SALE FAVORED BY BAuGHMAN
In Accord With Governor as to Wash.
ington Branch.

Any idea that the statement sent to the
beard of public works Tuesday by Senator
Goiman and Gen. L. Victor Baughman con-
cerEing the Washington branch of the Bal
tinore and Ohio railroad might be In any
way in conflict with the views of Governor
Warfeld, who has expressed himself as IA
foring the sale of the states interest in the
road. was corrected yesterday by General
Baughman. who emphatically declared him
self in thorough accord with the stand taken
by the governor.
1t now seems that there will be no diyi
sion in the board of public works as to the
advisability of selling the states interest.
and the only point upon which differences OF
opinion are likely to arise is that of what
constitutes an adequate price
Additional interest was lent to the discus
sion by the intimation that before long
much or the western travel of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which now passes over
the Washington branch may cease to take
that route, and that there is a probability
that the road will find another one for ifs
western traffic than through Washington.
There seems to be but one opinion as to
the probable purchaser of the states inter-
est. it being generally conceded that the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company is tina
only corporation or individual that wonld
be benefited by paying an adequate price"
ioi a iifticifty iiieitSt, as tndt corporation
already owns two-thirds of the stock
Acting In accordance with the decision of
the board OF public works. after readinp
the statement and correspondence submitted
by Senator German and General Baughman
as directors on the part of the state. the
governor held a conference with Attorney
General Bryan on the legal steps necessary
with the result that Mr.. Frank " Rhodes
has been employed to gather information
which will be necessary before any deter
miration can be arrived at
In regard TO the sale of the states in
terest Attorney General Bryan has stated:
II am unequiyocally in favor of it. ana
have so expressed myself before I think
the state should get cut OF the raj road bus.-
ness. the banking business and the tnrn
pike business and confine itself entirely to
the governing business. In disposing of the
states interest IN this road am, of course,
in favor OF selling 1t only for an adequate
price, as 1t is a valuable asset
