Criminally Negligent

Washington, D. G., July l3.-One of

American railroading is the interstate

road financial affairs reported to-day to
the Senate.
| In the report, which consists of 10000
words and which probably is the most
drastic in terms of any ever made Sy
the commission, the New Haven's direct
ors are pronounced criminally negligent.
Evidence pointing to violations of the
law has been transmitted to the district
attorneys in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and New York and to the United
States department Of Justice.
A reasonable estimate of the loss to
the New Haven by reason Of waste and
mismanagement. says the report, will
amount to between $60,00O,00o and $780,
100000, The directors should be made
individually liable to the civil and Grim
inal laws for the manner in which they
discharged their trust
All the commissions structures were
upon the management OF the New Haven
under Mellen. The commission saws
Chairman Elliott and Walker d. Hines,
the special counsel, have co-operated
with the commission and rendered sub
stantial assistance throughout the in
vestigation.
From the facts developed in the inves-
tigation, the commission says, it would
seem that there is little question con-
eerning the recovery OF a substantial
amount of the stockholders money that
has been wasted.
The directors cannot without account
ability, the commission says, deplete a
treasury in ventures which

This investigation has demonstrated that

hievous in its effects.

CLAIMS HUERTA is
READY TO RESIGN
In Order to Save His Country from the
Horrors of Civil War-When
the Act Will Be Done Is
NJ
Not Certain.

Vera Cruz, July l3.-To save his coun
try from the horrors of civil war and
his capital from capture and, perhaps
sack bv victorious army, General Huer'
ia intends to resign the provisional
presidency and leave Mexico. This state
ment was made yesterday by Roberto
Esteya Ruiz. Mexican sub-secretary Of
foreign affairs.--who reached Vera Cruz
from Mexico City on his way to Europe,
Huerta, he said, will surrender the gov
ernment to Francisco Carbajal the new
minister of foreign affairs, who, in turn,
will step aside when the time comes, for
some other provisional president wholly
acceptable to the constitutionalists.
just when the change will come, Es-
teva Ruiz said he did not know. "The
president did not make me his conf
dant," he declared, "nor did have much
time to talk with him after it was deter.
mined that | should leave the cabinet"
He was convinced however, that Huerta
would lay down his power during the
coming week and it would not surprise
him, he said. If his resignat tion were an.
nounced to-day.
Carbaial, he added, was suggested as
provisional president by the American
delegation at the Niagara Falls media
tion conference and agreed to buy Huer-
ta's delegates and the South American
mediators, while the constitutionalists
indirectly had conveyed the idea that he
would be acceptable to Carranza. "That
is" explained the Mexican subs secretary,
"Carbajal would be more provisional
president than the real provisional presi
dent to be named later"
