Two Months of Talk.

The negotiations with the New Ha-
ven began more than two months ago,
shortly after Mr.. Elliott came east TO
take active charge of the operation OF
that road. There have been several
conferences between the railroad men,
the attorney general and his two as
slstants in this case
Mr.. Gregory and Mr.. Atkins spent
months in their investigation of the
New Haven and possessed a thorough
knowledge of the case. Mr.. Gregory
recently was gwen access to the New
Haven books III New York, and both
department and railroad officials had
constantly before them the recent re-
port of the Interstate commerce COM
mission on operations of the New Ha-
ven.
This is not the first time the New
Haven has escaped the hand of the
Sherman act. Several years ago the
road was investigated by the depart
ment Of justice, and was sued by the
then Attorney General Bonaparte. For
mer Attorney General Wickersham,
however, finally decided not to press
proceedings, and that suit was aban-
doned. Several months after Mr.. Nc
Reynolds assumed office he determined
that the government would sue or the
New Haven would reorganize.
Mr. Elliott had nothing to add to-
night to his formal statement He OK
pected to return to New York late to-
morrow. The working out OF details
of the reorganization will be begun at
once.
Late tonight supplemental state
ment was made public from Chairman
Elliott 5 headquarters as follows:
Mr.. Elliott said that the result of
the negotiations for the last six weeks
with the department of justice meant
numerous changes in the general struc-
ture of the New England transporta-
ton system. He believed, however, that
these could be brought about without
serious dislocation, if all parties inter
ested would work together and have pa.
tience.
1.-The attorney general, while very
properly inslstent upon an arrangement
which conformed TO the law as inter
preted by him, was broad minded in con-
sidering the business aud commercial
welfare of New England, and of tho
railroads in New England. He stated
frankly that he recognized the obliga-
tious incumbent upon the directors to
conserve, just as far as circumstances
will permit, the full value of all of the
properties, and, so far as the depart
ment properly may, will help the direc-
Cors to discharge their obligations in
protecting the stockholders in working
out the details of the plans for the
various properties,

that another statement made in the
commerce commission report will prove
true.
81 No railroad management can sue
ceed without the support OF the public
which it serves. 1t must never be for
gotten that the railroad is a public
servant in fact as well as in name, and
that the service which it renders de-
pends largely upon the treatment which
it receives from its master
HSome help is needed now from tDat
master because of the complications
surrounding the property. While these
complications arc great, the statement
made by the commission in this same
report is true-namely:
- The financial condition Of this
company calls for careful consideration
and prudent action, but gives no occa-
sion for hysteria,
1'Pending the adjustment of the de-
tails with the government and while
new financial plans are being complet-
ed, improvements of all kinds will nee
cssarily be postponed and no money
spent except such as is absolutely neces-
sary for safety"

Wise to Yield.

The New Haven management, while
1T could not agree fully with all of the
views of the department of Justice, new
erthelcss felt that, in the interest of a
peaceful solution of the New England
railroad situation, it was wise to Yield,
and TO work In full harmony with the
department in bringing about an ad-
lustment. While that is going on, the
New Haven management hopes that all
interested whether owners, EMPLOYEES
or patrons of the road, will cooperate
in every reasonable manner to maintain
the integrity and welfare Of all of the
properties.
"The general business and transpor-
tation situation in New England is diff
ficult. but the properties are inherently
sound, and with courage and patience
will, without doubt, be made not only
good properties 10 serve the public. but,
N due time, better properties for re.
turning an income to the owners OF the
securities.
''There is, of course, a very large
amount Of detail to be considered in
reaching fna' conclusion as to meth

work will be undertaken in fair spirit
by the department of justice and the
New Haven company. As the interstate

SECRETARY HOUSTON,

After a service of sixteen years as Uncle Sam's Secretary. of Agriculture, Hon. James Wilson was dislodged last March from the office he had occu- pied so long, and Prof. David Frank lin Houston. of Missouri. moved in. There were several good reason for this apparently heartless action. With Wilson in the White House, and another in the cabinet, in the person af the Secretary of Labor, there were enough Wilson's in Washington gov ernmental circles. Another reason was that Hon. James Wilson was Republican. while Prof. Houston was a Democrat So, it happens that the former chancellor of Washington Uni versity, St. Louis. will celebrate his forty-eigf1Sh birthday today as a mem Der of the Presidents official family.
 Secretary Houston is the s'baby', of the cabinet, although there isn't much difference between his age and that of Secretary of Commtrce Redfeid, aged hfty-five Mr. Houston has long been prominent as an educator. but he has never played an active part in politics. Not much has been heard of him since he assumed office less
 than a year ago, but he has been strictly Ion the job.'' One of his lat- est moves has been to start an of9i- cial investigation into the high cost
 of beef, and he has appointed a com mittee to look into the matter. The investigators will follow the steer froll, the farm or ranch to the consumer, and will study all the questions in volved in the production, transporta- ton, slaughter and marketing of meat products.

sBRUNO DAYs CELEBRATED BY THE RADICALS OF ROME TODAY

ssBrnno Day. will be celebrated in Rome to-day by religious, political and economic radicals of ali kinds. com rr,ernorating the anniversary of the burning of Giordano Bruno, on Feb. II, 16eo. Some years ago.a statue of Bruno. called by his admirers the first martyr to free thought. 7 was ertcted in the Eternal City. near the Vatican, and ever since the anhiver- arg or his tragic death has been Pb- served, with parades to the nonu- ment and fiery zoratery. European free thinkers have adopted the year 1660. when Bruno paid the penalty Of his heresy, as the beginning of a new era. called E. M; and signifyinE the Era Of Man. This new calendar has. gained a few adleren on this side of the Atlantic. but has never been generally adopted, even by agnostie pubaications Thaddeus Burr Wake man. the distinguished lawyer posi- twist and author, was the leader in 2 movem ent started some years ago to induce American free thinkerssto to adopt the new reckoning; but the project was a failure
 Although Brunos neresies were mild and innocuous Tn comparison with the free thought of today, he was one of the boIdest and most indepen- dent thinkers of his ago. He was born in NoIa about 1850, ana was ed- ,acated for the priesthood. He en- tered the Rornlnican order, but his re- ligious doubts. and his criticisrns of the monastic orders, compelled him to leave his 1nonastry and Italy. He went to Geneva and embraced the doctrines of Calvin, but there, too, he found that doubt and free discussion were not in favor. The Rome Of Ca1vinis1n," :" where servetis had been burned for heresy. offered no safe ref uee for such a man as Bruno. and. af- ter two years. he went to Paris
 Tn the French capital the first Of modern freethinker CTS began the deveI- opment of a philosophy, which. while not antagonistic to religion as we know 1t now. was then consiaered the limit of boldness. His lectures on philosophy in the French capital won for him many friends and followers. but also bitter enemies in high places. For such man. in such an age there could be nc refuge, although his next stopping place, England, offered a lar ger measure of hospitality than he had received elsewhere. Sir Philip Sid- ney and other famous Englishmen of tho day became the friends of the Italian philosepher. and the two years Bruno spent in England were per hapa the happiest of his life.
 Back in Parfs. Bruno resumed his lectures, and later visited and taughi in various towns in Germany. His heart hungered for his native Italy and in 1892 he returned to Padua and afterward to Venice There hs preached and taught. and there pow er9u1 foes soon determined to suppress both teacher and teachings. The fingers of fate closed upon him, and he was convicted as heretic. NJ torture could make him recant. and calm and brave, he was led from hi cell to a scamcId piled high with flag &ota.
