ICE TREATMENT
TO STOP FRUIT
TREES BUDDING
Hagerstown, M4., Jan. 25 Will F.
Thomas, an orchardist near here, be
lieves the "ice treatment" has saved
his fruit trees from premature bud
ding during the . unseasonable warm
weather of the present winter. When
other farmers in the neighborhood
discovered the springlike warmth of
tne air; starting their'- trees to bud,
Thomas hustled off to town and re
turned with about a ton of ice. He
packed and salted around the base of
each bearing tree in his orchard-, re
newing it as the ice melted away. As
a result none of the trees showed any
signs of budding.
The Ice treatment was continued
over two days of the "summery"
weather. The cost, -the man estimat
ed today, was 15 cents per ,tree. He
said he would prefer to ! wait until
time when his trees should properly
bud before passing flnal opinion on
the success of his plan. Thomas got
his idea by noting California growers
building fires for frost prevention arid
figured; he -might reverse the process
with success. i . .

Takes Over AH Operating Re
sponsibility Of Freight And
Passenger Traffic
'Adalbert R, Whaiey, known to rail
road men simply as A. R., who for
seven years has, been manager of the
Grand Central Terminal In New York,
was elected "vice-president In charge
of operation" of the New Haven rail
road yesterday at a directors meet
ing. President Mellen was in the
chair.
Mr.- Whaiey assumes his new duties
on February 1-, and he alone will be
responsible for the passenger and
freight traffic. If there Is improve
ment In operation Mr. Whaiey will be
credited with it, if there are mistakes
or accidents he will set the oiame. Mr.
Mellen. will yield responsibility for
passenger or freight operation on ireD.
1.- - v
A,t the Grand Central it was said
that Mr. Whaiey s new office is sec
ond only to that of President Mellen.
In responsibility the new operating
vice-president: ranks the president.
Mr. Whaiey will transfer operating
headquarters Of the road from jNew
Haven to the Grand Central Terminal.
He severe all connection with the New
York Central. The matter of a suc
cessor to take up bis duties for the
Central will be settled by "Monday
next.
. '"Have any recent criticisms," Mr.
Whaiey was asked, "caused President
Mellen to wish to be relieved of tne
responsibilities of operation ?" ..
"Not at all," the new operating vice
president answered promptly. "If that
were the cause of my election to this
office. Isn't it reasonable to suppose
that the change would have been made
a .month or two ago, when the crlti
cisms you have -in mind were being
heard? .
The new office is merey a part of
the general systematic improvement
in operating that has been going on
successfully for- some time, a. part of
our steady striving for efficiency. New
York is a pretty big place, the Har
lem River yards form one of the big
gest, doubtless the biggest, single en
terprise of the entire system: and this
terminal, which - we ; share with - the
Grand Central, is a tremendous thing.
And so the directors have decided that
it makes for systematic operation to
have the operating headquarters here
on tne spot.
Born near Providence, nearly , fifty
years ago. Mr. Whaiey began his rail
road career when sixteen years old as
a freight bra iceman on the old Provi
dence and Worcester road, and received-
$1,62 a! day. - In .turn1 he work

passenger conductor, trainmaster,

there and eventually consolidating
the Providence yards he became su-
-pesintendent of -the " Worcester Divi
sions He had charge of the first heavy
traction electric-il installation in this
country, which was at Providence, on
the line between Providence and Fall
River.-
In ISO Mr. Whaiey became super
intendent - of the New York Division
of the New' Haven . road. . In 1906 he
was chosen jointly by the New Haven
and New York Central roads as their
representative In charge of the New
York terminal. From-the brakeman's

COMMISSION
IS FAVORED BY
- GOVERNOR TOSS
His Plan Unfolded at Con
ference of New England
. Executives, Today
How He Would Regulate
Railroads and Enforce ,
Efficient Service
Boston, Jan. 25 With the exception
of Gov. Haines, of Maine, the Gover
nors of the New Bnglarfd States met
at the Hotel Touraine, today, at the
suggestion of Gov. Foss, of I Massa
chusetts, to confer on the railroad sit
uation which, arose from the stopping
of the construction . of the Grand
Trunk's branch line through Boston to
Providence, R. I., by an alleged agree
ment with the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad.
Uip until the last moment before the
conference, Gov. Foss held to his. de
cision to bar all newspaper men and
representatives- of the press associa
tions. However, it was generally
known and admitted that Gov. Foss
would suggest a New England) railroad
commission comprised of the chair
men of the six New England State
railroad committees to be empowered
by- the Legislatures of the various
States to regulate and control " the
railroad situation, and especially to .en
force efficient passenger and freight
service and rates.
In a letter ,to the other five Gover
nors made public today, Gov. Foss
declared that New England, because
of' Its isolated geographical location,
has been practically ignored by the
national legislature in the matter ot
railroads, and that this fact is respon
sible for the alleged complete monop
oly of the steamship, railroad and trol
ley transportation by the New Haven
road.
It was pointed out in the letter that
the States - are at a disadvantage in
dealing separately with the -railroad
situation and that -the only solution
which will lead to better conditions
will be the joint railroad commission,
provided the various legislatures ajgree
to give it sufficient power.
COMMISSION 2 l
Before firoing into conference. Gov.
Fotbier, of Rhode Island, informally
approved of Gov. Foss", proposition for
a joint transportation ooaro repre
senting All the New England states.
"I believe this to be the best solu
tion of the New England transporta
tion problem yet offered,"- said Gov,
Pothler. "I think It is perfectly feas
ible. Of course, It is all light to speak
against monopoly out tnia can oe car
ried -to' a destructive extent, -
"I believe thoroughly in adequate
regulation of transportation and I
think we must have competition In
rates for this seems to spur the rail
roads to develop good service.". '
Gov. Pothier said he had not gone
sufficiently into the subject of each
state appointing certain directors on
the -directorate of each road running
through its confines to speak for pub
lication, "I do not believe In railroad owned
trolley lines,." he said in discussing
that subject.
Prior to the conference, Gov. Foss
stated that Gov. Baldwin, of Connec
ticut, had approved of his plan for a
joint railroad board.- . .
BUEL OBJECTS.
. TO CRITICISM
Dislikes Notoriety Attend
ing Announcement of
v His Marriage
New. York, Jan. 26 Positive and em
phatic deniel that fee had failed to
withdraw from 'the Jesuit Society pre
vious to his marriage to Miss Cather
ine Grances Powers; daughter of Ed
ward J, Powers, was made today in - a
letter sent -to the United Press by Da
vid Hillhouse Buek one time head of
Georgetown University and noted for
mer Jeeuit-educator, through ir. H.
Rogers, of Cambridge, Mass., a class
mate at Yale.
Buel. In his letter. Insists that he
waa in goody standing and no charges
of any kind had been ipref erred
against him when in July he resigned
from the Jesuit Society by serving
"proper notice to that effect on the
superiors of the society." '
Buel insists In fads letter that the
reasons for his resignation were prop
er and- well known to President Sas
sonv of the Boston College; Judge Mur
ray, M. J Kenedy of Boston, and "the
family the name of whose meTnbers
has been connected With that of the
writer in the daily press."
"The uncalled for and unnecessary
criticism of the writer given to re
porters by the Jesuit Gasson of Bos
ton," continued: - Buel, "and of the
Jesuit Tuarte, vice - president of
Georgetown Universtiy, Is so unusual
a departure from the Jesuit methods
of secrecy and concealment In such
matters as to suggest they have been
prompted by some personal reason."
Buel then cites various cases of men
who, he says, have withdrawn from
the Jesuit Society and either entered
other faiths or took up educational
work and, according to htm, were
never publicly criticised; by the mem
bers of the society.
