AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF TAFT.

Imperial cares are those which fol- low the President of the United States in this 2Oth century to bed which haunt his pillow, and awake with him at the dawn of day President Ar thur could lie abed all the morning, make a slow toilet and appear down. stairs in the White House at a late hour and yet keep his grasp on pub lie affairs, His secret was his mem tai poise and his having very able men in his cabinet, to whom he in- trusted great responsibilities. MT, Arthur was 8 man of luxurious tastes and elegant inclinations He was not Q Deryasive force in his administra- i ton as is MT. Roosevelt.
 Judge Taft is @ man of mental ser- entity, as was President Arthur, he has a liking for large affairs, a mind (which readily assimilates details, and
 his administrative capacity is large. He would not break without friction.

NO ACTION ON STOCK ISSUE.
Continued from First Page)

Continued from First Page) cases these have been resold to third parties. In local cases of the kind there is obviously little question of outside stock exchange rulings except as there has been outside dealings with mem bers of stock exchanges and the mat ter may ultimately have to be deter mined by the laws of such a case.
 Among those who have sold their rights are one or two of the largest holders in this city.
 In the New York, New Haven and Hartford board of directors, it is un- derstood, that hitherto those voting in favor of the issue of new shares at $125 have included a number of the financial magnates on the board including J. Pierpont Morgan. In fact MT Morgan, himself, at the meeting yesterday, an nounced himself though in a somewhat qualified way, as favoring the issue at SIPS. On the other hand, President Mel len has from the first favored the issue of new stock at 100 and number of the other directors have stood with him and have even gone so far as to criticise severely the proposition to is- sue the shares at $125 in the present condition of the stock market.
 What the directors will finally de- eide is doubtful, but 1t seems highly probably that their decision will turn on the movements of the stock be- tween the present date and Nov. when decisive action will be taken. If the stock during this interval should rise the issue is likely to be made at 125; if it fails it will probably be at $1O0 and the increased number of shares, namely, 431,219, will be issued in order to supply the addi- tional funds required for improvement and new equipment.
 This will require an additional fund for dividends beginning with July, 1909 of $S0O,OOO over and above what would be required were the plan of issue al 125 carried out.
 The whole situation is believed un. precedented in the history of new stock issues by American railway com panies. It has been due entirely tc the rapid and unexpected fall of rail way shares in the stock market, in. cluding those of the New Haven road
 In local banking circles it is pre- dicted that if the change is made iron 125 to 100 in the issue of the new stocl not a few cases will reach the courts the number of such cases dependinl upon the good faith with which pri vate contracts are kept.

Bulkeley's Criticism.

United States Senator Morgan c. Bulkeley of Hartford, at once offered an objection to a number of things in the report and criticised the manage ment of the property, especially it's expansion policy.
 q represent said the senator, myself as stockholder with large financial interests in the territory in which l reside, and the persons I act for are not in accord with the present policy of the road in its operations in the last few years. It seems to be of little use to appear in opposition to the management as far as the vote on the annual report is concerned. The stock and other securities of the com pany are widely distributed among in dividuals and concerns which I rep resent in this matter and I feel that it would best serve their interests if the president of the company would make some explanation, especially of the first two acts in the report which the stockholders are asked to ap- prove.
 ''One of these is the great expan- sion policy of the road. In compar- ing this report which I have in hand with that of one of few years ago I have observed that the outstand ,ng securities of the company have now been increased from about $S0,0O0,O1O to about $S00000,OOO
 "The indebtedness of the company in the same time has increased from $10, 100000 to $22S COG, ,000 Interest payments by this company have been advanced since 1884, when the sum total was only $194000, into the mil lions at the present time and this fact in itself is worth some explana- ton to those who have their finances in the stock of this corporation"
 Information Wanted.
 At this point some one of the large crowd of stockholders started to ap- plaud the senator's remarks, but he continued:
 We ought to have some informa- tion on the policy of the company be- | fore the directors commit their acts | Without knowing what the future pol 1 icy of the road is to be, and what the acts that have been done mean to the property we are asked to vote on the same. we stockholders ought to stop for a moment and consider this proposition, and learn if possible, just how much longer this policy of ex- pansion is going to continue.
 T am not here to urge opposition to the best interests or the manage ment or the best interests of the stockholders throughout New England generally. but simply as one of the ] stockholders who represents others in the remarks he has made. But l and others interested in this great property want to know if the present expan- sion policy is to be continued, that is of course, as far as such information can be publicly disclosed"
 MeIlen's Reply.
 In reply to Senator Bulkeley and tc other inquiries of stockholders on va rious points, Mir Mellen expressed his willingness on all times and occasions to answer any questions of stockhold. CTS. As to the points raised by MT Bulkeley he said that a conservative board of directors had acted upon al questions of policy and had year agC passed upon the question of equip
