GRAND rRuNK sroRY DENIED
Fitzhush Says Road viii Not Extend
Line to Palmer

Montreal, May 25.-E II. Fitzhugh
vice president of the Grand Trunk,
was considerably surprised on return
ing to Montreal from his Ontario trip
at a report from Boston that the
Grand Trunk would extend the Cen
trail Vermont tracks to Windsor and
across the Connecticut river to Cor
nlsh, and then build their own tracks
through New Hampshire into Massa-
chusetts at Palmer to connect with
the projected Massachusetts line to
Providence,
Mr.. Fitzhugh said there was not a
word of truth in this story. And,
what is more,' he added, there is
not the slightest foundation for it,,
either
He declined to discuss the route by
which the Grand Trunk would make
connections saying at the present
! time it was impossible to give out de-
tails for the simple reason that moth
ing had been definitely decided.
Other officials confirmed this state
ment, adding that several parties of
Grand Trunk engineers are now in
q lit Htluf AlelhAhb o0i y -
When their reports were handed in,
the alternative routes they had sur
veyed would be compared and the
most practical chosen. This prelim-
mary work is being pushed ahead
with all possible speed, for having de-
cided in the extension Mr. Hays is de-
termined to get it completed at the
earliest possible moment, especially
in view of the antagonism manifested
by other roads which places the
Grand Trunk at a disadvantage in
New England territory for the time
being
1t will probably be several weeks at
the very earliest before the route is
made known, and perhaps as many
months, for in view of the boost
which the announcement would give
to prices OF property along the route
the Grand Trunk officials may be re-
lied on to keep the details dark till
the last possible moment

MORE RAILWAY BILL PLANS
Regulars Hope for Vote Before Week
Ends-lnsurgent Hold Out

Washington, May 24.-The Senate
esumes today its consideration Of the
railroad bill and the leaders are talk
ing hopefully of getting vote before
the end of the week. Exactly how
this speed Is figured out does not
appear, for the Insurgents have reso-
lutely so far refused to commit them
selves to a definite date and have
steadily insisted that important
amendments are still pending that
will bring on extended discussion.
What is really troubling the regu-
airs about the railroad bill situation
now is the outlook in regard to the
pending Cummins amendment extend

confidently asserted last week they

has already been pointed out feel

could change enough votes to pass
the amendments safely.
