Boston, Aug. 13-Ts w. Gregory, special assistant to the United States attorney general in the proceedings against the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. today Is sued a statement intended to correct any misunderstanding regarding the adjustment reached this week between the government and the railroad.
 The department of justice, MT. Greg ory said desired that three points be made clear.
 "The department,' he said, "has not insisted upon any shortening of the time within which the New Haven shall part with it's control of the Bos- ton & Maine. the exact time provided in the original agreement being ad- hered to.
 "The plan now in process of con- summation does not involve an aban- donment by the government or by the New Have directors of their reSpec- tive positions heretofore taken as to the passage of the so-caned String hill by the last legislature. The orig inal adjustment is to be carried out New Haven, shall part with its hold ings in the Boston and Maine. A de- cree is to be entered adjudging these holdings in violation of the sherman act, but not determining at this time the terms on which. they shall be PeAA ECu IS ANS" AAe1NSAl AAeAS til July 1, 1915. to obtain from the Massachusetts legislature legislation acceptable to the New Haven in which case the Boston and Maine stock is to be sold substantially as hitherto agreed failing such acceptable 1egis- lation the federal court is, to fix the terms of sale. e
 This change from the original plan was suggested by the New Haven dur ing the past week. There is no foun- dation for the statement that it's rep resentatives made the same suggestion just prior to the filing of the govern mentss bill in equity"

PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.

 ToddIing along through q pest-breed-
 ing street, Mites of our poor human race, Scorched by the blast of the wither1ng Forcing a wearisome pacei SeehIng a spot where the torments
 grow less.
 Mothered by many a pain. Nodding the while as death comes to
 caress,
 InnOcens yearly are slain Knowing no breath of the God-givinE
 air,
 Songs of the clear-throated birds, Signing of trees. or the flowers so fa1r, Lowing of contented herds: Children among us are weary for these, Turning our backs to the cry, Haunting our wealth we become Se-
 bauchees. Meanwhile the innocents die. |; Missions for those in the far-svsy Useful. no doubt. in their sphere Nevertheless could use some of theif bands,
 Succoring misery here. God gives the sunshine, the field, lake
 and wood,
 Limiting not the supply, Shirking a task as no real Christian
 should,
 We let the innocents die James T. Sullivan. in the Boston

EMERGENCY SHIPPING BILL
 TO MEET OPPOSITION.
Champions of American coatswise Slipping in Both Houses Will Fight Adoption of Report.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Champions of American coatswise shipping ia the house and senate today let it be known that they would oppose bitterly the adoption of the conference report on the emergency shipping bill, winch would admit foreign built ships to the coastwise trade if they take American registry within the next two years:
 Senator Perkins and Representatives Mann and Greene refused to sign the conference report. which was agreed to early in the day and will lead a fight against it's adoption.
 The proposed legislation is the first in which it ever was seriously sug- gested that foreign built ships be granted the right to participate in coastwise trade. which has been re- served, exclusively for vessels built in American yards. The existing law was critivized repeatedly in the recent de- bate on the repeal of Panama tolls ex- emption, and the present action is re- garded in some quarters as a continua- ton of the Panama Canal Tolls fight.
 Senator O'Gorman submitted the con- ference report late today, but action on it was deferred until tomorrow.

TO THE EDITOR
An Exception.

Mir. Editor: Lives of great men ali re1nind us we can make our lives sublime and, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time.
 This could hardly be true of us, if our greatness consisted in becoming expert swimmers, if we should dash into the pillows at an ocean beach when they were madly rushing in upon us.
 The footprints of Longfellow's poetic feet are indestructible on Mount Pat- nassus, but the young poet of today should not attempt to find his foot prints on the beach when he tri- umphantly returns to it, after rescuing from ''the mad sea waves" the heroine of one of his poems.
 If he is anxious for footprints" he may find them with his rejected MS. at the editors office, with the editors compliments to call again.

A PRAYER

In all that host of little ones
 How shall I know fmy own? scarce had learned his precious face,
 So quickly was 1t flown I had but clasped- his tiny hands
 And smoothed the silk-soft hair, And blessed him as he lightly slept.
 So fragile and so fair There never was child so craved,
 so welcomed to the world; We thought to keep him safe and closa.
 His spirit-piniens furled. I hold the clothes of lawn and lace
 He did not need to wear, Within my arms. against my heart
 And try to feel him there. O Mary Mother Mary sweet
 This do I ask of thee: That thou wilt find that little child

Michigan Takes Ball to Five
Yard Line Twice; Cant
Put It Over.

East Cambridge, Oct. 31.-Percy
Haughton's Harvard team was neld to
z to o score today by Michigan, in
the biggest intersectional football
contest of the year. Old-fashioned
football was used, and the $4,000 peo'
pie who anticipated a spectacular
clash and sensational developments
saw only wonderful line plunging and
a few end runs.
Three forward passes.
The men of Haughton got away
with three successful forward passes
out of four attempted, one Of which
brought them to 'Michigan's 1S-yard
line. Five times the Crimson backs
plunged at the Michigan line, and
landed the ball on the fve.yard line.
Then Hardwich practically walked
over the goal line for the only score
of the game. He kicked the goal.
Michigan Threatens.
Twice Michigan carried The ball TO
within five yards of the Harvard goal,
once on first down The thousands of
Michigan fans went wild, thinking a
tie score certain. Splawn, Hughitt
and Maulbetch fought and struggled
to go over, but each time the Har.
ward line stiffened and took the ball
on downs.
Harvard Didn't Uncover
With Yale and Princeton scouts in
the stands, the Harvard team was
not forced to uncover any of IS cher
ished plays. After the game there
was great demonstration, in
which the Michigan rootres joined.
All through the game Michigan S
plunging attack, with Hughitt and
splawn figuring prominently, seemed
destined to bring results to Michi-
gan's anxious followers, bu. III the
shadow OF their own goal posts the
Harvard forwards became transform-
ed, figuratively, to a wall Of impene.
trable qualities, throwing hack the
wonderful driving attacks of the VOL
verines.
Brilliantly squirting in the second
period, Harvard brought it's cheering
adherents to their feet by wonder
full forward pass, ending in the only
touchdown of the game.
