TRUNK ROW OVER RATES.
History Of New Haven-Canadian Pa
cific Trouble

NEW HAVEN, Conn, December 1S.-It
Is explained here by officers of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company that the trunk trouble in con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific railroad
line dates back several months when, by
agreement with the Canadian Pacific, the
diminished differential freight rates to
and from the west were extended from
northern Massachusetts, and northern
New England to the whole Of the New
Haven system in southern New England
and to New York city. The effect Of this
was to give the new Canadian Pacific
route to and from the west lower rate
based upon the increased distance. longer
time and some other inconvenience. The
result has been that the Canadian Pacific
has developed new business in southern
New England not merely by the lower
rate but by so diminishing time and by
supplying new facilities as to outbid other
trunk lines for the business.
however. that New York business is not
SO much affected as the important freight
ing points in southern New England
which formerly took business from and
sent it to regular trunk lines.
The Grand Trunk last spring opened
negotiations with the New Haven for a
similar arrangement as that with the
Canadian Pacific, but the negotiations fell
through owing to disa greements over
stea mboat connections at New London.

Averill, United States consul for For

In the report issued by the principal
Japanese steamship company. the Nippon
Ysen Kaisha, attention is called to the
losses due to the boycott against Japan by
China
The annual report said the economic
situation, both in the United States and
Japan, coupled with the Chinese boycott
OF Japanese goods, had greatly reduced
shipments, nearly half the liners carrying
but 400 or 500 tons to the vessel as a re-
suit.
The question of the unemployed in
Japan is becoming serious. At the Maya
saki and Kobe dockyards large numbers
of workmen have been. discharged, and
much the same state OF affairs prevails at
other dockyards.

WRANGLE OVER SENECA.
No Prospect Of a Canada's Cup Race
Next Year.

DETROIT, Mich, December 19.-Deter-
tween the Rochester Yacht Club and the
Royal Canadian Yacht Club of Toronto
and to restore the prospect of a Cana
da's cup race In 1909 came to naught to-
day at g. meeting of the council OF the
Yacht Racing Union, which was held at
the Hotel Cadillac in this city. Aemilius
Jarvis of Toronto explained the attitude
of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club and
Commodore T. b. Pritchard Of the Ro-
chester Yacht Club spoke for the Roches-
ter yachtsmen.
The Canadians stood firmly on their
contention that the yacht Seneca having
been bullion salt water, and once owned
at Indian Harbor. N. Y, was not entitled
to compete for the Canadas cup, which
they asserted was aimed to provide an
exclusively fresh water trophy similar to
the Americas cup on salt water.
The Canadians also charged that the
Seneca did not comply with the scantling
restrictions now in force IN the union
point, and had Withdrawn their challenge
when the Rochester club, In agreeing to
arbitrate the scantlings question. refused
to arbitrate the first point of the contro-
versy.
Commodore Pritchard stated at the
meeting that Mr.. Hannah, owner OF the
Seneca, had ordered that boat built pri-
marily for Canada's cup contest. and
had a perfect right to take her to salt
water for other contests. Commodore
Pritchard argued that the membership OF
Mr.. Hannah In the Rochester club fixed
the eligibility Of his boat. regardless OF
any races she might have entered else
where.
At today's meeting several amendments
to the rules Of the Yacht Racing Union
were adopted to bring the rules on the
great lakes into uniformity with those in
effect on the Atlantic coast.

NEW YORK, December 10.-Following
an alteration over an alleged debt Of $3.50
incurred in connection with the financing

mining stock broker, member OF the curb

fatally wounded. Lumsden claimed that
the money in question was due him and
that an attempt was being made to de-
fraud him Of it.
The shooting, which followed a hand
to-hand encounter in which George A
Downs, young clerk employed by Suy-
dam, joined was witnessed from the
street below by the 300 fellow curb brok-
ers of the victim, none of whom could
reach the Office in time to prevent 1t.
Demanded Money.
According to the story told by Suydam
to the coroner and corroborated by Downs
and the other occupants of the office at
the time Of the shooting, Lumsden. upon
whose stock in the vibrator company Suy-
dam obtained a loan, called this morning
to demand an equivalent for the stock In
question. 1t was explained to him that
the money had been obtained by the COM
pany and for the use of the company and
that consequently Suydam could not per-
sonally be held liable for 1t. This en-
ragged Lumsden, it is said. and he de-
manded immediate payment. threatening
to shoot Suydam there and then II what
he considered his due was not paid over
to him at once. The broker parleyed for
a few minutes with Lumsden to gain
time and seeing his opportunity threw
both arms around him, at the same time
CRYING out 20 Downs: For Gods sake
grab him, he's going to shoot.
Downs rushed to the assistance or his
employer and, graphing with Lumsden,
the three men scuff1ed together, falling
against the window, which shattered at
the shock.
Fired With Pinioned Arms.
The 300 brokers in the street below
looked up at the sound Of the broken
glass and were in time to see Lumsden
reach under both arms Of Downs, who
pinioned him, and fire twice. Suydam.
struck by both bullets. staggered and fell.
One bullet entered the left chest above
the heart and the other pierced the right
side. penetrating the liver and lung.
Lumsden, rescued from the hands Of
Suydams friends by the police. explained
the shooting by saying he had acted In
elf-defense. At the Hudson Street Hos
pital, where the wounded. broker was re-
moved, no hope Of his recovery Is enter
