liar hearings at the Hotel Touraine
in Boston, Tuesday. and probably
would confer in New York Wednes-
day with the Federal judge before
whom the decree was entered.
The attorney general said that
while he was. at present of an open
mind on the subject of the New Ia
.ven's New England properties which
have long been in litigation, he would
be- able as a result of his investiga-
tion to decide by Jan. l upon the
proper course for the government to
pursue. He also would be able, he
declared, either to order the sale OF
the New Ravens subsidiary holdings
which have not yet been disposed OF
as soon as market conditions would
justify the step or to recommend a
supplemental decree in the New York
court modifying the original decree
to permit the return of the holdings
now in the hands of the trustees to
their original owners.
The question to be settled by In
vestigation, Mr.. Daugherty said, was
whether the trolley lines. steamship
lines and steam railroad lines in New
England owned by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad,
were operating in competition With
the New Haven railroad
The questions involved in the mat
ter, Mr.. Daugherty said, invol1 ed
many millions of dollors Of property
interests in New England. practically
all the transportation facilities of
New England and stock and bond
holders in all of those states and he
believed could best be determined by
personal observation and interview
with interested persons and the pub
lie onsthe ground.
Mr.. Daugherty said that he would
be accompanied on his trip to New
England next week by Abram r.
Myers, special assistant to the attor-
ney general in charge of transporta-
ton matters. who has rradn n prelim-
mary survey of the transportation
situation in New England; w. F.
Martin, private secretary to the at
torney general, and r. E. Mccarthy
of Pittsburgh. Mr.. Mccarthy, Mr..
Daugherty said, would go along as
a practical railroad man to give him
the benefit of such observations and
suggestions covering physical cues
tions affecting the railroads and the
possible competition between these
properties.

clared. "It is ridiculous to think of
such an action regarding the Gar

Tor China and the heads Of virtually
all the other delegates participated
IN the discussion which developed
considerable objection to accepting
the Chinese proposal that China be-
consulted and allowed to participate
in future treaties affecting her.
Without direct, reference to the four
power treaty regarding the Pacific
now under consideration, DR.. Koo in
presenting his case, said that the
Chinese government has an equitable
right to be consulted In .-all agree
ments which deal with, or pretend to
deal with the general situation in the
Far East. including China
Even If such treaties should be
animated by an entirely friendly spir-
1t towards China" he added, "yet
their bearing is such that they may
involve consequences which would
impose limitations on Chinese free
dom Of action; and even they should
therefore not be made without con-
sultation with China
It might, of course. be said, he con-
tinued, that China mot being a party
to such treaties need in no way rec
ognize them nor consider herself
bound by any of their provisions"
Mr.. Balfour informally said he was
not altogether sure the method of
dealing with the questions outlined by
DR.. Koo would be the best, means
of achieving the broad aspirations
the latter expressed, concerning
which all must be in sympathy.
The British statesman asked if it
had occurred to DR.. Koo that the
principle contained in point three, in

hardly be accepted.

and an expression of intention to do
nothing in derogation of the Root res
