 For It.

Washington, Sept. 4 LP, - Clear road in the house for the tax re- duction bill was promised President Coolidge today by Chairman Mad den of the appropriations commit tee, who volunteered to sidctrack supply bills.

New York, Sept. 24 P>-Wall street heard today that directors of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford had recently rejected cash offer of $40 share for It's holdings of 2l9,1S9 shares of common stock of the Boston & Maine. Official con- f1rmation of the report, however, was lacking.
 The decision of the New Haven directors not 10 accept the offer Is said to have been on the ground that the Boston &s Maine reorganization might afford the New Haven a chance to emerge eventually from its investment of almost s29,o00,o0O in this road without a loss.
 The identity of the proposed pur- chaser was not revealed but the New York Central and the Delaware and Hudson railroads have been mention ed most frequently in connection with consolidation plans affecting the Boston &; Maine.

He also alleges that Malnausky has in his possession property of the stock holders to the value of s6,000, all of which was obtained fraudulently by mismanagement.
 szczepansk pleads for the appoint ment Of 8 receiver, dissolution of the corporation, and such further relief as is deemed equitable and proper. Joseph G.

RAILROADS LOSING
 PASSENGER TRADE
General Supt. Sees Business Going to Highway Service

That passenger trade has almost entirely disappeared from the rail- roads in many suburban districts, as well as some other points, was the statement made today by Edward F, Regan, president of the New London Rotary club and general superin- tendent of the New York, New Ha- ven & Hartford railroad lines west ot Providence and Willimantic and of the Central New England rail- ways, Mir. Began spoke today to the New Britain Rotary club.
 Mir, Began quoted statistics 10 show that New England railroads are carrying freight shipments equal to southern and western railroads of many times the mileage In the same portion of time. He told of the Cedar Hill transfer yards at New Haven, which, he said, were the largest in America. and stated that approximately 5000 tons of freight are handled there each day.
 Blamcs Motor Buses
 Referring to the passenger scrv- ice, he said, 1t Is changing overnight. The motor busses, he said, have al- lsost completely eliminated passen- ger travel from branch and subur- ban railway lines. He mentioned among others the lines from New Haven to Northampton, the Holyoke branch, Turner's Falls branch and others which he said have mo pas senger service to speak of"
 The Hartford to saybrook line and the, Berkshire line from New York to Pittsfeld, he said. passenger travel has been practically elimi- mated"
 Tn order to save the situation, he explained that the railroad, through the New England Transportation Co, in New York sn1 Connecticut has applied in many places for permits 10 operate on the highways. Places where other trsnsportations com panies have obtained permits first, he said, the authorities feel reluctant to permit the railroads 10 operate on the same territory.
 Roads Losing Large Sums
 He said the New Haven and Cen tral New England lines as whole are losing from half to three quar- ter of million passengers every month, although the receipts have not gone down in proportion. This decrease is mostly noticeable on lines out of Providence and Boston and in suburban territory, he ex- plained. Despite this fact he said the New Haven road is one of the five railroads which is operating to- day upon 75 per cent of its income.
 Next Thursday Rev. John Allisan' of H6lyoke, district governor will be the speaker.
