| Washington, June 25.-The suit | against the New Haven and the Bos- | ton and Maine railroads which was | instituted under the Sherman anti | trust law late in the spring of 1908 by
 Charles J. Bonaparte, who was then
 Attorney-General, has been dismissed | by direction of Attorney-General Wickersham. The Attorney General in | a statement issued from the Depart | ment of Justice explained that the | suit against the New Haven railroad merger was dismissed because the Legislature of Massachusetts had passed an act specifically authorizing the consolidation of corporations by stock ownership.
 The statement of Attorney-General Wickersham is in part as follows: "The Attorney-General received to- day a certified copy of the act passed by the Legislature of Massachusetts, creating the Boston Railroad Holding Company. This act authorizes the new
 corporation created under it to acquire and hold all or any part of the stock and bonds of the Boston & Maine prizes any railroad corporation there tofore incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts to acquire and hold the stock and bonds of the Boston Holding
 Company.
 "The purpose and effect of this sta-
 tute, is to authorize the consolidation of the Boston & Maine Railroad Com
 pany and the New York, New Haven
 & Hartford Railroad Company. This
 is to be accomplished first by the Bos- ton Holding Company acquiring the control of the Boston & Maine Rail
 road Company, and next. by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company acquiring control of the Bos- ton Holding Company.
 "The statute further provides that the stock of the Boston & Maine to be acquired by the holding company shall not hereafter be sold without express authority from the Legislature, and that the stock of the holding com pany, if acquired by the New Haven road, shall not hereafter be sold with out express authority of the Legisla- ture. Finally it is provided that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts may, at any time, by an act of the Legisla- ture, upon one years notice, take for it's own use, by purchase or otherwise all the stock and bonds of the holding company upon certain terms designed to protect creditors and secure just compensation. Since the community most directly affected is the State of Massachusetts, whose laws now ex- pressly authorize such consolidation. the Attorney General has determined to dismiss the Governments action.
 'The further complaint was made that the New Haven railroad had ac- quired a. number of trolley lines in Massachusetts and adjoining states,

and that this was a combination in re- straint of interstate commerce. Since the governments suit was determined upon, however, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has decided that the railroad company has no such power, and that company has been parting with such trolley properties.
 There is not now in this case any such element of competition in inter state commerce by reason of such ownership of trolley lines as would jus tify a further prosecution of the ac- tion.'-
 The suit to dissolve the alleged mer- ger of the New York, New Haven and Hartford and Boston and Maine roads was instituted in Boston in May of last year.

MIR. Mellen's Statement
Matter Now up to John L. Billiard Who
 Has Control of B. & M. Stock.

New Haven, June 25.-In New York, New Haven 6 Hartford railroad cir cles here the decision of the attorney general of the United States to with draw the suit against the corporation under the Sherman act has been re- ceived with some surprise.
 When shown the dispatches an nouncing the withdrawal, by the at torney-general of the federal suits against the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford. and Boston and Maine railroads, President c. S. Mel len, of the New Haven, made the fol- lowing statement:
 'I have no official notification of the dismissal of tho federal suit, but, as suming that the Press reports are cor rect. it would seem as if there were no legal obstancles remaining to prevent the merger of the two companies. MT. Billiard, however, has control of the Boston & Main stock and the only pos sible obstacle is whether he will be willing to relinquish that control.' MALONE SAYS BINDS
 NAVIGATION DISPUTE, TOO.
 Boston, June 25.@State Attorney General Dana Malone, when informed of the withdrawal of the merger suit, made the following statement:
 'In case the United States govern ment. withdarws it's trust law viola tion suit against the New Haven road, it will end all controversy regarding & Albany railroaad and the Boston & Maine, also the Massachusetts Hold ing company, of which MT. Billiard is the head, and I would not be sur prised at such a move. On the other hand it will in no way affect the troll is concerned and the state can pursue its own course"
