 Into Superior Court

States Attorney Stiles Judson told The Farmer, today, that he will ask for bench warrants for the arrests of New Haven road officials during the December term of the Superior court
 MT. Judson was at the County Court house today for the first time in sev- eTal weeks, following a vacation in Florida. He found himself confronted with a raft of work.
 He said he couldn't say just when he would ask for the warrants. They would be taken up in the regular or der of business during the present term of court
 ''In this way we will avoid the nec- essity of trying the cases out in the town of Westport," said MT. Judson.
 He was not ready to disclose the identity of the officials singled out for prosecution.
 He said that he expected to have the cases down for trial during the Febru- ary term of the Superior court.
 The eases will require careful prep aration,' said MT. Judson. For that reason we don't expect to have them ready for trial before the February term.''
 The warrants are to be asked against officials of the N. r., N. H. 6 H. R.

BULLS COMBINE WITH THE BEARS
 IN STOCK RAID
Entire Market DemOraIized When Stocks Go Tumbling
 to New Low Levels Sales, Reaching 6S3, ,OOO Shares in Two Hours, Largest For That Period in Over
 Year

New York, Dec. 10.-MiIlions of dollars of paper losses were recorded in the stock market, today when heretofore leading interests connect ed with the bull side switched over to the bear side and aided in a raid that sent the entire stock list crum b.
 ling down to new low levels for re- cent months. Rumors of the collapse of various pools and of double cross ing" by certain leading interests filled the air and the tone of the entire market was demoralized. There was a recovery of point and fractions around noon.
 The market opened weak and for 9 short time there was pretense of support from the bull leaders. For the first hour this support had a mildly reassuring effect upon the list but the bears gained the upper hand and started pounding everything down. The open support switched over and for nearly another hour the dem oralization held full sway Thou sands of shares of long stock were uncovered and margin points were passed. The greatest declines were sustained in the specia1ties.
 National Biscuit, with apparently no outward reason, fell II points to If Bethlehem Steel dropped four points to GOA. Lehigh Valley. for the first time in recent tradin ;, sue cumbed to the pressure and sIumped oH to l61 and nearly every one of the standard railroad shares was off at least one point.
 Mixed up with the selling move ment there was some decidedly dis eliminating buying by brokers who are known to represent the biggest houses on the Street and who have a reputation of putting out bargains. This group seemed to be partial to the standard shares such as Reading, Steel, Union Pacific and some of the specialties.
 One thing which caused trouble was the attitude of the banks in discrini- hating regarding collateral and bor- rowers. Only gilt edged securities could command either a hearing and as result many spectators were un- able to keep up their margins. Oth- CTS were compelled to dispose of sur plus bonds to get the r1Eoney to- make their grades good.
 As an example of the heavy selling movement, the report for the first hour was interesting. During that period, 386,29o shares of stock were sold as compared with 13O,21O for the corresponding period, yesterday and $777,000 in bonds as compared with $37S,000, yesterday.
 The sales to noon reached 6834OO shares, the largest for two hours since October 27, 1911, and at that hour there were evidences of healthy buy ing all arond the room.

MORCAN'S GIANT
 SHADOW LOOMS
 IN MONEY PROBE

Washington, Dec. 1o-J. Pierpont Morgan's giant financial shadow loom ed across the money trust horizon, to- day. when House probers of finan- cial combine learned from Walter E. Frew, a director of one of the Nor gan firms, how the Morgan Influence dominates the Bankers Trust Co.,, of New York, with deposits of nearly 170,0o0, 900. How members of the Nor gan firm control the Bankers Trust by voting trusteeship was explained.
 Frew. who is president of the Corn Exchange bank, told how he was made a director by invitation of H. P Davi- son, a partner of Morgan.
 Frew said he did not know how much the Bankers Trust Company paid to secure the Mercantile Co. He detailed how the bankers company had doubled its deposits almost every six months since it was organized in 1903 and how the firm loans nearly half it's deposits in Wall street.
 Frew also said that no banks were expelled from the New York clearing house until they had closed their doors. Failure of the Merchants & Traders Bank of New York, during the 1907 panic was recounted by Frew. He said other banks took over the branches of their defunct competitor.

 JACK SULLIVAN FOR THE MURDER
Says if He Had Kept Out of Case, ROsenthal Would
 Now be Alive Bridgie Claims He Wouldn't Have Squealed if Jack Rose
 Had Not Confessed

New York, Dec. 10-Repudiating the suggestion that he fled New York through fear of the gunmen, Bridgis Webber gambler and informer and his wife came back from Havana, to- day and he immediately proceeded to blame Jack Sullivan, now in the Tombs, for being the real instigator of the murder of Gambler Herman Rosenthal.
 "RosenthaI would be alive today IF Sullivan had kept out of the case." said Weober. But Sullivan was run ming to Becker with stories of what Rosenthal was saying or doing and he stirred up the boys who did the shoot ing with his lies. Why Becker used to ask me what I was going to do about Roeenthal and I kept putting him off. If Sullivan had been kept out of ft. Becker would have been broken for grating and everything would have been all right. There would have been no murder.

 The railroad men will be accused of manslaughter in having contributed to the death of one of the victims of the Westport wreck, whose name will be included in the warrants which the Superior court judge, presumably Judge william s. Case now presiding here, will be asked to sign.
 It had been understood until now that the railroad men would be ar raigned in the Westport town court on warrants issued by JuStice Fl. R. Sherwood of that town. But the re- turn of MT. Judson has lent a new turn to the course of the proceedings. The railroad men will be arrafgned at once before the court of final 5urisdic- ton.

FEDERAL PROBE
 GOES DEEP INTO NEW HAVEN ROAD
Dr. I. D. Warner of This City, One of Witnesses Before
 Grand Jury, Today
Mellen, it is Said, Anxious to Testify on Account of Sweep
 ing Nature of Investigation

New York, Dec. 10-Because of the sensational facts already brought to light by the federal grand jury which is Investigating the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad system and it's alleged monopolization of the traffic of New England, as well as the proposed agreement with the Grand Trunk system, that body will be permitted to devote it's entire time to the probe.
 It was learned today that a special grand jury will be enpanelled in the federal district court tomorrow to con- sider all matters which should be pre- sented to the regular grand jury. This will leave the sitting grand jury free to go as far it desires with it's probe of the New England transpor- tation situation.
 The names of only a few of the witnesses called and they compara- mitted to become known. Others have been smuggled into the federal build ing and taken by non-public routes to the grand jury room where they have told their stories and then been as promptly smuggled out again. It was reported about the corridors of the federal building that. while ostensibly the subject of the probe was the Grand Trunk agreement, the jury was also examining certain leases that the New Haven has with other companies and also the manner in which 1t abso- lutely dominates the rail and water transportation of New England.
 It was rurnored that one of the req sons President Me1len was so anxious to tell his side of the case to the Grand Jury was because the New Ha ven attorneys had learned that the present probe was much more sweep ing than had been believed at the outset.
 All of the officials connected with the investigation positively refused to discuss it in any way today. It was stated that until indictments were actually returned in open court no in dieation of what the Grand Jury has done or will do will be made pulp lie.
 The known witnesses who testified before the federal Grand Jury today included Dr. I. Dever Warner, of vice president of the New Haven; Ar thur B. Clark, secretary of the New Haven, and J. E. Delrimpie, vice pres tdent of the Grand Trunk
 Trunk, insisted again today that if the Grand Jury wants to hear from him he will t9oe only too glad'' to- tell all he knows about traffic agreements. the Grand Jury Or any other body and explain all of my roads business dealings said Chamberlain at his ho- tel. We have nothing to conceal But there is no traffic agreement in existence between the Grand Trunk and the New Haven. I am chairman of the board of the Central Vermont. In that capacity I have discussed traffic with MT. Mel1en and officials of his road. But there never was any suggestion of any unlawful division of territory or of any agreement which would be Illegal. The trouble is that there have been so many incorrect stories set on foot that many of the people believe there Is actually an agreement in existence which is, of course. not true.'

degree, based. The abvisa bility of bringing the city's present manual training system to higher degree of specialization will require special at tention and I have appointed Egbert E. McNary, of Springfield to take charge of this branch of the inquiry. MT. McNary is head of the vocation training system in Springfield and Is well qualified for the work. In this been assured the cooperation and support of naanufa cturers of your city.
 Another feature which will be taken up in detail will be the meth ods of teachers training pursued here. A large percentage of Bridge port teachers are graduates of your teachers training school. It is ob- vious, therefore, that the methods of training have an effect in molding the education system of the city. To take have selected pr. Andrew w. Elson, associate superintendent of schools in New York. He will begin work this week.
 Dr. Van Sickle said that he will have the assistance of probably half 8 dozen educators and clerks in the work. He will make weekly visits to this city and will attend sessions in many of the schools.
 In the absence of pr. Van Sickle, his assistants will push the work of pr. Van Sickle will be responsible for their accomplishments. Special exa- minations will be held and all data collected by his assistants will be sub mitted to pr. Van Sickle for review in his final report

AUTOPSY SHOWS
 HEART DISEASE

Greenwich, Dec. 10.-An autopsy performed on the body of Henry F. Leur, found dead in a roadway and from which $4O0 in money and gold watch had been taken, showed that death was due to heart disease. A coroner's inquest will be held later in the week. George L. Davis, a nephew of Leur, says that the day his uncle of Leur's daughter, Mrs. St. John, for the station and that when half way there his uncle complained of pains around his heart and turned back home. Nearly two hours later the body was found in the road by Rich ard Miller and George Clifford. The police now think that the robbery took place after death and not before as was their first suspicion. It was, they think, the work of some one who, in passing say the body and rif1ed the pockets and went his way.

BRITISH PROTEST
 ON PANAMA CANAL
 BEFORE SEC. KNOX

Washington, Dec. 10-The slow wheels of diplomacy were grinding and digesting. today, Great Britain's pro- tests against Uncle San's proposed ad- ministration of the Panama canal Through Ambassador Bryce, the state department has received the British note but, it is predicted, it will be several weeks before Secretary Knox makes formal reply.
 That Cana dian railroads, whose ships may be debarred from the canal were behind the protest was the general belief of CongreSsmen and officials, to- day. That the question would be de- cided by an agreement between the United States and Great Britain was considered likely.
 That Great Britain has said her last word against toll exemption of Amer ican vessels in this protest, with but small hope that it will result in any thing but perhaps slight modified tion of legislation already enacted, was the opinion of officials.
 Great Britain, jealous of maintaining her sea prestige, they said, would na- turally "put on a front to point out discriminations although mot believ- ing that the protest would avail any thing"
