DR.. Nicholson. who reminisces
about his work with Mr.. Dick, ad-
mits one diplomatic error in deal
ing with the aged Mahican. He
might have gathered more Ma
hican words and sentences than
he did, but for that tactical mis-
take.
The last of the Mahicans to
speak the old language was no
Thanksgiving, sharp-shooting, be-
feathered redskin, but a digni-
fed Presbyterian elder. The Ma
hican side Of Mr.. Dick chung to
the memory of his native, speech.
but the Presbyterian side of him
held grave fears that the old
language was a relic of paganism,
with which he should not be too
much concerned-even for the
worthy cause Of science.
However, DR.. Nicholson was
persuasive and friendly, and the
old Mahican gave his time to re-
calling the old speech. And then,
one day, DR.. Nicholson suggested
that Mr.. Dick excuse himself from
teaching his Sunday school class
to devote a Sunday to the lang
uage rescue work. And that upset
the scientific apple cart. The
Indians worst suspicious we're
confirmed and he would work no
longer.
Even William Dick does not re-
present the final passing Of the
Mahican tribe. There are more
than 500 persons with consider
able Mahican blood living in the
United States. They know Moth
ing more than a phrase or two
Of the old speech, and they have
become Americanized so complete
" that the customs of their an
cestors are a lost heritage to them.

MERGER IDEA HIT
No Such Move Likely Soon, Is
View in Transportation
and Bank Circles.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Advocacy by certain railroad inter-
ests of the Prince consolidation plan
today was credited in transportation
and financial circles here with start
ing a report that tentative negotiations
were under way for consolidation of the
great Pennsylvania and Baltimore d
Ohio Railroad systems.
The likelihood of any such plan be-
ing broached, at least at an early date,
was secuted.
The carriers first would have to OBJ
tain the consent of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to another change
in its eastern consolidation plan. This,
of course, is not impossible of attain
ment, despite the competition require
mentS of the transportation act. for the
law merely statse that competition shall
be maintained insofar as practicable"
and the commission has once before
changed its eastern plan.
The Prince plan, a rearrangement
Of railroads suggested by Frederick
Prince of Boston, during the working
out of the emergency transportation
act by the last Congress, contemplateS
regional consultations with carriers IN
each territory merged into two strong
systems. In the East the suggestion
was for two large systems one center
ing around the Pennsylvania and the
other around the New York Central.
The Interstate Commerce Commission s
plan contemplates four systems-the
Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio,
the New York Central and the Chesa-
peake & Ohio.

WILLARD OPPOSES MERGER
b. e. o. President Authorizes Statement
Against "Any Plan"


BALTIMORE, July 27 (R.-Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore &,
Ohio Railroad was quoted as saying he
the Baltimore & Ohio with the Penn
sylvania.
Mr.. Willard is now on vacation in
New England, but his assistant. j. s.
Murray, talked with him by long dis
tance telephone, and afterward gave
the following as Mr.. Willard's state
ment:
Il am opposed to any plan contem-
plating the consolidation Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Aailroad and the Penn
sylvania Railroad"
The Baltimore Sun in copyrighted
dispatch from washington last night
cial quarters that overtureS have been
made by the Pennsylvania Railroad to
the Baltimore & Ohio for a merger OF
the two properties"
The Sun dispatch said the merger
Is in the interest of both economy and
efficiency" but 1t was not known In
Washington "how the Baltimore & Ohio
received these advances"
Asserting "the fact that such propo-
sit;on has even been discussed by one
of the principals with the other Is q
matter of profound interest" the news
paper continued. so far IS can be indi-
Gated, these discussions have been
mainly between the financial interests
which back and in sense control the
two railroads.
And it is believed that If anything
comes to them it will be because OF
financial necessities and pressure from
financial quarters rather than because
the operating officers may be brought
into an agreement"
It was pointed out the Interstate
Commerce Commission alone has the
power to approve unification OF COM
peting railroad properties and a great
deal of argument probably would be
needed to induce that body to amend
its proposed consolidation OF the East
ern railroads.

HITLER NAMES
GOVERNORS Of
REICH STATES

BERLIN. May 5 GN.SO .-Nazi
control Of the various state gov

pleted today when Chancellor
Adolf Hitler appointed statt-
halters or "supergovernors" for
the states of Wuerttemberg,
Baden, saxony, Hesse, Bremen,
Oldenburg, and Anhalt.
All the men chosen for these
important key parts are Nazis.
President Won Hindenberg per-
sonally suggested to Hitler that
these appointments be made,
again signifying his belief in and
approval of the Nazi chancellor's
reorganization of the Reich.
The Statthalters exercise unique
and far-reaching powers. They re-
place the premiers and cabinets
formerly elected by the citizens
OF the individual states, and in
stead Of being responsible to local
diets or legislatures, report only
TO Berlin and are under the per
eonal command of Chancellor Hit
Ter.
