Receivership Rumor Drives
Prices Down
to 35
NEW HAVEN PRICE
BREAKS TO 653s
These Are the Lowest Prices
on Record for Both
Roads

Boston, Dec. l3.--The slump in the Sc
curities of the New England railroads
continued with little abatement yester-
day. Thursday it was New Haven which
recorded the sensational drop. Yester-
day Boston & Maine held the sceptre of
the stage with fall of eight points.
The stock opened yesterday morning
at AZ, off a point over night, and then
began to sag. Small lots of one, two,
five and ten shares each, evidently the
holdings of investors, came on the mar
ket in rapid succession and found little
demand by the close of the session q
quotation of 80 had been recorded.
No definite developments came to light
to account for the decline in this issue,
but the 'street" was full of disquieting
rumors concerning receiverships, federal
suits and the like.
The drop in Boston & Maine started
fresh liquidation in New Haven. Liqui-
dation broke out in this issue anew and
the price got down to 659s off 31s points
more.
Fitchburg preferred dropped seven
points to IS.
Yesterdays lows in both New Haven
and Boston & Maine were the lowest in
the history of the roads.

ELLA FLAGG YOUNG
TO BECOME EDITOR
But Women Keep Up Fight to Re-
instate Her as Chicago
School Head.

Chicago, Dec. l3.-Mrs Ella Flagg
Young yesterday made the definite an
nouncement that she will not attempt
to regain her position as superintendent
of the Chicago public schools, and that
she has accepted an offer to become edu-
cational editor of Chicago newspaper.
Indignant women,s who issued call
for mass meeting of protest against
the dismissal of Mrs. Young by a secret
ballot, declared that her announcement
will not affect their movement At a
mass meeting to-day they will demand
the resignation of the schol board mem
bers who forced Mrs. Young to quit be-
cause, it is alleged, she refused to be
made the tool of political clique.
Discussing the proposed campaign OF
women to obtain the resignation of the
new superintendent, John ID. Shoop, and
her reinstatement, Mrs. Young said:
"As | see it, what the women want to
do is impossible. Under the pension law
it would not be possible to remove Mr..
Shoop. He is legally elected and can
not be removed without trial for Just
cause. I appreciate the sympathy of the
people of Chicago and of my other
friends more than can express"
No single incident in the politics of
recent years in this city has caused such
excitement as the forced retirement of
Mrs. Young. The subject, it is said, is
bound to assume Importance in the al
dermanic elections next spring. Barratt
OHara, lieutenant governor of Illinois,
has suggested a strike by school children
as protest against the action of the
school board

American Bell Service I'M
proves Under This
Condition
TESTIMONY
OF WITNESSES
In Federal Litigation-Suit
Against Indepen-
dents

News York, Dee l2.-The immediate
reduction OF telephone rates. reconstruc-
ton OF old plants and prompt improve
ment of service so as to compete with
modern methods invariably followed the
invasion by independent companies of
the field OF the Bell system, according to
testimony adduced at the hearing here in
the government suit, under the anti
trust law against the American Tele
phone & Telegraph company and Others
to dissolve the purchase of independent
companies in the west. The suit was
brought in Portland, Ore, and hearings
have been held in Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and other cities. Through d. A.
Reynolds, who has for many years past
been interested in the organization and
operation OF independent telephone com
panies throughout the country G. j.
Smyth, special assistant attorney gen.
eral, sought ~ show the results OF COM
petition in Michigan, in several western
states. and in New York state, where the
witness has engaged in the telephone
business. Mr.. Reynolds declared that
independent companies had always been
successful, except in few cases where
they have been improperly managed. He
related instances where the independents
have been bought out by the Bell sys-
TEN, pointing to Albany, n. Y, where he
said, the defendant company obtained
control on competing lines, and recalled
that recently the business men OF that
city had complained to the public service
commission regarding the service.
DO you know anything that will take
the place OF competiaion in producing
efficiency in telephone service?"
Il do not think that anything can pos.
sibly do it," the witness replied. Even
if the public service commission actually
wanted to do it, they couldn't" Illus
trsting this point, Mr.. Reynolds referred
to the sworn statement of the auditor Of
the New York Telephone company which
states that the capital per telephone
amounted to S43l. 20 and that by paving
per cent on the capital stock they can
not reduce rates without infringement
on their securities.
Counsel for the American Telephone &
Telegraph company caused the witness
to tell in detail of his connection with
the Great Eastern Telephone company,
the holding company of two paper cor
porations, which contend that they hold
franchises for the operation of telephone
systems in greater New York. Mr. Rey-
nolds told of the fight the Bell system
made against his companies in Brooklyn
some years ago when the New York &
Eastern company established central
office, put up poles and wires, later to be
chopped down by the Bell company He
also went into detail about the litigation
which is still pending between the Bell
system and his companies which still
claim the right to operate telephone
lines in this city.

LIFE HEIGHTENED
BY HEALTH CRUSADE
Has Saved Many Life Insurance Com
panies, Says DR.. William T.
Sedgwick.

New York, Dec. l3.-Tbe increase in
longevity wrought by the modern public
health movement doubtless has saved
many an insurance company from ruin,
said DR.. William T. Sedgwick of Boston
in an address yesterday at the annual
meeting of the association of life in
surance presidents. DIR. Sedgwick is pro-
lessor of biology and public health in
the Massachusetts, institute of tech
nology.
The speaker asserted, however, that in
the health movement there was likely to
be for some years to come much "lost
motion" The emphasis, he said, is put
in the wrong place.
"Pure food, for example, is a worthy
subject of consideration, but pure water
and pure milk are infinitely more i'm
portant to any community than pure
spices, pure jellies and pure baking
powders he declared. "The seizure of
tainted turkeys at Thanksgiving time is
doubtless desirable and eommendsble,
but il is far less important than the
scientific inspection and establishment of
public baths and gymnasia."

Washington, Dec. l3--To hold back
the rising waters of Gatun lake from
overlooking into the Atlantic ocean it
has become necessary to raise the rim
of the lake to los feet above sea level

begun within few days. This dixie,
which will run between the head waters
of the Sri and Lagarto rivers, will be
approximately 900 feet long. The sur
face of the earth at the lowest point is
at present 7s.4 feet above sea level. The
fill will be between los feet contours on
knobs at the ends of the Saddle. When
completed this earthwork will be fifteen
feet wide at the top, with slope of one

WOMEN COURAGEOUS
Story of Heroism Contrasts
Crews Cowardice.

NEW YORK. Oct IA story of
heroism unequaled in the history of
the world was brought to port here to-
day by the Grosser Kurfuerst when
she arrived with survivors OF the
burned liner Volturno. The courage
of the women in the face OF death on
burning ship was in marked con-
trast with the cowardice of the crew.
Although ship officers pleaded with
the women to jump into the sea. so
they could be picked up by the small
boats sent out by the rescue fleet.
they refused to leave the burning
ship. The terror stricken men needed
no urging to jump. With cries OF
fright they leaped into the waters, and
after they had swamped five boats,
the others had to draw off. All OF
the survivors on the North German
Lloyd liner were men. Eighty-three
of them were passengers and the re-
naming twenty-five were members Of
the crew.
