BILLIARD WAS FORCED
 TO ACCEPT MILLION
No Legal Way to Return Prof. s
 Of Boston & Maine Deal.

Boston, July 1S.-Clarence w. Bar ron, owner and directing editor of the Boston News Bureau and similar pub- locations in New York and Boston, who was one of MT. Mellens closest confidants during his regime, had revealed the distressing and fatal combination of legal circumstances that forced into the unwilling palm of John l.. Billiard of Meriden, Conn.,, $2.74s.700 of New Haven money.
 According to MT. Barron, these cir cumstances, which are presented here With in his own words, constitute or until now have constituted an impor- tant secret which repeated investiga- tions have failed to bring to light"
 Billiard Was Ovcrpaid.
 MT. Billiard is one of the directors of the New Haven, who, according to tho recent report of the interstate commerce commission, was overpaid to the extent of s2,74S,700 for services he rendered in buying Boston x Maine stock from the New England Naviga- ton company, New Haven subsidiary and selling it back to the New Haven COIpOTdllOn lLSelI Vld the NatlOldl City bank of New York.
 Here is the secret in MT. Barrons own words:
 Why, bless your soul, that dear old man (Director Billard) never wanted a dollar from the New Haven road. will tell you & secret that even the interstate commerce commission, with two investigations, could not uncover.
 Riskcd Entire Fortune.
 ''The directors voted, in effect, that Billiard should be used to legalize cer- tain transactions and that he should return to the road all the profits. Then the lawyers advised that it could not be done that way legally and they recast their votes and did 1t another way, with the result of landing d mil lion or so in Billiards lap, in a trans action where he risked his entire for tune for the benefit of the New Haven road" C"Million or so'' equals two and three-quarter millions, according to the commissions report)
 When the lawyers got through they found themselves and dear old Mir. Rillard powerless to hand that million back to the New Haven road. Billiard and his heirs have got to keep it to the end of time, all because of law and investigations and the fright ening of directors so that they must walk on stilts between lawyers and lawmakers and investigators and cant turn around legally and do what they want to do in the way of business rlghtfulncss.
 Forced Upon Him.
 Now how are the New Haven's lost million dollars to be recovered? Mil lions spent in official Investigations or even in lawsuits can't recover it.
 They only bury it deeper in Bill lard's pocketbook. and he really does not want it. never wanted it and never meant to have it. The law and the lawyers forced it upon him for keeps. and there Is no legal way in which he can return it,"

brma Governor CenSWeS Roosc- Velt as Ally Of Mu phy.

New York, July 1S.-EX- lillian Sulzer, who less than a eek ago asserted he should not run
 the progressive primaries, if "his lend" Colonel Roosevelt. ran, an- bunced yesterday that he would run
 T. governor in the progressive pri-
 hries against any candidate.
 Ex Governor Sulzer's change of Eart is due to his belief that Colonel
 oosevelt's attitude in the last few
 lys in the Whitman controversy has
 hown the Bull Moose chief as an al-
 of Charles F. Murphy and Tam
 any Hall.
 Playing Into Murphy's Hands.
 "Colonel Roosevelt's attitude" said
 IT, Sulzer, shows him to be playing
 Ito the hands of Charles F. Mur- hy."
 The deposed governors determi- Ltion to run in the progressive pri-
 aries was expressed in the most em- hatic language.
 "I shall be a candidate in the pro- fessive primaries" he said, land all
 want Is a square deal"
 Accidentally MT. Sulzer believes he in beat any candidate of any party Ext fall, provided he gets the pro- Fessive nomination, and if he is not
 dorsed by the progressives. he says.
 e next governor will be a republi- m.
 EX-Governor's Statement.
 In part, MT. Sulzer's statement lads:
 1T am not going back to congress. . am going to be the next governor New York. The bosses who talk bout sending me back to congress ake the wish father to the thought. hey know I could go back to con- less if I wanted to without the aid i consent of any boss. aSo much for lat.
 TT have been nominated for gov fnor by the William Sulzer Nomi- htors,' composed of. independent kmocrats, and by the American hrty, which is composed of inde- endent. and justice-loving citizens. |Rve accepted these nominations, hd I am in the race to stay. No pow on earth can get me to withdraw. let that be understood by all The pters of the state understand it, if De politicians do not. Tip to Bettors. ''They say I know something about blitics. For the information of those Tho like to bet I make this predic- |on--that If I am not the next gov- tnor the candidate of the republican hrty will be-
 Then MT Sulzer fires little hot lot at MT. Barnes and Mr. Murphy, [aking it plain that he believes the kpublican party's candidate will be h anti-Barnes man. Right Not Challenged. "No one challenges my right to lake an effort to serve out my term governor, and continue the work kgan for reform" continues MT. hlzer. ITO this end I am appealing D every man in the state who fav- Fs justice and believes in square eal. If they will support me I can lin. If they do not support me I ball have the consolation. at least, of ping my best for the taxpayers and pt being the last in the race when he votes are counted.''

quet rose at o'clock in spite of the fact that work had kept them up till after midnight. When former Presi. dent Huerta had somewhat recovered from an attack of indigestion and shaved and dressed himself in a white suit, he called a number of news paper men into the railroad car. He appeared to be in one of his grimly genial moods. He told the correspon- dents that he would ask questions himself and answer them. He said: 'Yes, like men in the mad house do, I am going to ask my own questions and then answer them. You see I know the answers"
 1000 Troops Ready.
 Monterey, Mex, July 17.-Seven thousand constitutionalist troops were today ordered to march toward Mex leo City to be ready to preserve or. order there in case of an outbreak.
 The troops ordered to march toward the capital are under com mand of General Jesus Carranza, brother of the first chief of the con- stitutionalists and who has been operating only few hours ride by railroad from Mexico City.
 Constitutionalist officials claim to have 37,000 to 38,OOO troops within twenty-four hours by rail of the capital.
 No CC mmuntcation Received.
 There is feeling here among high constitutionalist officers that Carbaial now occupies a position similar to that held in former times by Antoni Carriera, who was left to keep order when Santa Ana departed from Mex leo.
 No communication had yet been re- ceived from Carbajal.
 Mexican Catholics Aroused.
 Laredo, Tex, July 1S.-The consti- tionalists' alleged attitude toward the Catholic church in Mexico has resulted in an unusual situation to- day in Nuevo Laredo, Mex, opposite here. Weddings, baptisms and even funerals for Catholics either must be held without the customary religious services or else those services can be obtained only after unusual difficulty. The Catholics are awaiting the out- come of an appeal to General Car ranza to change the situation.
 Soon after the occupation of Nuevo Laredo by the constitutionalists under Major Sato, he ordered the occupa- tion of the Catholic church. Tho priest. Father Iglesias. was deported to the American side. The church since has been used as barracks ana civilians have been refused permis- sion to enter

STOCKHOLDERS FILE
 SUIT IN EQUITY
kCIon Instituted in New York Similar
 To That in Boston.

New York, July 1S.-Suit in equity court here today in behalf of certain minority stockholders of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road against directors of the road and the corporation to compel them tc answer charges Of maladministration and misuse of funds.
 The suit, which is brought by the law firm Of Robinson and Lauber of this city, is somewhat similar to the action in Boston which demanded recovery of $3o6, 900. 900. being triple damages for sto2,ooo, ,ooo alleged to have been misused.
 Requires Full Account.
 One Of the two claims made asks that the Individual defendants be compelled to account for all sums of money and shares of stock misap- piled and misappropriated. and all profits which they received by reason VI uIldWlul dGts.
 The second claim asked that the defendants be entoined from further management of the system.
 The action specifically alleges that the directors acting for the corpora- tion acquired the transportation lines with rolling stock upon payment of such money greatly in excess of the value of the property. This refers to the acquisition of the Boston and Westchester road, which figures in the Boston suit and in the recent in- terstate commerce commission report.
 Judgment Against Directors.
 The action further demands that Judgment be rendered against the di- rectors for the amounts ascertained to be due from their alleged unlaw- full practices. These amounts, ac- cording to the complaint, were ob- tained for the personal interest and profit of the directors by conspiracy. Large blocks of treasury stock ana large sums Of money. it is charged, had been transferred to the directors. The amount is not specified.
 The action. which was served upon the treasurer Of the New Haven to- day. Is rcturnable on August 13.
 The directors named were members. of the boards during the years 1904 to 1914 inclusive.
 Woman Is Plaintiff.
 Mrs Bertha P. Lauber, wife of . member of the firm bringing the suit. is the plaintiff in the action. She owns ten shares of stock. The com plaint asserts that the suit is brought in the interest of approximately 100 other small stockholders and that . single stockholder Is complainant be-

Western Federation Of Miners, pre-
pared to stay and direct the strike Of
the $500 members of the organiza-

Hope of bringing about settIeb.

have torn the copper country since
last July, and which have been in
directly blamed for the Christmas
Eve panic in Calumet which cost the
lives of ~ persons, vanished when
the mine operators refused point

refused to tell Governor Ferris what
terms of settlement they would con-

Governor Ferris put to the mine
operators the proposition of Meyer
that the miners would call off the
strike if the men could return 20
work and retain their federation
cards without being Disseminated
