ON
 MARINE BILL

Washington, May D. House and Senate conferees today began work on the merchan mt marine bill hoping to smooth out differences between the two measures before Congress re- cesses next month. Passage of the bill yesterday by the Senate ended months of hearings and discussions.
 Under the bill ships acquired during and since the war would be sold as soon as advisable to American citi- zens or corporations and pending their sale, would be operated either by the government or under lease. A board of seven members would be appoint ed by the president to supervise govern ment operations.
 No direct ship subsidies are provid- ed but the bill would exempt from war profits and excise taxes the net earn ings of American ships engaged in foreign commerce. Coastwise ships would be required to be 100 per cent American, while 75 per cent. of the stock in those engaged in foreign trade must be held by Americans.

 HIGHWAY DEPT,

Hartford, May 22.---'fNot even dur ing the war was the state highway de- partment so badly handicapped by reason of it's inability to procure ma teriaIs for the maintenance of the highways of the state as it is at pres ent.' is the opinion of Highway Com missioner Charles J. Bennett
 Commissioner Bennett said it was impossible to keep improved roads in repair and they wo-,-- soon be unfit for travel unless relief in railroad transportation came soon. The result will be seen in the hindrance to mo- tor truck traffic if not it's entire dis continuance, as it will be impossible to operate trucks over roads out of re- pair. Operating of pleasure cars w1ia also be seriously interfered with.
 Cutie recently Commissioner Ben- nett tried to get supply of road making material by barge from New York, the barge docking at New 1ia- ven That was an expensive method of transportati ton, he said, but the 1n- crease in the expense was small mat

 power followed swiftly the heavy de.
 feats of Villa by General Alvaro Ob-

 Torreon and concentrate his dwind-
 ling forces in northern Chihuahua and
 eastern Sonora, making occasional
 forays and raids which cu1msated in
 the attack on Co1ubm-s, N. M, that
 resulted in the invasion of Mexican territory by General Pershins
 In the diplomatic exchanges that ensued between President Wilson and l Carranza, who lad been officially re- | eognized as the head of the q. fat-to government by the United States in October, 1915, he insisted on the re- spect by the United States of A!esiees g l sovereignty and the concession to his | government of reciprocal rights of in- vasion. He maintained his position despite the crisis caused by the clash | es between Mexican and American 1 soldiers at Parral and Carrizal but when war seemed unavoidaEe~ Car ! ranza succeeded in stempaing the tide by his proposal for the appoiel11ent of a joint commission to settle .he

 was accepted by President Wilson and | the deliberations of the con1,s>j,Ssion l resulted in the withdrawal of the American army and the restoration of 1 friendly relations between the two ] countries.
 In the meantime Carranza had ] called Constitutional Congress- which accepted most of the reforms
 he outlined. On March Il, 1917, he
 was elected President. More than l. sOO,OOO votes were cast for him. He took the oath of ctfice Ray 1. 1917. In a message to the Mexican Con gress following his Inauguration as ; president, Carranza declared Mexico's

 Department of Justice agents here are investig igating certain aspects of the case which they say point strongly to collusion. While they would not say upon whom their suspicion rested, they declared they were convinced that Bergdoll was aided in his escape.

 Shortly after BergdolI got away the police covered all avenues of escape around the city and every place it was thought he would be likely to go was closely watched throughout the night. Descriptions of the fugitive and the car in which he made his es- cape were sent to all sections of the country and it was announced that a systematic search would be made for him.

MANUFACTURERS STRONGLY OBJECT
 TO R. R. ORDER

The railroads of the United States
 have requested the Interstate Com
 merce Commission to exercise it's
 emergency powers Gnder the law by
 issuing an order restricting move
 ments of freight to prime necessities.
 such as food fuel, etc. The Inter-
 state Commerce Commission has call
 ed upon the various state railroad
 commissions to advise whether or not
 they favor such action by the national
 body.
 Before replying to this inquiry re-
 ceived from Washington, the Public
 Utilities Commission of Connecticut
 very courteously afforded this asso-
 citation an opportunity to present it's
 views in the matter. Accordingly
 your president after consultation with
 members of the Traffic Committee and
 others, appeared before the commits
 sion and stated substantially as fol- lows:
 ''The issuance of the proposed or der would operate decidedly against the interests of Connecticut industries and I strongly urge against such ac- tion. The following are some of the reasons on which this view is based ."The proposed order would inevit- ably close down quickly a large num- Der of our industries. The process of resuming production would neceS- sarily be slow.
 'This would mean stoppage o1 earnings of thousands of workers. "There is now in Connecticut nc serious shortage of any necessity o1 life, nor is any such shortage imme- ] diately threatened.
 "As it is the spring season. there | is no danger to the public from the
 slow movement of coal, except as tho l industries may be forced to suspend | for lack of fuel.
 Conditions at the New Haven gate | ways are improving, as shown by th' l record of cars exchanged and car 1 handled, the. percentages of norma | being about 75 per cent. and S5 pel 1 cent. respectively.
 1 Now that the roads have been re l turned to private ownership. it i | better that the interference of tht 1 government be not invoked until ab I solutely necessary for public safety i etc.
 1 What is needed is more transporta l ton, rather than jess; an increase O ] their efforts by. the railroads, rathe 1 than an arbitrary 1essening of th' , demands upon them at the expenS' of the public
 The moral value of keeping going l whatever the difficulties, should b. I kept in mind; this would be lost i i the railroads were to be asked . 1 move only prime necessities ! These views have also been com l municated personally to D. J. Pear l son, president, New York, New Ha
 ven & Hartford R. R. It is earnest l 1y hoped that the proposed orde | will not be issued, at least, so far a i this area is concerned.
