CARDINALS MAY BE ADDED
U. S. May Receive Fifth in Con-
sistory Rumored.

VATICAN CITY, June 18 CP).-Pop-
oil dl Roma today said the United
States probably would receive a fifth
cardinal, Latin America a second and
Spain fifth in a forthcoming con-
siStory during the 10 days of October.
Other sources, however, insisted there
would be no consistory before the close
of the papal jubilee year, December
20, and that then the proportion of
non-Italian cardinals would be in
creased. There now are IL vacancies.
The paper said Archbishop Macrory
of Armagh, primate of Ireland, would
be raised to the purple.

Especial to The Herald)

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June 4-Savings
estimated at approximately $1,000
BOO a year will be effected through
unified operation Of the twenty-five
subsidiaries OF the Missouri Pacific,
President L. w. Baldwin testified
here today at the opening Of a hear
ing being conducted by Attorney
Examiner Davis of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The hearing
Is on the application Of the Missouri
Pacific to lease all Of the subsidi-
aries to the parent company for
operating.
The Missouri Pacific and subsidi-
aries now carry average stocks Of
materials and supplies valued at
e15,000.O0. Baldwin testified. The
inventories on these items could be
reduced at least 10 per cent II the
lease proposal is approved. The
public already has benefited through
Improved service. Mr.. Baldwin testi-
fled. With reference to the sub
salaries acquired by the Missouri
Pacific since he has been at the
head OF the properties he TOLD OF i'm

stance the present vegetable sched-
ule between Harrington. Texas. end

40 minutes quicker than In 1924.
He explained how II the lease ar
rangement is approved the public
viii benefit further as a result of the
better distribution Of power and
equipment elimination Of all delays
incident to Junction transfers and
records. Mr.. Baldwin asserted that
the present application is in no
tional properties but an attempt TO
effect economies and improve the
efficiency.
He told Of the industrial and agri-
cultural development work being
done by the Missouri Pacific and
added he has fostered and tried 10
build UP a railroad organization
dedicated TO public service and that
he had taken in short lines wller-
ever he could do so. Other witnesses
will follow Mr.. Baldwin and develop
in detail the various contentious Of
the Missouri Pacific with regard to
the economies and increased eff
cheney that will result.
Mr.. Baldwin brought out in his
testimony that the expected million
dollar saving will include economies
that will result from elimination of
duplication Of accounting which In
Itself will amount TO q considerable
sum. Application was filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission by
the Missouri Pacific late in Febru-
ary to lease the subsidiary lines and
following the usual procedure in

these several cases Mr.. Baldwin in
his testimony said. II should like 70
state our position with reference TO
short line roads which have inter-
vened and are seeking to compel the
Missouri Pacific to purchase prop
critics which 1t does not desire and
which must in my judgment be
burdensome to the Missouri Pacific
and q tax upon the commerce OF the
country there is a very wide differ
ence between the public necessity
and convenience which the commis-
sion is authorized to protect under
the transportation act and the in
terests of the unfortunate investor
in a short line railroad.
I'm many instances the construc-
ton of hard surfaced roads paral-
leling such short lines not only has
materially affected their traffic but
really have done away with their
former standing as a necessary
transportation facility. If the owner
of a short line wants a trunk line to
take II over and the commission
finds that the public convenience
and necessity require the operation
Of a short line road by that partic-
ular trunk line railroad IL seems 70
me that it should under such rules
and regulations as the commission
may prescribe. require the owner OF
a short line after first putting 1t in
good operating condition, TO fi-st
turn the short line property over
70 the trunk line to operate for the
account OF the short line for a Civ
en- period Of time, say five years,
keeping accurate accounting under
the orders Of the commission.
with a view TO determining the
worth OF the property"
MI. Baldwin pointed out that IN
this way an estimate OF the value
OF such short lines could be ar
rived at with fairness to all con-
cerned. He recited the recent his
tory OF the Missouri Pacific telling
OF the acquisition Of the Gulf
Coast Lines, the international
Great Northern, the San Antonio.

lines subsidiaries. He explained
that the Missouri Pacific owns SO
per cent OF the New Orleans. Texas
and Mexico which in turn and
through subsidiaries owns the 9TH
er properties and said that the e
naming 3 per cent is owned by
about 800 stockholders.
He told OF traffic losses through
opening Of the port Of Corpus
Christi. construction Of hard sur
faced roads and the invasion OF
the Lower Rio Grande Valley by
the Southern Pacific. With the
approval Of the commission he
said that traffic losses due 10 the
opening OF the Corpus Christi port
were estimated TO have cost the
Missouri Pacific s460.0 900 last year
and he told how various rate re-
auctions since 1924 have reduced
the revenues approximately $780,
600 annually while wage increases
have increased operating costs ap-

MARINES INVADE
HONDURAN SOIL
Sandinistas Beat Back
u. S. Forces

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March
22.-United States marines and
Nicaraguan national guards under
American command today crossed
the Honduran frontier and fought
a patrol of the Nicaraguan army
of independence which had taken
refuge there.
A native of Honduras was killed
by a stray bullet during the fight.
The number of casualties in the
army of General SANDING could not
be learned.
This is the second time that the
marines have invaded Honduran soil
in pursuit of Nicaraguan forces
which had fled there from the Amer
lean invaders Of their country.
Previously considerable force of
marines was sent across the neutral
border to compel the wives and
families of soldiers in the army of
independence to return to Nicaragua
where they might be acted upon to
persuade their relatives to desert
General SANDING.
In this instance the SANDING
troops are said to have withdrawn
to the border town of San Marcos
where, seeing that the marines were
intent on crossing the line, they
made a stand against them.
1t is reported that the marines
have withdrawn.
President Moncada, acting at the
incaaance of the United States mill
tary leaders, has offered to place a
strong patrol on the border to pre-
vent the forces of General SANDING
from taking refuge in Honduras.
The gesture is obviously a diplo-
matte one, since the marines AND
Nicaraguan government have never
been able to restrain the movements
CT the my of independence, ex-
cept where larger marine forces
have met small SANDING scouting
parties.
