New York Dec. 10.-After an un- broken record of forty years as diyi. dend payer. the New York, New Hay- en and Hartford Railroad Company finally has been forced to the neces- sity of suspending further disburse- ments of it's $157 57,000,O00 of stock.
 This decision was reached late to- day after a pTotracted meeting of the directors. The action of the board, while partly foreshadowed by the re cent acute weakness of the stock, will come as a shock to thousands of in vestors.
 It is estimated that not less than Si0,000,000 of New Haven stock and bonds, as we'll as securities of affil- lated companies and real estate are held by savings hanks and other fnan- cial institutions.
 The action of the directors, most of whom were present, was unanimous. The formal statement of Chairman Howard Elliott, which gives the con clusions of the board in detail, says:
 "The New Haven is strong com pany. owning valuable property. real estate and securities worth many mil lions 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. It is difficult to sell property and securities at this time and the directors believe it is unwise to attempt to do so unil general con ditions are better.

 The rebel reports were that Gen. Francisco Villa was directing ihs movement and the rebels were advanc- ing in two colums, but would not reach Oinaga in force for probably a week.

Based on figures obtained from
cases Of tuberculosis reported In
Cleveland. New York and other cities
where thorough registration OF con

mated that for every death from con
sumption in the United States, OF
which there are on an average 200,-
coo annually, there are constantly
more than five living cases. making
at least 100000 In all. OF these mil
lion living cases. II is estimated that
the health authorities have records OF
not more than 100000 to 10000, OF
one in every eight or ten. and that.
for the great majority of cases re
corded. no hospital. home or dis.
pensary care is provided. Practically
nothing can be done to control the
spread of tuberculosis in the uHre-
ported cases.
