ROAD IS IGNORANT OF SUIT
Has Not Been Notified of Government Action Regarding Sale of
 Trolleys.

In regard to the story which has been going the rounds of some of the newspapers recently, to the effect that the United States was having papers prepared for suit against the New Haven road for violation of the anti trust law by buying trolley lines in the sthte, a prominent railroad man said yesterday:
 "The railroad has received no noti- iication, official or otherwise, that the United States was preparing to sue the New Haven road. The road keeps closely in touch with Washington and should such a suit be planned it would be among the first to know
 "The matter first came up several months ago, when someone raised the question of the legality of the roads purchasing the trolley lines and the Joy and other steamship lines. At first it seemed to some that the road had Killed competition by it's large purchases, The matter, however, stands at present, I believe, as 1t did several months ago"

TARS REVOLT ON
ARMY TRANSPORT
MARINES AND JACKIES COM-
PLAIN OF TREATMENT ON THE
BUFORD

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1S.-Al-
though Army officers on board the
transport attempted to look truthful
when they SAID that no trouble had
occurred on board the Buford, which
arrived from Manila yesterday. Navy
men who came on the steamer said
that she was "a perfect hell on water
all the way from Nagasabi
The Buiord brought 5l4 passengers
from the islands, among whom were
l3 4marlnes, mostly in charge of Chef
Gunner Meyers, and, according to the
statements of the iaclties. the whole
voyage from Nagasald to this port was
occupied in a quarrel between the Ar
my and Navy officers, which closely
bOrdered on mutiny.
The Navy men say that Army Off
GERS and petty officers on the transport
systematically neglected their duties
and attempted to force work which
ought to have been done by them up
on the Navy men. They say that ev-
cry indignity possible was forced by
Army Quarlermaster-Lic Chas.
b. Moore upon the tars, and the peri
helion of the insulting treatment was
reached when an order was issued
for the inspection of the underclothes
which the Navy men were wearing.
Protests against this inspection
were made o nbehalf of the tars by
Chief Gunner Myers, who was prompt
ly locked up in the brig, and, accord
ing to the story of the Navy men, was
only released on their threatening to
break the brig. Whatever the merits
of the emeute may be, a complaint
against Lieutenant Moore was prepar-
ed yesterday for transmission to the
Admiral at Mare island.
officers on the Buford laugh at the
report that vessel in distress sent up
rockets which were seen on the out.
ward voyage by the lookout. They
say that the light observed was a me-
teor.
The Buford brought 100000 pesos
In treasure and a large amount Of con
demned ammunition and Army stores.
She occupied thirty-three days on her
passage from Manila twenty-six from
Nagasald, and eight days fifteen hours
from Honolulu.

AHEAD
FOR JACK TULLETT

Lazell, the horse brought from the
Coast last year by John O'ROuke to
win the $1,000 purse at Hilo and which
walked away with the race, is figuring
prominently in the sporting columns
of the San Francisco papers just now.
On the 14th inst Lazell started in
race at Oakland, the distance being
one and three-siXteenth miles. Ridden
by Keogh and starting at odds on the
gelding finished two lengths behind
Beechwood ridden by Walter Miller,
the crack jockey. Lazell came with a
rush at the finish but Beechwood won
under wraps.
j. e. Case claimed Lazell from H..
G. Bedwell in whose coOrs he ran
for $S25. Bedwell took the horse from
H. Tullett only recently by the bidding
up process, paying $1,000 for him.
In the Call of the 10th appears the
following:
H. G. Bedwell filed a formal protest
with the stewards yesterday against
the claiming of his horse Lazell by
j. e. Case the day before, alleging col
fusion on the part of Case with II.
Tullett, the former owner of the horse.
Immediately after Lazell was claimed
Case turned him over to Tullett Bed
well alleged that he had proof that
ITullett had provided the cash with
which Case had taken the horse from
him. Case, in turn, alleged that not
until after he had claimed Lazell did
Tullett offer to take the horse off his
hands. Judge Hopper said yesterday
that Bedwell had not made out case
sufficiently strong to warrant the re-
turn of the horse to his stable, but
further developments were expected
/ today.
If there was any irregularity in the
transaction by which the horse was
taken fran Bedwell. Case and Tuliett
will be severely disciplined, in all prob
ability. Collision in a case of this kind
is regarded as a serious offense.
