been heard officially of the New York.
New Haven and Hartford company suit
at the federal district attorneys office

The case will be handled by a special
assistant attorney general from WASH
ington. Dispatches from Washington
last night stated that T. w Gregory. the
special assistant in charge of the New
Haven case. will be the man. District
Attorney Marshall is disqualified from
having anything to do with the case. as
he was counsel before his appointment TO

board of directors of the Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada. when he
was indicted with E. j. Chamberlin. presi-
dent of the company. and Charles S. Mel
len. then president of the New Haven, in
connection with an alleged breach of the
antitrust law.
Mr. Marshall, on taking Office, informed
Attorney General McReynolds that i'll a
few cases his former connections made 1t
impossible for him to act for the gov
ernment and that any suit concerning the
New Haven would be one of these. Con-
sequenty he has kept himself aloof from
even discussing the projected litigation
with the Attorney General.

Averred That Directors Would Keer
Subsidiaries for Fair Prices

NEW YORK, July 22.-The Sun says
today:
The New Haven road will fight any
and every action brought by the federal
government or any other plaintiff so long
as the F1sher-Ellis law giving the state
of Massachusetts an option on Boston
and Maine stock is enforced.
The directors will fight the dissolution
suit which Attorney General McReYnolds
is to bring; it will fight criminal action
and private suits. 1t will seek to retain
its steamship lines until they can be dis
posed of at favorable prices. and also the
trolleys of Connecticut and other states.

iustment without the necessity of suit
You have been familiar with the out
come; and, as the terms Of the plan
agreed on were published, they be-
came generally known.
Because of the important conse-
quences involved directly to New Eng
land and mediately to the rest of the
Union. it seemed most important, first
to accomplish, if possible, a restoration
of lawful conditions In the transporta-
tion facilities of that section with the
least possible further distress to i'm
poverished investors and unsettled in
dustries: and 1 have acted accordingly.
Criminal Aspects in Mind.
The criminal aspects of the case have
been kept constantly In mind: much
data bearing thereon was collected
months ago; and care has been exer-
cised to permit nothing which might
interfere with proper prosecutions at
the appropriate time. We have not held
out the slightest hope that parties
guilty of violations of the law would
escape.
'1n April and May last, there being in
dication that the interstate commerce
commission. by examining them, might
immunize certain central figures in the
unlawful arrangement. it was asked to
consider the effect of such action New
ertheless. Mellen and perhaps others fla
grantly culpable were put upon the stand,
and any criminal prosecution hereafter
instituted probably will be embarrassed
by a claim of immunity interposed in
their behalf
With the utmost patience and an in
tense desire to enforce the law in such
way as to bring. no unnecessary hard
ship upon New England OF the unfor-
tunate holders of the railroad securities.
We have sought to compel a restoration
of lawful conditions: but. as l believe.
without proper justification. the board Of
directors resolutely decline to proceed un-
der an approved arrangement adequate
to that end and altogether fair.
Il am of the opinion. therefore, that
the time is at hand when we should file
proceeding in equity. seeking the dis
solution of the unlawful monopoly of
transportation facilities in New England.
and that the criminal aspects of the case
should be laid before federal grand
jury.
IF these suggestions meet with your
approval l will Immediately give the nee
essary directions.
Faithfully yours,

Letter to President Hustis.

Following is the Attorney Generals let

fore the New Haven directors at their

Shortly after the present administra-
tion entered upon its duties | employed
special counsel and set on foot an in
vestiSation of the affairs of the New
Haven railroad. for the purpose of as
certaining the exact conditions. In due
time 1t developed that the antitrust laws
were being violated. and l. accordingly.
directed the preparation of a bill to re-
strain and prevent further infractions.
Before this could be written and filed,
and about the first of September last,
there was a change in the management
of your road. Shortly thereafter. its ac-
credited representatives came here.
sought an interview with me. expressed
a sincere desire to comply with the law
and pointed out the evil consequences
which they thought would fall upon all
New England if suit We're instituted.
They were especially anxious to obtain
time and led me to believe that they
were acting in the utmost good faith. l
withheld the suit, and much time and
labor were expended in negotiating the
details of an adjustment
THE plan finally evolved was accepted
with practical unanimity both by the
directors and stockholders of your road

and Maine was an essential

obviously, it is now within the
power of the New Haven railroad to
carry out the agreement and under
standing which its Representatives
made with me, and thereby remove all
question of good faith and prevent all
of the calamitous results to the public
I'M q on
sented would follow the institution of
a suit by the government
IF your directors adhere. to the po-
sition which they have taken the plain
result will be that because they think
it may be impossible to procure for the
s22,000,000 of Boston and Maine stock
as much as might be obtained under
different circumstances, they are will
ing to throw aside the agreement SOL
emnly made with me and to subject the
whole of New England to the conse-
quences of the litigation which must.
necessarily. follow. If they bring this
result about. then the public must
know where the responsibility lies and
draw it's own conclusions concerning
the motives which have impelled.
THE President directs me to say that
he is not yet ready to believe that
those who control the New Haven rail-
road, in order to secure some possible
increase in the selling price of s22,-
100000 of stock, now offered at about
one-third of it's face value. are willing
to turn away from solemn agreement
with the government, made after long
and careful consideration, and thereby
subject the interests of both New Eng
land and the nation at large to the
consequences of prolonged and un-
necessary litigation. And he thinks.
accordingly. that your board IF di-
rectors should give this matter serious
reconsideration.

MEXICAN STATESMAN
Francisco Iglesias Y. Calderon, Ac-
companied by Secretary Bryan,
Is White House Visitor.

Francisco Iglesias Y. Calderon, leader
of the Mexican liberal party, who is to be
minister of foreign affairs in the cabinet
of Gen. Carranza when the latter be-
comes provisional president of Mexico,
vas received by President Wilson at the
White House yesterday.
Mr.. Iglesias is the first Mexican of any
faction to be received by the President
since the beginning of the present ad
ministration. The President has made 1t
a rule that he would not even receive
Representatives of the Mexican factions.
leaving such negotiations entirely to Sec
retary Bryan. The rule was broken, not
only on account Of the prominence of Mr..
Iglesias. and the important part he will
take in reconstructing Mexico's interna-
tional affairs but as an indication of the
friendly spirit Of the President toward
the incoming administration in Mexico.
Mr.. Iglesias was one Of the five sena-
tors imprisoned along with more than
hundred deputies at the time Huerta dis
solved the Mexican congress. He spent
seventy days in Jail and was liberated at
Vera Cruz when the American forces oc-
cupied that port.
Presented by Secretary Bryan.
Secretary Bryan presented the Mexican
statesman, who was, accompanied by
Juan F. Urquidi, as interpreter. The
President told his visitors he was inter
ested solely in seeing peace restored in
Mexico and that the American people
wanted to help their neigh bors as sincere
friends.
The visit lasted only a few minutes. 1t
was entirely a call of courtesy, as MIR.
Iglesias will leave here tomorrow for
Monterey to join Gen. Carranza. He de-
clined to comment on the report from the
border that he would be made minister of
foreign affairs, but smilingly expressed
his appreciation of his reception at the
White House.
After the visit, Secretary Bryan stood
outside the executive offices. talking at
length with Mr.. Iglesias and explaining
the attitude of the American government
toward the Mexican nation. Mr.. lgleslas
undoubtedly will be a member of the
commission which will discuss peace WIN
representatives of Provisional President
CarbaiaL and it is believed will bring to
that conference valuable impression OF
the attitude of foreign governments gen
erally toward the Mexican problem.
While here he has been received by MIN
ister Suarez of Chile and other proml-
nent diplomats.

formed the President that. next to Span
ish priests, the greatest number of foreign

fore President Wilson by Charge DAT

Mr.. Clause told the President his gov

killing of the Frenchmen and the i'm
prisonment of eleven others by the
constitutionalis1s. and that active steps
for reparation were earnestly sought.
According to Mr.. Clause an inquest
into the deaths. has been ordered by
Gen. Carranza. He said that the rea
son given by the constitutionalists for
the killing Of the two Frenchmen was
that they protected some federals. He
also told the President that the rea-
son for the executions learned by the
French embass ssy was that the two men
had refused to pay money to the con-
