give it the needed low grades, heavy
rails, adequate equipment and power,
and use it to the fullest capacity to
relieve freight and fuel congestion
The roads passenger service is light
and of the local variety, and because
the freight and fuel needs of the De-
troit district are so great and con-
slant, the Fords have no intention of
competing for passenger business. But
such passenger service as is now given
will be modernized. 1t is probable
that the new gas car, of the interur-
ban type, on which the Ford engineers
have been working for months, will
be used for this service.
complete and Comprehensive. His first
wish is that it be put into order to
assure Detroit of coal supply all the
year round. In order to complete his
plans by which solid coal trains may be
run continuously, MI. Ford made per-
sonal inspection of all the grades and
bridges over the A54 miles of main
track. In his automobile he traversed
the length of the line twice, crossing
it hundreds of times. walking many
miles of its roadbed and visiting the
towns along its route. He made spe-
cial point of visiting the roundhouse
and shops ana conversing with the
mechanics. He went out with the re-
pair gangs and examined every unit
OF the roads motive power.
Employees of the D. T. & /. are to be
brought under the Ford plan in the
matter of wages and hours. This will
include the Ford bonus and investment
certificate privileges.
The inventory Of the D. T. & I. shows
45A miles of main track on the right Of
way, with 165 miles of sidetrack; IS
locomotives, 5000 freight cars, of all
types, and n passenger cars. There
are four roundhousos in Ohio. The
number Of employees varies between

Ford Buys 454-Mile Railroad

speotos Dispatch to Tho Tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
DETROIT, July 1o.-Henry Ford and
Edsel B. Ford have purchased the De.
troit, Toledo & rronton Railroad
The D., T. & /. is a coal carrier from
the mines Of Southern Ohio, West vir-
ginia and Kentucky, and is capable Of
supplying Michigan with all Industrial
and domestic fuel. -
The deal by which the Fords ente,
the railroad. field originated in Mr.
gord's plans for development of the
River Rouge, under which the govern
ment had ordered the railroad to re-
place an old bridge with new one, for
which the railroad did not have the
ready money. The Fords offered To
advance the railroad company the
needed sum, and it was this generous
attitude which led the officials to bring
the whole D., T. & /. situation to the
attention Of Henry Ford and Edsel
Ford, both of whom soon became con-
vinced Of the advantages that would
accrue from proper DEVELOPMENT Of this
railroads possibilities.
The amount of money involved in the
change Of ownership has not been made
public. but it is known that the .pay.
ment was several hundred thousand
dollars IN excess OF the amount origi-
nally asked by the officials, because Mr..
Ford desired that every stockholder
should receive something for his stock,
although the stock was valueless on
ths market and no dividends ever had
be~n paid on 1t.
The railroad has been sinkhole for

From, The T,ibumes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The early
capture of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
the millionaire draft dodger, who es-
capped from an army guard at his home
in Philadelphia, may result soon from
a strong clew just received by the War
