THE BOSTON GLOBE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1910. 6 PLAN FAVORED BY THE CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND RAILROAD FOR ELIMINATION OF GRADE CROSSINGS IN SALEM HEARING TONIGHT TRIBUTE TO FOREFATHERS Rev Dr S. M. Crothers Makes Address. Annual Observance by Boston Congregational Club.

Reception and Dinner Precede Speaking. Forefathers' night, an annual event of Importance and Interest with the Boston Congregational club, was observed by that organization last evening in Ford hall. The principal guest and speaker was Rev Dr Samuel M. Crotners of the First Parish church (Unitarian) of Cambridge, whose suDject was 'Tna Seventeenth Century I'uritans. Pres Charles it.

The track conveniences will be such that four trains can enter the station at a time. The Boston Maine has suggested that the plans for the proposed subway include all modern conveniences and has given the city assurance that the motive power for all trains passing through or entering the subway will be electricity, which will remove all possibility of smoke nuisances, now so objectionable in the tunnel. That sufficient room for tracks may be provided north of Bridge st, the railroad company and the city will ask authority of the legislature to take certain flats in North river for the making of new land and at the same time leave a channel 400 feet wide for commerce. At present the railroad company controls all of the south shore of North river from a point near North bridge to a point near March St.

In planning for the elimination of the crossings at Bridge st and North St, the raising of Bridge st from a point near the north terminal of the existing tunnel to a point on North st near the bridge is provided for. The rear yards of the courthouse will be raised, and In order to provide more land area for the near the junction of Summer and Margin sts, and extending along a line under Cromble and Sewell sts with the northern terminal on Bridge st to the trunk line opposite March st. The plan provides that this subway shall be 75 feet wide, 16V4 feet in the clear from trackbed to arch of the subway cover, with an 80-foot boulevard above, extending from Federal st to the southern end of the tunnel. The boulevard, it is claimed, will prove of inestimable value In opening up a large area of waste land in the congested section of the city and make probable the erection of a large number of desirable buildings for trade purposes, as it iB the avowed policy of the board of trade to enlarge the zone of the retail trade section and make this city one of the largest trade centers In the state. That no harm will come from plans to enlarge the trade center by removal of the station to another site is Illustrated by cities like New Haven, Portland, Hartford ana other places where re moval of stations In no way disturbed long-established centers of trade.

The plans provide for a handsome two-story station, 250 feet long and 50 feet wide, with commodious waiting rooms. The proposed site of the new station is 300 feet west of the present station. There will be entrances to the station opposite Northey st, some half-mile south from the railroad bridge tha crosses Danvers river. Several of the outlying routes would prove less expensive than the "Harrl man route," so far as land damages are concerned, yet It has not been made evident that any outlying route would prove of much benefit to this city in the enhancement of real estate, while the inconvenience of a crooked route and a station on Bridge st does not appeal with much favor among any considerable number of citlaens. The demand of Salem people has been to rid the community of grade crossings, which have been a constant menace to life for more than 70 years and a heavy expense to the railroad company.

All trains to and from the east must now pass through the one-track tunnel under Washington st until a larger subway is provided. Stalling of trains at the approaches of the tunnel to convenience other trains has been a constant source of annoyance for years. Upward of 200 trains pass through the tunnel dally and when it is understood that all of this traffic is on a single track it is obvious how frequent must be the congestion of trains at the ends of the subway. That the interests of the city might be safeguarded and conditions such as have resulted at Lynn, Brockton, Attle-boro and other daces not repeated in this city in eliminating grade crossings, the city council decided to employ an engineer to devise some practical plan that would solve the problem and prove of value to the city and to the railroad company. Mr Harriman has cooperated with a committee, of the city council and city engineer Ashton, and they have decided upon a plan which has already been accepted as a whole by the railroad company as the most practical solution of the problem.

This plan was worked out for the Interests of Salem, yet, being acceptable to the railroad, makes it appeal more for approval by the public. The distance covered by the proposed new route Is about 10,000 feet, of which some "000 feet will be over land at present under the control of the railroad. The plan provides for four tracks to connect with the proposed four-track system from Boston to Beverly. The new line will diverge from the existing trunk line just south of the Broadway bridge, with no increase in curvature at Castle hill, thence over the freight yards of the railroad on territory known as the Millpond reservation to the entrance of a subway beginning SALEM. Dec 19 As a sequel of nine distinct studies for the elimination of grade-crossings in this city, George W.

R. Harriman and his engineers have devised a plan which, it Is said, will safeguard not only the business of Salem, but prove of inestimable value to the railroad company, and of great benefit to the public. In working out the plan the Interests of the traveling public had1 to be carefully considered, as it Is necessary to provide not only frequent, but more rapid transit between Salem and Bos-ton, and also between Boston and all places east of Salem. Other plans than those worked out by Mr Harriman have been suggested, the more notable being depression of tracks in the existing subway under Washington st and detoured routes beginning at Thompson's meadow, near the Swampscott and Salem boundary line, through the great pastures, so-called, under Highland av, across Boston st to a point on the line of the Lawrence and Lowell branches, thence to a point on the main line, near or The estimated expense of the subway and building of tracks from the commencement of the new route to the othftr TiH nnnnsitp Marph at. includlnc i 1 1 rr months of consideration it is urged that care should be taken not to adopt any visionary solution of a problem that will endanger the welfare of Salem or handicap the railroad company in its purpose of running express trains from Salem to Boston in 20 minutes.

Of the expense of eliminating grade crossings under the law, the city mill nanAaA -1A Vl will cujocaocu xv cnii ciolc 25 percent and the railroad company 66 percent. Very few citizens favor the depression of tracks in the existing tunnel, provided sufficient width could be secured for the four tracks demanded by the railroad company, as it would deprive all of the principal industries of the city of conveniences afforded by sidings. ui tne iour iracits mat win be in commission the middle tracks between Salem and Boston will be exclusively for express trains, thus making the running time between Boston and the North shore or from Boston to New-buryport.

0. Ives Says Boston's Northern Terminals Are Obsolecent. josepn viau, ureu Kendall and William Uusiaison Jr. Ur Crotueis said that people of today are apt to tnink of the Puritans of the lith century as peculiar, but he cautioned them to remember that during that period the English race, both in old England and New England, was one. Furthermore, in the lith century characteristics were developed that had their effect of history.

Formerly this section of the United States was the most Protestant part of America Today, he said, it Is the least Protestant, and is, in fact, a solid Catholic center. It is not the part of Protestants, he continued, to object to that which is part of a natural development of history. While a wide division In Protestantism exists today, went on Dr Crothers. there is a tendency to work together in the name of federation. In the 16th and 17th century, however, he continued, the differences were vital and the different types of thought marked the beginning of Congregationalism.

Baptists, the society of Friends and other bodies. The chief interest of strong men then was religion religion mixed with politics. Incredible as it might seem the differences between Protestant churches were causes of war. "But." said Dr Crothers, "the cause of most quarrels is human nature." Today the original differences among Protestants have been forgotten, he averred. In discussing the Puritans Dr Crothers declared "the Puritans had an extremely irritating way of telling the truth." He told of one Puritan writer who had referred to Queen Elizabeth as "an untamed heifer." and while this was not a bad comparison it quite naturally displeased the queen when she heard of it.

Politics were preached In the English churches so strDngly at one time that the government had all places of worship closed for a month and ordered no moi? original sermons. When John Knox, in a conference with Queen Mary Stuart, said some painful truths that made her majesty unhappy in the extreme, John told her. "I can sustain your majesty's weeping better than to hurt my own John Milton, in assailing some one with whom ho differed, used billingsgate, said Dr Crothers, of which the most rabid and bitter writer today would never think. Another dignitary having been reminded that certain people with whom he differed were "pillars of the church," rer'led. "Yes, caterpillars." "When you ask why it was those deeply religious people couldn't get along together," Dr Crothers went on.

"I can only remind you 'we are all miserable To Be Succeeded by Dr Charles G. Dewey, His Assistant. Contlnned From the First Page. Mr Keenan then started to ask If Mr Foss had said in a previous speech that Senator Lodge assisted in promoting some company. Excitement reigned and finally Mr Foss said he had been asked a similar question, evidently prepared by Norman White, and did not answer.

Keenan kept on his feet and repeatedly asked for an answer, while the governor-elect proceeded with his speech amid calls and scenes of disorder. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Foss, led by chairman James E. Odlln, and a few counter cheers for Lodge. In the audience were many promtnent republicans and democrats. Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain Strikers Accept Terms Offered on May 1.

ST LOUIS, Dec 19 The striking machinists, blacksmiths, boiler makers and sheet metal workers of the Missouri Paciflp-Iron Mountain system will return to work Wednesday morning. The settlement was agreed upon between the officials of the company and representatives of the striking employes tonight. The men go back to work on the terms offered May 1, which they rejected. That proposition includes a three cents an hour increase. republican vote was 24,930, giving a clear plurality of 3347 against Senator Lodge.

An Issue of Principles. "Under these conditions it should be clear that this campaign against Senator Lodge Is an Issue of principles, not of personality an issue so grave that it transcends every, consideration of personality or partisanship. It Isn't a question of whether a democrat or a republican shall fill this vacancy. It purely a question as to whether the man shall measure up to the requirements of the times and the needs of the people. "I have suggested the names of several progressive republicans, either of whom would ably represent this commonwealth In the senate.

There is no lack of material in either the republican or democratic party. "I do not conceive that It is either my duty or my right to name Senator Lodge's successor, but only to give full publicity to the real verdict of the people, a verdict which has been so largely concealed from the people themselves by the gerrymandered condition of our legislative districts. Massachusetts at the last election started political housecleaning, and she purposes to keep it up until the job la done. All the old furnishings which were so dear to Mr Lodge's heart have been thrown out of the window, and there is no place for him. For thl3 house belongs to the people and it is now being refurnished for them.

"The old order of things for which he has stood Is passing and in the new order of things which Is here, and of which he has not true conception, he has no place. Dr George F.

Hattie and her father and sister are due to arrive at their home in West Arichat tomorrow. There her mother is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the party, not having seen Hattie since she came here two years ago last September. "I am also very anxious to see my mother, and I intend to remain at home," Hattie told a Globe reporter a few hours after she had been acquitted by the jury at East Cambridge.

A family reunion will be held at the Ie Blanc home In West Arichat on Christmas day, and it is understood that fnany of Hattle's friends in that town plan to give her a genuine welcome home within a few days.

He was born in Winchendon, was educated in the public schools and completed his studies in Europe. He had been one of Winchen-don's most noted characters for many years. His hair was more than two feet long, and his snow-white beard of nearly the same length gave him a most venerable appearance. Mr Raymond was a noted musician, and was leader of the North Congregational church choir for 26 years.

He had also sung In the largest cities In New England. He worked as a machine pattern maker for several years and traveled much abroad.

They were men who unfortunately differed in passing controversy but were really one at heart." Taking up the other side, Dr Crothers pointed out the great courage that dominated the religious leaders of the 17th century, how they had labored for an ideal and did so much for the generations to follow.

He concluded by reading from John Bunyan and John Milton, and quoted their sentiments in the matter of religious thought and practices. Rev George H.

Mr Ives said: "Assuming the existence of necessary transportation lines there are three elements of Importance to the shipper; rates that traffic can Iioperly bear; regular and safe service and fast time. I regard the last as the least essential. Charging iwhat the traffic will properly bear does not mean extorting the last cent out of a man caught at a disadvantage. It means adjustment of rates between aifferent commodities so that the cheap articles and necessaries may be carried at the lowest rates possible, while articles of luxury or high value should bear that greater proportion of I he burden which their value enables them to bear. "Very few of our shippers appreciate the cost to them of the Ill-arrangement or obsolescence of our northern freight terminals and of our wharf facilities in Boston and Charlestown.

"The one element lacking Is the driving force of intelligent and well-directed public sentiment. The establishment of steamship lines to the gulf and the Pacific coast are the crying transportation needs of today. You can build up a sentiment that will accomplish their establishment and make them a success." Pres Hamilton said: "Transportation can achieve immense things for the city beautiful. The slum problem is the great problem, for in the congested districts, with their political errors, we find that Which menaces the health of the whole community. The slum Is the breeding ground of disease, and every car from the crowded North End carries effluvia which threatens every home in the city.

"Transportation can do more to settle the slum problem than the social settlement, the policeman, the public school or the mission worker. We should open the suburbs to the people. Let us have worklngmen's trains In the rush hours, with a two-cent or three-cent fare. If the people go into the suburbs the problem is solved, for the great growth of traffic will make cheaper fares possible." Rev Mr Anderson, chaplain of the Advertising men league of St Louis, spoke of historical New England. He urged the choice of a policy which shall be realized by small committees.

PITTSBURG, Dec 19 That StacK w.i.h of the nrettiest little mani Scene of Lodge's First Address. The meeting was held within a stone's throw of the place in which Senator Lodge was first nominated for representative to the Massachusetts general court and In the same hall in which he had been nominated for congress. It was also In this same hall that the senator made his first public address In the '70s, when he lectured on early New England customs for the benefit of the Woodend republican club. This was before Mr Lodge entered politics. From the same platform on which the speakers stood tonight Senator jL.odgc has repeatedly addressed the republicans of this city.

About 800 were present, including a few women. Charles P. Murray, a local labor leader, called the meeting to order after a band had dispensed music and Ex-Representative Odlln acted as presiding officer. Both said they were progressive republicans and had never taken part In democratic meetings. On the platform, besides the speakers, were Representatives-elect Cotter, Ho Forrlstall and Bogue of this city, democrats, and in the audience sat republican Representative-elect Cogswell.

Cook, Nason and Solis. Sherwln L. Cook of Boston was the first speaker. He called upon the people to exert their influence with the members of the next legislature to defeat Lodge as he was not a representative of the people. The attitude of Lodge, he said, had been repudiated by the state.

Senator Arthur L. Nason of HaverhUl said he was a progressive republican and believed that next month the opposition to Lodge would unite on some nan who would be elected by the Massachusetts legislature. He had been fought by the machine, he said, because he favored laws for the people and was now fighting Lodge and the machine. Andrew J. Soils, a woolen manufacturer, said the people had been humbugged by the tariff bill and Lodge had given no satisfaction when asked for an explanation.

Asa R. Mlnard, secretary of the progressive republican league, said Lodge did not represent the people of the state. Letters had been sent to the senator and to Butler Ames an-I while the latter had answered quickly the former first wanted to know what the league was and of whom composed. Criticises Lodge Cheerer. Every official should answer questions from the humblest citizen, said Mr Minard.

and then he severely criticised a man in the audience who had called for cheers for Lodge. B. Wlllcutt of Bostbn told what he said' was inside history of the republican state committee, and said the members would sacrifice everything and everybody to assist Lodge. "We have known that for 10 years." a voice called out. and there were calls of nut him out; order." PEx-Mayor Dickinson of Cambridge said he was against Lodge because the Utter was for the great interests and alralnBt the people, and he would be afa nst anybody who took that stand.

"Let us see for what he stands and why he has no place In this new and progressive movement. "Senator Lodge stands opposed to the direct primary.

He Is opposed to the selection by the people of their own public servants. He is opposed to the popular nomination of senators. "He is opposed to the abolition of the caucus and the nominating convention, which are the vital Instruments of the lobby. He Is opposed to the referendum, the best known means of controlling legislation. He is opposed to the Initiative, by which alone the people can directly enact desired legislation.

"He is opposed to the recall, by which the people can immediately displace an unworthy public servant. In these days of special privilege these policies are the strongest safeguards of our free Institutions, and he is opposed to thern all. He defeated the public opinion bill, which was before the legislature in 1907, which in a very restricted and conservative manner aimed to give the people the right to shape public policy. "He has opposed all progressive legislation, and thus is responsible for our having fallen behind other states such as Oregon in the march of popular government. By holding Massachusetts back politically he has done the state Irreparable wrong on Industrial lines.

Not in Sympathy With Labor. "He is opposed to free raw materials for our industries; he is opposed to a fair reduction of the duties on manufactured products; he has opposed the removal of the burdensome taxes from the mass of the people. He has opposed all direct taxation by which the wealth of the country shall pay Its fair share of the expenses of government. "He is not in touch with the mass of our people who are struggling in our Industries under these adverse conditions. He has never learned In the school of experience what the average man has to meet in his struggle tor a living.

"He has never been in sympathy with labor. In all his 25 years at Washington he has never fathered any legislation In the interest of the people. On the contrary, he has been the representative of the privileged Interests. He has been known as such the representatives of these interests nave always kept him in power, and they are his only support today. Every vote for 8enator Lodge Is a vote for predatory wealth and for monopolistic greed.

She came in a touring car, accompanied by her counsel, Melvin M. Johnson and Mrs Johnson, a chauffeur driving. Mr Johnson had telephoned her people here from Boston that she was coming down over the road. The word was quickly passed to her relatives and as there Is a large delegation here from the village of Arichat, there was quite a delegation awaiting her arrival at the residence of her half-sister, Mrs William White, 106 Pleasant st. As the car drove up and came to a halt, Hattie was assisted out by Mr Johnson and the crowd broke itno a loud cheer.

Hattia's only response was a smile. She wa8 quickly surrounded by her relatives. There was no allusion in anv way to the trial. Instead, the topic was of the old home and the home-coming of Hattie and the reception the villagers would accord her. Her father, Abram Le Blanc, has been here since yesterday awaiting the coming of Hattie.

and there were present besides her sisters, Irene Le Blanc Langley and Lillian Le Blanc and four half sisters, Mrs William White, Mrs Joseph Sampson, Mrs Thomas Davis and Mrs James McKay.
