says: President Roosevelt will come to Col

SEABOARD RAILWAY PLANS
Meeting of the Rival Committees at
Baltimore Yesterday.

The two Baltimore committees of stock
holders of the Seaboard Air Line railway
met In Baltimore, Md, yesterday one in
dorsed the Blair-Ryan plan and the other
announced its policy of opposition. The IN
dorsement of the plan was made through
the protective committee, COMPOSED of
Gustavus ODER. H. A. Orrick Frank s
Hambeton, Townsend Scott and Simon
Stein. This committee issued the following
statement:
AT meeting of the Seaboard Air Line
protective committee held today il was de-
cided to announce that after careful ex-
animation and consideration of the plan OF
consolidation and deposit agreement of the
Seaboard Air Line. dated January L. 1905
suggested by the board of directors and a
personal investigation of the reouircnents
of the road the Seaboard Air Line pro
tective committee unanimously recommends
that the plan be promptly ratified by every
stockholder by the deposit of his stock with
the depositories-either the Continental
Trust Company of Baltimore or the Morton
Trust Company OF New York.
1T is the opinion of the committee that
with the proper expenditure of the $500
600 the system will be pl aced in pos .tion
not only 20 handle the present business.
but a largely increased tonnage (Which is
asSured) more efficiently and economically
than at present, which necessarily will ac-
crue to the advantage of every stock
holder
The other pooling committee. having in
charge the interests of holders of about
90, coo shares of the stock of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway Company, is composed Of
c. Ruhstrat c. Morton Stewart and
James l.. Sellman of Baltimore and Fred
erick +. Noting of Richmond. This com
mittee issued a statement, denying spe-
officially the accuracy of publication that.
the opposition to the Ryan-Blair plan is
confined virtually to ]. SHELTON Williams.
alleging that Mr.. Williams does not control
or influence the committee In any manner;
that the purpose of the committee is To
take care of the 10000 shares of stock now
behind it, and of others who may join; that
the date of February IL, arbitrarily named
by Ryan and Blair, is Of no. consequence or
significance at all, so far as the rights OF
stockholders of the Seaboard Air Line are
concerned: that almost complete sur
render of their rights is demanded of stock
holders as condition of their assent to tn
Ryan-Blair plan, and that the committee
is advised that no such surrender of Their
rights is necessary in order to entitle them
TO share equally with all other stockholders
i'm any benefits that may accrue from the
Ryan-Blair plan. The statement, signed
by all the members concludes as follows:
Eve are willing to meet Messrs. Ryan
and Blair or their representatives,, at any
time in a friendly and busnessiike spirit,
but we are not to be bulldozed nor intimi-
dated by anybody.

A crowded West Farms train of the I'd

ing passengers at the station at 149th street
and Sd avenue, in the Bronx, New York
city, was struck by the train running be-
hind it at 6:1O o'clock last evening One

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
CITIZENS OPPOSE RETENTION OF
GRADE CROSSINGS.
Hearing by a Subcommittee Of the
Senate Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia.

A hearing was held yesterday afternoon
in the rooms Of the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia for bills to au-
thorize the Commissioners to establish a
railroad storage yard for the District OF
Columbia in Garfield Park, and to permit
the Union Station Terminal Company to
increase it's baggage handling facilities by
making certain changes in the plan defined
in the act for the elimination of grade
crossings.
Col. Biddle Present.
The board of Commissioners was repre-
scented by Col. Biddle, Engineer Commits
sioner; s. c. Neale and John Cassels, and
George E. Hamilton represented the rail-
roads. Evan H. Tucker and Thomas w.
Smith presented the views of the East
Washington Citizens Association to the
committee, and Lorenzo A. Bailey appeared
Washington. Mr.. e. c. Nottingham, an
owner of property on x street southeast
along the line of the Pennsylvania railroad,
protested against the proposed change in
the bill.
Senators Dillingham; and Scott the sub
committee in charge Of the measure. after
listening to the various criticisms of the
bill, said they would have to visit the local
tiles affected by 1t In order to see the sit
uation. and in day or two they will be
driven over the sections in which it is pro-
posed to make the changes
Occupation Of X Street.
Mr.. Nottingham said that the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company had occupied the
roadway of K street southeast for thirty
years to the detriment of the property
there. The union station act proposed to
take them eff that street, and the people
had rejoiced over their final relief from the
tracks of the company. Now it is proposed
to retain the tracks and to retain six grade
crossings against which the act was orig
inally aimed.
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith said the Northeast
Washington Citizens Association was op
posed to any measure that revived grade
crossings after provision had been made
for their elimination. The proposed stor
age yard for the District in reservation II
would give only 100000 square feet of
ground, and that was not enough for the
needs of the District.
Mr.. Bailey said the storage yard closing New
Jersey avenue would necessitate long round
about route for the people of the south
east In order to come up town without
crossing a railroad track, and a round
about route even if they do cross tracks.
Mr. Smith said the change would pre-
vent the removal of the garbage plant at
the foot of New Jersey avenue. That
plant he said, was a nuisance, and should
be located in Virginia, to be reached by
short haul from the northwest over the
new highway bridge.

TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ELEVEN REPUBLICANS AND SIX
DEMOCRATS OPPOSED
Defeat Of the Substitute by Isl TO 1876
Mr.. Hepburn Defends
Himself.

After nearly four days of discussion the
House of Representatives yesterday after
noon, by vote of 800 to II. passed the
Esch-Townsend bill providing for the regu-
lation of freight rates. The negative vote
was made up of eleven republicans and six
democrats.
The closing hours of the debate were oc-
cupied by Messrs. Williams of Mississippi
the minority leader, and Hepburn of Iowa,
chairman of the committee which reported
the bill. Mr.. Williams, while supporting
the minority measure, even though he said
he knew 1t could not pass, complimented
the republicans for bringing in bill which
was much better than he expected would
come from them.
The speech of Mr.. Hepburn was rather In
defense of himself. He said that his deeds
and acts were a sufficient answer to the
lilies and SANDERS which had been heaped
upon him. The bill known as the Hepburn
bill, he said, had been prepared by the At
torney General, and he yielded to his col
leagues on the committee on the Esch-
Townsend bill only because he did not want
the committee to be the target for scrib-
blers who wanted sensational headlines He
devoted some time to strong preSenta-
ton of the merits of the majorityS meas
ure.
During the day the following members
spoke in favor of regulating freight rates:
Messrs. Thomas IN. c., Gillespie Tex),
Burnett and Bowie (Ala.), Kennedy (Ohio)
and Calderhead (Kans.)
Mr.. Shull (Pa.) opposed legislation of any
Kind.
