UNION OF B. & M.
AND NEW HAVEN
WILL BE SOUGHT
Governor CurIey to Push
Coordination Proposed
by Predecessor.
By Times Special

81 itmCS special
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-In an
effort TO untangle the New England
railroad knot. Gov. James NJ. Cur
ley, of Massachusetts. is preparing
to recommend to the Legislature
that the Boston and Maine and the
New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroads be co-ordinated, it
was learned today. Legislative sane
ton of the proposal is anticipated
because of the growing necessity to
relieve the stringency of the New
Ravens position.
Governors of all the New England
states are said to concur in the
plan. Former Gov. Joseph B. Ely,
of Massachusetts. sponsored the pro-
poSal prior to his retirement from
the executive chair.
Running at Deficit
The New Haven is running at a
heavy operating deficit at present.
Its net loss for 1884 will be in the
neighborhood of $6,5OOOOO. The road
is indebted to the RFC for large
sums and recently negotiated loan
from that agency of $6000,000 in
order to meet fixed charges.
While the Boston and Maine is not
having as stormy time as the New
Haven, it likewise is not carrying
any revenue through to net. For
the first II months of 1884 the sys-
tenn reported deficit of S405 900.
Coordination of the facilities Of
the two railroads, therefore, would
meet with favor from their bond
holders. Owners of the railroads are
more dubious of the proposal, 1t IS
said. The Pennsylvania Railroad
and its affiliate, Pennroad Corp,
own % per cent of the outstanding
New Haven stock. Through hold
ing company the New Haven con-
trolls SIS per cent of Boston and
Maine stock.

Might Be Driven Out

Coordination of the two railroads
might tend to drive the Pennsyl-
vania out Of New England, "a result
which has been the objective of a
long compaign by manufacturing in
tere-ts in the New England states.
For this raeson the Pennsylvania
may try to block the coordination
plan.
Present outlines of the plan call
for the establishment of board Of
trustees to oversee the operations
of the two railroads. Traffic of the
companies would be pooled and roll
ing stock used INTERCHANGEABLE. No
disturbance of either company's fl
nancial structure is contemplated.
A pro rata distribution of earnings
from the co-ordinated properties
would be made.

Unable to Agree

The Governors of the six New
England states are anxious to work
out a consolidation plan for the
territory under which all the rail-
roads running through it would be
co-ordinated
Under the consolidation plan for
Eastern railroads approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
1882, solution of the New England
problem was left to a later date.
The four major Eastern systems
have been unable to agree among
themselves on New England alloca-
tons. This factor, taken in con-
junction with the present financial
low estate of the railroads, generally
has operated to postpone settle
ment of the problem.

Miss Bergman Reported at
Adds Ababa, Where Lega-

Miss Esther Bergman, who once
was public health nurse in Takoma
Park, Md, is one Of the Seventh-day
Adventist missionaries in Ethiopia,
among the l25 Americans ordered by
the American legation to leave the
country.
There are about 10 or II American
missionaries of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church in Ethiopia. ac-
cording to H. T Elliott. associate
secretary of the churchs missionary
board in Takoma Park.
Elliott said Miss Bergman was To-
Gated in Zaudit Memorial Sanitarium
and Hospital at Adds Ababa. where
the American legation is situated.
Attempts were being made today by
the church's headquarters at Takoma
Park to get in touch with the situa-
ton through the north European
division of the organization.
Others From England.
Approximately IS other Adventist
missionaries in Ethiopia are citizens
Of England and the Scandinavian
countries, Mr.. Elliott said, explaining
these we're responsible to the London
office Of the denomination.
No immediate instructions are con-
templated by the General Conference
following today's report that the
American legation has ordered all of
its nationals out Of the country, he
said. but pointed out that some of
them may have trouble getting out of
the country unless they leave while
the railroads are in operation. The
town of bessie, where the organiza-
tion maintains one of its three
hospitals in the country in co-opera-
ton with the Ethiopian government
is four days trip by caravan from
Adds Ababa, he said. The other
hospitals are at Adds Ababa and
Debre Tabor.
London Orders Expected.
Mr.. Elliott said he thought likely
the London office of the denomina-
ton would instruct the missionaries
to proceed to Alden, in Southwestern
Arabia near the Red Sea, there to
await further instructions.
Other missionaries in Ethiopia who
were appointed by the Takoma Park
headquarters include DR.. and Mrs. g.
C. Bergman Of Los Angeles, Calf.

DR.. and Mrs. T. c. Nicola, Monte

By the Associated Press.
The threatened outbreak Of hostili-
ties between Italy and Ethiopia yes
terday stirred new action in Washing
ton designed to insure American neu-
trality in event Of war.
The State Department revealed that
William Perry George, charge daft
faires in Adds Ababa, had been au-
thorized to advise the approximately
125 American citizens now In Abys-
sinia to concentrate In the Ethiopian
capital or leave the country.
The Afro European tension simul-

vestigators a new whip to speed con-
gressional action on its proposed arms
embargo and neutrality legislation.
Selassie's Plea Rejected.
The State Departments action
toward the evacuation Of this coun-
try's nationals was almost coincidental
with the American note to Halle
Selassie, Ethiopian Emperor, rejecting
plea for invocation of the Kellogg
BRAND peace pact. In it Secretary
Hull said this Government was 'loath
to believe" there would be any out
break Of war.
Responsible officials here contended
however, that the evacuation move
based upon the premise of actual
hostilities, was merely the exercise OF
wise and necessary precautions In pre-
pairing for any eventuality.
Other nations have already taken
steps for the evacuation of their ma
tionals If and when war comes to the

Ethiopians are Cavalrymen by tnheri-

the mountain passes a squad Of
Cavalry in defense is worth a regi-
ment of foot soldiers in attack.

His coronation in 1880 was in the

One of Halle Selassie's greatest dip
lomatic featS was in obtaining the
admission of his nation into the
League of Nations in 1928. after that
body had Investigated slave trading
in the empire and the emperor had
published a decree making such trad

Now Italy claims slavery still Is
practiced in Ethiopia and that, there
fore, Ethiopia has no right to her
seat at Geneva; the Ethiopians claim
Italy intends to violate the League
