lature
NEARLY LIKE BILL
VETOED LAST YEAR
Would Let Southern N. E.
Property to the Central
Vermont Ry. Co.

Providence, r. L., April "a bill to
allow the Southern New England Rail
way company to lease its property to
the Central Vermont Railway company
was introduced in tire House yesterday
bv Representative I.angworthy OF West
crly and referred to the committee on
corporations.
The bill is similar to one introduced
last year, except that clause is added
which would prevent the lease being
made until the terms had been approved
by the public utilities commission. This
was the point which brought out much
discussion last night, because it had not
been included in the measure. The bill
last year was passed by the assembly,
but was vetoed by Governor Pothier.
Vice President John S. Murdoch Of
the Southern New England said that the
lease, if authorized, might run for a
period Of 90 years under the act. He
said that the plan is to lease the South
ern New England for a rental sufficient
60 meet the interest on the bonds to be
issued by the latter road
William G. Bliss, chairman OF the pub
lie utilities commission, stated after
conference with Governor Pothier and
Vice President Murdoch that in his opin-
ion the measure was proper one and
that the interests of the state were
properly safeguarded.

An Attack Made on Root by

Advocates

Poindexter Reads a Letter
in the Senator's
Absence

Washington, April 25.-W. H. Randall
of Boston, of the Emory Steamship com
pany and Sbawmut Steamship company,
told the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals, this morning, that the
passage of the tolls repeal bill would
tend to destroy his profits. If the bill
is passed, said Mr.. Randall, it would
cost about $4,000 to $4,000 more per
ship per year. Lumber brought from
Oregon and Washington state to Bos-
ton would pay by rail S24 thousand
feet, whereas by ship without tolls it
would cost IS thousand feet. With
tolls, Mr.. Randall said the charge would
be between 81 and Sl3. British ships
from Vancouver, carrying lumber to
Boston, could carry lumber through the
canal and pay tolls OF $3.50 to $3.50
per thousand feet. British competition,
Mr. Randall put forth as an argument
against repeal.
Henry J. Allen, editor Of the Wichita
(kansl Beacon, said Western men who
had seen commerce driven off the Missis-
sippi by unfair railroad competition
wanted American ships exempted from
tolls.

Most of the damage, however, was done
by water.
Mrs. Goldberg, with a young daugh-

story is that the fire started by her
dropping lamp, which exploded, the
fire instantly spreading over the whole
room. She rushed into the bedroom,
grabbed her baby and ran down stairs

out like little red pimple and spread and

S150,0O0,000 LOSS
CAUSED in MEAT
Disease and Exposure Killed Enough
Animals in 1918 to Supply
Whole Country.

Washington, April 25.-The enormous
sum of $l50,000,000 was the aggregate
loss sustained by the United States in
meat animals as the result of distase
and exposure in 1918, according to es-
Inmates announced by the department of
agriculture Yesterday.
Losses from disease of cattle, hogs,
and sheep was about Sl22,000,000, and
losses from exposure of cattle and sheep
about S2S,00000Q The loss in meat, it
is declared would have been more than
sufficient to furnish normal years
supply of meat to the entire population
of the New England states.
The figures indicate a total loss of
7005,000 hogs, valued at S73,000,000.
This represents more than one billion
pounds of meat destroyed, mostly by
cholera. This loss would have produced
nearly S00,000.000 pounds OF dressed
meat and lard, which, officials say,
would have been sufficient to furnish
every family in the United States with
an average of four and one half persons,
about forty pounds.
IF there had been no such loss, it is
stated, probably increasing scarcity of
meat would have been largely pre-
vented"
