Hennessy Accuses Gaffney.

Hennessy's intimation was that
Murphy, when called upon to give full
details as TO all his relations with Gaff
ney, would swear that Gaffney was a
one-thrd partner on the sixteen up
state road contracts.
Suffers former investigator added
that Murphy's evidence was Of more
importance i'm the general graft inquiry
because Of the influence IL would have
on bringing other contractors TO the
front TO tell Of their relations with
Gaffney than for It's own bearing on
the Gaffney connection, important as
that might be
In spite of Murphy's $4,000 commits
sion collected from the Warren Broth
ers, Hennessy said the Boston firm did
not ultimately sell It's material TO the
contractors on the two roads referred
to by Murphy on Tuesday. Those con-
tracts were for twenty-five miles Of
road on Long Island, Hennessy said,
and after G. Gordon Reel was dis
missed by Sulzer, and before John y.
Carlisle took charge. Hennessy himself
had investigated and had those con-
tracts held up.
He found that the specifications
called for "cementitious Hudson River
gravel" for the foundation. and War

ented article specified for the top, Hen

Hall have been very close. Suisse
quently the contracts were re-let. Hen
messy said. at price or S2O,O1o.

Presidents Statement.

1.-The New Haven is a strong COM
pany, owning valuable property, real
estate and securities worth many mill
ions of dollars. Some of this real es-
tate and the property represented by
the securities and the securities them
selves can in time be marketed, and
thus strengthen the cash resources OF
the company. 1t is very difficult to sell
property and securities at this time
and the directors believe it is unwlse TO
attempt to do so until general condi-
tions are better.
During the calendar year 1918 the
road has already paid dividends OF
per cent, amounting to $S,65G36l 3D.
For the four months of the fiscal year,
July l to October 81, 1918, the income
available from all companies upon
which the New Haven can draw, not
counting the Boston & Maine, Maine
Central and Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company, which need
ell their resources. is. in round num-
bers. S3,39O,0 600. Estimating that the
net income for November and Decem-
Der will be 100000 makes a possible
total income for six months of $3.50
600. Deducting from this the IL per
cent dividend, S2,356, 76S paid on Sep
TENDER so, leaves 81 ,533,231, all of
which is required for working capital.
The company is now entering upon
those months where the volume of
business is apt. under normal condi-
lions, to be less than during the months
July to November inclusive. The arbi-
tration of wage disputes in the last
eighteen months has resulted in in
creases in pay that will increase ex-
penses for the present fiscal year
between 100000 and 100000 for the
same number Of employees.

Mr. Eidlitz, like others who spoke IN

idea OF having "A state commission manage
all the funds for compensation, instead OF
The employer paving lis own claims,
would tend to destroy the pleasant rela-
tons now existing in most instances be-

THE railways" said Mr.. conant, have
not adapted their charges, as have other
industries, TO the change in the purchas-
Ing power of money. They have con-
tinued to sell their services for an amount
which has remained comparatively hN"o
in money but has declined greatly III
purchasing power. They are not, there
fore, OH an equality with other Industries
that are receiving "A much less proper
ton or share OF the proceeds Of the eco

which they formerly received. and they
are less capable OF contributing their

fettered competition with other countries
in the field of production and interna-
tional commerce
John G. Walber, OF the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad, testified as to the wage
increases which have been made by the
railroads participating In the petition for
an increase OF freight rates. In part he
said:
Estimates for twenty-nine OF the thir-
ty-eight railroad systems. parties TO this
proceeding, show an increase in wages for
1913 over 1910 Of is,6ls972 Al, due 10 changes
I'm rates of pay and working conditions.
"In addition TO the increases up 70 June
20. 1919, careful estimates show that the
increases in wages recently granted to the
firemen, conductors and trainmen will add
not less than $4,000 more to the eX-
penses OF the railroads parties to the re-
spective arbitration proceedings. this esti-
mate being based on the volume Of bust
ness for the calendar year 1872.

IL the Americfn race is to be

sSIf the work Of the day began with

We Americans make money faster,

old-fashicsned mother nation from

more things really worth while.
There must be sanity in our work

likely to fall like the stick, and in
dications already point to that end.
The prediction Of the Republican is
that Mr. Edwards will not be chosen
for this most exalted position. Men
OF large means have determined to
secure the place and cash may

chase of the senatorship is dis

Highest Efficiency

Few persons who see the tele-
phone wire traced over the land
scape realize that on this thin sup
port Is strung one of the marvels
of modern science. The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph com.
pany has in operation an invention
that permits several messages be-
ing sent in each direction over the
telephone wires. The messages are
carried by circuits that do not In
terfere with each other and each
message travels as II upon a wire
of its own. The system by which
this plan of duplex circuits is
maintained permits telegraph and
telephone messages to pass each
other on the same wire and other
mysterious performances that would
have been declared impossible by
the early pioneers in the telephone
Telephone and Telegraph company
business. The Mountain states
operates in seven OF the western
states and its system has reached
such a high state of efficiency as
to be copied widely by the tele-
phone companies in the east. Ow-

upon a telephone system only the
