The steam trawler's rail was splin-

damage is believed to have been small.
No person was injured SO far as Is
known.
The incident is supposed here to have
been the outcome OF long standing
antagonism between the steam trawI-

fishing captains claim that the trawl-
ers have done much damage to their
gear besides depicting their catches.

The same vessels which brought the
report of the Senator Gardner episode,
also reported that the captain of q
French hand-line schooner, which had
lost nearly all her OUTFIT through the
operations of another steam trawler,
ished revolver, demanding that dam

the steamers deck.
Captain Vincent Nelson is in COM

schooner reported to have taken the
initiative in the action against the
trawlers. Captain Nelson had been for
two days awaiting a chance to set his
lines. He had no sooner sent his dorles

seen to bear down upon them.
Captain Nelson tried to induce the
trawiers to move away from his lines.

CONTROL RAILROAD
MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURE HAS
SUPERVISION OVER PORTION.
END of Three Years Controversy Comes
when New Haven Road Gets
Control of Boston and
Maine Mileage.

Boston, June 15.-The passage by the
Massachusetts, House today of the Bos-
ton railroad holding company bill, is
regarded as practically bringing to a
close q three years controversy over
the railroad situation in New England
as giving the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad control over the
Boston and Maine Railroad, with GER
tain restrictions. The bill had already
passed the Senate.
Several large stockholders In the
Boston and Maine Railroad had sold
their holdings to the New Haven Rail-
road. Governor Guild called the at
tention of the Legislature of 1907 to the
matter and ordered proceedings begun
against the New Haven Company. The
Legislature failed to solve the con-
troversy and the MassachHsetts SUI
preme Court. meanwhile decided that
the action Of the New Haven Road
was illegal. The New Haven Road la
ter carried out the provisions of the
courts decision by selling the Boston
and Maine stock to John l. Billiard of
Meriden, Conn.
Last April, Governor Draper sent a
message to the Legislature suggesting
the holding company plant. The Gov
ernor's bill provides for the incorpora-
ton of the Boston Railroad Holding
Company by three Massachusetts, cIti-
zenss-- The new company is to be
financed by some railroad company,
presumably the New Haven, and the
Billiard holdings are to be purchased
and held by It. The stock cannot be
sold, unless by permission OF the Leg
islature. The bill gives the New Ha-
ven Company practical control OF nearly
hree-quarters of the railroad mileage
in New England, but with Massachu-
sett's supervision over part of 1t.
