The epistle warned inn that he would be shot with q nickel plated bullet' if he acted the least bit suspicious or sought to learn the identity of the author. It continued to state that the motto of his gang was to hit the victim with the first bullet and then to continue to fire in his general di- rection until the gun was emptled.
 The letters were well written and carefully worded so that they might strike the receiver with fear that he was to be victimized unless he fulfilled the request of his dastard- ly enemies.
 Boslosky, who doesn't look the part of the desperate character that the letters allegedly written by him would make him out to be, is tall. slender youth and would not give the impression that he was particularly ruthless by nature. He will be tried at tomorroW's session of police court.

valued at nearly $5O0,000 and may cause a return to the old system, Coast Guard officials believe. i
 Within the last quarter of the year, the "Contact boats" changed their design. Searchlights of Coast Guard patrols revealed rum laden craft of rakish lines, with keels of the sea sled type. The boat builders art apparently has been brought to play to construct vessels capable of high speed in rough seas whilel heavily loaded.
 The Coast Guard has profited by the mprovements in boat buildingi introduced by the rum runners. Sev- eraI speedy confiscated craft have been refitted as Coast Guard patrol' boats. One of these is the former Black Duck, on which three rum runners were killed resisting capture near Newport, R. L, last year.

Delays Retard Railroads

These uncertainties and delays over nearly ten years have scrlous- lv retarded development Of the rail- ways and have prevented q desirable growth in many directions, and have diminished their ability to compete with other forms of transportation. Such questions as electrlflcauon, linking up of different railroads, de- velopment of terminals and many other major improvements have been retarded because of uncertain ty with respect to the position when particular roads are to occupy ln the permanent grouping.
 Tt is my understanding that the plan provides for the protection Of the interest of the emploYes and full consideration of the interest Of the various communities and carries out the requirements of the law Tn protection Of public interest general lv. The presidents Of the major systems have agreed upon the many details of the plan with the eHcep- ton Of minor point which is left to arbitration.
 "The plan. of course, must be sub- mitted 10 the interstate commerce commission, who have the inde- pendent duty 10 determine if 1t meets with every requirement Of public interest"
 Meanwhile, members of the inter- state commerce commission declln- d to comment on published reports of the new plan.
 The American Railway AsSocia- ton offilials also refrained from any 1 immediate announcement of details 1 of the proposed plan. E. H. Alsh- ton, president Of the association ! conferred late yesterday with Presl- dent Hoover.

Provided For in Act
"The transportation act ]

"The transportation act passed by congress in 1920 provides for a consolidation of railways into a limited number of strong systems in order to maintain broader competi- ton. more adequate service, simpli- tication of rate structure, lower operating costs and in the long run lower rates to the public.
 During the past ten years pos sible grouping Of the roads so as to carry out the law has been under constant discussion, The interstate commerce commission has no power to compel such consultations. They can only be effected upon limitations of the carriers.
 During this period number of negotiations have been undertaken in respect to these railways, with view to carrying out the wishes of congress, but they have proved abor- tive.
 A year ago the interstate com- merce commission issued a suggest ed plan for consolidating these roads into five systems. This plan, like others, has met with objections which apparently made il an unsolv- able basis
