STOCK IN SUBSIDIARY cos.
Guild Gives Out Correspondence Re-
 gaFdIng New Haven Road.

Boston, July 16.- Governor Guild made public to-day correspondence which passed between him and the railroad commissioners relative to the question of the holding of stock in sub- sidiary corporations by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Chairman James F. Jackson of the rail road commission wrote the governor that there could be no question but that steps should now be taken to test the validity of the action of the New Haven road in acquiring control of stocks of Massachusetts street railways. He stated also that the board was ready to aid in the prosecution of such proceedings as should be deemed appro- priate by the attorney general. The governor has transmitted copy of Chairman Jackson's letter to Attorney General Dana Malone. who now has the matter under consideration.
 The Massachusetts law prohibits do- mestic railroads from purchasing do- nestle railway property. At the last session of the legislature Governor Guild urged a statute which would ex- tend the prohibition to foreign railroads such as the New Haven road, but the suggested statute was not enacted. The question of whether the present laws prevent control of Massachusetts rail- ways by foreign companies is the basis of the recent correspondence, the gov ernor having asked the railroad com missioners to make an inquiry.

 Bitterness Over Importation of Men
 Cars Stoned.
 New Bedford, Mass, July 26.-By a unanimous vote the striking street railway men decided tonight to reject the concession offered by the Union Street Railway company, through it's president, Henry H. Crapo, thereby postponing indefinitely a settlement of differences existing between the com- pany and its employees. The proposi- tion of President Crapo was to take back all the strikers who applied for their positions before 4:S0 o'clock to- morrow afternoon. The men would re- ceive an advance in wages, but no such advance as they had demanded. The 4lACll nave dShSu lOL et 1lAl NoSS oN14S of twenty-five cents an hour. Up to the time of the strike most of them re- ceived less than that figure, but were given twenty-five cents an hour after eleven years of service with the com pany. Two days ago President Crapo announced new wage scale, in which the twenty-five cent rate is paid after five years service with the company.
 Cars were run until o'clock tonight, three hours later than on any previous day since the strike began. An at tempt will be made tomorrow to run a full service, provided the police are abue to guarantee protection to the passengers
 Three cars were stoned tonight. Three passengers were injured by the missiles and many windows were smashed.
 The state board of arbitration and conciliation visited the city to-day in an unsuccessful endeavor to bring about a settlement.'
 The action of the company in iin- porting about 100 strike breakers from New York and Boston has caused great bitterness among the strikers, as well as among the thousands of cotton mill operatives in the city, all of whom are strong in their support of organ ized labor.

MISS GO0DELL'S BODY FOUND
YOUNG WOMAN,S REMAINS DIS- COVERED BY HER FATHER,
Taken From the Pond Which Had Been so Many Times FruitIessIy Searched Belief That Death Was Purely Acci- dentaI-GirI Disappeared July G. Probably Fell over Side of Boat.


 Probably Fell over Side of Boat.
 Belchertown, Mass, July 26. - The body of Miss Winzola M. Goodell, who disappeared from her home on July s and for whom search has been made continuously since, was found to-day by the young woman's father in the pond which had been dragged so many times fruitlessly. A superficial exam ination of the body indicated that the girl was accidentally drowned, but it will remain for the inquest which will be held tomorrow to settle fully the question whether the young woman was the victim of an accident or of foul play
 Tonight the girls father, Wesley M. Goodell, State Detective Hodges and other officers who have been investigat- ing the mystery of the girls disappear ance, believe that her death was pure ly accidental and this opinion seems to be confirmed by the finding of hand kerchief tightly clutched in the dead girls right hand, Shortly after the re- port of the disappearance of Miss Goodell was first given out, railroad brakeman, William Bailey, said that on the afternoon of July 6, the day of the girls departure from her home to go rowing on the pond, his train passed the pond about 4:40 and he saw a girl standing in a boat and waving a hand kerchief at the train. This circum- stance, with the finding of the hand kerchief in the dead girls hand, is con- sidered as clearly pointing to accident al drowning. It is supposed that the girl fell over the side of the boat while standing and that the boat afterward righted itself, not having taken in wa ter and drifted to the point where 1t was found later.
