Be improved
DETAILS ARE NOT GIVEN

in Massachusetts, Maine and

DETAILS ARE NOT GIVEN

Boston. Nov 10.-Besides voting TO
expend S5,O00,000 for additional lasd
al the Portland (Me) terminal, the
stockholders of the Boston ana
Maine railroad at special meeting
Yesterday at Boston learned many
interesting facts relative to the com.
pany. The stockholders authorized
the Boston and Maine to act jointly
with the Maine Central railroad IN
guaranteeing the payment OF the
principal and interest of the Port
land terminal company bonds the
last.named organization being owned
by the two railroads. There will be
an immediate issue Of S5,0O0,000, and
President Charles S. Mellen explain
ed that S10.000,000 had been author
lied by the Maine railroad commits
sion. The proceeds will 90 to land
purchases.
In reply 10 an inquiry from one oil
the stockholders, President Mellen
said the building Of the projected
Boston and Eastern railroad from
Beverly to Boston might hurt the
Boston and Maine railroad for
short time, but in the end he thought
that the new road would greatly In
crease the revenues of the Boston
and Maine President Mellen told
the stockholders that the greatest OBJ
stacle he had to overcome was IN
New Hampshire The Boston and
Maine had bought roads in that state
and had raised rates. The New
Hampshire railroad commissioners
had doubled the taxes on the Boston
and Maine and were now seeking to
reduce these rates.
President Mellen estimated the
floating debt OF the Boston and
Maine at between S6,00O,0O0 and ST.
100000. He said that before July /.
1912. the company must have SlO,-
O00 900 to pay this debt and TO pro-
vide for improvements, as the Boston
and Maine must keep in the same
relative position as the Maine Cen
trail Every time that the Maine
Central increases its stock and
makes improvements, he said, the
Boston and Maine must reach down
into it's treasury and pay 81 per
cent of the costs, as that is the pro
portion of the Maine Central stock
which II owns
In conclusion Mr.. Mellen said. Il
expect at the next annual meeting of
the stockholders to have much
better statement, as we intend to
keep expenses down. Subsequent
20 the stockholders meeting the di-
rectors of the road met and declared
the regular quarterly dividend of /
per cent. The directors also voted
to expend $4,000 on better freight
facilities at Haverhill

der yesterday morning of Mrs.
Henry Hall, the young wife of sup
erintendent of the aqueduct near
Yorktown Mrs. Hall was attacked
and robbed of $40 by several men
who entered her little cottage near
Yorktown, while her husband was at
work upon the acqueduct, a mile and
a half away. She was stabbed twice,
one wound being near the heart.
The young woman, a bride of but
few months, was in delicate health
and was in care of Anna Griffin, a
nurse, who was also attacked by the
intruders Miss Griffin was beaten
and kicked, but after the assailants
had fed she recovered sufficiently to
run to the construction camp and
spread the alarm. She told how four
strange men burst into the cottage
while Mrs. Hall was still abed, over
powered Miss Griffin by kicks and
blows and left her in the kitchen un-

the other three attacked Mrs. Han.
The helpless nurse heard a cry from
the patient, brief scufIle and a fall
after which the men all fed.
The nurse rushed to Mrs. Halls
room to find the woman lying on the
floor in pool of blood She was
clad only in nightrobe and the stab
wounds were deep and ugly. She
was lifeless. The four suspects ar

motive works in spite of the fact
that there are 200 strikebreakers
working there on 80 New York Cen
trail engines--work that brought
about strike of not less than 1000
boilermakers and their helpers. The
trouble all relates to the New York
Central boilermakers strike Of many
months standing.
The American Locomotive com
pany has put up high board fence
to keep strikers from molesting the
men they say are trained workmen
and no ordinary strikebreakers AL
So they have a big guard of regular
special mounted police.
Two big searchlights enable the
night shift to work with ease around
the yard and also prevents darkness
from allowing outsiders to get too
close TO the plant without being OBJ
served.
About 200 boilermakers from Cleve
land Pittsburgh and other western
cities have arrived in the city. Ser
geant O'Connor and a squad of pa
trolmen met the train at the Union
station and accompanied them TO the
works. About sc special policemen
also arrived on the train, which
brings the patrolling force in the
works up to about rs men.
Quarters have been provided for
the new men in the paint shop,
which has been equipped with all
the requisites necessary to make the
men comfortable
A rumor To the effect that the
moulders went out in a sympathetic
strike was denied by the officials Of
the company later in the day. The
men we're given a holiday to cele-
brate the victory OF the president OF
their organization, Lawrence W. Ger
rity. who was elected supervisor
from the seventh ward.
An official statement was issued
by the company in regard to the en-
ploymeht OF the new men, which is
as follows After waiting two weeks
Tor the old men to return to work,
he company has commenced to work
with new men. approximately 200
men were started today and more
will be employed as needed"
AT a regular meeting OF the Trades
Assembly last night the strike OF
the boilermakers and helpers was en-
