Stonington Set For
 Iron Horse Program
One Hundred Years of Progress in Railroad Engineer
 ing to Be Celebrated November 10

, L. Gross, will observe this memorable
 anniversary,
 The first railroad in the borough
 was Incorporated in May, 1892 bJ
 the New York 6S Stonlngton Rail- ! road Go. A year later, the legisla- ,G"s adopted e resolution merging
 this company with the New York Providence & Boston Railroad Go,
 of Rhode Island, The merger be-
 came effective July l, 1883,
 The next railroad company in thC
 borough was chartered In l862-ThC
 New London & stonington Railroat
 Go. The line was to extend from
 the Thames river easterly to the
 track of the New York, ProVidencC
 & Boston but 1t was not built until
 the local company merged with the
 New Haven & New London Rail- road Co., with authority to estab- liSh Q ferry across the Thames riV- or. This consolidation resulted in completion of the road from Ston- ington to New London and furnish- cd the last link of railway between Boston and New York.
 It proved unsuccessful financially and In 1888, the legislature author iSed the New York, Providence and Boston to lease, for two years, the line from Stonington to New Lon- don, The following year, tho legis- lAture authorized an extension of the lease to 20 years. The leasing operations resulted in Q loss for the local road. The bondholders peti- toned the legislature for Q fore- closure Of their mortgages, and while action pended, the aid of tho state body was invoked to allow trustees to run, lease or sell the road for their benefit.
 In 1864, the legislature reorgan- iSed the New Haven, New London x stonington Railroad Co,. under the name of the Shore Line Rail- way, extending from New Haven to New London. The same year, tho old New London & Stonington Co.,, was reorganized 10 embrace the lines between New London and 9tnoington, by associate ing itself as cerporators to form c new company; buying bondholderS adn authorizing trustees to sell or lease interest in the road and dis- solving the connection between the old New Haven and New London, and the old New London and 9ton- ingten companies, formed by the act of 1886. The New York, Providence & Boston purchased the railroad property ferry and fran. ehises on December 1, 1884, and operated 1t for many years.
 In 1878 the legislature amended the charter to enable the company to form Q connection between tracks west of 9toningten and successful operation followed. The company, in 1882, in order to make Q connec- ton with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad O., tracks at New London, was authorized by the legislature to onstruct a bridge across tho Thames river. The actual construction was not begun until June 1, 1898. This bridge and ap. breaches cost the New York, Prov idence & Boston more than Sl,eO0,- 900.
 By February, 1893, the New Haven road has bought every share of the New York, Providence & Boston The companies merged, and arc now operated as the New York New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company,

DEEP SEA FISHING

Daisy D5sDntcn Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel


Raleigh, June 15.-Deep-sea game
fishing is good in the Gulf stream off
the North Carolina coast during most
Of the summer and amberjack, tar
pom Zero and other game fish may
be hooked for any who want to ven
ture out for enough to get these big
fish, according 90 DR.. H. r. Pry-
therch, director of the biological la
boratory of the U. S. Bureau Of Fish
cries at Beaufort. DR.. Prytherch is
one of the recognized experts on fish
in the United States, especially those
to be found in North Carolina waters,
and heads staff of biologists who
do nothing else lout study the marine
life along the coast.
In his laboratory at Beaufort DR.
Prytherch has beautiful tarpon
some four feet long only recently
mounted, which he caught last sum-
mer on a fishing trip to the Gulf
stream. On another panel, and also
just completed, is large Zero which
was hooked by Senator Josiah w.
Bailey while on a Gulf stream fishing
trip with DR.. Prytherch, On these
trips to the gulf stream, DR.. Fry
therch collects samples of sea water
at varying depths in order to study
microscopic animal and plant life in
it, also as many different specimens
of fish as possible.
"On one Of our last trips to the
gulf stream we hooked a 16-foot shark
but he cut the line in two before we
could land him." DR.. Prytherch said.
The big fish are ut there, all right,
for any who want to go after them.
The only drawback to deep-sea
| fishing in the Gulf stream off the
North Carolina coast is that it is from
| 80 to IS miles out the stream, neces-
stating pretty dependable and sea-
| worthy boat to get there. DR.. Pry-
! therch uses the 46-foot cruiser belong

pecially for experimental fishing. This
cruiser, the Sandpiper, can do about

TODAY
ON RED RIDER
REPEAL

The 1ong-awaited conference of
House and Senate conferees on the
"red rider" repeal bill was to be
held today, with advocates Of COM
plete repeal expecting agreement
on the Senate action.
The Senate approved complete
repeal, but the House amended the
measure to provide that commun-
ism may be taught, but not advo-
Gated.
Senator Hugo L. Black CD Of
Alabama, chairman Of the Com
mittee on Education and Labor.
which handled the measure on the
Senate side, has indicated that
Senate conferees will stand firm.
House COnferees Free
On the other hand the House
conferees, Representatives Mary T.
Norton CD Of New Jersey, Am.
brose ]. Kennedy Cd Of Mary
land and Everett Dirksen (Is) of
Illinois, have made no such com.
mitmentS.
Belief prevails that the con.
ferees either will agree to the Sen
ate bill or to report to their re-
spective houses for further instruc-
tions.
In the latter case, belief Is preva.
lent that the House will vote to &C.
cept the Senate proposition.
Many to Switch
Many Of those in the House who
voted for the amended repeal bill
since have stated privately that
they did so because If they had
voted against the amendment,
their opponents in the next cam.
paigns might accuse them Of vot.
ing for Communism.
Now, they say if the matter Is
put up to them by the conferees
they can vote for outright repeal
and can explain by saying they
saw no other way Of eliminating
the evils in the red rider" with
the Senate insisting on complete
repeal.
