HINES DISCLOSES

Washington, Feb. 6.-Director Gen
eral Hines today explained to the
senate interstate commerce commit
tee that in re-grOupfng the railroads
according to his proposed permanent
regional organization under private
management he would include one or
two big systems as the backbone for
each group. This grouping would
have to be determined by some gov
ernmental tribunal, not by congress,
and in general he regarded it as I'M
wise to divide big existing systems.
Mr.. Hines suggested that one re-
gional corporation be formed with the
New York Central and New England
systems, and smaller lines naturally
grouping with them, and another O.
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio with smaller roads now ply
sically associated with them. In this
way, he said, six or more regional
corporations would be created
throughout the country with more

BIG REALTY DEAL
Much Discussed Sale of Keeney's
Theatcr Said to be About to be
Completed-Figures High.

Rumors heard around the city would
seem to confirm the report that there
will soon be contaminated one of the
largest real estate deals in the city
when the property known as Keeney's
theater will change hands. Attorney
Greenstein, one of the men interested
in the deal was out of town today as
was Irving RachIin Who at present is
at Fort SlOcum. Neither of these men
could therefore be reached to con-
firm the rum ors heard. In the rumor
was also the report that the principal
men involved had a meeting at one
of the hotels in the city last night
and virtually concluded the deal. The
amount of the purchase price as
named in the rumor varies between
$125,000 and $135,O00. When the
deal was first heard Of the price was
stated as 100000 but with the pre-
rect. p. s. McMahon, the owner of
the theater could not be reached by a
rpOrter this afternoon. 1t is under
stood that there are three men in
tercsted in the deal and if it goes
through they will run the theater IN
partnership. There will be, it is eX-
pected, many changes in the present
tinouS vaudeville will be the program
of interest. For some time there has
been q report that there would soon
be q theater in this city which would
run burlcsque.
