FINDS Law Violated.
Bay State Commission Reports
against Ne7C HaUen.

Boston, Jan. 17.-That the New York.
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
has violated the laws of Massachusetts. and
that II should at once obtain the approval
of the Legislature for it's merger with the
Consolidated Company of Connecticut and
OF the issue of a large amount of stock and
bonds, under penalty OF a forfeiture of its
charter in this state, are the conclusions
of special commission which has investi-
gated the situation and which submitted
its report to the Legislature to-day.
The commission finds that the essential
factor which has created the strained
lations between the New Haven road and
this state is the exercise by the company
of privileges granted by Connecticut in vio-
lation of the laws of Massachusetts.
These privileges, the commission says,
amount to converting the company into a
non-supervised holding company. unless
Massachusetts shall in some degree exer-
else supervision. There should be COM
mon rule of corporate conduct uniform in
several jurisdictions, which at once sug-
gests federal control. The commission
points out that the President has declared
in favor of such control and if approved
by Congress this will, in part, solve the
question.
The commission suggests that the New
Haven company. within a reasonable time,
should petition the Legislature for the au-
thorization of it's acts. In doing so it
should submit complete report of its
finances. The commission points out that
Massachusetts cannot validate securities
which are issued for any property other
than for transportation.
II the company continues to exercise the
privileges without authority the commits
however. that its suggestions will solve the
difficulty.
New Haven, Jan. IA direct issue again
raised between the states of Connecticut
and Massachusetts is the Interpretation
here in railroad circles of the findings to-
day of the special legislative commission in
the latter state holding that the merger
of the New York New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company with the Consolidated
Railway Company was Illegal that large
amounts of outstanding stocks and bonds
are unauthorized, that in the absence Of
the healing act in Massachusetts the New
Haven's charter should be forfeited.
The New Haven company holds charters
both in Connecticut and Massachusetts. AS
regards Connecticut the scope of the char
ter is settled by unanimous decision of the
supreme court OF the Stde last April. Inc
court held that corporation chartered by
Connecticut and sued in that state as
Connecticut corporation an obligation
which it had lawfully incurred and had
promised to discharge in Connecticut. could
not escape on the ground that it was also
corporation in Massachusetts, under the
laws Of which no such liability could have
been legally assumed
The highest officials of the company have
stated in the past that forfeiture Of the
| charter in Massachusetts would be regard
| ed favorably by the corporation. as it
would affect practically only six miles of
track between the Connecticut state line
| and Springfield and do away with many of
the issues raised by the Massachusetts
| charter.

NOTHING WAS LOST.
An Omission In a Wedding Ceremony
That Didn't Count.

A distinguished officer OF the United
States navy once told this story on
himself:
At the time OF his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship. through all OF which he
kept courage and remained as calm
as n brave man should. As the time
for the ceremony came on. however.
his calmness gradually gave way. At
the altar. amid the blaze OF brass but
tons and gold lace marking the full
naval wedding. the officer was all but
stampeded. and what went on there
seemed very much mixed TO him.
Fearing the excitement of the moment
would temporarily take him or his
feet. the officer had learned the mar
riage ceremony letter perfect. as he
thought. aud he remembered repeating
the words after the minister In me-
chanical sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and all
was serene again, including the OIL

on the shoulder.

whats that?" asked the bridegroom
with something OF astonishment In his
voice.
why. repeated the sentence With
all my worldly goods thee endow'

you would not say 1t after me-"
The bridegroom seemed perturbed
for moment. and then n beamins
