Counsel for Minority Stock
Holders Makes Statement
to Legislators
TWO NEW MEASURES
AFFECTING COMPANY
One Makes Provision for State Aid :
Company Cncials Too Pessirnistic a
Year Ago-Now There Is Promise for
Better Conditions.

BOSTON, Feb. S.-A threatened crisis
in the financial affairs of the Boston x
Maine railroad has passed, Conrad w.
Croker, counsel for the minority stock
holders association declared today at a
legislative hearing on bills affecting the
road.
One of the bills provides for repeal of
the act passed last year recognizing the
Boston & Maine, but which became mop
erative through the failure of the New
Hampshire legislature to pass a similar
measure.
The second bill provides for state aid to
the company.
In supporting the two measures Mr..
Crooker told the committee it was the
general opinion last year that the Boston
4 Maine was bankrupt.
1t is admitted now, he said, that officials
of the company were too pessimistic q
year ago and that there is at the present
time a promise of better conditions.
Both bills were opposed by attorneys tol
the company.

HOUSE PASSES TWO
DEFENCE BILLS
To Equip Two Navy Yards and In
crease Naval Academy Corps-Pa-
cifsts Remain Silent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Two national
defence bills-the first Of the session-were
passed in the house yesterday without the
folmality of a roll call
For some unexplained reason pacifist
members took to their heels when the
question of preparedness came up in con
crete form and interposed no opposition to
the two measures designed to pave the way
for the big building program of the naval
appropriation bill.
One of the bills passed carried appropria-
tions to equip the New York and Mare Is
land navy yards to build superdread-
noughts The other provided for an addi-
ton to the corps of midshipmen at the
Annapolis naval academy.
The navy yard bill, which is regarded
as very important by the administration,
was passed by viva voce vote. The other
was put through by a vote of 1913 to @.
All the big guns in the house with the
execution of the Democratic leader, Mr.
Kitchin. took part in the debate, and all
declared themselves in favor of adequate
national defence. Speaker Clark, Uncle
Joe Cannon, Republican Leader Mann
Chairman Padgett and many others who
are advocating preparedness made ad
dresses, while the pacihsts held their peace

CRUISERS OFF VIRGINIA.

British shipmasters arriving here yes

are patroliug the coast off the Vir-
ginia capes. Since there is no probab l.
ity that the German prize Appam will
put to sea in the near future, marine
men take the presence of the war
ships to mean that the allied govern
meuts expect other prizes captured by
the mysterious German raider to be
brought to Hampton Roads.

the Appam or of the 13 Germans, for

TODAY'S WAR SUMMARY

Except for the continuation Of the
intensive bombardment along the
Franco Belgian front there are few re-
ports of activity from the major fields
of military operations.
Whether the notable play of the Ger
man, French and British guns on the
hostile positions is preparatory to i'm
portant infantry operations or is foi
minor purposes is not apparent.
The current official statement as well
as independent reports indicate the con
tinuation of state of quietude along
the broad front, where Russians and
Teutons have been facing each other
for months past with few changes of
territory.
Only in the Caucasus, apparently, are
the Russian armies active. The Petro-
grad war Office reports continued ad-
vances there against the Turks, both
north and south of Erzerum, the Rus
sian forces having pressed further
eastward along the Black Sea coast anc
along the northern coast of Lake Van
Gen. Pohvanoff, Russian minister OF
war, is quoted today as declaring tha
the Russian munitions crisis is now
thing of the past and that the system
of handling recruits is such that tn,
unit of the Russian army can now b.
kept lp to full strength with full,
| trained men.
