BUFFALO, Dec. 16.-For a month or
more reports have been in circulation
in financial circles, which represented
that either the Buffalo, Rochester and
P%ittsburg. or the Lackawanna would
eventually acquire the Buffalo and
Susquehanna when organized, and
taken out of the hands Of its receiver.
Now comes a supplementary story
from .Pittsburg, which cannot be con-
firmed. 1t says:

sented to the Legislature a year ago to
authorize a special election to decide
the question, but 1t was buried in

that the chances of success are good.

RED BANK POLICE
UNABLE TO SHAKE
STORY OF GALAT|
Suspected Kidnapper, Though
Badly Frightened, Main
tains SulIen Silence.
Especial to the Newark star.I

RED BANK, Dec. 16.-Sullen and de-
flant, Salvatore Galati, suspected Of
being implicated in the kidnapping Of
Mamie Pitello, is proving a battling
problem to the police. While the au-
thoritles are morally certain that both
he and the father of the child know
more than they will tell, so far only
confused and conflicting stories nave
been obtained. That the suspect is a
member of the New York gang of kid
nappers the police are today positive.
The child. who is but 4 years old, was
stolen October 10 and was returned to
her home one week AGO. and both Chief
of Police ]. Frank Patterson and Coun-
ty Detective Elwood Minugh are posi-
tive that they have the Italian who
brought her back.
Taken TO New York.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitello and the little
girl were at the hearing held yesterday
afternoon. Mamie positively identified
Galati as the Italian who brought her
home and also said that he was the
one who bought her a new fur coat,
hat, white mittens and new shoes and
stockings. Mamie couldn't tell where
she was taken, but gave such a de-
scription of her trip hat would lead to
the belief that she was taken to New
York. She said there were no other
children in the same room with her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pitello both testified they
knew Galati, as he had boarded at their
home for about five months.
Think He Is Member of New York Gang,
Galati swore he a not been in Red
Bank within a month and a half, al
though Mrs. Pitello said she had seer
him last week. 1t was brought out In
the testimony that he left the PitellC
house last Friday morning for New
York, and al envelope found on hin
showed he had received a letter herr
from his uncle, ". Galati, importer O.
wines and liquors. at 1922 First avenue
New York, December 8. The polio,
think Galati was SEN by the gang il

ing that he had not paid any ransom
Galati appeared extremely nervous am
frightened and after contradicting him
self concerning his whereabouts of lat
refused TO talk. He is but 10 years oil
and formerly worked for the Monmo t.

LITTLE HURT BY FROST
Manager Of Citrus Exchange Puts Loss
at per Cent as Result Of
Careful investigation.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.--Less than five

r. p. Burton, sales manager for the
Florida Citrus Exchange at Tampa,
whose experience covers "a years. He
says less than per cent Of the crop

I'VE have heard from all sections
of the orange belt,' his report states.
"and 1t is upon the most exact esti.

personal knowledge of conditions, that

not been severe enough to do the
damage that some interested parties
would have outsiders believe.
Some years ago sold So per cent
of my orange crop to Chicago people,
who saw 1t within two weeks after
the temperature had registered 21 de-
grees, and | got fair price for It.

RUSSIANS ARE
ALARMED now
The Outlook In the Orient According
to Business Mans Report Shows
Dangerous situation to
Russia.
JAPs ARE VERY ACTIVE
1t Is Believed an Attempt viii be
Made to Win the Control Of
the Korean From
tier.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 1o.-The
most influential circles in Russia are
again regarding the outlook in the
orient with the gravest concern. They
are profoundly disturbed by t he
lengthy confidential report prepared
by M. Glesmer, member of the in
dustrlal delegation in the Council OF
the Empire, who made tour of in.
vestigation in Japan and Russia's
eastern frontier territories.
M. Glesmer went to tho orient some
time before Finance Minister Kok.
ovtzeff, for the purpose On acquiring
independent information. in case the
government should launch ,licy in
volvlng the interests of the Russian
business world. A report which he
wrote for sE'all number OF friends in
the Council OF the Empire, and the
Duma represented the situatirn n so
dangerous that its circulation until
Foreign Minister Isvolsky could issue
a note on the satisfactory state of the
Russo-Japanese diplomatic relations,
which was launched fortnight ago.
The report of NJ Glesmer, which
comes from one of the most eminent
and most successful business men of
Russia, maintains the view that Japan
is again bent on taking the aggres-
sive. He says her economic position
Is perfectly sound.
There will be no Japanese loan in
the coming year. She is reaping three
harvests yearly. She has an annual
food supply enough for S0,000,O00 pop
ulation, although she has only 55,000,-
600.
She is preparing a military trans
port organization of zoe, 900 rickshaws
and coolies, which will be much more
efficient than horse transports. The
spirit of the people is still resolute
M. Glesmer was present at a fire in
Japan, where 10000 houses were raz-
ed, yet he found that not one Of the
sufferers became a beggar or sought
public help. He is convinced that the
Japanese will use all their strength
to drive Russia back from the Korean
frontier. The Anglo-Japanese alliance
will be of no avail to stop this.
Japanese statesmen are already
turning their minds to an alliance
with Germany. Their two young
navies could cooperate on opposite
sides of the world, the German fleet
holding the English in European wa
tiers. The attitude taken by the Unit
ed States, writes M. Glesmer, will be
a decisive factor. He believes that
the American government will adopt
a passive role.
