Something Tangible q.

We take It that Mr.. HOWARD ELLIOTT

New Haven management. Nobody now
doubts the honesty and ability with
which Mr.. MELLEN's successor is en-
deavoring to restore this great property

ton and obvious earning power entitle

right Of the actual owners Of the New
Haven TO any money that may have
been unlawfully diverted from the cor
poration's treasury by any Of the oper-
ations investigated by the Interstate
Commerce Comm sslon; and nobody
doubts that 1t is the duty of Mr.. Ell

ess Of law. The most important ques-

questions of the roads future and the
stockholders rights. In the whir OF

For that reason no part Of the COM

sense more worthy of the immediate
attention of the present able and hon

these passages about the Billiard trans

understanding OF the board that BILLARr
