ASKS TO RESTORE STATUS.
OF N. Y, N. H. & HI. ROAD
Counsels Fears Absorption h,
some Trunk Line.

E. ]. Buckland. Vice President and
counsel for the N. Y, N. H. & H. r. r.,
began an argument to-day before Fed
eral Judge Mayer on the petition to
annul the dissolution decree handed
down Oct. II, 1914. Attorney General
Daugherty was in court.
Mr.. Buckland dwelt on the necessity
for the community OF interest between
the Boston & Maine and the New York
& New Haven. He said he had been
informed that the New York Central
was TO take over the Boston & Maine
and he had laid the matter before the
Attorney General with whom he had
had two conferences In Boston. He did
not say what the Attorney General said
but stated 1t was subsequent to these
conferences he hda made his applica-
tion for the annulment Of the decree.
He said the community of interest in
New England demanded the protection
Of It's principal railroads as the absor-
bition of either by a trunk line would
seriously affect New England interests
and initiate against trade by New
England through the Panama Canal.
The necessity Of the two lines being in
accord on through business was em-
phasized.

GOOD ADVERTISING
NECESSARY TO GET
LOANS, SAYS BANKER
Greatest st. Louis Bank
Built Up by Use of News
papers, He Tells Ad. Men.

The New York Council of the Am
erican Association of Advertising
Agencies held largely attended
luncheon at noon to-day in the Penn
sylvania Hotel. The speakers were
John G. Lonsdale, President OF the
National Bank of Commerce of st.
Louis and John T. Pratt, attorney
and director of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad.
Mr.. Lonsdale traced the progress
OF banking advertis ng from the days
when banks published only their
periodical statements in the newspa-
pers, to the present time, when the
most successful banks are among the
largest users of newspaper space.
II believe in advertising with my
whole heart and SOUL" he said. "In
St. Louis 1 have built UP one Of the
nations largest banks, and advertis-
ing, backed by the goods, as 1t al
ways must be, has been an important
factor"
The modern banker, the speaker
said, bears a much closer relation to
the commercial life Of his community
than the banker Of recent years. In
every case where business is In need
of funds the modern banker investi-
gates not only the assets and diabil-
tiles, but the firms advertising
methods and plans. because the bank
er knows that even the best goods
and management cannot attract Gus
toners without intelligent adver-
tising.
