7 Mmm AGREED UPON nore Paper Declares Ex utives Will Complete Plans At Conference Friday BALTIMORE, March 13 (IP) The Baltimore Sun tomorrow will say in a copyrighted article by J. F. Essary, Washington correspondent, under a Philadelphia dateline, that executives of the eastern railways have found. four party scheme of consolidation in their territory and will consider it at what may be a conclusive conference to be held Friday in New York. These facts became Known, the article will say, upon indisputable authority today, when also became known that the major demands of the Pennsylvania railroad in the allocation of the smaller lines have been met, and this company now is ready to join in extinguishing the proposed Loree fifth trunk line and is ready to approve the compromise.

Depends On Loree The success of this new den! in the eastern transportation territory, the article will state, so far as the railroads are concerned, depends only on the abandonment by L. F. Ixiree, president of the Delaware Hudson, of his project for a fifth trunk line from New York westward. Executives of the Pennsylvania, Baltimore Ohio, New York Central and the Nickel Plate, upon whose properties the new systems would be built, the article will state further, are convinced that Loree is tiow willing, in the interest of peace ami progress, to forego his scheme and to cooperate in developing a four party plan which may be acceptable to tho government. How Roads Are Shared The compromise comprehends the following allocations, the article will say, as now agreed upon by all interests, save Loree: 1 The Norfolk "Western goes outright to the Pennsylvania and the Virginia railway is to be divided between tho Norfolk "Western and the Chesapeake Ohio.

2 The I high Valley is to pass to control of the Pennsylvania and the Nickel Plate, thereby giving each a New York Buffalo short line and relieving the present main line of the Pennsylvania between Harris Vurg and Trenton of much of its congestion. i 3 The Pennsylvania Is awarded a snort line between Chicago and St. Louis, cither tiio Chicago Eastern Illinois or tho Chicago Alton. Also tlie Pennsylvania is conceded either trackage rights along Lake Erie or tii privilege of paralleling the New York Central. Reading To B.

O. 4 Tho Baltimore Ohio is given the Western Maryland outfight, the Heading and New Jersey Central, although the Pennsylvania may be given some trackage rights over a part of tho Reading, lights yet to be negotiated. 5 The Wabash goes to the Baltimore Ohio, including trackage rights over the Canadian National, between Detroit and Buffalo, but that part of the Wabash between St. Louis and Kansas City may be allocated to some western line. 6 The Buffalo, Rochester Pittsburgh Is to be divided between the Baltimore Ohio and the New York Central, the Baltimore Ohio gaining that part between Pittsburgh and Buffalo, which is particularly useful to it on south bound traffic.

7 The Delaware Hudson, the parent Loree would become a "bridge" line to be used by all of the pastern systems and reaching New England. territory. 8 The Lackawanna will probably go to the New York Central on the final showdown.

George Hilvard Benjamin, eminent scientist, criminologist and head of the sooially prominent Benjamin family, carried the feud with him into the grave. So bitter was the feeling between him and his estranged second wife, the former Grace Tremalne whose entrance into the family more than a quarter century ago caused the breach that he called his three emi dren to his deathbed and there dis tribtited his $2,000,000 fortune so she could not benefit by his demise.

CODDLING MANIA I Police Believe Youth Burned Himself with Acid Only To Cain Sympathy DENVER, March 13 A orav inqr for sympathy and attention is believed to have led Melvin Smith, 21, to inflict the acid burns which kept him in a. hospital here more than two years.

Smith, who is under police guard, Is to be taken to the Colorado Psychopathic hospital for observation while authorities determine what shall be done with him. Unwilling to accept the theory that Smith tortured himself merely to collect his $7.50 weekly insurance, officials probed about for other reasons. A study of his record turned up the "sympathy" complex. Kept Quiet for Nure Three years ago Smith was treated at a hospital after his bicycle had been struck by an automobile. Although not badly hurt, be stayed in the hospital 10 days.

During the time the youth apparently suffered considerable pain, but his moanings were stopped when a kindly nurse spoke soothingly to him and gave, him a hypodermic injection, usually consisting only of water. Physicians had difficulty in persuading him, he was well enough to leave the hospital. While working for th Mine and Smelter Supply company Smith suffered a slight burn. He was sent to the hospital, and seemed glad to get there. The burn would heal, but just as the patient was to be discharged it would break out again.

Physicians Puzzled The, best physicians of the city were puzzled. Meanwhile Smith seemed in good spirits, but hospital attenda nts said he demanded constant attention and sympathy. Then an insurance company detective reported he had discovered Smith with a bottle of sulphuric acid burning his arm purposely. Charges of obtaining money under false pretences were filed. "He's the sympathy kid," said Deputy District Attorney Newman.

"He couldn't stand belmj without someone to make a fuss over him."
