Complaints Against Railroad.

NEW YORK, May 23.- Enjoying a monopoly so absolute it disregards the complaints of it's patrons and the in terests of the great district it serves, the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company, according to the opinion of John w. Griggs, former United States attorney general, might well be considered as infringing the same law that was violated by the Northern Securities company, dissolv- ed by order of the supreme court of the United States. From many cities in New England have come protests against the mail and transportation facilities afforded by this railroad. which has no competitor to force it into a consideration of private citizens rights.

Morgan. Relative Murdered.

VINELAND, N. J., May 23 That Alfred Morgan, an aged recluse and a relative of J. F;;eTPont Morgan, was murdered early yesterday morning and the little frame house in which he liv- ed set afre in order to hide the crime is the belief of the Vineland police. His death makes mystery such as Vineland has never had before. A large jackknife, it's long, heavy blade spotted with blood, and one of Mor- gan's shirts, also stained with blood, were found after the fire By some strange freak these telltale articles escaped the flames which completely destroyed the house and burned Nor gan to death. It Is doubtful if it can be established from an examination of the body that the old man died from knife wound or whether he was rendered unconscious by a blow and lay helplessr as the flames consumed his body.

RECALL OF NISARD
French Ambassador at Vati-
 can Has Left Rome.
REPORTED POPE'S CRITICISM TOPARIS
President Loubet's Visit to the Eter- nal City Brought Issue to a Crisis, and a Protest Was Sent From
 the Holy See.


 PARIS, May 23.-The recall of M. Nisard, French ambassador to the Vat. ican, continues to be the absorbing topic. The ambassador arrived here this morning and has conferred with Foreign Minister Delcasse and gone over the details of the rupture be- tween France and the Vatican prelim- mary to the meeting of the council of ministers tomorrow, when further line of action will be determined upon.
 Contrary to general expectation. Mgr. Lorenzelli, the papal nuncio at Paris, will not leave his post. The nun ciature has given out the following statement:
 Up to the present the nuncio has re ceived no orders to take his leave, al though the state of his health might make it desirable. As Rome has no taste for replying to provocations, but is solely conscious of her rights and duties, Mgr. Lorenzelli does not regard the eventuality of his leave as proxi- mate''
 Vatican official circles lay great stress upon the fact that the pope alone directs the policy of the holy see. When Cardinals Vannutelli, Got t1, Agriardi and yivec Tuto saw the pope his holiness foreshadowed the first stage of the conf1ict-namely the recall of Ambassador Nisard, but he declared so energetically that he was, responsible to God alone for his ac- tions and was acting thus for the 4~4.A Al.- 4Y- cardinals did not dare to remonstrate.
 Events appear to have been gradual ly tending toward a rupture between France and the Vatican since Plus x. was elected pope. The first evidence of friction was the withdrawal from Par is of Papal Nuncio Lorenzelli during King Victor Emmanuers visit to the French capital. Later the pope in an allocution to the cardinals severely scensured the French governments treatment of the religious orders. M. Nisard promptly reported the pope's criticisms and received instructions to submit a protest. President Loubet's visit to Rome brought the issue to crisis, the pope sending protest to France and all other countries sustain ing official relations with the Vatican. It is the latter protest to the powers which was the immediate cause of the French ambassadors recall.
 The ministry of the interior has au- thorized denial of the statement that M. de Navenne, first secretary of the French embassy to the Vatican, will act as charge daffaires at the embassy, stating that the government considers that his selection would attenuate the importance of the action taken in the recall of Ambassador Nisard.

BOSTON TROLLEY SMASH.
Head-on Collision Tn the ROsIyndaIe
 Section-Nine Injured.

Sect1On-N1n0 Injured.
 BOSTON, May g. Nine persons were seriously injured in a head-on collision between electric cars of the Boston Elevated railway in the Roslyn- dale section of this city yesterday aft ernoon. It is believed that none of the injuries are fatal.
 The accident occurred near the juno tion of Washington and Ashland streets and was due, it is claimed, to some one having tempered with and left open an emergency switch which had been constructed to facilitate re- pairs on the road. An inward bound Walpole car ran into the open switch and crashed into an outward bound Dedham car, which was approaching on the opposite track. The Dedham car was moving slowly, but the de- railed car was running at high speed, and the two came together with sufficient force to wreck both and throw many of the 100 passengers carried from their seats.
 Following the collision fuse on one of the cars blew out, causing flames and smoke which enveloped the wreck ed cars. Many women fainted, nine persons were seriously injured, and 8 score received slight cuts and bruises.
