The board membership heretofore au-

seventeen, and az 1t had been depleted
TO sixteen by the designations when
four directors declined to run again
five new men were elected.
The stockholders heard in silence the
statement of Mr.. Elliott that on de-
creasing gross earnings economies had
effected a slight net Increase, and they
applauded when he declared that pend
ing the adoption of financial plan to
take up tito high priced short term
obligations every effort would be made
to obtain permission from the respective
State commissions OF New England for
new freight and passenger schedules OF
all kinds, while the fight to have the

Baggage Rates Discussed.

There was a reference to the baggage
question In which 1t was said that one
scheme under consideration is to charge
10 cents for handling all $50 pound pieces.
Then Mr.. Elliott turned To the parcel post.
He declared the railroads received prac-
tically nothing for carrying parcel post
packages and at the same time have
lost the express business,
He instanced tho sending OF $4,000. 900
gold from Philadelphia to Boston the
other day. II went by parcel post and
weighed tons. 1t cost the Government
nothing and the New Haven did not re-
ceive a penny for extra precaution and
responsibility. He said he wanted the
cooperation OF the stockholders and sug-
gestions from anyone.
The meeting then adjourned.

MksuGATING CASE or
JEFF LEE, noLD-UP

PUEBLO, Oct 7-An investiga-
tion into the strange story told by
Jeff Lee on the witness stand when
he was arraigned before Judge Rizer
here and entered plea Of guilty to
the charge of holding up five men in
the Triangle bar, substantially prov
ed that Lees story was true. Lee de-
clared he had no recollection of what
happened, that he performed the hold
up while in state of mental coma.
At the time he was in Jail here,
Lee wore plaster on his head where
an operation for trepanning had been
performed just few weeks previous
ly at the state penitentiary. Up to
the time of the operation, Lee had
been one of the convict gang employ
ed at the Beulah road in this county.
Judge Rizer ascertained that while
working on the road gang, the pris-
oner's mental condition had become
known to his associates and the over
seers. lie had frequent "hold-up
spasms," particularly on nights when
he would awake suddenly or would
act as if he were in a somnambulistic
state. He would arise from his bed
and go through the act of holding up
his fellow workers and would be
brought out of the somnnmbulistic
condition by his associates.
There were other Indications that
Lees mentality was in bad state,
but that, withal, he was a good work
err and made friends with all asso-
ciated with him. He finally became
so bad that he had to be sent back
to the penitentiary for the operation
on his skull.
Judge Rizer decided that, in view
of these disclosures, he would not SEN
tcnce Lee but, instead, would return
him to the Canon City penitentiary
to complete the term he was serving
when recently paroled. Lee has been
taken back to Canon City.
One way to settle the Mexican diff
ficulty might be to find General
Villas price and pay it.
