Of Corporation Begun in
New York.

straint of Trade.
SHERMAN ACT INVOKED

New York, July 2.-Civil suit TO COM
pei the dissolution OF the New Haven
Railroad under the Sherman antitrust
act was filed In the Federal Court here
today by 7. W. Gregory, acting for At
torney General Reynolds.
The civil suit has no actual connec-
ton with the criminal indictments to
be sought by the attorney general against
the New Haven officers and directors.
This Is a different phase Of the New
Haven case to be taken up later.
Restraint of Trade.
The New Haven is charged in the brief
with being a combination in restraint of
trade which controls over 90 per cent of
the rail and trolley trafic Of New Eng
land and about S. per cent OF the steam
ship transportation Of that section.
The court Is asked to separate the New
Haven from the Boston and Maine Rail-
road, from the old New England Rail-
road. from its Sound and outside steam
ship lines. and from Its trolleys In Rhode
Island and Connecticut Such general re-
lief as the court deems fit is also re-
quested. and II the court deems best the
briefs suggest the appointment Of a re-
ceiver for the road.
The bill goes much further than the
government expected to go in its agree
ment with the New Haven, now void.
for its peaceful dissolution. The New
England Railroad was acquired years
ago. and practically parallels the New
Haven Shore Line much OF the way from
Boston to New York. II the court grants
the governments petition the New
Haven. from its point of domination OF
New England transportation. will be re-
duced to little more than a line from
Boston to New York. hugging the Con-
necticut and Rhode Island coast with
branch lines running short distances into
the interior.
Preparing Criminal Suit.
District Attorney Martin. OF the Bronx.
announced today he has had agents in
Washington securing evidence on which
to bring criminal action against directors
of the New Haven road N connection
with the Westchester deal
TT makes no difference what the De
partment of Justice does with its case"
he said Il will go ahead with indict-
ments unless It seems to be in the in
terest OF the people to allow the Federal
authorities to bring the prosecution in
their own way"
The criminal action contemplated by
the government probably will be brought
in New York County. II Martin acts.
the roads directors will be under double
fire.

the passage Of United Sta battleshipS
OF the Dreadnought type. While the batJ
tleships do not d-3w over thirty feet
OF water. they are never navigatedi
through waters which do not give a
clearance of several feet under their.

of the waterway to commercial service
on August Is next will in no way inter-

IsI Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
London, July 23.-The Home Rule con-
ferees at Buckingham Palace will meet
| in their fourth session tomorrow, but
the deadlock continues between the con-
tending parties, and in Liberal quarters
| nobody believes that the negotiations can
be kept alive after tomorrow's session.
Supplementary consultations of the con-
ferees gave rise tonight TO rumors Of a
| settlement, but these are absolutely de-
MED.
Premier Asquith today added to the
discontinue of the Liberal malcontents
by including himself I'm the reference OF
the Kings obnoxious phrase responsible,
sober-minded people who are apprehen-
sive Of civil war"
\ II was learned today that Queen Mary
has been taking an active interest in
the conferences at Buckingham Palace
She has not been at the formal con-
ferences, but she has been present at the
interviews which followed between the
King and his ministers.
The premier held an audience with the
King after the formal termination OF
today's session, but he declined to dis
cuss the proceedings with his majesty un-
til the Queen withdrew. This is the
first time that Mr.. Asquith has raised OBJ
lection to the Queens presence at these
meetings. though her majesty has been
present several times, notably at a long
interview between the King and Lloyd
George. II Is believed that the Queens
sympathies are against the home rule
bill.
A sensational report from Belfast to-
night declares: 'sThe next step will be
the mobilization OF the Ulster volunteers.
There is reason to believe that orders to
this effect will be issued tomorrow or
Saturday. High officials of the pro-
visional government received word from
London tonight that the eight envoys
have arrived at the inevitable impasse
and that there is no compromise pos
sible.'

THIRD TRUST BILL REPORTED
Regulates Issuance of Stocks by In
terstate Commerce Carriers.

The third Of the administration anti
trust measures was reported to the SEN
ate yeserday by Chairman Newlands, Of
the Interstate Commerce Committee.
This measure was the Raeburn bill regu-
lating the issuance Of stocks and bonds
by interstate common carriers.
As reported to the Senate the bill an7
thoriZes the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to give or withhold consent for
the purchase of existing railroad prop
critics by other railroads and to pass

er objects for the increase Of roads
securities are listed In the bill.
The commission Is authorized, how
ever, to grant special permission for the
issuance of stocks and bonds for other
purposes where in its Judgment the ex-
penditure is thoroughly justified.
Electric railways not Joined with steam
railroads in the same system are ex-
empted from the provisions OF the bill
State railway commissions are to be
notified of all applications made on
roads for authority to increase their is
sues of securities, and the State COM

New. York, July 2S.-When William A
Brady gets back from Europe it won't
be advisable to talk to him about prize
fights And above all mention any Irish
name but Moran. It's a tender subject,
and, besides. Grace George, his wife,
doesn't like him to be encouraged in
the ways Of his unregenerate youth
when he managed Corbett and others.
Before the Moran fight Brady was an
nouncing to all who would listen that
Moran was going to do the trick. 1t is
said that he even overcame his Puritan
scruples and made a slight wager on the
event He also obtained a contract by
which he became Moran's manager
after the fight so the story
goes. Brady sent glowing cable dis
patches back to the New York news
papers about Moran.
On the morning after he became most
suddenly and violently silent and his
friends looked for him all over London
