DEMURRAGE FIGHT
Foreign Roads Dehecting Some of Their Traffic from
 New Haven.
20, 900 CARS IN ONE DAY

There are at present in use on the New Haven road about twenty thous- and foreign cars per day upon an average, which is somewhat or de- crease of the average in the earlier part of the year This indicates that to some extent the outside roads have been diverting business from the New Haven system, which is further indi- cated by the congestion of freight up- on the Boston and Albany and the Boston and Maine systems
 IA high officer of the road confirms this, diversion of freight, but says that it is not serious in amount. He fur ther states that, owing to the con- gestion on the Boston and Albany, the New York Central its lessee, has been forced to turn upon the New Haven system 100 carloads dailyl, thus making up largely for any freight diverted by other roads,
 , With about 10000 foreign cars upon it's system and about 4,00O of it's own cars upon outside systems, the New Haven company becomes a daily debtor to the amount of of about 16,O00 cars, which, at 50 cents demurrage 8 day, means a total indebtedness of about &, 900 daily.
 The New Haven company withdrew on the first of last October from the American Railway association, and the dispute between it and the outside roads upon the new charge of 30 cents per diem not having been settled, all payments to the outside roads have been withheld to the extent of nearly s250,00O month, and now amount to several hundred thousand dollars. This has created a situation which of late has become very acute indeed and 1t now can be stated authorita- ttively that the matter is likely to be settled within a short time i probably in the form of a compromise agreement on a basis of S5 cents per car. in place of the 50 cents per diem established by the American Railway association. This would result in saw ing to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company of about S3.oo0 a day, or about s1,000,001 year l ndemurrage charges, providing all the connecting railroad companies assent

MAURETANTA ARRTvEs.

New York, Nov 22.--Poking her nose through a dense curtain of fog that hid the coast, the biggest, the most luxurious ship ever launched fin- ished in safety her maiden voyage, when at 11:03 a. m. to-day the Cunard line steamship, Mauretania, anchored off the Sandy Hook lightship, five days, five hours and ten minutes from Queenstown.
 Though the new liner demonstrated her ability to develop a, higher speed by day under favorable conditions than the Lusitania has thus far proved her self capable of, an .uncommonly stormy passage and fog enforced caution off the coast of arrival combined to in crease her record time ten hours and thirty minutes beyond that established by her sister ship. Captain Pritchard believes that in fair weather passage he can beat the Lusitania.

 Sixteenth Round.

San Francisco, Nov 22-Owen. Moran of England, and Frankie Neil, the bantamweight champion of Amer ica, met tonight in a scheduled twen- ty-round boxing contest.

 The chief impressed upon the men the necessity of talking with the de- fendants whom they arrest before they are seen by attorneys so that informa- tio as to the case may be placed at the disposal of the city.
 "I would like to have you get all of the Information you can," said the chief, in an honest, legitimate manner.
 T don't expect you Taen to be over jealous in your duty, Give everybody a square deal rich and poor. Be mer- ciful, yet firm
 T wish you could lay aside all little petty jealousies that may exist among Fou. Some of the promotions, per haps, have stirred you up 8 little Lay all that aside. What I want you to understand Is this: l want every man to wipe the slate off and begin anew, and if he does his duty 1 will back him to the last ditch"
 There was pause when Chief Cowles finished. Then ex-Chief Wrinn appeared, and in a few words Chief Cowles presented him the couch and the chair, 8 most substantial token or esteem and friendship from the entire police department, with which he had heen associated nearly forty years.
 The gift was a great surprise to ex- Chief Wrinn.
 Chief and gentlemen of the police force," said ex-Chief Wrinn, "I thank you most sincerely for this magnificent gift that you have thought proper to bestow on me this afternoon. My friends, it was unexpected. have baen applauded and given presents enough already, presents galore, as the Irish man said. l didn't expect anything of this kind. It is unpleasant for me to be parted from you forever, after llav- ing been associated with you for near ly forty years
 The ex-chief of police went on to compliment the force, thanking it for US loyal support u nun "Heh ie was at the head of the department and hoping that this same support would be given to Chief Cowles. He said that the police force of New Haven had every comfort that the officers or the city could be reasonably be ex. pected to furnish it.
 When it gets cold; when the mer- cury is down to zero, you can come to the station for few minutes or a half hour and warm up," said the ex-ehief.

Washington, Nov. 22.--An import ant announcement of policy was made by Secretary Cortelyou late to-day in regard to the allotment of the new one year treasury certificates which indicates that the secretary is prepar- ed to cut red tape as far as possible and to place the proceeds of the sale of the certificates promptly at the dis posal of the money market.

 The remaining 25 per cent. will go for the time being to strengthen the cash balance of the treasury. The banks surrendering this 25 per cent. will not, however, suffer a reduction in their supply of currency, for that will be entitled to receive the par value of the certificates purchased in new bank circulation. To make this transaction, immediately effective the treasury will retain the certificates purchased by each bank if it desires that they be deposited or the Unlted states treasury as security for circulation and will ship the notes at once.
 Secretary Cortelyou is studying the application for certificates carefully to make the allotments in the manner which will be most beneficial to the monetary situation. The secretary con- tinued to receive calls to-day from prominent bankers and from various points regarding the new issues
