SAYS LEASED LINES SHOULD
 CONTROL B. & M. SYSTEM
Statement by Trustees of the John H.
 Pearson Estate.

Concord, N. H., Jan. 2S.-Control of the Boston and Maine system should be given to it's leased lines as a con- dition to any reorganization, Clarence E. Carr and James W. Remick, trus- tees of the John H. Pearson estate announced tonight. This estate con- trols a considerable interest in the Concord and Montreal Railroad, one of the leased lines which has actively opposed plans for reorganization of the system which is now in the hands of a receiver.
 The statement issued by the trus- tees is based on a report made to them by Earle H. Fftzhugh, former vice president of the Grand Trunk Railway system who was retained to report upon the proposed reorganiza- ton of the Boston and Maine.
 Elimination of the majority inter- est in the Boston and Maine. which is owned by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, but admins tered by board of trustees under or ders from the federal court, was rec commended. By paying for the stock owned by the New Haven with an is- sue of bonds of the new Boston and Maine corporation, the leased lines would own the mapority of the stock of the new corporation, it was stated
 The trustees further stipulate that no capital stock should be issued to pay the present floating debt of the Boston and Maine.

5000 MEDICAL STUDENTS
 READY FOR ARMY SERVICE.
Are Hearing a Series Of Lectures on Sanitation and Treatment of the Sick.

Chicago, Jan. 2s.-Ninety medical schools in the United States. with a total enrollment in graduating classes of more than 5000 young men available for army and navy service, will insti- tute on Feb. a series of lectures on naval and military sanitation and treatment of the sick in both branches of the service.
 These lectures will constitute a reg ular course in nearly all the medical schools of the country and will be un- der supervision of Surgeon General William C.. Gorgas, U. s. A, and Sur geon General William C. Braisted, U. s. N The new curriculum, prepared by the army and navy medical school, is the result of a movement started by Dr. Franklin H. Martin of Chicago, a member of the commission of national defense. It is predicted that the army and navy, now 500 short in medical officers, will be able not only to fill vacancies, but to have large reserve.
 Army and navy officials have devel- oped a number of motion pictures showing every phase of hospital con- struction and administration of mili- tary hospital, their idea being that if a regular army medical officer lectured to students and had screen illustrations to clarify his assertions, the ocular demonstration would carry as much weight as the vocal.
