l. C.. C.. ATTITUDE ON RAILROAD
MERGERS WILL BE SOUGHT

taken strong exception to the earlier
policy.
1t is understood that the Chesapeake
& Ohio will ask authority to include in
its group of the Nickel Plate, Pere Mar
quette, Erie & Hooking Valley. which 1t
already controls, and also the Lacka-
wanna. Virginian. Bessemer and Lake
Erie and the Pittsburgh, Shawmut g.
Northern.
The Baltimore & Ohio insists that to
round out its system it must have the
Reading, which 1t already controls, with
the New York Central; the Central
Railroad of New Jersey. which is
closely linked up with the Reading;
the Western Maryland, which was pur-
chased in part two years ago from the
Rockefellers; the Chicago, indianapolis
g. Louisville. the Ann Arbor, the Detroit,
Toledo & Ironton. which was resur-
rected by Henry Ford in 1920, and the
Wabash, on which 1t had set its eye
before the Pennsylvania gobbled it up
last Summer.
Central Is Exception.
The New York Central is the only one
of the four big systems that has not
gone out into the open market to buy
or purchase from controlling interests
the stock of smaller and competing
lines In fact, it sold out it's holdings
of the Lehigh Valley to L. F. Loree, who
subsequently handed them over to the
Pennsylvania.
Unless the Baltimore & Ohio controls
the Reading situation it cannot carry
out the project which is imperative to
its expansion, namely. a direct entrance
by way of the Reading and the Central
Railroad of New Jersey into the New
| York territory

Kentucky Governor Goes on
Trial October 2 for Receiving
Specimens From Publishers.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FRANKFORT, KY, September 21.-
Gov. Elem D. Sampson, seven members
he appointed to the State text book
commission and IS text book publish
ers today were under indictment for
receiving and giving speciment copies
of school books in connection with the
award of contracts.
The publishers were indicted late
yesterday by the Franklin County grand
Jury, which the day before had returned
true bills against the governor and the
commissioners at the close OF a tnI nee
weeks investigation into affairs OF the
commission and various State depart
ments.
The governor Is scheduled to go on
trial here October 2, the date having
been set by Circuit Court Judge Ben G.
Williams after the chief executive ap-
peared in court with his attorneys ana
entered formal plea of not guilty.
All parties indicted are charged with
misdemeanors, but the publishers under
the law may be fined from $4,000 to
$4,000. The penalty on conviction OF
the charges against the governor is q
fine Of not more than 1000 or jail
sentence of not more than six months,
or both.
Attorneys for the commissioners said
today the charges rest entirely on in
depreciation of the statutes creating and
regulating the tetx book commission
One statute stipulateS that specimen
copies be provided for perusal by the
commission in making awards Of con-
tracts for uniform text books for Ken
lucky schools. But no mention is
made whether specimen copies should
be provided individual members.
Three of those indicted said yesterday
they had no doubt they were entitled
TO the specimens, and admitted they hao
sold hundreds of the volumes to Chi
cago secondhand dealer for sums rang
ing up to 1925.
A section of an advertisement FOL
bids on the text books was cited today
as a defense of the action of those
commissioners who received and dis
posed of the books The advertisement
published several times, said:
Each person, firm or corporation
making bid to furnish any text book
or text books, shall, free of charge, pro-
vide each member of the commission
with a copy or copies Of the text book
or text books, which he or it bids te
furnish"
The governor has been an ardent ad-
vocate Of free textbooks, but his pro-
grsEl is still far from being fulfilled
after two years. The conStitutionality
Of the free text book act and the valid
ity of various contracts have been chal
lenged in the courts, and although TIT
conStitutionality of the act was upheld
the Court of Appeals pointed out that
the act was imperative until funds were
provided for the texts.
