Is Named to Work
 With } States

(Continued From Page One ) that he was planned to call an organ ization meeting of the joint comnnis- sions, next week. An effort will then be made to arrive at a concentrated plan of action.
 The proposal of the Connecticut commission is that the New Haven,' '' Boston & Maine, Rutland, Maine Central, Bangor & Aroostook and Grand Trunk railroad be consolidated in a general New England system, in dependent of the western roads, some of which are known to be desirous of taking over certain individual roads of those named. Such a consolidation contemplates the inclusion of the sub sidiaries of the New England rail- roads, such as the Central New Eng land road with the "New Haven" :" and the Central Vermont with the Grand Trunk Railroad.
 $S0O, ,OOO, 900 Investment.
 The joint investment of all these New England railroads is approN- mately $500, 100000, and the pooling of their resources. 1t is believed, would put them in a more advantageous po- sition to do busfn esS with the trunk lines, whose investment in the area between the Hudson and Mississippi rivers and the Potomac and Ohio riv- CTS approaches SS,0Oo, 100000.
 The transportation act recently
  solidation of strong roads with weak ones in order to supply the nation with an adequate transportation sys- tenn, and the interstate commerce commission is now holding hearings to determine the most beneficial com binations in different sections of the country. It is flor the purpose of hay ing New England united behind its plan when the time comes for con sideration of the railroad problem in this section that Governor Lake took the initiative of approaching the gov ernors of other states with a sugges- tion that they get together without delay.
 To Oppose Interference.
 Several suggestions have already been made by people believed to rep resent western trunk lines, which suggestions were to the effect that certain New England railroads be taken over separately by different trunk line com binations. One made by John E. Oldham, a Boston bank CT, that the New Haven be taken over by three large western railroads, the Pennsylvania, the Central Rail- road of New Jersey and the Lacka- wanna, met a cold reception at the hands of prominent Connecticut busi- ness men and "New Haven stock holders, when proposed early in May. They feel that the future of New England depends on the preservation western lines, as the latter are natur- ally not greatly concerned about the welfare of New England industries. The New York Centrai1 Railroad, also is said to have been trying to fl1rt with the "New Haven" road.

Bath House Opened By Salvation Army
 Is Aid To Chinese

Pekfng, June 1O-A bath house, with apparatus that provides for the cleansing and de1ousing of the cloth ing of the bathers is the latest instd- tuition set Up and opened to the pub lie by the Salvation Army here It is proving of very great value to the Chinese. There are a great number of public baths in the city, but none that provides for ths more intimate processes of rem owing the small friend that sticketh closer than a broth er."
 For the small sum of three cop pers, the value of about three cents in America, a man may have a hot bath, during which, if there Is any need, his clothes are put into a de- louser and the vermin removed. Books of the tickets have been put on sale and those who can afford to give a little to charity are being urged to buy these books so that the very poor, the rickshaw coolies and others who have not the money but only a very great need of the bath and the delousing process. shall be able to re- ceive the attention that is necessary for the general health Of the com munity.
 The system of public baths in the cities of China away from the water ways is universal one. Owing to the lack of water which has to be hand and delivered on the wheelbar- rows of the water carriers. and owing to the non existence of plumbing bathing in the privacy of the Chinese house is nearly impossible. Chinese of all classes go to the public bath house. as was done in Roman days But the expense of having to use 8 public bath house and the expense oi water so laboriously drawn. make. bathing a luxury difficult for the very poor to enjoy Thus the institution of the Salvation Army, which adds the opportunity of getting rid of the in- fetsing vermin, comes as a great boon to the community
