President-Elect Roosevelt today prepared a reply to President Hoover's Invitation to a White House conference on the war debt situation.

It was believed by those close to the New York Governor that he would accept the invitation and suggest the conference be held on Monday or Tuesday of next week. Mr Roosevelt's reply, the Gover nor's secretary stated, would not be completed until late this afternoon. It will be released to morning newspapers Mr Roosevelt, recovering from a slight cold which confined him to his room since last Friday, expects to resume, his engagements tomorrow. All of his appointments for today as well as since last Friday were canceled. The announcement of the receipt of Mr Hoover's invitation to Mr Roosevelt to discusse the latest notes from England and France on reopening the debt question was made informally, accompanied by the explanation that the President-elect would make public the text of his reply this afternoon, for' publication in morning papers of tomorrow.

This course was assumed to have been taken by Mr Roosevelt to allow preparation of the text and also to allow ample time for the reply to be in the hands of Mr Hoover before it was made public at Albany. Mr Roosevelt, when he began his work in the seclusion of his room today, had not seen the texts of the notes from the French and British Governments which Mr Hoover in Pat. Off.

Carrozza appeared at the police station this morning, and said that he had found his missing birds In a yard on White st, about a half-mile from his home. He said they had been stolen during the night of Nov 7. The officers accompanied Carrozza to the place.

The boy loudly protested that the birds were his property, and presented what appeared to be a perfect abili. Carrozza approached the coop, and the birds flew about in wild excitement.IHe went into the pen and a half dozen of them alighted on hie shoulder. Officers went into a huddle, and came back with the suggestion that one of the be freed to see it would co. The bov and Car rozza promptly agreed. The pigeon was released.

Then the suspected boy, Carrozza and the officers hurried off to Car-rozza's pigeon coop. Sure enough, perched in the yard was the released bird. He had been marked so that he could be identified. The other 10 were freed shortly afterward, and they, too, flew back to the Carrozza coop. The boy was unable to give a satisfactory explanation of the birds' ac-rrwii.

Police of Station 3 guarded the The directors of the Boston Elevated railway re jected the proposed Hunt-mgton-av Subway project at a special meeting held this forenoon, with Bernard J.

Rothwell, chairman of the board, presiding. The director voted unanimously against "an act authorizing the city of Boston to construct the Kuntington-av Subway." The act. which involves the expenditure of $8,500,000, was passed by the 1932 Legislature and was accepted by the Boston City Council and signed by Slayer Curley several weeks ago. The act has since been pending with the directors of the road, representing the ttockbolders. The subway was to be built by tbe-Boston Transit Commission, and it was said some time ago that the construction would take three years and furnish work for 3000 unemployed.

It was long understood that the directors of the railway looked upon the project with disfavor, because of the present financial condition of the Boston Elevated Railway. The acceptance of the act now moves along to the public trustees of the Elevated. Statement By Rothwell Bernard J. Rothwell, chairman of the board of directors, but speaking only for himself, made the following statement: "The Huntington-av Subway act. Chapter 306 of the Acta of 1932, is not subject to any modification as to route; it had to be accepted as it stands or not at all.

and the lease executed prior to start -of construction. "There Is no certainty that the Legislature of 1933 would consent to any modification of this act. The Legislature of 1932 considered and rejected a plan substantially similar to the "modified plan" that has been proposed. "The estimated cost of the subway specified In the act was $8,500,000. The t.

however, provides that this mount may be increased by any sum which may be a pre id upon by the department and the company for the purposes of this act. the Boston Transit Commission and the public trustee. "These latter now estimate the cost 9 .000,000. "The rental specified In the act 4 percent of the cost of constructiontogether with additional cost tperation over present cost, would rr.ount to over $400,000 per annum, qua I to 4.000.000 additional 10-cent fares; or an Increase of about 37.8 percent in the number of passengers now riding on Huntington-av lines. "There is no presumption that the number of passengers on Huntington-av lines would be materially Increased by the construction of this subway.

Dowd in Municipal Court today cn charges of larceny of $600 from Fd-mund H. Noyes in the Prince George Hotel, New York, and $325 from Carlisle O. Byrd of New York at the Hotel Manger in Boston.

Code was able to secure bonds. As a result of Code's story to Byrd about the drowning of Col Robins off Montauk Point by a Hoboken rumrunner after a kidnaping by a New York gang, Sergt James V. Crowley of the Boston police went to the few England headquarters of the Federal Prohibition Department and told the story to special agent Robert Coyne, who was -in charge of the Robins search in New England.

A New York judge, a Mearora college professor, a Vermont banker and Boston bond salesman are said to be among those victimized, although but two incidents were brought Before tne court. Carlisle O. Byrd was told by Code that he was in on a scheme by which a shipment of gold supposedly off the coast of Nova Scotia could be salvaged. One Of the men in on the plan, according to Code, had a large legacy coming to him from his father, who died in a Boston hospital, leaving him a sum of money In a bank in These funds were supposed to be tied, up so RALPH CODE Defendant in swindle cases, who told alleged victim that Col Raymond Robins had been murdered. that Code's friend was willing to let a few friends In on his salvage plan if they would contribute some money to his scheme instead of waiting for the legacy.

Byrd checked every detail of the story, which he allowed Code and his friends to think he was going, in on it, and Saturday Code and Byrd went to the Holy Cross-Harvard game, trailed by detectives, in accordance with Byrd's information to police. At the Hotel Manger the police stepped in and arrested Code after, it is alleged, he got $325 from Byrd.

Walsh, Roxbury, Congratulates Governor and Wishes Him Good Luck PROVIDENCE, Nov 14-Suggesting how the New England railroads might save 1200,000,000 and asserting that the "four-party plan" must be extended to include the New England railroads, the Rhode Island Commission on Foreign and Domestic Commerce has filed a statement with the National Transportation Committee, of which Calvin Coolidge is chairman, for serious consideration. Two remedies are suggested at the outset, one being that the 2000 miles of obsolescent branch or feeder lines, one-quarter of the total mileage, now of little if any value to the railroads, must, if possible, be transformed into paying property by transforming them into a new use. It is suggested these lines form the shortest routes between important traffic centers and have low grades and well settled roadbeds.

Most factories and large shippers and receivers of freight are located on or near these lines and naturally these roadbeds would make ideal rights of way and splendid arterial highways for truck traffic. It is suggested the railroads might abandon these branch lines for railway purposes and transform them into hard-surfaced roads for trucks. The railways could be given exclusive use of these highways and could be given the privilege of charging toll to other trucking companies' operating trucks. In case the railroads did not wish to use these highways thus, they might sell them to the States and by a proper system of tolls the original cost could be paid off over a term of years. xne idea of tne loss to the States in taxes from the railroads by the aban-4 donment or such lines is disposed of in the statement that it is poor noliti- cal economy to try to collect continu ous taxes from obsolescent property.

Cost of Modern Highways It is also pointed out that the cost to the several New England States for construction of modern highways suitable to carry loads of heavy-duty trucks averages upward of 865,000 a mile, not including cost of. right of way. The capital outlay, it is pointed out, would approximate SIOO.OOO a mile.

As congratulatory letters continued to arrive at the office of Gov Ely today upon his last week, several bore testimony of the appeal of the Governor's voice over the radio. One of these was from a 75-yer-old blind woman who declared she voted for Gov Ely on the strength of h's radio voice alone, adding "I depend entirely on voice and never fail to know good people accordingly." Another letter was from a natient in the Chelsea Hospltal.who complimented Gov Ely on his radio talks, saying, "In the midst of the uproar, your kindly talks fell as the peace of evening falls over our fieldj and hills." He also thanked the Governor for "giving us the first few minutes of muslo we had had for hours," in his broadcasts Sunday and Monday nights before election. Mrs Annie J.
