 AGREE TRUNK SYSTEM

NEW YORK, April 12. (P)-Rail- road executives of the Pennsylvania, New York Central and other Eastern lines reached an agreement for a four trunk system after having almost failed in the purpose because of oppo- sition of Leonor Loree, sponsor of the fifth trunk line between New York and West.
 The break was averted by Otto Kahn, acting for Loree's bankers.
 Details of plan are as yet un- known but it is definitely learned the proposal calls for only four trunk lines and is satisfactory to Loree. The agreement makes possible the integra- ton of roads operating 50,000 miles of lines.

YO HO AND A BOTTLE OF MOON
JUSTIN w. HARDING

Appointment by President Cool idge of Justin w. Harding to the United States judgeship of the First Division of Alaska fills an important position that has been vacant since the death last spring of Thomas M. Reed. An Oregon man was nomi- mated for the place soon after Judge Reeds demise, but objections by Alashans to a "carbetbagger" caused the Senate to refuse confirmation.
 MT Harding went to Juneau from Ohio last year to assume the United States district attorneyship of the First Division. His selection for that office was approved by the Ohio senators and his confirmation then encountered no serious opposi- ton. Without doubt his promotion will have Ohio support. In choosing him the President has reduced by at least a year, the effectiveness of ,'carbetbag'' criticism. .'-Seattle P. l.
