NEED MERGERS FOR RAILROADS Samuel Rea, President of the Pennsy, Points Out Conditions Washington, Oct. 18.—That govern mental control of railroads in its broadest sense is necessary; that there should be more effective Fed eral valuation of the systems; that all restrictions against railway merg ers xhould be wiped out and the 2,.185 separate railroad corporations might be consolidated into only eighty-five great units anil that systems of ac counting should be simplified, were some of the striking points brought out by Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, in a speech last night. Mr. Rea was addressing the Na tional Association of Railroad Com missioners at their banquet, and his advanced views caused considerable discussion. Mr. Rea said in part: What Knllroitda Are Doing "We are expediting traffic; carry ing more tons to a car and to a train; moving freight cars and en gines more miles per day; eliminat ing unnecessary train service; con solidating passenger trains; secur ing prompter unloading, and in many ways releasing men, trackage and equipment to care for the movement of troops, military supplies, food, fuel and other necessities. We are mak ing priority shipments under man date of the Federal law. By our own agreement we are moving empty cars about the country so as to put them promptly where they are most urgently needed, and are arranging the routing of traffic according to the best physical conditions, and without reference to benefiting individual roads. Other Example* These are but part of the response of the railroads to the needs of the national defense. Other examples of subordination of the competitive ac tivities of individual railroads to the general welfare are supplied by the efforts made in expediting coal'ship ments; in furnishing material for the cantonments: In providing facilities for new shipyards, industries and mines; in handling the movement of more than 700,000 troops to camp and to seaports for transportation abroad and in other ways. "The day is here for the consoli dation and unification of railroad systems. No less than 2,385 separate railroad corporations report' to the Interstate Commerce Commission, and I hazard the guess that at least 2,300 of them could be merged into ?ie bigger systems with vast benefit to the public and every one else con cerned. "There are still, in the Pennsyl vania Railroad System, about 115 ac tive transportation companies, all necessary, as matters now stand, for the conduct of the service. I think we will all agree that this is just 114 too many. "I wish here to say, most unequivo cally, that, in my Judgment, the pool ing of traffic by the railroads is es sential for the public service and should be affirmatively legalized, not only for the period of the war, but for all times. And I desire to add my belief that the restrictions of the Sherman law should not apply to the railroads, and that mergers and com binations intended to increase effi ciency, simplify accounting and elim inate the wastes of competition should not only be countenanced, but encouraged, under public supervision and control." Another Appeal Made For Freight Increases Washington, Oct. 18.—Another appeal for a horizontal increase of fifteen per cent, in freight rates was informally made by the railroads of the country to the Interstate Com merce Commission yesterday. The hearing was requested by the railroads mainly to ascertain what procedure they should follow in ma king a formal application, and it de veloped a willingness on their part to postpone any operation of the in crease for sixty days. The chief argument was made by George S. Patterson-, of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, and other officials of this road were present at the hearing. Hi H New Fall Boots In Sorosis for women.

Goodman's •HO MARKET STREET " \j\ Joseph Vance, who was arrested by Philadelphia detectives in this city on Tuesday morning, charged with the Tarcenv of several Bell Tele phone coin boxes, admitted his guilt in police court yesterday afternoon. Detective exhibited the crew drivers and plyers used by Vance in cutting the wires attached to the boxes, and the young man promptly informed Alderman Landis that he would plead guilty before the Dau phin county court. F. S. Marshall, colored, a druggist at liOas and Cowdon streets was or dered by Fire Chief Kindler to ap pear in police court yesterday as the result of a collision between the car driven by Marshall and the Royal tire truck. On Tuesday evening the car driven by Marshall was struck by the fire truck at Fifteenth and' Walnut streets. This is the testimony of Marshall, supported bv a witness Peter Shickley, driver of the rtre ap paratus: William Bowers, of Brook wood and Melrose streets, and Pa trolman William Dutton. who were on the lire truck, claimed that Marshall was proceeding down the street at thirty miles an hour, and crashed into the flre-fightlng outfit. Because of the conflicting testi mony, Alderman fined Mar shall $5 for exceeding the speed limit. • William Bowers, who was standing on the truck when the accident oc curred. was thrown from the truck and was cut about the face. All parties concerned in the mix up seem dissatisfied with the alder man's decision. Marshall, through his attorney, W. Justin Carter, may appeal from the court's decision. Of ficials of the fire company consider bringing a civil suit for damages. E. P.

Ot\e raid, however, had an opposite effect on one man here who had been blind for four years. He was stricken with terror when the explosion of bombs began and complained of fearful pains in his head. Suddenly something within his skull snapped and he shouted. "Mother, I can see again!"
