 Owing to opposition in Massachusetts to the ownership by this company of the securities of certain street railways in that state, a sale was made on June 25, 1906, of all such securities (except those of the Wooster and Webster and Webster and Dudley Street Railway companies, which are also held under leases approved of by the properly constituted authorities of the state) to a Vountary association known as the New England Investment and Security com pany.
 Promissory notes were given for the payment of a sum equivalent to the cost price of such securities and the as- sociation issued its common and prefer red shares to a banking house in suf- fcient amount under contract of sale to pay said notes as the shares are dis posed of
 Hereafter the interest of the Consol- idated Railway company will be limit ed to the securing of payment of the notes which were given for the secur- jties sold, and to limiting it's liability upon its endorsement up on the prefer red shares of the association. ! An option at call at 1O5 upon said pre- tferred shares was given in considera- tion of the endorsement of the same, and it is believed the association Will withoin a reasonable time develop suf- ficient financial strength to enable such call to be exercised, and such endorse ment to be cancelled.
 The securities were acquired in the hope and opinion that the union of the lines in question into one company through the construction of certain connecting links and feeders which were under consideration would have devel- oped sufficient earning capacity and economy of operation to have made the securities desirable investments.
 It was useless, however, to continue the investment and be the target of att tack and misrepresentation that would l have been the result, and it was thought better to retire without loss than engage even in successful litiga- tion for a profit that at the best was only prospective,
 The New England Navlga tion com- Ipany which holds all the marine prop critics of the road, had net earnings of l $1, ,206,S40. and the net income was $565,- 9Sl.
 The Central New England Railroad company's statement shows that the net earnings were $17O909, and the net income $7,522.
 President Mellen says the reduction of passenger mileage to two cents has stimulated business to such an extent that an increased income, both gross and net, is assured, and reduction in rates upon coal from tidewater points is also bringing gratifying results. A more efficient operation of the property in the past year has resulted in marked reductions in operating expenses, the saving in the cost of freight car service along aggregating $661 061.

NEEDLEssLY CALLED OUT.

Firemen Rushed to Corner of State and
 Court Streets Last Night to be Sent
 Back.
 Some hot-headed person pulled the fire alarm box at the corner of State and Court streets shortly after 10 o'clock last night, needlessly calling out several companies When the firemen arrived on the scene-and they did it in an incredibly short time-it was found that there was no fire to fight and nothing to satisfy the curiosity of the big crowd that had assembled. It was found that hole about as big as a mans hand had been burned in the awning at Sheiffele's market.
 The cry of fire came from the hall above, which is used by Professor Ric- cuio as a dancing hall. Some of the professors students smelled smoke. The hall was cleared in short order, many believing that the store below was on fire. It is thought that the damage to the curtain was done by a lighted cigarette thrown from the wine dow

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Leaders Try to Bring About Adjust
 ment--Hughes or Bruce.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 25.-For several hours after the brief session of the republican state conven ton to-day republican leaders were in close conference canvassing the situa- tion, and endeavoring to reach an agreement or adjust differences before the convention meets tomorrow to complete its business by the nomination of state ticket.
 The governorship was discussed but the position of the different members cannot be accurately stated, save that large proportion of them favored Lieutenant Governor Linn Bruce, and that Congressman Parsons, the New York county leader, was almost alone in his advocacy of Charles F. Hughes. Hendricks is especially anxious to have Bruce nominated, and has the support of many of the upstate leaders, al- though it is understood that a maiori- lty of them would quickly support for Inner Governor Black, if he could be in- duced to run.
 The leaders outside of New York have tried to-day to convince Parsons that Hughes could not be nominated if his name is presented. Parsons replied by saving that a test of strength will not inture any one. and that in Viewof as- surances which he has received he thought Hughes stood a most excellent chance of securing the nomination.
 MT. Woodrud's position is said to he favorable to any arrangements that can be made harmoniously. although 1t was claimed during the day that his delegation was ready to declare for l+ruce. and that when the new state committee was organized Woodruff would be it's chairman. At the same lime there seems to be a very good understanding between Parsons and
 woodruff. Both refused to discuss the situation.
 An indication of the doubt in which tba situation remains is the fact that m sneakers have yet been selected to nIace candidates in nomination. This nav mean that there will be a com Inlefe elimination of those who seem nossibilities now, and the hints of Clark horses may be substantial.

New Formations Being Developed to
 Meet New Rules.
 The practice of the Yale football can didates yesterday partook more of the strenuous than the work of the pre- ceding week. It was the first scrim- mage of the year, and the way the men got into it was very gratifying to say the least. After the warming up prac- tice, the varsity, generalled by Tad Jones, lined up against a scrub team directed by the clever Dimes. There was no scoring, although both teams tried their best. The ball changed sides frequently, which added interest from the spectators point of view. Dimes ran his team in great style and in one case sent a. man through for a long gain. A feature of the new game will be the right formation for end plays.
 A large crowd of students watched the practice with interest. The after moons drill ended in practice in tack ling the dummy.

est day vet at the American legation, where the commissioners have been holding their hearings. There were 1 comparatively few callers, but there was a constant interchange of cable grams with oyster Bay over a direct wire. These communications were a result of the notification from President Palma that he and his associates had determined to resign rather than sub init to the terms suggested, and the fact that they declined to offer any notifications to these terms, The formal draft of the terms, sent to the palace early this morning, was rejected at noon. This action was not expected by Secretary Taft, notwith- standing the fact that it had been threatened by certain of the govern ment officials and it practically caused him to abandon his efforts toward a settlement that would continue the sovereignty of the republic.
 Although intervention appeared to be certain, both Messrs. Taft and Bacon assured the Associated Press to- 
 night thta such a course would not be taken so long as 6 government remains with which they can treat, but in face of the personal communication from President Palma that he is about tc throw over the whole matter, Secretary Taft has no great expectation that the present government will endure fol long.
 President Roosevelt cabled to Presi- dent Palma appealing to the latter's patriotism to accept the terms suggest ed by Messrs. Taft and Bacon as be- ing the only conditions under which calm political conditions could be re- stored.

WILL INCREASE THE FINE
HEALTH OFFICERS ATTEMPT TO BETTER GARBAGE CONDITION

Lowest Fine for Single Sustained Com

 They Could Do Better With Five
 Year Job-Board May Ask Aldermen
 for Necessary Authority.
 The usual number of complaints against the present loose methods of collecting garbage by the collectors were presented at the meeting of the board of health held yesterday after noon. There seems to be little relief in spite of the fact that the summer is nearly over, and the necessity of prompt collection is not 80 pressing as in the hot months. The commissioners have practically decided to increase the amount of fine for each reasonable complaint. The lowest fine heretofore has been one dollar. It will now be five dollars.
 The contractors on their side claim that they are doing the best they can under the circumstances, They say that if the contracts were let for a longer period, say five years, they could afford to make more adequate preparations for handling it. Under the present system of letting the con- tract for one year only, the uncertainty of having the contract for the follow ing year prevents them from building garbage pens for fear that the pens will be of no use to them the following year, and hence only a loss of profits.
 The board of health would be glad to grant the wishes of the contractors, and take any means possible for ben citing the service, but have not the au- thority to let the contract for longer period. They have asked the opinion of Corporation Counsel Dagget. His opin- ion was to the effect that the contract can be let for five years If permission is given by the board of aldermen. It is probable that the board will ask for authority.
 Dr. James s. Maher, a member of the health board. said to a reporter last night that the city must eventually provide a place handy to the center of nH6 CIly WllGIG SdlHdSO Sebll bO ulSpO19- ed of by burning. This system is in vogue in many of the large cities. He also said that in his opinion the five year contract plan would result in bet ter service to the city.
 The board received complaint from citizens residing at the corner of Whit ney avenue and Gamer street. They Sta ta that a nuisance exists at that corner and asked that it be abated by having the bushes and undergrowth near the corner cut off. The complaint was referred to Health Officer Wright, who will take action.
 Dr. Wright submitted to the board the first of a series of maps, which show the part of the city in which typhoid fever Is prevalent. These maps show that the greater number of cases ex- ist in the crowded districts of the city

GOODWIN Il SURPRISE.
Wins Fifty Yard Championship
S5cim at TraUerS Island.

The first Of the outdoor seasons Amateur
Athletic Union swimming championships was
decided yesterday at Travers Island, when V.
de p. Goodwin, of the New York Athletic Club,
won the Metropolitan Association 5O-yard title
from many Of the best swimmers in the district.
The result big surprise, as the wiseacres
had selected t. E. Kitching. jr., the former
champion; c. D. Trubenbach. or the new cham
pion's brother, L. B. Goodwin.
The absence of c. NJ. Daniels, the national
champion, who IS abroad and c. A. Ruberle
robbed the event OF much interest, but the entry
list fairly representative one and at
tracted big crowd to the summer home OF the
New York Athletic Club. All the events on the
programme resulted in easy victories for the
winners. but in nearly every heat the struggle
for second place a keen one.
Only six swimmers entered for the 5O-yard
championship V. de P. GoOdwin's name did
not appear on the programme, and the first
prise came when he lined up for the race He
got away Well at, the crack of the pistol, but
many of the spectators took It as a joke when
he forged TO the front. expecting to see the
favOrites overhaul him almost at will
Goodwin reached the turn about yard ahead
of Trubenbach and began the return journey in
splendid style. He swan with powerful stroke,
and. despite the efforts of Trubenbach and his
brother he gradually increased his lead and
won by over two yards. Trubenbach secured
second place from l. B. Goodwin by about two
feet.
The winner was loudly applauded as he re-
turned TO the bOathouse and afterward admitted
that he was as much urprised as the spectators

ideal for the sport. and large crowd was hand.
two goals. As the men were so evenly matched It
thought that with this allowance the Rock
away team would win. and considerable money
passed the result.
Not until the last period, and in fact, until the
last few minutes OF play, &c an assured thing
who would be the winner. the teams played on
terms and kept tho score I'm such position
that a goal from either side at different parts of
the game would put that team ahead.
The feature of the match some pretty riding
off and many fine back strokes by both sides. For
the Meadow Brook team Collier and Brooks figured
prominently In the scoring. Cary was the main
stay OF the home team. Besides scoring the ma
jority OF the goals he saved the ban from going
through the goal posts many times -,
Meadow Brook made the first goal, but TINS
was followed by two in quick succession by the
home team. Both teams then alteEnated in max
ing goals for the remainder OF the period. IN the
second period the home team scored fiye times,
while Meadow Brook shot only three. This sent
the Rockaway rooters wild. Their hard luck in
the second period seemed TO get on the nerves OF
the Meadow Brook team, and the way they Went
at the BAH In the third period would make the
heart of any devotee Of the sport glad: With wei
directed shots they made all the goals and pre-
vented their opponents from scoring.
The last period opened with Rockaway FEELING
the same way as their opponents had in the former
period. The visitors kept them down to one goal
however while they scored three. No accidents OF
any kind occurred during the game. The lineup
