First Efforts Will Be to EncOur-
courage Voluntary Grouping
of CarrierS-President Be-
lieves Consultations Neces-
sary in Readjustment of Ma
tons Freight Rates

Swampscott, Mass, Sept. 4-(AP)
all it can during the next few years
to encourage voluntary railroad con-
solidation in the hope that it will not
be necessary to force grouping of
carriers.
This program of President Coolidge
was outlined today at White Court
with the added statement that in his
opinion consultations are neceS
sary forerunner of a REIMBURSEMENT of
the nations freight rate structure.
The president, who on Wednesday
discussed the transportation problem
here with Chairman Watson of the
Senate interstate commerce commit
tee, was reported today as believing
that the immediate concern of con-
gress should be to pass whatever leg
islation is needed to help bring about
voluntary mergers. In the event re-
suits contemplated are not obtained 1t
was indicated that the president
would favor legislation designed to
force consolidation. After the presi-
dents talk with Senator Watson. it
was stated that they thought the car
riers should have five or six years to
work out their own consolidation
plans.
Mr.. Coolidge realizes that it would
be impossible to pass a law forcing
one railroad to take over another but
he believes legislation should be en-
acted making it to the advantage of
one system to absorb additional lines.
The views of President Coolidge
also showed that while he has not
been advised of the navy department
plans, he expects that it will favor
replacement of the Shenandoah with
another dirigible.
Mr.. Coolidge. it was stated, believes
that the new tax law should make
reductions applicable on this years
! income and is definitely committed
to the creation of a department of
education and relief, although some
educators are advising against in
Guiding in it the relief activities of
the government.
1t was also announced that while
Mr. Coolidge expects to return to
Washington next week he has not
fixed a day for his departure and may
decide to prolong his stay here until
the middle of the month.

Belgrade Youth
Badly Hurt on
Way to Fight Fire
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Belgrade Lakes, Sept. 4.-Leighton
town, is in serious condition as the
result of an automobile upset as he
was hurrying early this morning to
the home of his parents to assist in
fighting a fire which damaged the
house to a considerable extent. The
Ford touring car which young Castle
was driving struck some sand or loose
dirt and overturned, throwing the
young man into some woods beside the
road. He was taken to his home and
is in critical condition. There is ap-
parently some injury to his heart as
Il result of the accident and it is not
considered wise 10 move him to a hos
pital as it is feared thu strain of mov-
ing would be too much for him in his
weakened condition.
The fire was discovered about $50
this morning by Mrs. Castle as she
came downstairs to begin her days
work Mr.. Castle had arisen shortly
before, and after starting the fire in
the stove had gone out of doors. When
Mrs. Castle entered the kitchen the
flames had attained such a start that
she was only able to rush to the front
part of the house and gather up a few
more valuable possessions before she
was forced to leave the blazing struc-
ture.
Promptness on the part of the Bel
grade Lakes fire department resulted
in saving the building although the in
terror was badly damaged and much of
the furniture was destroyed. The loss
is estimated at between $500 and
$1,000.

Navy Dept. in Doubt

navy department was advised to-
night by Arthur Altman, amateur RAJ
dia operator at st. Augustine, Fla,
that he had learned from the wire
less operator of the u. S. S. Itch
field that the missing seaplane PN-9
number one had been found but Of
ficials on duty placed little credence
in the account.
They were mystified by Almans
report of his conversat ton with the
Litchfield which the operator said
gave her position as 400 miles south
of Samoa, and expressed doubt that
the ship could have sighted the sea-
plane.
The destroyer I.itchfield is with
the Pacific fleet steaming from Sa-
moa to Hawaii, and now Is about 500
miles north of Samoa. Navy officials
said they were unable at present on
account of the heat and resulting
static, to reach distant points by RAJ

how Altman could have talked with

America.

! from the Vanderbilt fortune Reggie
was born to life of ease The lux

! occasioned widespread comment.
The older folk of New Haven, Conn,
| still recall the roar of his racing
/ roadster over the night street when
! the young multimillionaire returned

for their somber decorum.
Within year of his graduation

on his social career which gained
him international repute. During
the following year he gained notori-

was reported that young Vanderbilt
\ had lost between S71 900 and S125,-
( 600 there in single session. and
! that within the space of few
months he had dropped more than
$4,000.

C. M. P. co. WOULD
REPLACE ELECTRIC
Ry. BY BUS ROUTE

Substitution of motor bus service
for the electric railway service be-
tween Thomaston and Warren is
proposed by the Northeastern Trans
portation Company in the petition
heard by the Public Utilities Com
mission at it's office at the State
House, Friday morning.
The Northeastern Transportation
Company, which Is a subsidiary of
the Central Maine Power Company,
is seeking a certificate to operate a
motor bus between the two towns,
carrying passengers for hire from
Thomaston to Warren via Oyster
River pond, and return to Thomas
be alternated every other trip.
There was no opposition to the
proposed bus route when the case
was heard by the commission yester-
day morning.
Attorney Everett H. MaXcy APP
peared as counsel for the Northeast
ern Transportation Company and the
parent company, the Central Maine
Power Company. He called as the
first witness George S. Williams of
Augusta, vice president of the Cen
trail Maine Power Company.
Mr.. Williams stated that the Cen
trail Maine Power Company owns
the electric railway operating be-
tween Thomaston and Warren as
part of the Rockland, Thomaston &
Camden electric railroad. He said
that the company proposes to dis
continue service on that part of the
railway between Thomaston and
Warren, substituting motor bus serv-
ice with a White bus capable of car
rying % passengers.
The fact that the Northeastern
Transportation Company is controll-
ed by the Central Maine Power Com
pany and that the latte- company
will stand behind the Northeastern
Company. in maintaining the opera
tions, was pointed out by Mr. Will
liams. The company will do all that
1t can to keep the highways open
between the two towns in winter so
that there will be little if any sus-
pension of service.
Harold p. Blodgett, superintend-
ent of the Rockland division of the
Central Maine Power Company, as
serted that the proposed bus line
would serve the same people who
are now served by the electric road.
The first bus will start from Thorn
aston at 6.1o in the morning and
service will be continued until 1918
in the evening, The running time
between the two towns will be one
half hour and the fare will be the
same as now charged by the electric
road-20 cents.
1t is estimated that II would re-
duire an outlay of S11 900 to re-tie
the electric roadhed between the
two towns. Mr.. Blodgett said. In
addition, for repairing the railway
BRIDGES there would be an outlav Of
$4,000 for temporary job, or $4,000
for a permanent job.
At the close of the hearing, the
commission took the matter under
advisement.

Another Dirigible
Question of Budget
Word eff Sec. Wilbur

Washington. Sept. 5-(AP)-Whe-
ther another dirigible will be built to
replace the Shenandoah was declared
BY Secretary Wilbur today to be
purely a budget question.
While he declined to comment upon
the assumption of President Coolidge
at Swampscott, that the navy would
want to replace the lost air cruiser,
Mr. Wilbur let it be known that the
department would not be deferred by
tie loss Of the Shenandoah in pursu-
Ing its lighter than-air program.
Tbs navy department, however, is
convinced, he said, that in its program
the heavier than-air craft are entit-
led through demonstrated achieve
ment to priority in the expenditure
Of monies and that the lighter than
air craft must be content with what
Is available for them after other
needs are cared for. This decision
was reached, he asserted, before the
accident to, the Shenandoah.
Although Mr.. Wilbur refrained from
/ announcing what was in prospect for
the naval air station at Lakehurst. n.
], he Indicated that the budget bur-
Gu would determine its fate.
There have been indications that
the Los Angeles will be tied up In it's
hangar and the station closed or put
on skeleton basis for an indefinite
period.
Mr.. Wilbur said the navy wouh be
less disposed than ever to lease the
Los Angeles for private commercial
operation with the Shenandoah gone.
The Los Angeles. under the terms of
Us construction in Germany, cannot
be used for military purposes. but it
assumed 1t can be used in a limit
90 way In observation problems so as
% develop Its capacity and provide
raining for crews.
while eager to continue its work
with lighter than-air craft, the sec
ietary said no definite decision had
peen reached by the navy as to their
military value and they still were re-
sarded as merely experimental.
Their promise in the field Of
scouting was so bright, however" he
ADDED, that we wanted to continue
