III. w. Anderson, counsel for the
Chesapeake and Ohio minority stock
holders who oppose it's consolidation
with the Nickel Plate, Pere Mar

tenn.
Late in the session the eXamina-
ton, which had been involved in a
financial maze as TO the realty and
railroad opera tions of the Van Swer-
lngen interests in and around Cleve-
land, got down to the actual railroad
merger proposal. Mr.. Van Sweringen
told the lawyer that he did not know
how many miles of rock ballast there
were on his own railroad, the Nickel
Plate, did not know how much freight
or how many passengers it carried,
and wasn't sure as to the double and
single track mileage.

Strong roads and weak roads, in

Mr.. Anderson demanded.
That distinction has generally
been interpreted to mean the COM

Sweringen responded. 1 regard the
Nickel Plate as strong in earnings;
the Erie as weak in earnings, but
strong as to traffic prospects"

While here the president planned to
continue in close touch with govern
ment affairs. Cabinet officers have a
general invitation to come to White
Court whenever business demands or
when they desire relief from Washing

BELIEVE F0RD'S
OFFER FOR 200 SHIPS
WILL Be ACCEPTED

Washington, July 21.-(AP)-Al-
though action was deferred by the

that with little delay it would approve
the recommendation of President Pal
mer of the Fleet Corporation for ac-
ceptan'> of Henry Ford's bid of ST.
7o6, 600 for the 200 vessels offered for
serapping.
With four members present, the
board discussed the recommendation
at considerable length but decided to
resume consideration of the question
Thursday, when additional commits
sloners are expected to be in the city.
Counsel for the board attended to-
days meeting and gave their opinions
as TO the legality of the Ford offer in
relation to the advertisement of sale.
This was found satisfactory.
Although Mr.. Ford is his offer ex-
pressed hope that, if the ships were
awarded to him. some now on the At
lantic coast might be substituted for
several in the list of 200 offered, no
change in the list was recommended
byt MIR. Palmer, and the board is eX-
pected to make no such change on the
ground that award to do so would al

Chairman OConnor intimated, how
ever, that some of the ships desired by
the manufacturer might later be Oh

for use as blind" in the rum run
ming business was told today by
Harry C. Fairbanks, under indict-
ment for the abduction. who was
returned here last night from Fall
River, Mass, where he was arrested
Sunday.
Fairbanks gave the story of his
experience since the boy was stolen
in April, 1923, during four hours of
police questioning early today. After
ward he was taken to the county
jail, to await the full term of coun-
ty court. His accomplice, Stanley
G.. Crandall, has been traced to
South America, where his arrest is
expected soon.
Crandall and Fairbanks met here
prior to the kidnapping to plan a
rum running scheme. Fairbanks
had gone in on small scale and
bought a second hand car. 1t had
broken down and the pair were
riding around the city in a borrowed
car when they saw the Alexander
son boy on the sidewalk. Neither
knew who the boy was, according
to Fairbanks, who continues:
'Crandall told the boy we were
going to take him for ride and
picked him up. Then, with Gran
dali driving, we went TO Theresa.

boy. We left it there and went to

lice were hot on our trail. we jump

Oyer Bridge Across
Lake Champlain

Plattsburgh, n. y, July 21-(AP)-
The first intimation of disagreement
>etween New York and Vermont
legislative commissions in connection
with the proposed joint state bridge
across Lake Champlain was voted at
a meeting of the commission at Ho-
tel Champlain tonight.
The Vermont men advocated a
combined railroad and vehicular
bridge from Rouse's Point. y. Y, to
West Alburg, Vt, and from East Al
burg to West Swanton. Vt, at an es-
timated cost of $1,000,000 for the first
section and $500,O00 for the second.
The New York state commission fav-
ored bridge at the southern part OF
the Bake. Three sites were mention
ed. 4Chimny Point, Crown Point, and
Ticdnderoga While no figures were
me rfsioned the cost is estimated to be
ia 3ess than that of the Vermont
pi;.IE Senator Mortimer Y. Ferris
