water power concerns and public service
companies" the commissioner saws:
The companies in the General Elec
| trio group control street railways in Is
towns, electric lighting plants in rs, and
gas plants in 49, Altogether, water
power or allied companies own or CON
troll and operate street railways in Ill
towns, electric lighting plants in 6G9
towns and gas plants in ll3 towns.
"The reasons for this are obvious.
Control of the chief consumers of power
both insures a market for power and
excludes others. This connection be-
tween great power groups and the agen-
cies that directly serve the public is of
serious public significance"
Regarding interlocking directorates,
Mr. Smith says:
"A more general relationship, of
sort not peculiar TO waterpower, but
nevertheless of broad public significance,
is best illustrated in the General Flee
trio company. Men who are officers or
directors in that company, or of its three
wholly controlled subsidiaries, are also
officers and directors in many other cor
porations. These other companies, with
their subsidiaries, and with the General
Electric and its subsidiaries, make far
reaching group thus interconnected by
active personal and financial relationship
This one group of nter-relationships
controls or influences "a corporations
that operate hydro-electric plants; over
80 public service corporations, not count
ing as many minor subsidiaries; more
than dozen railroads.; numerous ilf-
dustrial corporations; and, finally, over
80 banks and financial houses, many of
them in the first rank of Importance.
About 20 General Electric men in all
constitute most of this chain of connec-
ton, three of these being members of
the firm of j. p. Morgan g. Co., which
is generally regarded as the dominant
interest in the General Electric company.
These connections in no sense always
mean control by the General Electric
Co, or even identity of policy. They
do, however mean a striking degree OF
of interest"

cious manner near the church while the

The Broadway church is one Of the
handsomest in New Jersey, and was
erected ten years ago at cost Of abous

During Past Year, Declared
President Fitzhugh
IN THE CLOSING STATEMENT
He Reported This in Pointing Out to
Boston People the Advantage 1t Will
Be to Have the Grand
Trunk Enter.

Boston, March l5.--E. H, Fitzhugh
president of the Southern New England
! Railroad company, made closing state
ment to the committee on railroads yes
terday, setting forth the position OF
his company in asking authority to
/ extend its lines to Boston and Worces-
! ter
He said he understood there is still
some question in the minds of certain
persons as to the good faith of his COM
pany in making its request; the same
attitude was met in Rhode Island, when
the company sought to reach Providence,
and it was answered by the action Of
the company in beginning construction
as soon as 1t was permitted to do so.
Il want to say" he said, that if we
are granted permission to do 40, we
shall certainly undertake and complete
the building OF these lines we have
asked for as quickly as it Is possible to
do so.
1--WE believe that we can greatly in
crease the business to and through the
port of Boston. In the great western
~
who are soliciting traffic for our lines,
and if we are permitted to come to Bos-
ton their energies will be directed to-
ward securing business for this port.
IF we are permitted to come to
Boston. we shall do all in our power
to assist you in building up your port, =
He said the Grand Trunk has Euro
pean traffic manager located in London,
but this official has had great difficulty
in routing cargoes in such a way that
the Grand Trunk viii get a long haul,
simply because vessel owners dislike TO
come to Boston, as they are required
after discharging to 90 elsewhere to
secure return cargo. He pointed out
that when he took hold Of the Cen
trail Vermont road in 1899 its earnings
were only slightly over three millions of
dollars, but last year this amount had
been increased to more than four mil
lions, because Of the interest Of the
Grand Trunk officials in bringing bus
mess to the Central Vermont line.
What they have done for that line, he
said, they viii do to an even greater
extent for these new lines, if authorized
to build them.
IF you viii give us the right to
do so, he said, "and in such a way
that the cost will not be excessive, the
Grand Trunk will extend its lines to
Foston and Worcester, and we viii give
to those sections of the state additional
facilities Of which they are very much /
in need
Representative Bazeley asked wheth- /
er the provision that the Grand Trunk /
may use the terminal Of the Boston & |
Maine is essential to the plan, and Mr. /
replied that it Is highly inn
portant Mr., Bazeley suggested that /
many feel that the North station is al /
