NEW HAVEN EGG IS
UNSCRAMBLED
At LAST
Agreement Between Road and
Department
GIVES UP ALL TRolLEYs
Complete civorce Between the New
Haven System and the Boston
and Maine

Washington, Jan. 11.--An agree
ment between the department OF JUS
tlce and the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad that provides
reorganization of the road in con-
formity with the administration in
depreciation of the Sherman anti
trust law was reached in conference
held here late yesterday afternoon.
AS result the department OF JUS
tice will abandon the suit for dsso-
luton of the New Haven system that
was prepared for filing in the courts
In the event that those authorized TO
speak for the road found themselves
unable or unwilling 10 comply with
the demands of the government.
Yesterdays agreement provides for
the disposal of the New Ravens con-
troll of the Boston and Maine road, OF
its trolley systems, Of the Merchants
and Miners Transportation company,
the Eastern Steamship corporation,
the Maine Steamship company, and
for the cancellation of the Boston and
Albany agreement, which was to De
come effective February !.
The disposition of the other steam
ship lines owned and controlled by
the New Haven. it was announced.
will be determined by the Interstate
Commerce Commissions action on
the application for permit to retain
these lines which was filed by the
New Haven last week.
The last principal point at Issue be
tween the spokesman for the New Ha
ven and the representatives OF the
government was involved in Mr. Eli
otis insistence that the road should
retain certain trolley lines in New
England. Chairman Elliott held out
until the end for authority to retain
these properties. which he regarded
as among the most profitable of the
old New Haven system. He held
that considerable doubt existed as 10
the power Of the federal government
under the Sherman law to require
the road to relinquish these lines, es
pecially those engaged in the intra-
state traffic.

WAR ON DANCES IS
ANNOUNCED BY
CATHOLICS
Two Societies Take Action To
Prevent
BIG BALL IS CANCELLED
Knights Of Columbus viii Hold Ball
But viii Watch All
Dancers

New York Jan. 11.---Announce-
ment was made yesterday by Special
Sessions Justice George J. OKeefe
of Brooklyn that the Emerald society
of which he is president, has decided
to cancel its annual ball which was
to have been held at the Waldorf
Astoria on February 2. This action
was taken as protest against mod
ern dances and as an exhibition OF
sympathy of the society with the do
cesar authorities in their opposition
to the tango, turkey trot and other
so-called Objectionable form of dane
ms.
The decision was reached at a
meeting OF the society on January
5 in the rooms of the Catholic Orph-
an Asylum society in Court street.
The message of Cardinal Farley to
the committee of St. Vincent's hos
pital dance and the subsequent can
collation. of that ball influenced the
decision.
Justice OKeefe's statement yester
day said:
"A meeting of the board of officers
and directors of the Emerald society
was held on January 5 at the rooms
of the Roman Catholic Orphan asy-
lum society, 4 and 5 Court square.
1t was unanimously decided to sus-
pend the holding of the Emerald
ball for the year 1914 and thereby co
operating with other societies that
have by similar action manifested
their protest against the so-called
modern dances, at the same time ex-
hibiting the sympathy and support of
the Emerald association with the
views of the diocesan authorities up
on the so-called modern dances. This
action has been communicated to the
Rt Rev. Charles Il. Mcdonnell bis
hop of Brooklyn and has his entire
approval"
The Emerald society has held rs
annual balls and so large had the at
tendance become that those in
charge in recent years have hired
the main ball room of the Waldorf
Astoria. Distinguished men in ma

A PAGE FROM TREASURE ISLAND

by a New York Reporter


4 sailor of short figure and imma-
ture countenance was found one
night recently by the assistant chap
lain Of the American seamen's friend
institute in the corridor OF that cos
mopolitan New York hotel. The
sailor had just got into port on the
Danish brig Hellig Olav and wanted
to lay to" for a rest and a bit of
warmth over Christmas. The chap
lain told reporter, and the reporter
looked up this remarkable sailor who
had sailed the seven seas in briggs,
had gone fishing off the Banks, had
seen the sights of London. rs only
sailors can see them. and had been
knitted by a drunken companion while
on shore leave in South Sea port,
The able seaman. just discharged
from the Hellig Olav. did not want to
talk. IF got to do this he said to
the assistant chaplain, Il oughta
start at the beginnin. "
And to start at the beginning OF
the story of this sailor it should be
said that he has sailed deep water
for the last three years, and that
now he is only Is years old. MY

weather and the terribly hard work
that falls to a seaman on a windjam-

strain, shifted at Halifax for another
ship bound for Prince Arthur But
he did not like this berth and so
slipped out and recahed Yarmouth
The trip was tough on the lad, and
a, Yarmouth he was in the hospital
for several weeks, but as soon as he
was out he had shipped again-once
more on a brig-for South America.
He changed ships often. sometimes
slipping ashore. sometimes going the
full distance to the final port lie
started as a sailor because he could
not get work on shore. But once the
salt winds blew in his face, and he
got the hang of things. he stuck TO
the sea for the reason that so many
other boys have-because he liked
it. From South America he went to
the South Sea islands, then to the
Indian ocean and then TO the North
Sea, to London-for another spell
ashore-and later on TO Frederick

with a man who took him on sled
trip 80 miles north. but It was a bad
trip for the Baby Boy: he got his
leg iced" The story this sailorman
