she found Davenport In his stocking
feet In the dining room with draw
er containing the ware open. She
complained to the detectives and on
her charges he was arrested. She
claims that the door of the room was

the burglary charge. At present he Is
not charged with the theft of the
articles which have been missed
which are valued at over 500.
Davenport maintains his innocence

CONGRESS READY
TO ADJOURN TODAY
House Work Is Done, While the
Senate Hopes to Force a
Vote on Currency This
Afternoon.
BUILDING BILL THE CLUB
House Is Withholding Its Approval
OF That Measure Until Senate
Accepts the Compromise
Currency Bill.

Washington. May 8,-Aside from the
currency bill both houses OF congress
are In good condition for final adjourn
ment tomorrow All the appropria-
tion bills except the general deficiency
have been passed by both houses and
the conference reports on all except
that ,have been finally accepted by the
senate.
The conferees on the general defci-
ency bill reached an agreement several
days ago. and they will be ready to
present their report as soon as the
house shall act upon the omnibus build
ing bill. The latter bill has been agreed
to In conference, and the senate has
accepted the conference report The
conference report has been held up in
the house, however, as q weapon with
which to force the senate to act upon
the currency bill, and 1t will be put
through that body within a few min
utes after notification OF the senate's
action on the currency question. Both
the senete and the house will be re-
quired to act on the conference report
on the general deficiency bill, but It
can be put through In short order.
Anticipating that the building bill
would become law, the conference
committee has incorporated In the de-
flciency bill the amounts necessary to
carry the former into effect and as thus
perfected, II is printed and prepared
for final presentation to both houses.
They have even gone to the extent OF
printing the bill as It will become q
law Consequently 1t could probably
be acter upon by both the senate and
house within two hours time. There
are a number OF other important
measures in conference but none ex-
cept the currency bill, the deficiency
bill or the building bill would be per-
mitted to defer adjournment for any
length Of time.
That adjournment will be reached
tomorrow the leaders of the house are
confident The senate leaders are not
so confident but they are hopeful. In
the latter body all will depend on the
currency bill. More speeches are ex.
pected on that measure and 1t is evid.
ent that If the end comes tomorrow II
will be late In the day.

Citizens Believe Government
Oppressive in Bringing Suit
3. Against New Haven
Lines.
SERVICE NOW VERY GOOD
Comparison Made With That Which
Existed Before the Corporation
Took Over the Small
Companies.

The local merchants and business
men are standing almost solidly by
the New Haven road In Its present
suit by the federal government for
violation Of the antitrust act. A
Journal-Courier reporter. who saw q
great many of them yesterday after
noon, found them almost unanimous-
ly condemning the fedora govern.
ment In its action.
One Of them in discussing the
charge that the New Haven road had
bought up all the trolleys and made
competition impossible. called atten-
tion to the fact that In other sections
Of the country the same has been
done without similar action by the ma
tional government. He also said that
competition was not impossible in the
state, as Is seen by the fact that
each session of the legislature COM
panies formed in many different parts
of the state procure charters and
some of them build roads. In most
OF the instances. however, the people
Of the section for which the charter
is obtained, become so disgusted with
the delay of the local company that
they welcome and assist the New Ha-.
ven road In buying up the charter
and building the lines. There are a.
few lines in the state which are not
now owned by the New Haven road.
and though willing to buy the road Is
not making any special effort to get
them.
One merchant who visits the east
ern part of the state during the sum-
mer considerably, said that until
about five years ago the New Haven
road did not own the companies In
New London, the line btween New
London and Norwich. the Norwich
lines, the Norwich and Baltic line,
and the Willimantic line. There were
these FIVE lines and the service was
poor The trolleys did not connect
and great deal Of time was lost
In making the trip through the east
ern part Of the state. Then gradually
the road bought up the lines and the
change was at once visible. In place
OF the old worn out cars Of New Lon
don and Norwich. fine new commo-
dious cars were put on the lines The
money lost In the previous duplication
of plants was put into improving the
service. Every effort was made to re-
arrange the schedules so that there
would be good connections, and soon
all the lines in the eastern part Of the
state were working together.
The trip from New London to Will
limantic was shortened by at least an
hour. and the equipment was up to
date in every respect
This merchant pointed out that the
federal government apparently wants
to break up these consolidated lines
into the state which existed previous
to the amalgamation. He said that
disconnected service, no through cars.

would be the result
Another merchant looking at the
matter from more material point
Of view. said that undoubtedly the

N. H. ROAD OBJECTS
Does Not Like Certain Features
Of Massachusetts, Legisla-
tive Measure.
NOT ACCEPT THEM
Also Opposed TO Form of Decree as
Presented by Attorney-G
eral Malone.

In railroad and banking circles here
the impression prevails that certain
features of the new legislative measure
relating to the Boston & Maine and
New Haven merger are not likely to
be acceptable TO the New Haven COM
pany, particularly that clause in the
bill which transfers for a considerable
time voting power on the 50 per cent
of the Boston G. Maine stock to the
Massachusetts railroad commissioners.
Objection Is also likely to be raised to
the form of the decree presented by
Attorney General Malone under the re-
cent decision of the Massachusetts SUI
preme court and at present It looks as
though features of the decree itself will
have to be passed upon BY the court
and preliminary litigation thus some
what prolonged. 1t is generally believed
here that the Massachusetts end of the
litigation will finally have to go to the
United States supreme court unless an
agreement is arrived at through addi-
tional legislation.
AS to the federal suit railroad and le-
gal opinions here seem to differ, AS
to the legal effectiveness of the Sher-
man Antitrust act of 1900 In reaching
the New Haven case, saying nothing
of the close division Of the judges In
the Northern Securities case which in
volved the whole scope of the act. Lo-
cally the effect of the federal suit has
not affected the value Of underlying Sc.
curties of the New Haven company ex.
cept the stocks of the trolley systems
guaranteed directly or In directly .ir
the contract by which control of the
large trolley systems in this state ant
Rhode Island were transferred to the
