ard Elliott's first meeing yesterday
with the stockholders of the New
Haven railroad, of which he has just
been chosen president, was a stormy
session. 1t was special meeting
called to authorize the issuance OF
$67,552, 400 in per cent convertible
debenture bonds to provide for the
roads floating debt, and several of
the stockholders had warm words to
say regarding the financial manage
ment of the road. .-..
It developed that the financing of
the bond issue, in charge of j. p. Nor.
gan & Co. would cost per cent, and
some OF those present criticized this
arrangement, declaring that the issue
should have been offered to stock
holders first. Other speakers express
ed surprise that the road had float
ing debt, and urged publicity of the
financial affairs of the, road. particu-
larly as to the accounts of subsidiary
lines, salaries paid the president and
vice presidents and amounts charged
to legal expenses"
The bond issue finally was approved

foreign affairs his message on the
Mexican situation, which he will de-
liver personally tomorrow to the joint
session of both houses OF congress-.
The conference adjourned after II

and listened to free discussion tor
over an hour. The president asked
for suggestions and comments, and
nearly everyone had something to
say. President Wilson announced
that nothing so far as known will in,
terfere with the scheduled reading
Of the message.
This message is one of friendship,
not of hostility, and precedes a pol
proclaims toward the sympathetic
feeling that the United States gov
ernment and people have for the
Mexicans. 1t records the views Of
the limited States on constitutional
government; this is unalterable to
the governments set UP by irregular
and arbitrary acts and ambitious in.

that the government of Victoriano
