenkins, who control the affairs of
the Coast Line, are out Of the city. Mr..
Walters is thought to be In New York and
would likely conduct the negotiations with
Mr.. Morgan or his representative.
Mr.. Jenkins left Baltimore Thursday with
his family for the White mountains. Mr..
Walters is vice president Of the Coast Line
Railroad company and president of the par
ent company. Mr.. Jenkins is president OF
the former and vice president OF the latter,
Walter Newcomer, another Coast Lin on
cial, Is away on his vacation.

Hermann Recommends Creation
of Forest Reserves.
TO PROTECT WATER SUPPLY
Asks for Repeal or Medication of
the Present Timber Laws
to Save the Timber.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The important
feature of Land Commissioner Her.
mann's annual report, submitted today,
is recommendation for the immediate
withdrawal from disposal of part OF
oil the public lands which are more
valuable for forest purposes than for
other uses. This step is urged in view
of the heavy isroads being :.made upon
tho public timber and the resulting
damage to water supply. If this step
cannot be taken, 1t is urged as absolute.
ly necessary that the timber and stone
act, passed 80 years ago, be either re-
pealed or materially modified. Two
dollars and half an acre for timber
land is mere nominal price, when the
land is often worth 800 per acre.
''If the timber and stone act is to con-
tinue in force," said Commissioner
Hermann today, "it should be modi-
fed to allow the Government to get
fair price for it's timber lands. Since the
enactment of the present law, so years
ago, the Government has realized 6but
$4,000, 900, when the lands disposed of
were worth $3.50 900, ,O02eat tha lowest
figure. believe free use of public
timber in limited quantities should be
allowed settlers and miners for domes-
tic purposes, but all timber taken from
the public domain for commercial and
manufacturing purposes SHOULD be pur.
chased at fair price. Under the pres
ent Law timber valued at not less,than
800, 900, 900 has been stolen or de-
stroyed. Under a revised law, properly
enforced by an adequate ranger force,
this should not continue"
The new rule of the department al
loving the Woolgrowers Association to
take charge of the allotment of sheep
and range in forest reserves where
sheep grazing was allowed sduring the
past season did not always prove salts
factory. and caused more delays in is- !
suing permits than under the former
system. Investigations made.by forest
inspectors indicate! that generally too
many sheep were allowed in the re-
serves, and that the number must be
materially decreased next year.
Attempts to prosecute fraudulent en-
tryman have been greatly hampered be-
cause of the refusal of witnesses to give
testimony before local land officers,
either from intimidation or other causes.
To overcome this, the Commissioner
reRews his recommendation for the en-
actment of a law compelling sthe at
tendance of witnesses in such cases un.
der penalty. A forcibe argument is
made on the necessity oif extending
public surveys to Alaska. 1t is shown
that the lack of these surveys is greatly
retarding the development of lumber
ing, agricultural, coal and mineral de-
