WON'T HALT WORK.
New Haven Railroad Will Be Conse1
yatiye in Future Construction.

NEW HAVEN, March 25.-Timothy E.
Byrnes. first vice president of the New
Haven road, in the absence of President
Mellen, said last night that the report of an
extensive curtailment in construction work
by the New Haven road was a misconcep-
ton of the policy Of the road.
mo work actually under way will be
stopped" he said, ''and only conservative
attitude will be assumed on account of the
uncertain financial situation. The report
that the public utilities bill affects the New
Haven road is not so. and Furthermore the
legislative situation lis favorable for COM
pany All work now in progress will be car
red through to completion, but we are not
going ahead with projected expenditures I'M
til the business situation of the country
warrants it,
Mr. Byrnes was asked what work near
New York city now under way might be
curtailed and he answered.: None what
ever. The clectritcation of the Woodlawn-
Stamford section of our line will be COM
pleted. The Danbury- Greenwich cutoff is
simply held up because the people there
cannot decide among themselves where they
will let us put our tracks This Is in no
way affected by any legislative action"
In reply to further questions concerning
the other large improvements now being
carried to completion by the New Haven
road Vice President Byrnes said:
I'VE are going ahead with the double
tracking of the Highland division, slowly,
II is true as BELTS all railroads, owing to
the uncertain conditions in the financial
world but nevertheless surely. The work
in and about New Haven will be completed
as planned" Mr.. Byrnes denied all knowl-
edge of any contemplated holdup in this
work or in fact In any other Of Importance.
What effect does the public utilities bill
have upon the New Haven road?' was
asked.
"Only an insignificant interest is attached
to it," was the reply. Our Danbury-
Greenwich line cuts into New York state
for only the distance of a few miles, and We
anticipate no Ill effects from that source"
Speaking of the financial situation, Mr..
Byrnes said that all business interests are
adopting conservative attitude for the
reason that the uncertainty of the future
makes all financiers cautious. However,
he said, the New Haven road was not go
ing to retrench to any radical degree. as
that would be Just as much a mistaken
policy as would the other extreme.
Last April the New Haven authorized an
issue of ST., 100000 per cent bonds for re-
construction work. Prior to that an issue
of $4,000 go of new stock had been au-
thoriZed.

PHILADELPHIA BALLOON SPORT.
Many Ascensions Planned to Take
Place Within a Few Months.


PHILADELPHIA, March 25.-As the re-
suit of the successful balloon ascension
made on Saturday at Point Breeze by A. N.
Chandler of this city and Alan r. Hawley,
director of the Aero Club of America, Phil
adelphia is to become the center OF the
thrilling sport of ballooning. This was de-
cided on Saturday by members of the Aero
Club who journeyed from New York to this
city to witness the ascent of Messrs. Chand-
| Ter and Hawley.
Plans have already been made for num-
Der of ascensions at Point Breeze during
the spring and summer months, and q num-
Der of balloon enthusiasts who Will COM
pete in the races to be held at st. Louis
in October for the Gordon-Bennett cup Will
make trial trips in this city.
Among those who will make an ascent
from Point Breeze will be Lieut.. Frank
Lahm, 9Th Cavalry, U. S. A., who won the
balloon race at Paris year ago, covering
4U2 miles. There are also entries from
Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy an
Spain for the St. Louis races. Those entered
include several members of royal fami-
lies. 1t was decided to make the trial trips
conditions prevailing here for balloon as
tensions. Members of the Aero club or
America say that this city is an ideal spot
for ascensions because of the excellent quail
ity of gas which is supplied and the fact
that Philadelphia is pretty well inland.
The largest balloon in America is now
being built in this city for the Philadelphia
Aero Club, of which A. N. Chandler, the
well-known broker is president. The
balloon, which will hold $1,000 cubic feet
of gas will be christened the Ben Frank
lin and is expected to be finished in three
weeks. Members of the local aeronaut club
hope to make trial trip in the Ben
Franklin the latter part of April.
The basket of the new balloon will be
capable of holding nine persons and will be
the finest in existence. Several balloons Of
small type are under way and will be
finished the early part of the summer. The
Aero Club of this city has thirty-five MEM
bers composed of some of the most promi-
nent men in town. The thrilling fascination
of balloon ascensions has caught the mem
bers of several of the leading clubs of this
city. and it is said that several members of
the Art Club will try the experience of
trip to the clouds in the near future
Members of the Philadelphia Aero Club
say that Philadelphia should be the center
of balloonng in view of the fact that the
first ascension that ever took place in this
country was made in Philadelphia in 1888
by a Mr. Blanchard. This ascension was
witnessed by George Washington, who gave
Mr.. Blanchard a commission which read
that all citizens should give him every as
sistance when he descended. The next
balloon ascension at Point Breeze will be
made by party of New Workers the early
part of next month.

5000 TEAM DRIVERS ON STRIKE.
Truck Drivers Committee Has Full
Power to Act

BOSTON. March 25.-With strike of
5000 team drivers in and about Boston
pending, the executive committee of the
General Truck Transfers Union, No. IL,
has been given full authority to act in the
matter. unanimous vote to this effect
was taken at a meeting of the union last
night. The trouble grew out of the refusal
of the master team drivers to sign the
working agreement for 1907 and 1908 pre-
scented to them by the Team Drivers Union
The new agreement calls for one-half hour
less in a days work and a relief from
Sunday and holiday work, which will neces
state employment of additional stablemen
The new wage demanded is for an increase
Of 81 a week for all classes of teamsters,
the wages in the seven classes to run from
So to $40 weekly.
The present agreement expires April g.
and as the great majority of the teamsters
have agreed to stand by the union in case
the new agreement is rejected, it is be-
lieved that a strike cannot be avoided.
