BOSTON & MAINE CON-
FERENCE ADJOURNS
Governor .Walshs Control Plan Probably
Acceptable-Tenure of Once Is
Still Unsettled.

Washington, Feb. l9.-The conference
between officials OF the department OF
Justice, the state of Massachusetts and
of the New Haven railroad over the
terms OF the separation OF the Boston &
Maine from the New Haven came to
temporary end yesterday without a
final agreement being reached. Chair
man Elliott and counsel for the New
Haven left for directors meeting in
New York.
1t is understood that Elliott will pre-
sent for its sanction the terms of an
agreement which was worked out here.
He il not expected back until next week.
Ii is said on good authority that the
temporary suspension did not indicate
the failure to agree on the tentative list
OF five trustees which are to be submit
ted TO the attorney general to-day.
r. w. Gregory and Jesse G. Adkins,
representatives of the department, aud
Governor Walsh and George w. Ander
son of the. Massachusetts, public service
commission were said yesterday to favor
five trustees to serve for no more than
two years.
The New Haven, represented by Chair
er Hines, inclined TO i've year trustee
ship.
There were differences of opinion also
as to the makeup OF the board, but none
of these was believed to be vital and it
was hoped that settlement could be
reached Immediately,
Marcus P. Knowlton Of Springfield,
former chief justice of the supreme court
of Massachusetts,, will be the chairman
of the board of Boston & Maine trustees
under the reorganization plans being dis
cussed with the department of justice if
the interests which are not satisfied with
the selection of the New Haven officials
have their way The name of former
Governor Curtis Guild has been men
toned in connection with this position,
but il can be said upon authority that
General Guild is unwilling to serve.
Men of the type of A. Lawrence Low
ell, president of Harvard university, and
Alvah Croker the Fitchburg paper man
ufacturer. are desired also as trustees,
but list OF some 80 such men is being
considered by the officials of the de-
partment of Justice, of the New Haven
company and Governor Walsh, and no
party to the conference will make the
names public. The discussions continued
yesterday, as Tuesday, and it may be
several days before agreement, if any,
I is reached. A court decree to enforce
this agreement is not necessary at pres
ent, as all plans incident TO the re-
organization can be carried into effect
without the intervention of the court.
In due time, or several months later,
the agreement under which the merger
will be dissolved and the Boston &
Maine be operated will be embodied in
the form of an agreed court decree.

Organization Committee Re-
turns to Wash
ington
WILL, ESTABLISH
GEOGRAPHICAL LINES
Three Days More for Banks
to Become Mem
berS

Washington, Feb. l9.--With the re-
turn of the reserve bank organization
committee yesterday active work began
upon the definition OF the geographical
limits of the reserve districts and the
selection OF cities for reserve banks.
Under the law national banks, required
to enter the system or eventually give
mp their charters, have until Feb. % to
signify their intention to become mem
beers. Although only three hundred ma
tional banks of 1900 remained yester-
day on the list of those which had not
taken such action, it was understood
that the committee would withhold AN
nouncement OF cities and districts until
the time limit expires. Although the
committees trip through the country
may have changed its opinion of the
proper location of several banks, it is
not doubted here that banks will be
placed in New York, Chicago and st.
Louis, central reserve cities in the pres
emit national bank system. The location
of the Others was still regarded yester-
day as an open question. While the
committee is working out that problem
its members will consult with President
Wilson about the makeup of the Fed
eral reserve board, the organization
which is to govern the new system, 1t
is known that, President Wilson has
closely scrutinized all names suggested.
Five persons are to be chosen by the
president before the board is complete,
but it is understood that all the names
viii be sent to the Senate for coniirma-
ton at the same time.
The committee found the country
prosperous and found bankers confident
of the success OF the new system.
