An old fashioned big crop of cattle
appeared for the trade at the start this

about 1900 head, or considerably more
than twice the volume OF the run here
at the outset last week.
This supply was about 5000 more

arrive for the Monday market, and
buyers had the best advantage in the
trade that has been offered them at
the opening any week thus far this

LAYING PLANS TO
SMASH MONOPOLY
TWO SCHEMES ARE SUGGESTED
AGAINST TIE NEW HAVEN
RAILROAD.

BOSTON, Nov. 24.-Two plans to
smash the New Haven railroads mo-
nopoly in New England have been
suggested here within the past forty
eight hours.
one plan. and the only one likely
to bear fruit, relate 10 the btll nled
with the Massachusetts legislature by
Edmund ID, Goldman, prominent
Boston lawyer. Mr. Goldman petitions
for the adoption of a law auth orizing
the Commonwealth Of MASSACHUSETTS,
10 take the Boston and Maine rail-
road away from the New Haven syn
dictate. by acquiring all of the securi-
ties of the Boston railroad holding
company. or by disposing OF the Sc
curities In such way az to insure
Independent control and management
of the Boston and Maine system.
IT was through the holding COM
pany that the Morgan interests got
the whip hand by absorbing the Bos-
ton and Maine, and they put the
strange hold on New England by
sitting the threatened and long-look-
editor competition of the Grand Trunk
on the eve of that roads 'entry into
Boston.
The other plan calls for a federal
inquiry into the new England railroad
dilemma in Boston United states
District Attorney Asa L. French, in
charge in the Boston district. is sug-
gested as the best man to conduct
such an inquiry.
The sponsors Of the inquiry plans
are headed by william b. Lawrence,
a lawyer. a close student of the rail-
road problem, and the largest indi-
vidual shareholder In the Boston and
Maine railroad.
Mr.. Lawrence says the whole mat
ter is now up to President Taft
Let Taft remove himself from the
lid. he said. and -irt him see to IL
that Mr.. Wickersha m keeps his hands
