NEW HAVEN STOCKHOLDERS LOST MILLIONS
mits Amazing CompiIation-Mo-
nopoIy Idea a Dream.

Washington. - The story of the
reckless and profligate" financial
operations of the New Haven rail
road, one of the most remarkable
chapters in the history of American
railroads and American finance, was
revealed Monday by the interstate
commerce commission in a report to
the senate of its investigation of that
road.
II told Of millions used like stage
money, of corporations as pawns in
a titanic game with all New England
transportation as a prize, which led
the New Haven in the ten years just
passed from the height of prosperity
to the point where a dividend has
been passed. where a dissolution suit
is threatening and where criminal in
dictments of many of the directors
who figured in deals are at least
possibility.
Hampered by reluctant witnesses,
by burned books and by all the mazes
which lawyers invented TO cover the
l.,
in the progress toward mOnopoliza-
ton of New England transportation.
the New Haven stockholders have
lost between $65,00O,000 and 100000
coo, little Of which they may recover
In return, the report said, they have
on their hands properties which pay
no dividends, which eat into the earn
ings of the parent road and which
will be a burden on its capacity for
many years TO come.
OF the present directing head,
Chairman Howard Elliott and Walker
d. Hines, special counsel, the report
says:
They have co-operated with the
commission and rendered it substan-
tial assistance throughout this inves-
tigation."

TRIALS OF ELDEST DAUGHTER
Her Position In the Family Some
times Results in Making Her More
or Less Of a Drudge.

I'm glad Pm not the oldest" re-
marked a pretty girl to her chum
Why, Susan has TO DO almost every
thing at home; father thinks she ought
to take the burden Of housekeeping
or mothers hands. and my brother
wants her TO wait on him as If she
were servaut-he knows better than
to ask me to do something for him
says I'm spoiled-aud you just bet I'm
glad I'm the youngest girl"
Too often the oldest daughter is
made a drudge, and there is not the
proper amount of respect and regard
for the girl whose labors take the
place Of maid She is expected to
run errands, help with the care and
amusement of the children. teach
them lessons. What wonder that
such girl viii take the first oppor-
tunity for work as a means TO escape
from these unpaid iabors, or accept
an offer Of marriage in order to live
apart from a family who do not even
try to make her home life comfort
able and pleasant.
But | am glad to say that not al
ways is the position of elder daugh-
ter such an unappreciated one; in
some households she is beloved and
respected, at the same time expected
TO fulfil whatever duties may fall to
