Since early summer the lawyers of Mr..
Bixby have been gathering evidence to
aid in the defence and they declare
that when the case is concluded pub
lie opinion will be entirely on the side
of their client.
The arrest and indictment of BiXby
resulted from a police raid last spring
on the fashionable "Jonquil' apart
ment house in Long Beach. The house
was run by Mrs. Josie Rosenberg, who
was indicted on charge of pandering.
The grandeur took up the matter of al
Legations that wealthy men had an or
ganized system of ensnaring girls and
young women for immoral purposes.
The "Jonquil" was declared to be the
centre of the nefarious traffic. Mil
lionaire Bixby was alleged to have
been the most conspicuous patron Of
the "Jonquil." where he was familiar
" known as the Black Pearl"
Bixby was indicted principally on

PUZZLES OF HUMAN NATURE.

A young woman supposed to be from
Philadelphia was lately found on the
streets of Boston in the last stage Of
xhaustion-starved, in fact, within
an inch of her life. On examination
1t was found that she had plenty of
money in her possession. She was
well dressed and her appearance gave
every token OF a young lady belong
ing to a well-to-do family. Yet she
had apparently chosen to endure the
biting pangs of hunger and perish like
some miserable pauper, although rich
es were within her hand-reach. Could
the most daring fiction writer have in
vented such situation without the hope
of being deemed a credible artist?
And just as puzzling is the case of the
selfcondemned prisoner out in the
far West, who is now seeking
release through the Board of Par
dons. He lied against himself to get
into jail He confessed to wrecking a
train. He now declares he can easily
establish his innocence. The reason
he gives for his strange conduct is
that he wished to get behind the pris-
on bars as being his last hope Of
break the dope" habit to which he
had fallen victim. Today he thanks
heaven that three years in the prison
has completed his cure and made a
man of him. Sherlock Holmes him
self might be staggered before such
a specimen of human behavior Plen-
ty more might be adduced. For in
stance, this last week a man rescued
from drowning actually shot his pre-
server. A different and far better
story is that of youth who refused
i've hundred dollars reward for finding
| valuable package of money and

women whom he is said to have met

One of these was a youthful motion

ant in suits of $4,000 damages each

the young women involved in the case.
They asked damages on the ground
that the millionaire had committed

be based largely upon attempts to
show that the girls involved in the
case were known to be of immoral

N REYNOLDS SAYS
NEW HAVENMUST
SHOW SPEED
Directors Move loo Slowly to
Suit Attorney General
THREATENS TO BRING SUIT
lntmation That Chairman Howard
Elliott Is Not Being Supported
BY His Board.

Washington. 21.--Unless the direc.
tors of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad speed up their
plans for reorganization of the com
pany to conform to the Sherman an
thrust law, Attorney-General Mercy
nolds intends 10 force their hand
and take the matter into the courts.
This was made plain yesterday when
the attorney general, Chairman How
ard Elliott OF the New Haven board
of directors and John w. II. Grim of
the railroads. counsel, talked over
the New England transportation
problem at the department of jus'
ticC.
Chairman Elliott laid before Mr..
McReynolds the discoveries of the
several committees OF directors APP
pointed more than month ago to
look into questions of reorganization
of the trolly. steamship aud railroad
holdings of the New Haven. The at
torney-general indicated that he was
not disposed TO hurry into the courts
with suit to dissolve the road into
rs constituent parts, but was of the
opinion that it was getting near the
time when the directors must show
willingness not only to investigate
but 10 act.
The report of Special Assistants
J. W. Gregory and W. c. Adkins on
the New Haven has been before the
encouragement for many weeks
aud suit has been held up only be-
cause OF the promises made by Mr.
Elliott, President Hadley Of Yale
and other directors to talk over the
big problem themselves.
Mr., McReynolds has taken the posi-
ton in several antitrust suits that II
he can accomplish the end desired
by the department without resort &c
the legal proceedings and their in
evitable delays, the better for the
public at large. He has been es.
pecially concerned about any un
necessary disturbance to the trans
por,ation system of the New Eng
land states, which is for the mos,
part In the hands of the New Haven
1t Is said in official circles. however
that information has reached Wash.
ington that the earnest efforts o
Chairman Elliott TO meet the re
quirements of the government have
not been fully supported by the New
Haven directors.
