Consolidation the Main Thing
with Supplementary Help in
Form of Legislation for Ben
eft of Roads, Shippers and
PublicvMerger Would Mean
More Stable Freight Rates

swampscott. Mass. Aug. 4.-(AP)-
Solution of the transportation problem,
President Coolidge believes, would be
greatly helped by consolidation of
railroads.
AS to the agricultural situation,
which in his mind Is linked with the
railroad rate question and is one of
the greatest domestic issues confront
ing the administration, he intends to
await further advice from the agricul-
tural committee before formulating
his recommendations to Congress.
The view of the president with re-
gard to transportation, as outlined to-
DAY at White Court, is that while he
believes legislation probably is neces-
sary for the benefit of the railroads.
shippers and the public, he is of the
OPT that the main thing desirable
is consolidation.
Although no comment was made as
to ~ Coolidges views regarding the
Van Sweringen merger now pending
mission, it was stated that he real
ICES other consultations on a compre-
hensive scale are awaiting the de-
cision as to whether the Nickel Plate
interests have the right to proceed
with a grouping of railroad lines
without regard to tentative consolida-
ton plans worked out by government
experts.
The advantage to be gained by rail-
way consolidation, as the president
views it, is that it would then be pos
sible to fix freight rates at level
which would bring fair return on
systems entire operations, and would
put an end to one roads tremendous
profit while another line. operating
under the same tariffs, suffers losses.
Recognizing the clamor on the part
of farmers for lower transportation
rates on their products. the president
also sees in voluntary railroad consol1-
dation an effective remedy for many OF
the ills facing agricultural interests.
Mr.. Coolidge's decision to seek
again the advice of the agricultural
conference which submitted report
to the last Congress means that the
committee will resume its study OF
farmers problems in the fall with
view to submitting report 70 the
president before the December session
of Congress. It's recommendation 10

marketing, a suggestion which was ig-
nored nv Congress but which has re-
ceiyed the endorsement of a NUMBER

ferred with Mr. Coolidge here.

announced today that the president Is

problem to Congress.

President Prefers
To Look Ahead Not
Behind i'm His Work

Swamjscott, Mass. Aug. 4-AP)-
President Coolidge is looking ahead,
trying to determine what should be
done during the remainder of his
administration rather than spending
his time in retrospection of what had
been accomplished since he entered
the White House two years ago.
This attitude of the executive was
disclosed today at the summer White
House with the statement that Off
hand the president considers, as
outstanding achievements of this adj
ministration thus far, the resump-
ton of friendly relations with Tur-
key: the strengthening of relations
with Mexico and South American re-
publics: the negotiations of debt
settlements with some of the Eu-
ropean nations and the persistent
effort to cut government fexpendi-
lures to the bone.
AS to the Dawes reparations plan
the president doesn't care to claim
credit for 1t as an administrative
achievement. He gets sufficient sat
isfaction, 1t was stated, out of the
Fact that it has been adopted and
apparently is serving a useful pur-
pose in working out a solution of the

President Coolidge does not believe
the time has come for him to take a
hand IN the anthracite situation.
DESPITE the break in negotiations
at Atlantic City between operators
and miners over a new wage scale,
he is still hoping that an agreement
will be reached in time to avert
suspension of operations Septem-

What the policy of the government
would be in the event of shut

Both Senator Moses and Senator

Alienists Declare
Scott Is Insane
At Chicago Trial

Chicago, Aug. 4-(AP)-The eff
fort to save Russell Scott from the
gallows with a proof of insanity
was concluded today with the tes-
timony of five alienists that they
had found him mentally deficient.
One said he suffered paranoc de-
mentia, another that he was not ORR
ented as to his surroundings in the
county Jail and aother that he SUI
fered delusions of persecution. A
fourth said he believed his trial for
murder here last December to have
been the result Of a gigantic con-
spiracy between the crown attorneys
of Canada and state officials ito
prevent him from exposing the
crookedness of Canadian officials
who set out to destroy him.
Three jailers who guarded Scott
in the death cell testified for the
prosecution that they believd him
sane.
Fifteen other jailers and five
state alienists still are to be heard.
The case probably will go to the
jury Thursday.
The scope of the defense expert
testimony was sharply limited by
the court to matters tending to es-
tablish development of insanity
since February IA, this year, the date
of SCOTS death sentence.
