tons, including banks. holding COM
panies, railroad and steamship COM
panies, all in the New Haven system,
and twenty-nine directors, including
Chairman Elliott.
If the Government should win it's
suit tho result would he to divorce tho
New Haven from most Of its 33S sub
salaries and to make II little more than
a coast line between New York and
| Boston.
1t is understood that the Government
will lay especial stress on the agreement
made ait Mr.. Morgan's home in 1899 he-
| tween the New Haven and the Boston
and Maine Railroad as tending to show
the purpose that has actuated New
Haven directors in building up a trans
portation monopoly.
The only litigation similar to the pres
ent one was the Government suit against
the Union Pacific and the Southern Pa
cinc. The suit was filed In Salt Lake
City on February 2. 1908, and was de-
cided In favor OF the Government on
December ., 1912. four years and ten
months later.
The bill in equity is signed by United
States District Attorney IT, Snowdeu
Marshall, but he will not have any part
in the trial of the suit. Mr.. Gregory
and Frank NJ. Swacker. his assls ant
will have charge of that.

America should be equipped with two 100

Admiralty this week. where he was
frankly told that the British Navy De-
partment would no. consider any water

not exceed 400 horsepower, This IL be-

that the Admiralty is about to begin tho

Plan Has TO Do With Procedure by Massachusetts, Les
ature Changing Attitude of Roads Directors
Government Makes Three New Demands.


The Government action to dissolve
tho New Haven railroad as a combina-
ton in restraint Of trade was filed yes
terday in the United States District
Court for Southern New York by 4. w.
Gregory, who represents Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds and will appear for him
In court.
In spite Of Mr.. Gregory's action the
opinion was ventured last night that
the door to an agreement between the
management Of the road and the Gov
eminent had not been closed and that
a new proposal is likely to he made
which may obvlate the need OF trial
Of the issue.
The plan. while not made known In
detail. It Is understood has to do with
possible procedure by the Massachusetts,
Legislature which would remove the
stand, at their last meeting, which
caused the precipitate action of the
United States Government.
The bill in equity discloses the con-
cessions the Department of Justice was
willing TO make to effect n voluntary
dissolution. 1t shows that the Govern
ment believes the New Haven started
to monopolize New England transporta-
tion more than twenty years ago citing
a meeting held in 1898 al the home of
the late j. +. Morgan I'm this city as
tho beginning of the alleged attempt
to bring all the railroads steamship lines
and trolley companies in the section
into one system.
Demands OF the Government.
The three dema nds which the bill of
equity contains, but which were left
out Of the voluntary dissolution agree
ment. are:
1.-The sale Of the Rutland Railroad.
2--The sale of the New England Rail-
road Company. which competed with
the New Haven on practically equal
terms when II was acquired in 1895.
3--The sale of tho Sound steamship
lines.
Concident with the filing of tho suit
| Mr.. Gregory announced that criminal
action against certain New Haven dl-
rectors would be taken as soon as pos
| sible In New York city.
