TO ASK WARRANTS FOR
NEW HAVEN OFFICIALS
Connecticut District Attorney
Promises to Act on Finding
in WeStport Wreck.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune


Bridgeport. Conn, Dec. 10.-State At
torney stiles Judson said tonight at his
home. in Stratford:
During the current term of the Supe-
rior Court / will ask for bench warrants
against certain persons connected with
the New York. New Haven & Hartford
Railroad charging them with criminal
negligence, in keeping with the finding
of Coroner John J. Phelan in his inquiry
as to the causes of the wreck of the
Springfield express at Westport on Octo-
Der g."
Mr.. Judson was not prepared 10 say
who the individuals named in the first
bench warrants would be, but it was
limited that they would be for persons
who were directly responsible for the
maintenance of the short crossover at
Westport after the Interstate Commerce
Commission had recommended the re-
moval of such crossovers as a result OF
its investigation of the causes OF the
Federal express wreck i'm this city in
June 1911.
IT is expected that these trials will bring
out the inside story of railroad manage
ment, and II is limited that the evidence
may lead TO the issuance Of warrants for
some Of the executive heads Of divisions.
The plan TO ask for bench warrants Will
eliminate the necessity of holding prelim-
mary hearings before a justice in the
town of Westport. where the Springfield
express wreck occurred
MIR. Judson returned from Florida yes
terday, and Assistant State Attorney
Galen s. Carter and Grand Juror Harry
r. Sherwood, Of Westport, informed him
OF the nature of the complaint they had
been able to prepare from the exhaustive
finding of Coroner Phelan.
Legal authorities are Of the opinion
that the state is going to strike snag
in its attempt to find the official who is
responsible for the maintenance of the
short crossover. Coroner Phelan tried
10 bring out at the inquest why the com
pany had not needed the warning Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission against
the short crossoyers. Vice-Presdent f.
G.. Buckland, while testifying before the
coroner, said that he had no knowledge
of the company ever receiving com
munication from the Interstate Com
merce Commission that could be taken
as being an order for the company 10
change its tracks.
Judge William S. Case. Of Hartford, is
now holding the December term of the
Superior Court in this city. Coroner
Phelans finding was upon the death Of
Mrs. Mary Ransom. and it is understood
that the charge OF criminal negligence
will be based upon the death of one of
the daughters of Anthony n Brady, OF
Yonkers. y. Y, who was another OF the
victims of the wreck
The case will establish a precedent in
the Jurisprudence of this state. The PEN
atty for manslaughter and criminal neg
ligence has recently been increased from
ten TO fifteen years.

BRITISH RAILWAY STRIKE
GROWS; 5000 MEN OUT
Employees Accept Mediation and
Are Prepared to Submit
Matter to Arbitration.
fBy Cable 10 Tho Tribune. ]

London, Dec. 1.-THE right to get
drunk when off duty strike had a
remarkable development yesterday
when the Home Secretary intimated
he would himself investigate the case
OF Knox, though why one drunken
mans case should be inquired into
more than any others is not very
evident. The Daily Graphic" warns
Mr.. McKenna that in making this In
vestlgation he is establishing a prece-
dent whereby any trade unionist may
make any conviction against him in
the courts a thing at which to snap
his fingers. A retrial will mean that
the trade unionists are setting up a
special law for themselves.
Many more men employed by the
North Eastern Railway Joined the
ranks OF the strikers yesterday, and
It is. now estimated that 5000 men
are out, in addition to the thousands
engaged in the iron and coal trade and
other industries, who are thrown out
OF employment by the cessation OF the
train service. The company has is
sued 5000 summonses against the
strikers.
At a meeting of Darlington railway
men last night a telegram was read
from j. f. Williams, general secretary
Of the Amalgamated Society OF Rail-
way Servants, stating that negotia-
tons were being opened up at New
castle between the men and the raR-
way company. A delegate who at
tended the conference at Newcastle re-
ported that the Lord Mayor of New
castle is seeking TO arrange a meeting
between the men and the company. Hs
stated that the strike committee ac'
copied mediation and were prepared t.
submit the matter to arbitration.

Plaintiff in Breach of Promise
Action Arrested When Wit

PRISONER A TRAINED NURSE
Surprise Sprung After Woman
Testified He Was Dead and
Told the Jury of
His Funeral.

The suit Of Mrs. Helen Cauley
against David A. Sherard for S2o,VO
damages for alleged breach of promise
looked like Just an ordinary, tiresome
case when It came for trial before
Justice Platzek yesterday. Suddenly
something happened that made 1t more
like an act from a melodrama. When
It was over Mrs. Cauley was under ar
rest by order Of the court.
Mrs. Cauley, who is a nurse In the
employ Of the Board of Health, had
testified to the death of her husband,
Andrew j. Cauey, and had even told
OF his funeral, whereupon through ar
rangement with counsel for the de-
PENDANT In the breach Of promise suit
a detective from the District Attor-
ney's office entered the courtroom
with Cauley, who identified the plain
tiff as his wife-with whom he was
living and whom he left only an hour
or so before. He seemed bewildered
at the entire proceeding. Through 1t
all the alleged widow and alleged vic
tim Of the broken promise sat calm
and unaffected. even when she was
sent 10 the office of the District At
torney.
Mrs. Cauley and Sherard. who is in
the trucking business, met while the
latter was a patient in the French
Hospital and Mrs Cauley was a nurse
there. That was in the summer Of
1910.

Not Related to President.

Mr.. Buckland said the director
named Taft on the railway board was
Robert w. Taft. Of Providence, who
was not related TO the President. He
could not say whether Henry w. Taft
had ever been employed in any legal
capacity by his company
Members Of the committee objected
TO hearsay testimony in which the
Presidents name was mentioned.
II don't propose to sit here and listen
TO any more Of this unless these state
ments are to be supported" said Rep
resentative Pou, OF North Carolina. II
think we ought TO have the man who
wrote this letter here
Later the letter was stricken from
the record by unanimous consent.
Mr. White read copies Of letters he
exchanged with President Taft when
the suit against the New Haven In
connection with the Boston & Maine
merger was dropped. The President
wrote that the proceedings were abap-
doned because there was no reasonable
ground TO suppose that verdict could
be won in court. Replying 10 sug-
gestion by Mr. White that such things
as the action Of the administration In
this case was making Progressives,
the President said 'the trouble with
the gentlemen who class themselves IS

certain all the facts before reaching a
conclusion"
Mr. White said that the capitaliza-
ton OF the New Haven system had
grown until it exceeded $3.50 100000.
Not more than half OF its property
consisted of railroads. and 1T Is ready
TO go into anything" he added. Mr..
White submitted, with a mass Of other
statistics and reports, a report by
Louis D. Brandeis, Of Boston, on the
New Haven systems holdings and
operations.
Henry T. Davidson, representing
Worcester, Mass, made brief state
ment outlining Worcesters connection
with the Southern New England prof.
ect He said the road never would
have been allowed to come into the
state or city If convincing assurances
had not been given that IT would be
completed and put into operation in
1913.
A score Of people we're waiting to
be heard when the committee adj
journed tonight and the hearing
probably will not be concluded before
late tomorrow or Thursday.
