VIRGINIA TO CALL
POWER CONCLAVE
long-Term Coordination of
Plant Expansion Will
Be Sought.
Ry the Associated Press,

RICHMOND. Va, June 14-State
Corporation Commissioner Thomas
Ozlin said yesterday that the COM
mission will call q conference of
utility executives of Virginia to dis
cuss possibilities of long-range plan
for power developments
Such course was recommended
in May by Allen Saville and Leonard
Blackburn. engineers, in a report of
a power survey made for thes COM
mission over a period of many months.
The engineers, in suggesting some
coordination of utility expansion
plans, particularly mentioned the Vr-
ginia Public Service, the Virginia Elec-
tric & Power and the Appalachian
companies.
Ozlin said, however, that other COM
panies- the Northern Vir-
ginia and the East Coast-would be
invited to the conference
Under the plan as Ozlin considered
it one utility might wish or be per-
suaded to purchase available excess
power from another company in lieu
of constructing another generating
unit.
Saville and Blackburn asserted that
1T is evident that each of the COM
panies in Virginia will have a problem
in the next 10 years as to sources
of additional power.
IF each company solves it's own
problems without particular reference
to what Is being done by the others,
there might develop conceivably a
situation where each of the COM
panies had, say. 40 per cent excess
or reserve capacity; whereas if all Of
the companies were considered to-
gether with the already built trans
mission lines used, it would not be
necessary to build all this plant at
the same time"
Ozlin said he believed that the
public would gain through this quasi
curtailment of new plants and equip
ment, which necessarily figure in rates.
No definite time has been set for
the conference, but it may be held
within week or 10 days the COM
missioner said.

WHEAT BILL SENT
TO WHITE HOUSE
President Has Been Seeking
Methods of Disposing
of 1893 Crop.
Bv the Associated Press.

Bv the Associated Press
A bill to regulate next years wheat
acreage was sent today to President
Roosevelt. who has been studying
methods Of disposing of part of the
large 1888 crop.
Both the Senate and House an
proved legislation yesterday fixing the
1889 acreage under the crop control
law at not less than $4,000, 900 acres.
compared with 79,000,000 acres this
year
Congressional farm leaders told
their colleagues that unless the floor
were fixed complicated formula in
the law would compel the Agriculture
Department to fix the 1899 acreage
at about 440O0, 900 acres, much less
than normal.
Representative Lamneck, Democrat,
OF Ohio, told the House:
This proves our farm program
hasn't worked in practice. still think
the agricultural program is . cock
eyed proposition"
The Agriculture Department fore
cast Friday that the current wheat
crop would be 1,02o, ,623, 900 bushels
the largest on record. The closest
approach was in 1915, when farmers
harvested l,00s ,637, 600 bushels.
Reports have come from the South
west, however. indicating rust and
other unexpected damage may reduce
the yield.
The prospective record crop pronp-
ted President Roosevelt Saturday to
discuss with Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and Assistant Secretary of
State Sayre the possibility of dis
posing OF surplus of perhaps 500,-
100000 bushels.
Later the President ordered a sur
vey Of world wheat supply conditions,
but it was not learned whether the
inquiry would lead to special methods
OF selling the surplus abroad.
Chairman Jones of the House Agri-
culture Committee suggested that
Secretary Wallace use part of a spe-
cial 500, ,000, 900 fund set aside in the
crop-control bill to meet the unprece-
dented situation.
The money, equal to 80 per cent
of the Governments tariff receipts, is
intended to help the Government dis
pose of crop surpluses either at home
or abroad.

CHESAPEAKE CORP.
TO Be DISSOLVED
Board Moves to Distribute
c. & o. Holdings to
Stockholders.
v the Associated Press.

oS tue hSSuClatc0 fIeS8.
BALTIMORE, June 14.-Acting
swiftly just few minutes after three
new members were named the Chesa-
peake Corp. Board of Directors voted
today to dissolve the corporation at
the earliest practicable moment"
The move came at regular meeting
of the middle holding company of the
Van Sweringen rail empire. At the
special meeting Just prior to the reg
ular group including the Guaranty
Trust Co. of New York, third largest
bank in the country, took control of
the corporation from Robert r.
Young, Cleveland flnancier.
Holdings to Be Distributed.
The resolution adopted by the board
added that pending the legal steps
requisite to carrying out such dissolu-
ton in accordance with the Maryland
law, the principal holdings of the cor
poration in the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway should be distributed to the
stockholders of the corporation; ="
The action, at much-ad journed
special meeting of the corporation,
centered about election of one director
to fill a vacancy and creation of two
new directorships. Men opposing Mr..
Young filled all three posts-Earle
Bailie, New York investment banker;
John B. Hollister, Cincinnati attor-
ney. and John L, Dickinson, Charles
ton CW. Va banker.
Mr.. Young's group held 1884, $50
shares, representing .324 stockholders.
while the group headed by Mr. Battle
had 1,305.819 shares, representing II
proxies and individuals here for the
meeting. The vote on Mr.. Bailie's
election to the regular vacancy was by
that margin.
Included in the proxies held by the
Bailie group were 10000 shares Of
Chesapeake stock held by Guaranty
under the indenture as security for
bonds of Allegheny Corp, top holding
company in the financial structure.
Young Loses Court Fight.
Mr.. Young controls Allegheny and
last week lost a New York court fight
to prevent Guaranty voting its stock
at today's meeting
Mr.. Young proposed Col Leonard
P Ayres, Cleveland, for the post to
which Bailie was named. Young pro-
tested elections of persons nominated
by the opposing group, saying he
hoped and believed that this corpo-
ration will have but a short life, per-
haps two or three weeks
The Cleveland financier added he
felt those proposed by him knew af-
fairs Of the corporation better and
would be able to expedite its disso-
luton
Chesapeake Corp. held nominal
control of the Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway, most profitable of the Van
Sweringen set-up, through the "a per
cent of stock it owned.
Both sides indicated, however. that
the Chesapeake Corp. fight had be-
come largely academic since Chesa-
peake Corps minority holdings of
c. & o. stock were rendered at least
temporarily impotent by an unprece-
dented vote of individual stockholders
of the road in favor of MANAGEMENT
control.
On May 10 Messrs. Bailie, Hollister
and Dickinson were elected to the
railway board.
