 $|OO,OO FOR HIS SERVICES

Boston, May 3-Some Of the financial transactions of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company regarding which President Mel1en de- clined to be cross-e examined, yeSter- day were taken up, today, by Louis D. Brandeis in a, roSs-examination of Edward D. Robbins, general counsel for the road.
 MT. Robbins told the interstate com merce commission that President Mel lens contributions to the Republican campaign fund of 1904 were approved by a subcommittee of two directors of the New Haven, one of whom, Charles F. Brooker, was a member of the Republican National committee which received $50,000.
 Regarding his own fee of $1OO000 for the legal services and for mould ing public opinion in favor of the uniffcation of the Connecticut trolley lines before he became general coun- seI for New Haven, the witness said that the payment was a legal fee for services and d1sbursem ents. He did not remember the amount of his dis bursements nor the number of persons to whom payment had been made by him.
 ''I was in private practice then,'' he added, "and what 1 disbursed has nothing to do with this inquiry. I rendered bill for what I thought my services were fairly worth. do not recollect how much my assistants cost me; that was my OE1 affair."
 The witness said that he had no part in the acquisition of Massachu- setts trolley properties and reiterated that he had no idea that the merger of the New Haven and the Boston &

Under the command of Miss Jose phine Beiderhasse, chief marshal, the local paraders mustered behind the banners of the seven women suffrage in this city. Those from out of town gathered under the banners of the states from which tfseys came. The order of march placed the National Woman's Suffrage Association in the lead with Miss Inez Mi1hoI1and, mounted color bearer.
 Mrs Richard c. Bur1eson, who had intended taking part in the parade, was unable to be present and several prominent women, including the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw and Miss Jane Addams. have gone to Europe for the international suffrage alliance meet ing soon to be held at Budapest.
 Next followed the congressional as- sociatton of the Washington delega- ton; then women voters from the nine suffrage States and Alaska. The latter were garbed in white with 1aur- el wreaths and golden stars in their hair and bore a1oft a map of the United States with the States marked showing where victory has been Won.''
 The women's Political Union, divid- ed into professional groups of bus mess women,'' came next. The Equal Franchise Society; the New York State
 
 delega tions from every county; the Women's Suffrage party, 10000 strong, divided by assembly districts; the Col 1ege League; the Mems League for Wonen's Suffrage; delegations from the non-suffrage States and the Pon- tical Equality Associa ton followed in the order named.
 The paraders of the Women's Suf- frage Party turned out wearing vel low George Washington straw hats adorned with yellow rosettes and ev- cry man and woman in the parade carried a yellow suffrage flag. The mems division mustered behind Oswald Harrison Willard and Mrs. Bea atrice Forbes Robinson Hale on horseback and a, cava1cade of other prominent men and women in couples.
 Conspicuous in the lineup was a little group of pilgrims commanded by 1 General Rosa1ie Jones, famous for their cross country marches-to AL bany and to Washington. They were attired in their pilgrim cloaks and hoods and their battered walking boots. Indians, cowgirls and a prairie schooner were other features which attracted attention.

sHeriden, May S.-Egbert M- Smith, a long time the proprietor of the NFerdden House and since his retire 1nent a farmer on Gravel Road, was fatally stricken with heart disease. this morning, while driving his auto mobile through Main street. Mrs. Smith was with him. As MT. Smith fell forward he swung the car around go that 1t was across the car tracks.

Maine would be illegal.
 Questioned regarding the Billiard Co.,, MT. Robbins said that 1t was not a New Haven subsidiary and, conse- quently, was a matter about which he could not be expected to testify. He was unable to tell what property the Billiard company owned further than that the validation committee of Mas sachusetts was satisfied that the com pany's assets exceed the liabilities. He had been consulted personally by MT. had not been responsible for bring ing MT. Billiard into the Boston & Maine merger situation and was un- able to tell anything regarding the Billiard company's liabilities.
 MT Robbins denied that the New Haven had any connection with the Metropolitan Steamship Company. His connection with the Metropolitan was a private counsel for the steamship company and rot as general counsel for the New Haven.
 When the cross exanninati ton of MT. Robbins was ended, c. F. Choate, Jr., counsel for President Mellen, re- marked that ''an hour and a quarter had been given over to vague and un- founded insinuations not founded on legitimate cross exaInina tion."
 Statistical testimony concerning the expenditures of the New Haven and the Boston & Maine for maintenance of ways and equipment, renewals and additions, was given by Josiah F. Hnl, an accountant who had exa1nin- ed the railroads accounts for the years 1901 to 1907 inclusive, at the di- rection Of the Massa chusetts commis- sion of commerce and industry.

THREE HELD FOR MANY AUTO THEFTS
Police Claim to Have in Custody Persons Responsible for
 DepredatiOns

The rounding up of a gang of young cbauffeurs who are alleged by the po- lice to have been responsible for the many recent thefts of equipment from cars left standing in the4street by yphy- s1cians and business men, not only re- suited in the making of detective eadQuarters appear like a garage, this morning, but the drag-net spread by the police has so far brought two we'll known citizens into the clutches of the law to explain how quantities of tires, horns, etc, secreted at their places came into their possession.
 Most prominent of the pair is Thom- Rock, proprietor of a saloon in State street, in whose cellar under the old Calumet Club building in Main street three valuabI detachable tires, a Klaxonr horn and a. tire cover was found upon information confessed by one of the thieves. John Smith, who recently opened a supply store at 86S State street, is another in whose stock were found four tires, a large brass electric hOrn a, magneto and other minor parts. Smith told his inquistt- ors that he recently left the employ of the Warner Bros. Company to start in business for himself, and alleges that he has refused to purchase many new tires and articles brought to him. He says that he purchased the goods found only after being assured in the presence of witnesses that they be- Ionged to the youths who sold them.
 Both were permitted to depart up- on their own recognizance with the understanding they appear in the city court on Monday to defend any pos sibIe charge of receiving stolen goods and to tell what they know of the thefts. Another dealer, A. L. Schav- oir. 357 Fairfield avenue, in whose pos session a tire was found, proved con clusiveIy that he was an innocent par ty, having received his piece Of the loot in exchange from Rock.
 Those held for the thefts are Albert Martin, B: Joseph Barry, 23, a chauf- feur: and Hugh Fox, 642 Fairfield averue. A years old, a chauffeur. The two latter youths have driven cars for well known persons in this city.
 It Is claimed by Detectives Hall, Fox, Hackett, Simonds, DooIey and Bray, who have jointly worked for the past two days on the many angles presented by the perplexing losses re- ported, that the loot when fully re- covered will amount to more than $500 in value. Although identffications have not as yet been completed among the goods recovered are articles re- ported as missing from the cars of pr. Edwards NJ. Smith. s69 Park avenue, which was dismant1ed some two weeks ago; pr. William J. Mclaughlin, whose KIaxon horn was stolen in State street Sunday night; Carl Beck. flor fst. and many others.
 Among the articles which were recov- cred this morning are one brass Stan
