WRANGLE
 IN HODGDON SUIT

Hartford, Jan. 4.--If George R. Hodgdon, former proprietor of the New Dom hotel, had money which his receivers could cheat him out of when he went into bankruptcy, last summer, why did he go into bankruptcy? Or if he didn't have any money, how could he sue Benedict M. Holden, his receivers attorney, for cheating him out of it? These were the tWo-headed questions which chased each other around and around in circle during all of a very stormy session held in the office of George A. Kellogg, referee in bankruptcy, yesterday. The hear ing was. one phase of jack-straw heap of legal matter now. known as the Hodgdon-Coe- Holden suits. And following the example of most games of jack straws, acute legal minds are under the firm impression that if one single straw could be removed or ev- en tapped, the whole heap would come tumbling down.
 As a result the earnest gathering collected in the referees office had much the attitude of a group of play CTS fishing for jackstraws and never quite certain when somebody was go- ing to touch the key-straW. Although it could not be stated in so many words, the players at this little game were gathered into two sides, one of which were very keen to yank out the key-straw and the other equally anxi- ouS that it remain unmolested.

ARRESTED NOW
 FOR PERJURY
NEW HAVEN MEN FACE NEW CHARGE OVER BOGUS YALE
 HARVARD BASEBALL TICKETS.

. Important developments sprang up yesterday afternoon and last night in connection with the cases of Louis H. Weiner and Abraham s. Cutler, of New Haven, who were arrested last summer on charges of selling forged tickets for the Yale-Harvard baseball game. Weiner and Cutler, when on trial declared they had obtained the tickets from a man from Boston whom they described though they did not have his name. A disagreement of the jury in the superior court left the cases hanging to be brought up if desired at the coming session of the court. Now an entirely new phase is put on the case.
 Detective Sergeant Donnelly yester- cay afternoon arrested Joseph Hoff- man of 47 Prince street. New Haven, a printer at 31 Crown street on the two counts of forgery and uttering forged documents. He was released on $500 bonds furnished by his mother.
 According to the police Hoffman made some admissions to them regard ing the affair which resulted in the arrest of Weiner and Cutler on per jury charges. It is alleged the tick cts were printed in Crown street for these men and that the men perjur- ed themselves, when they testified to buying them from a Boston man.

Consolidation of big financial in- terests is still in progress in Now York, under the apparent direction of J. Pierpont Morgan. Not long ago he acquired control of the Equitable Life Assurance society with assets reaching into the hundreds Of mill lions. Now, he seems to be the prin- cipal figure in a merger of the Guar anty, Merton and Fifth Avenue Trust companies, with assets aggregating $150, 100000. Precisely what these new ynoves in the financial game mean, has not yet transpired. There is a suspicion, however, that Morgan intends the combination as an auxili- ary to Senator Aldrich's proposed great central bank, though it may possibly be that he is planning an efficient competitor to that institu- ton.

BIG MERGER OF,
 TRUST COMPANIES
MORGAN INTERESTS BUY MOR- TON AND FIFTH AVENUE TO CONSOLIDATE WITH THE GUAR ANTV

New York Jan. 4.-The Morgan in- terests, which recently acquired con trol of the Guaranty Trust Company from the Hartman estate and the Mu- tual Life Insurance Company, obtained yesterday the controlling interest in the Morton Trust Company and the Fifth avenue Trust Company, which, according to an announcement made by representative of J. F. Morgan & Co.,, will be merged with the Guar anty Trust Company.
 The same interests control the Bank CTS Trust company and the under standing in the financial district is merger of the enlarged Guaranty Trust Company with the Bankers Trust company. These four institutions now have combined deposits of $171, 100000 and their consolidation would give the Morgan interests control of by far the largest trust company in the United States.
 Control of the Morton Trust Com pany was acquired through the pur- chase by H. P. .Davison, acting for the Morgan interests, of the stock of the Morton Trust held by Levi P. Morton, Thomas F. Ryan, the Whit ney estate, and the Mutual Life In- surance Company, together, it is un- derstood. with smaller holding of
 
 was not announced, but it is under stood to be in the neighborhood of $500 a share. The Morton Trust Com pa1ly has a capital of s2,000,OOO and practically all of this. it is said, has passed to the Morgan interests. The purchase price would therefore be in the neighborhood of S12,000,o000.
 The Fifth Avenue Trust Company has been controlled by the Morton Trust Company and the Mercantile Trust Company, each of which held about a quarter interest in it. The latest quoted bid for it's stock was $385 a share. Its stock was acquired by these two trust companies from the Mutual Life and the Equitable Life two years ago. J. P. Morgan recently purchased from Thomas F. Ryan the majority stock of the Equitable Life, which through the Mercantile Trust, exercised an important influence in the Fifth Avenue Trust Co1npany's affairs.

BACK TO THE FARM"

Back to the farm is the slogan of an extensive movement which is being directed principally from Chi cago which is the headquarters of the Florida Promotion Go, the Northwest Opportunity League. the California Promotion committee and sundry other organizations of similar purport. All are evidently based upon the state ments of prominent men to the effect that unless conditions change mater iallv this country will soon cease to kproduce sufficient food commodities for it's own use. that the present high prizes are the result of shortages and that there is now a goodly margin of profit for agriculturists
 For many years. there has been a sfeady-exodus of country people to the ~rffies: 1t Is now hoped to reverse this current Should the effort be success fut. the resulting benefits must be great Particularly. would labor be benefited. for at present there is a scarcity of labor in rural districts, and a s11rplusage of 1t, except in some of the skilled trades. in the cities.
 Another benefit would result from the increased production of grain, meats. poultry, fruits, etc. The short aee in grain and fat cattle which is predicted as near at hand. would be (rnijeved, and the cost of living thus
 iuced.
 The number of abandoned farms here h the East would be reduced, to the Advantage of all concerned Sur plusaEe of labor in the cities would Lranieh. and as necessary result wages would advance.
 Telephones, trolley lines. rural free delivery. automobiles, etc, have changed country life very much for the better Distance has practically been annihilated, and the facilities of con1munication between towns and with the markets are nearly ideal.
 e3ck to the farm is policy which 2 is rapidly growing in favor and likely to continue in favor. Common sense backs it. With the same industry and energy required to "get a living in the overcrowded cities, it should not be difficult for any man to live contented- m and pr0sperously in the country.

HER NOBLEMAN
 GOT HER MONEY
NOW CLARA LIBBEY OF NEW HAVEN HAS HAD HERBERT LAND.

New Haven, Jan. 4.-Going to Eng land to wed an Englishman, who gave his name as Herbert Francis, but who represented to her. according to her statement, that he was in reality Sir Robert Campbell, a member Of the British diplomatic service, on an en- gagement of marriage, Miss Clara Lihbey of 51 Carmel street, this city, we'll known here as the former pro- prietress of the Libbey stationery store in Chapel street, has now had Francis arrested in Coventry, London, on a charge of converting to his own use $500 of her money. Francis boarded at the Libbey home in Carmel street a chauffeur. Miss Libbey lived at home with her widowed mother and brother. and she became acquainted with Francis. He appeared to be an excellent gentleman and finally he in- duced Miss Libbey to agree to become his wife
 With plans to be married in Eng land in view Miss Libbey sold out her business in Chapel street and gather ing together the money secured through the sale of the business. quite a tidy sum, she went over to England to meet and wed her fiance. Evident ly she discovered upon her arrival in
 
 he had represented himself to be. In- stead of becoming his bride she has now had him arrested on the ground that he has turned to his own use money which she advanced to him. how much he received in all is not known but it is said to be in the neigh borhood Of S2, 800.
 At the time of Miss ISibbey's an- nouncing the sale of her Chapel street business there was considerable won der at her action, and rumors that she was going abroad to be married were waited abroad She reached London but the marriage, it appears, never took place and Miss Libbey finds her. self out of a business and her cash as a result of her trust in a baronet who was not one.
 When arrested Francis, it is reported, was armed with a loaded revolver. He was arraigned in court at Coventry where he has been demanded for trial after a preliminary hearing.
