LOSE CONTROL 0F

SEEKS TO RETAIN OPERATION
Panama Canal Clause Turned Against The New England Road-Decision Will Hold With Agreed Decree"
 That Trade Is Restrained.

i Washington.-The New York. New 1 Haven and Hartford Railroad Com. i pany must part with it's Sound steam. CTS. The application of the New Hay i en to retain control of these water i lines under the provisions of the Pa mama Canal Act will be denied by the i Interstate Commerce Commission. The agreed decree" between the Department of Justice and the New Haven providing for the separation of l the road from it's holdings in outside transportation companies, entered i Oct. r, stipulated that the dispesi- 1 tion of the stock in the New England
 Steamship Company and the Hartford
 and New York Transportation Com
 pany should be left to the Interstate i Commerce Commission.
 The New Haven previously had ap- l piled for the retention of it's ownership 1 in these water lines, claiming that under the Panama Canal Act it had a right to continue their operation. A
 provision in this act makes it unlawful for any railroad company to have any | interest whatever, by stock ownership
 or otherwise in any common carrier l by water operated through the Pana-
 ma Canal. or elsewhere. with which i the railroad company may compete for
 traffic.
 With action by the Interstate Com
 merce Commission, the New Haven Company will be directed to sell all | wharves and water terminals operated 1 as a part of the Sound steamers.
 There were nine Sound lines of the 1 New Haven. Eight were under direct
 ownership of the New England Steam i ship Company The New York. Fall
 River (Mass), Hartford and New
 London terminal leaseholds were very valuable.

Is Relocation improvement
 The public utilities commission has set a hearing on the petition Of the Connecticut Company against an or der of tue seleotman of the town of Bloomfield ordering the relocation of trae ss operated by the company on Blue Hills avenue from the town lins between Hartford and Bloomfield to Bloomfield. The order was passed by the town on November 6. and re. quires many changes in location and grade, particularly that the tracks be the road to a line nearer the eeuter of the highway The reason Is given that the high tension feed wires of tbe trolley poles come in contact with the trees and form a public danger. The same order was given the Farm ington Power Company. which has it's high power wires in similar location. The company protests the order on the ground that it is not given as part of any public improvement now 6n progress or intended by the town. Chapter lS4 of tue Public Acts of t9oa regaiTes tbat no utilities company sbad be required to make changes along its right of way unless such changes shall be made as a public Improvement The question for the utilities commission to decide will be whether the order is of this nature.

MAUI CHAMBER
FAVORABLE TO
noon meetings

Especial Star-BuIIetin Correspondence
WAILUKU, Mari, Nov. 14.-Voting
as success the plan for a weekly
meeting to be held at noon in the form
of a luncheon the Maui Chamber OF
Commerce held a session last Thurs
day having borrowed the idea from
the Honolulu AID Club. About 80 mem
bers of the organization were present
and it was unanimously agreed that
the new custom would become habit.
Frank F. Baldwin, president of the
chamber, called the meeting together
after the luncheon was over. Direct
or Bevins of the Civic Convention
made a report concerning the, financial
condition of the convention. saying
that the total cost was $2941.20, ana
that a little more than $500 was need
ed to settle all obligations. 1T was
voted to take this from the funds now
in the hands of the treasurer. Presi-
dent Baldwin remarked that the con-
vention has cost about 20 per cent
more than it was expected to cost, but
that it was some 200 per cent better
than the committee, who made the ar
rangements, had dared hope for. 1T
The committee on the Haleakala
rest house, through the chairman, w.
o. Aiken, made lengthy report. Pro-
gress has been made so that it is ex-
pected that bids will actually be in
the hands of the COMMITTEES before the
next meeting of the chamber. 1T was
decided by all the members of the
rest house committee that the new
house would be Just above the pre-
sent stone structure at the top of the
mountain, and so arranged that peo-
pie would be able to spend the night.
The general plan adopted thus far
is that of having windows facing the
crater and West Maui, so the view In
either direction can be enjoyed with
out severe cold and the nnpleasantness
of standing out OF doors.
