subsidiary line OF the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn is not yet known outside OF the
coterie OF fnanciers who are interested
in the deal. But the story is generally
believed in its main outlines. Should
the plan be carried out, Baltimore would
become the port terminal of three trunk
line railroads, which would add much to
its Importance as a shipping point.
Certain facts are pointed out as lend
ing credence to the idea that the Van
derbilt interests are seeking control of
the Western Maryland property. The
Pittsburg and Lake Erie lines are al
ready in the hands of the Vanderbilts.
These lines already connect with the
Western Maryland at Belington. w. Va.

construction of about eighty miles of
track between Cumberland and New Ha-
ven, the necessary link would be forged
for a comprehensive transportation sys-
tenn in West Virginia and Pennsylvania,
with Baltimore as a port outlet over
the lines of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie
system access would be had to the Smoky
City and the river transportation there
existing. 1t is thought that in the de-

West Virginia and Pennsylvania they are
reaching out after the Western Mary
land.
