RAIL EXECUTIVES
WORK ON POOL PLAN
Advisory Committee, Study
ing Proposal, Confers With
I..C. C. Members.

The Advisory Committee named last
week by the Association Of Railway
Executives to study the surcharge pool
ing plan proposed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission continued today
its study of the suggestion in an effort
to formulate a decision on the matter.
which must be given to the commits
sion by December l. The plan was
advanced when the commission re-
jected the carriers plea for a Is per
cent freight rate increase.
The committee started its session
yesterday, and late in the day four
members conferred with the commits
zion for the purpose, it was understood.
OF sounding out the tribunal on
changes.
Administration Is Issue.
The main issue is said to be regard
ing the administration of the funds
that would be set up under the pool
ing plan. which would levy extra
charges on certain commodities. The
more prosperous roads want the money
that would go from the fund to roads
needing funds to pay interest on their
bonds to be loan and not a gift.
There was no word forthcoming as
to the conference with the Commission,
or whether the executives would seek
further conversation. Whatever de-
cision might be reached, 1t was said,
would not be made public before the
carriers had chance to pass upon it.
This, it was thought. would be afforded
when the American Railway Association
meets in Chicago next Wednesday.
There Is much preliminary work to
be done with regard to the proposal,
both from an accounting and from a
traffic standpoint, it was explained
The conferees with the Commission
yesterday were. w. r. Cole, president
of the Louisville & Nashville; H. A..
Scandrett of the Chicago, Milwaukee,
New Haven. and Alfred p Thorn, coun-
sci for the railway executives.
Hoover and COuzens Confer.
While the railroad leaders were meet
ing here yesterday President Hoover
and Senator Couzens discussed rail-
ways and taxes at the White House.
There was nothing from the Chief
Executives Office to indicate the trend
of the conversation, but Senator Cou-
zens said later he was finding out II
some OF his legislative plans met the
views of Mr.. Hoover.
Senator Couzens, chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Committee, Is in
favor of holding up projected CONSOLE
dations in the East until Congress has
had chance to pass additional legis-
lation on this subject, which now is en-
tirely within the province of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. He also
favored bus and truck regulation.
That efforts will be made this Win
ter to modify or strengthen laws regu-
lating railroads and transportation gen.
orally is regarded as certain. Beside
Senator Couzens' visit to the President,
Granville Clark, New York. and
Charles Evans Hughes, jr., attorneys
for security holders in the rate case,
called on Walter H. Newton, a presi-
dental secretary, to discuss railroad
legislation.
The commission has asked repeal or
modification of several sections Of the
law under which it acts This applies
particularly to the excess income re-
capture provisions. which the rail
tribunal has held impossible Of proper
administration.

ton Through Counsel.

Edward Beale Mclean, publisher of

Wilton J. Lambert and George B.

parts Of the country In his private car.
Mclean is reported to be in Europe
and the motion to dismiss is made by
his counsel. who claim his wife has no
authority in equity to institute the suit
as next friend of the children, for
whom special guardians have been
named by the court in the equity pro-
ceeding under which Mclean was
Bill Also Attacked.
The point also is made that the bill
of complaint is improperly filed, in that
it appears that the removal of Mclean
is sought while the Equity Court still
retains jurisdiction over the estate of
John r. Mclean to determine matters
arising under the trust estate, and an
application for McLean's removal should
be filed in that proceeding by the
guardians ad litem. named by the court
for the children.

through its president. Corcoran Thorn,
filed an answer yesterday in which it
admitted McLean's frequent absences
have prevented persona conferences,
but said it has been able in urgent
matters to communicate with him
through his counsel.
The trust company denied it had
asked for McLeans resignation, but
admitted 1t threatened to do so and
requested closer attention to the affairs
of the estate and of the Washington

United States Senator Carter Glass
stated last night that "for the present"

The statement was contained in

Lynchburg News and Daily Advance.
sued for libel by publishing editorially
any of 16 charges the bishop listed.
The News and Advance planned to
publish the Cannon statement IN full
with no other comment than that con-
tanned in Senator Glass statement.
The statement follows:
Apparently for consumption by the
Virginia annual conference of the
Methodist Church. in session at Norfolk
a year ago, Bishop Cannon instituted
suit for the modest sum CT $4,000, 900
against a certain newspaper publisher
for alleged libel. Collection on account
being a little tardy, he now. for appar-
ent consumption by the Virginia Meth
odist Conference in session in Lynch
burg, threatens to sue me for an un-
designated sum should my newspapers
think him of sufficient importance to
repeat some of the things that the
press and responsible persons from one
end of the country to the other have
been saying for a long time. I prefer
for the present, to leave this gentleman
to the courts and to the Congressional
Committee authorized to inquire into
the grave criminal charges against
him."
