eETWEEN NEW YORK AND NEW
ENGLAND POINTS.
Thus Avoiding Transfer at South and
North Station at Boston.

Boston.-A new and direct route
between New York and Boston and
points in New Hampshire and Maine
will be opened to travellers on June
%. For the first time there will be
afforded a way by which the transfer
between the South and North Sta
tions in Boston can be avoided, thus
insuring greater comfort and con.
venience and saving valuable time in
the journey to many of New Eng.
lands resorts.
The new trains from New York by
this route through central Massachu-
sets will land their passengers at
the North Station, from whence trains
may be taken to points in New
Hampshire and Maine. Likewise,
persons living north of Boston can
take trains into the North Station
and without leaving the station take
trains to Northampton, Springfield
and New York
This new route has been made pos
sible by the construction of the
Hampden Railroad connecting the
Boston and Maine with the New
York, New Haven and Hartford at
Springfield. The connecting link be.
tween the two systems runs from
Bondsville station on the Central
Massachusetts to Springfield, dis.
lance of 16 miles. 1t has been con
structed with heavy rails and favor
able grades and is especially designed
to handle heavy through trains and
sleepers.

That Lies In Wait for Hapiess Wee

Mile Long.

New York.-"Some time after the TT
tanic went down was possessed with
the idea Of going north in the hope OF
getting among the icebergs," writes
James B. Corrington. There had
been no year in the recollection OF
men who go down to the sea in ships
when such a feet of giaN icebergs
had been seen so far south. l wanted
to see them close at hand-those silent
messengers of the land of eternal
snow and ice, gray ghosts, embodi-
ments Of the spirit of the north, that
drift in procession with the ocean cur-
rents and at the winds win, to lie in
wait, maybe, for some luckless skip
per to send some vessel and all aboard
to the port of missing ships, and at
last to topple and die at the bidding
of the sun. The thought of them
fascinated me.
Their menace to navigation is ale
ways very real and constant one,
and hardly a ship that passed along
the Newfoundland banks last year
but had report Of ice written in her
log. The greatest tragedy of the sea-
the loss of the Titanic, would proba-
bly, not have happened in a normal
year Of ice-and 1t is normal condi-
tons that ships expect to meet and
for which they are prepared.

The tar on the docks was soft from
the scorching heat land even the
breeze from the bay was hot. 1t was
the beginning Of one Of the sizzling
spells Of July. A few days later l was
talking with the officers of the ship
about the number of icebergs they
had passed on their last trip and Of
the ships that had gone north and
never been heard from, caught and
chewed up in the ice"
There was distinct thrill in wax

and away off to port, near shore, there
was glistening mass Of ice that
stood out with distinctness against
the black, rocky shores. We passed
several other smaller pieces and one
big berg right at the mouth of St.
Johns harbor. A few days later 4

MAY MAKE NATION
RUN RAILROADS
Heads of Great Systems Tell Need of
Raise in Freight Rates

Boston-Public ownership may be
the direct consequence of allure to
grant railroads the right to raise their
rates 5 percent at once.
This was the burden of the plea of
the heads of three great railroad sys-
TENS to 700 representatives of New
England commercial organizations
at the Chamber of Commerce smoker
last week.
They declared that only this in
crease could prevent the hating of
railroad progress and their utter in
ability to get capital and prevent the
government being forced to operate
the railroads of the whole country.
1t was the first occasion in modern
commercial life when railroad heads
have conferred with the public on
such a question. The railroad heads,
including Presidents w. G. Brown of
the New York Central, Samuel Rea
of the Pennsylvania and Daniel Will
lard of the Baltimore and Ohio are
the moving spirits in the committee
representing the fifty-four roads inter-
ested.
President James j. Storrow of the
Chamber presided. Mayor Fitzgerald,
Chairman Macleod of the railroad
commission, and the heads of a score
of the large corporations were pres
ent. The principal address Was by
President Willard.
Unless the railroads are granted

FOSS is SUSTAINED ON MILK
BILL VETO.
Senate, 10 to II, Refuses to Pass
Meaney Bill Over Governor.

Boston-Governor Foss's veto Of
the Meaney milk bill requiring the
labelling of receptacles containing
pasteurized milk and milk produced
outside the Commonwealth, was sus-
tanned in the Senate by vote of 10
to II. The House passed the bill
over the veto by a vote of 1873 to &c.
There was a long debate. Senator
Fisher of Westford analysed the OBJ
lection of his excellency, declaring
that the Meaney milk bill would ex.
actly prevent the mixing of milk from
without the State. He said that the
governor by his veto message ex.
actly contradicts what he said in an
earlier message asking the Legisla-
ture to pass some legislation on the
distribution of milk.

not of quality.
President Brown of the New York
Central, lessees of the Boston and AL.
bany, referred to the stagnation on
that road in 1906, which led to its
operation being assumed by his road.
He said:
1T is to avert just exactly such q
condition as that extending over this
nation at that extending over this
nation that we are here to urge an in
crease of rates."
He asserted a bumper crop, larger
than that of last year, was promised
in the West.
Permanent Improvements will
come to a standstill. No prudent man
will invest money when the railroads
have to pay 61S percent for it's use"
he said. "The time has come when
the ability of the railroads to raise
capital depends on their ability to in
crease their earnings"
President Rea said he did not be-
lieve the business men would allow
anything approaching confiscation OF
the railroads to take place. He de-
clared that the increase in earnings
was imperative.
'1f this cannot be had, public own
ership is the only alternative" he
stated.
The Pennsylvania head urged that
legislators be selected who would not
worry and harass the railroads with
unnecessary regulations,
