ROAD OPPOSES BILLS.
No One Appears for Two Gents q Mile
 Measure,

Benjamin Campbell, vice president and head of the traffic department and A. B. Smith. general passenger agent, of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad. appeared Friday after noon at Hartford before the legislative committee on railroads to oppose bills which would fix the limit of passen- ger fares at two cents a mile and would provide that the fare for a per son without baggage should be one half that of a. passenger with baggage
 The bills were taken as absurdities which had been introduced by legisla- tors by request Representative Ed mund S. Backus of Thompson, who in- troduced the two-cent-a-nile bill said
 that he had done so by request and personally was opposed to it. No one appeared in favor of either bill.
 Just to make it a matter of record
 Mr. Campbell at the request of Luciue F. Robinson, of the roads counsel 1 made a brief statement of the road's position He showed that either bill would seriously decrease the roads in- come and said that if they were enact I ed he believed they would mean a re- ceivership for the company.

No political opinion was expressed

while If Rumania entered the war it
would probably be on the side of the

courage of the Italian soldiers. He
added that America would continue
to work for the cause of humanity. civ

He ended by trusting with Lincoln

that the peoples of the world would
