NEW HAVEN ROAD NOT TO ACT YET New Trial May Be Held Before Company Disposes of Its Bay State Holdings
 of Trolleys. MANY QUESTIONS IMVOL WE'D
 -------------------- Plan of Having State Represented on Directorate May Be Adopted
 as One of the Ways
 Out.
MANY QUESTIONS INV0L WE'D

Inquiry in railroad circles here in re- gard to the decision of the supreme court of Massachusetts against the holding Of the trolleys in the state by
 tho New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company shows that the atti- tude of the New Haven corporation Is likely to depend upon the form of the decree against 1t. The decision of the court ordered q decree in favor of the Informant the attorney general of the
 state who now must apply for 1t to a single justice. The decree in its form may raise an important question ar a number of questions as may result consequently in new trial of the case. The position of the New Haven com pany Is therefore a passive one and it cannot proceed until the decree Is made and in a legal sense fully dgested
 While no official information Ia given out the impression prevails strongly In the New Haven roalroad offices that the company will adopt pacific policy and seek results which while concess- sive to the state of Massachusetts will not involve the absolute giving up of the trolleys or of the Boston and Maine lshares. In regard to the troleys the railroad sentiment seems focusing more and more upon the plan recom- mended recently by the Massachusetts commission on commerce and industry This in brief was the transfer of the trolleys to new corporation With ehares to be issued on an equitable basis in exchange for the shares trans ferred. Secondly that the new cor poration be forced to dispose of the street railway companies If the board
 of railroad commissioners certify say within l0 years that it Is for the pub lie interest that this he done. Third, that the state be represented on the l board oI directors. There is evidently however some disposition on the part of the railroad company unless a com
 promise can he arranged to appeal the whole subject to the federal courts for
 the purpose of determining the relative ! jurisdiction over the matter of the states of Connecticut and Massachu-
 setts In each of which the New Haver
 corporation Is chartered and which
 have been very divergent in their rail road policy and laws.

 in State Legislature in 1900.

County Commissioner Edward Foot Thompson died yesterday afternoon at the Thompson homestead In East Ha- ven of heart trouble. His illness has kept him from his officials duties since last November, although he was far from we'll long before he would cease the duties of his office.
 The deceased was one of the best known New Haven county republican politicians and held during his life many duties of trust which he always performed with credit to himself. He was a descendant of the English Thompsons and his ancestors settled in East Haven over 200 years ago and were singers of the Colony constitution in 1889. Mir. Thompson died in the homestead which has for four genera tons passed from father to son and now by his death as he was the last of four brothers the old landmark will cease to be the home of descendants who bear the name of the founder of the house like many others of the old New England stock.
 The deceased was 51 years four months and three days old and was d son of the late Edward Ellsworth Thompson and Caroline Smith Thomp- son and a brother of the late Judge James s. Thompson, who presided at the city court in this city from 1887 to 1891 an dwho died In 1897. Two other brothers, John Root and William Ells- worth died several years before. Mir. | Thompson is survived by his wife who Is a prominent member of Mary Clapp Wooster chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution and two daugh- ters Misses Margery E. and Doris F. Thompson. MT. Thompson had for years been m assessor In the town of East Haven and in 1900 was elected 10 represent that town in the legisla. ture and was made the secretary of the committee on railroads one of the most important of all the legislative com nittees. It was during this session of the legislature that the New Haven county members choose him AS coun- ty commissioner. This office he has been re elected to twice and held up to the time of his death The deceased was of jovial disposition and his whole-soued opsn hearted manner made for him legions of friends who mourn the loss and extend sympathy to the grief stricken family.
 Mir. Thompson was a member of the Congregational church of East Haven and is prominent member of the Union League club of this city
 Lewis & Maycock have charge of the funeral arrangements. The services will be held at his late residence in East Haven Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock and interment will be in the family plot in the East Haven ceme' tery.

Anthony Carroll Is still "boss" of city hall If you don't believe 1t, ask Wolf Levy, who, so the story goes, was elected from a room in city hall by Anthony yesterday It seems that Anthony was, as usual, boring over records when Wolf came in. Anthony looked up, saw who it was and asked Have you permission to come in here?"
 Levy answered not to MT Carroll's liking telling him 1t was none of his business, or such like. With that Anthony is said to have turned to Director Foley, who was nearby, and asked him if he had given Levy a permit to come in. MT. Foley said no, and before he knew what was going on Anthony had Wolf by the shoul- ders and had him through the door.

MOST IMPORTANT HEARING
TODAY ON THE TARIFF


Washington. Nov. 2S.-When to-
days tariff revision hearings before
the ways and means committee of the
house began il was expected that
they would develop the most radical
tariff reduction testimony that had
yet been presented.
This was expected more particular
ly as regards hides and leather. coal,
agricultural implements and works
of art. The sundries schedule is OF
greater general interest than any 9th
er portion of the tariff
Shoe aud leather manufacturers
from every part of the United States
are scheduled TO appear before the
committee today to make strong
fight to have hides again placed on
the free lists.
The republican members of the
committee are said to look favorably
upon a reduction of the duty upon
hides, especially as it has been tho
policy of the Roosevelt administra-
tion to take every possible means TO
increase the trade between the Unit
ed States and South America, whence
most of the hides are imported
Representative Champ Clark and
other democratic members will prob
ably seize upon the opportunity to
agitate a probing of the so-called
beef trust.
