NEW HAVEN WILL DISSOLVE
Elliott and Department of Justice Are
Agreed on PIan-Action Will
Be Full.

Washington, Jan. 12.-The New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
and the department of justice an
nounced preliminary agreement de-
signed to effect a reorganization of the
New Haven and to prevent a suit for
it's dissolution under the Sherman law.
The New Haven will dispose of its
holdings in the Boston & Maine rail-
road, cancel its joint agreement con-
trolling the Boston & Albany, and give
up its trolley lines and several of it's
steamship lines. The question of its
retention of the so-called Sound lines
of steamships will be left to the inter
state commerce commission. Under
the Panama canal act the road is re-
quired to give up all steamship hold
ings by July 1, unless the commission
finds that their continued operation
by the railroad is to the commercial
advantage of the people, and not in
restraint Of competition. 1t was con-
ceded that the department of justice
gained practically every point it de-
manded. The agreement does not
have any bearing on the much talked
of criminal suits against former di-
rectors and officials of the New Haven
road.

GERMAN OFFICERS ACQUITTED
Army Men Accused of AssauIting Cit
liens at Zabern Are Exonerated
Under Old Law.

Strassburg, Jan. 12.-Court-martial
acquitted all the German army officers
charged with breaches of the law in
connection with the recent violent in
cidents between the military and civil
ians of Zabern. The military judges
in all cases accepted the word of the
officers against the sworn testimony
of the civilian witnesses. Col. Won
Reuter-, commander of the Ninety
ninth infantry, was charged with
wrongful Imprisonment, but the court
found his acts justifiable. Lieutenant
Schad, accused of striking a prisoner,
was released by the same court on the
ground that the charge had not been
proved. Lieut.. Baron Won Forstner
won his appeal before a second court
martial against the sentence of 43
days Imprisonment imposed on him
on December 10 for Sabering a lame
shoemaker.
The justification of Col. Won Reuters
acts was based by the court on a de-
cree issued by the king of Prussia in
1920, which gave the right to the mill
tary to intervene without waiting for
request from the civil authorities
in case the latter were powerless to
suppress disorders.

THAW TO BE FREED?
LUNACY BODY EXPECTED TO RE-
LEASE HIM ON BAIL.
Member of Federal Commission De-
clares Evidence Has Been Favor
able to Slayer.

Concord, n. H., Jan. 12.-Harry K.
Thaw was in high spirits for he be-
lieves that Federal Judge Edgar Al
drich will today admit him to bail
Il feel confident that l will be re-
leased on bail today" said Thaw. IF
so, l am not going to Pittsburgh, or
anywhere else, but l am going to stay
right here in New Hampshire, where l
have been treated fairly and honestly.
| will remain here until my case is
finally disposed Of"
The commission which has been TAX
ing testimony relative to Thaw's san
ity is said to have recommended that
Thaw be released on bail. This report
will carry considerable weight with
Judge Aldrich, as he previously an
nounced that he would be guided by
its findings.
While all of the members of the
lunacy commission have refused to in
innate what their decision is, one of
the examiners said:
None of the evidence we heard
tended to show that Thaw is a dan
gerous lunatic at the present time"

THE principal value Of adj
Il vertising consists in the
fact that the influence of adj
vertising is cumulative. It
gains strength by repetition.
This does not mean the repe-
titiOn of one advertisement
indefinitely. A change of
copy is desirable. 1t means
the continued advertising of
ones business in as effective
a manner as possible.
One man has been in bust
ness in the town twenty
years; another opened his
store last week. Both may
be equally honest, equally en-
terprising, equally deserving
of credit and custom. But
which has the better reputa-
ton? Naturally the man who
has been doing business in
the same building for TWEEN
ty years. It is the result of
persistency, the inevitable
cumulative effect.
You can't get away from it
your reputation will either
get better or worse as your
business methods become
known. Repetition impresses
the fact even on the careless
observer. Remember this In
your advertising. Don't eX-
pect to make a fortune by
one effort, but use it as one
stone to help build the tower
that will raise you higher
and higher.

ING TODAY HELP YOUR
