Contract with B. g. M.

Mr.. Folk has asked IL the contract
between the American Express Company
and Boston & Maine, which was ex-
tended in 1897, did not cost the Boston &
Maine $4,000 over and above what IL
should have cost. That intimation is
from a report of the New Hampshire
Railroad Commission. The contract was
made by President futile OF the Boston
& MaiLe with the express company, and
I should like YOU to consider in this
connection letter on the subject written
by President futile TO the New Hamp-
shire commission.
Mr. I,edyard discussed at length the
subject or express operation. indicating
that the short haul business OF the eX-
press company on the Boston q Maine
made il necessary 10 obtain consid-
able percentage of the gross receipts Of
the business of the company.
William Skinner, one OF the New Haven
direc' ,rs. who was on the stand yester-
day, finished his testimony before Mr..
Ledyard was called to-day.
In reply to Mr.. Folks questions. Mr..
skinner said he knew of the prayer
from the hills" issued to create public
sentiment. and believed railroad or
other public corporation had the right TO
create public sentiment in its favor.
"By deception" asked Mr.. Folk. DO
.,ou think IL was right TO circulate litera-
ture purportlng TO come from the public
,,bsn as a matter OF fact, II was sent
out by the railroad"
with all the hue and cry against the
railroads. they must create sentiment IN
,b.ir favor" Mr.. Skinner replied.
Are they JUSTIFIED in using any
method"
"No but they must create the senti-
tnent"

American Express Deal.

I'm the course Of negotiations with Mr..
Mellen the terms were fixed. Mr. Mellen
had offered one share of New Haven for
one share of Boston & Maine. We asked
that the same terms be made with other
stockholders and Mr.. Mellen agreed.
II tried 10 get for the American Ex-
press Company the business of the New
Haven. but it was never a condition of
the sale Of the Boston g. Maine stock.
Adams Express Company then had the
business of the New Haven. / saw Mr..
Mellen about this matter in New York.
Mr. Mellen had testified that what !
was after was to get an extension OF the
contract between the American Express
Company and the Boston & Maine.
There is not word of truth in that
statement. The substantial part Of Mr..
Mellen's testimony on this point was
wholly untrue. although later he quail
fled his statement 10 some extent.
"Mr. Mellen found that the Adams con-
tract was to run until 1916 and he re-
fused to enter into any arrangements
beginning from that date. as 1t was too
far ahead he said.

the New England Navigation Company
once appeared at a meeting or the Ne"
Haven directors and said that he was
very much annoyed at the competition OF
the steamers Harvard and Yale. Meiieti
wanted to acquire these boats. but Lea
ward declared that he would not stand Tor
IT, and the proposition was rejected. Mel
len went to his house later and asked u
he allowed to buy these two boats Out
Ledyard declared that they would not
be bought while he was on the New Ia
ven board
Mr.. Ledyard will go on the stand again
tomorrow.
Mr.. Baker Annoyed.
George +. Baker. president OF the FIRST
National Bank Of New York and New
Haven director, went home this after
noon i'm a not too amiable state OF nina.
He was summoned to tell what he knew
of the New Ravens affairs, but was ex-
cused this afternoon after short con-
ference with one Of the attorneys Tor
the commission.
Mr.. Baker thought the commission
wanted TO find out from him something
about the financial transactions OF the
New Haven road. but, much TO his sur
prise. the only information sought was
whether or not whiskey or champagne
was served at meetings OF the New ia
ven directors. No other questions were
asked Of him, and when he told the at
torneys what he knew on this subject
they told him he could so home ana
would not be called again.
When Mr.. Iedyard took the stand to-
day he said he wanted TO contradict GER
tain statements made by Mr. Mellen in
his testimony.
"In the spring Of 1907 l had been a
director Of the Boston q Maine for some
time" said Mir. Ledyard, but had had
no relations with the New Haven. ON

one day if the express company would

Bonds illegally Issued.

Details OF the situation Nhlcn led up 10
the financial difficulties OF the New Haven
and its sale OF the Boston q Maine stock
were given By Mr.. Ledyard. He told OF
the purchase OF small road In Massa-
chusetts / y the New Haven and the merg-
ing OF these two companies. For forty
years the New Haven had gone along and
issued debenture bonds under its Con-
necticut charter, only 10 find, at the end
OF that time, through the Supreme Court
decision in the Massachusetts trolley case,
that the road was under the laws OF Mas
sachusetts and that these bonds had been
illegally issued.
Most OF these bonds were in the vaults
OF savings banks and were afterward
validated by the Massachusetts, Legislat-
ure The New Haven. however, had 10
dispose Of its holdings in the Boston q

it's borrowing capacity was limited TO the

BOARD MAY REQUEST
 MIR. HART TO RESIGN
SEVERAL MEMBERS SAID TO HAVE DECLARED SECRE-
 TARY SHOULD QUIT.

Little Rock, Dec. 7.-Secretary R. w. Hart and those members of the state board of charities against whom Dr. J. l.. Greene, former superintend- ent of the state hospital for nervous diseases, preferred charges, will be confronted today with the task of sat- isfactorily explaining their actions in the matter or withdrawing from their positions. The governors letter de- handing an explanation that will ex- onerate each member or that mem- ber's resignation will be presented the board this morning when they con- vene for the regular monthly business session. It seems probable that the board will ask Secretary Hart to re- sign, as several members are known to have expressed the opinion that he should withdraw.
 A full attendance of the boards membership is anticipated this morn ing because of the gravity of the sit uation. Governor Hays expressed his
The log cabin Democrat., 1914-12-07

dlspleasure at the failure of the board to initiate an investigation of the charges made against it's membership following the publication of Dr. Greene's statement explaining the conditions which he charges caused him to resign from the superintendent cy of the state institution, and the publication a few days later of statement detailing the governors at titude in the matter.
 Unless Dr. Greene is returned to the hospital, some members of the board will advocate the employment of an alienist to assist the new super intendent, as the services of an alien ist are vital to the efficiency of the in- stitution.
 The board will meet at 9 o'clock this morning at the new state capitol. It's membership follows: s. NJ. Shane of Paragould, R. c. Love of Noun tain Home, E. C. Parsons of Bates vile, Conrad Elsken of Subiaco, Gen. Thomas Green of Pine Bluff, E. w. McCorkle of Philadelphia and Dr. =, C. Dunaway of Little Rock

 GREENE CHARGES.
Arkansas Gazette, December G.

Arkansas Gazette, December G. Unless members of the state board tot charities are able to explain the charges made against certain of them by Dr. J. l.. Greene, in such a way as to eXonerate them of any blame. Gov Iernor Hays will demand their immedi- ate resignations.
 A letter addressed to the board was written by the governor yesterday and will be presented to the members hWen they meet in Little Rock tomor- row morning for the regular Decem- Der business session. In this letter the attention of the board is called to the fact that Dr. Greene made his charges against them public through the Arkansas Gazette on November 28 and that the governor made clear his position, in a statement published a few days afterward He says that he has waited now for almost a week and no explanation has been made by members of the board.
 His letter follows:
 "To the Members of the Board of
 Sstate Charities, Little Rock, Ark :
 "Gentlemen-On the 18th of No- vember, Dr. J. l.. Greene, former su- perintendent of the hospital for ner- vous diseases, gave out statement which was published in the Arkansas Gazette, in which many charges of misconduct in the discharge of the duty were made against the board.
 Nothing was done or said in a public way by the board to refute or explain the charges contained in Dr. Greene's statement. A few days lat CT, gave out a statement explaining my position with reference to Dr. Greene as superintendent and the at titude of the board. 1 have waited for almost week to see what explan- ation, if any, you had to make to the charges made, and, as stated, up to this time, I have heard nothing from you.
 ''I feel it my duty now as an offi- cial of the state, in view of the fact that you receive your appointment through the office of the governor, to demand an immediate explanation of these charges, and, unless this explain ation is made immediately following your next meeting, in such way that it will absolutely exonerate you from the charges made, which l trust you will be able to do, will then demand of you your immediate resignations.
 Yours truly,

ence implanted in man to go out as
the lightning's glare or the whistling
of the wind? We instinctively revolt
at the thought.
No. There is something beyond this
life There must be in the nature of
things compensation somewhere; we
know it is not here. The great dis
PARTIES in the enjoyment of blessings
in this world teach us that somewhere,
somewhow, there must be an evening
up, else justice is mockery and life
itself a curse and a snare.
While our brothers sleep so silently,
the phenomena of nature will go on in
their appointed courses just the same
as if they and all the hosts who sleep
with them had never lived or never
died. The days will continue to come
and go in splendor, with dawn's red
light and sunsets blush, The nights
will ever gem the sky with stars. The
seasons, in all time, will mantle the
earth with bloom, or verdure will deck
the fields with harvests or shroud
them with snow. And as the hours
and days and seasons come and go,
by a kind provision for our happiness,
time will dull, as it ever does, the
keen edge Of grief. In the years that
are to come it may be, it must be, a
consolation to those whose eyes are
dimmed in sorrow to feel that the
priceless heritage of name honored
esteemed and loved is theirs.
In the beautiful drama of Ion, the
instinct of Immortality SO eloquently
written by the devoted Greek, finds a
deep response in every thoughtful
soul. When about to yield his young
existence as a sacrifice to fate, MS
beloved Clemanthe asks him II they
should not meet again, to which he re-
piled:

silent submission to the inevitable or
the triumphant trust of the enthusi-
asst in faith. The basest tyrant that
ever enslaved mankind is the supersti-
tious fear of death. 1t has been the
| fOundation-stone on which all the
countless cruelties and crime and fol-
lies of all religions have been built.
with relief from this unmanly and
unreasonable dread of death humanity
has turned its face towards life and
its duties. The curse of all genera
tions has been the neglect of the pre-
sent for the future, the disregard of
the demands of the hour and the fritz
tering away of the narrow span of
time here for the shadowy specula-
tons on eternity.
Because men have come to practi-
cal belief on this subject, the world
has sprung from the slavish tolls of
the past, with it's fears and prejudice,
into the grand development of human
life and thought The ideal of this age
is the enjoyment of the blessings of
life and the acquisition CT the means
to pursue them. The object of life is
to live and not to die. The Pauline
precept that mo man liveth to HIM

pose of existence, and embodies the
substance of all the faith which is be-
lieved today, the faith which builds
up and creates and increases human
enjoyment-the religion of humanity.

After ALL what is earthly fame? This
sad occasion reminds us of the uncer-
tainties of life and of the solemn
thought that e'er long it's struggle will
be over. Who can believe death is the
end? Who can say in his heart that
this is all there is of man? Where is
the philosopher or seer that can cold
ly view humanity as the simple output
of natural forces, to be RELOCATED to

1t is appointed to all men once to
die, but when that death will come or
how or where is not revealed to flesh
and blood. Each life is for our in
struction and each death is to us a
warning and lesson. What death in
wolves we do not know, beyond this,
that the eyes cease to see, the ears no
longer hear, the lips are dumb, the
heart is pulseless, and the wheels of
life stand still. Whether death ends

but | have an unwavering faith that
this life is but the germ of immortal

Is this the end? Are these sleeping,
neryeless, crumbling statues the end
of these men who lived and loved? Oh,
how that question has been sent vail

through all the cycles since man was
born, has he stood in the light of the
present, and of the past also, as it
comes shadowing up--stood upon the
verge of the future, peering into the
darkness wistfully, questioning, ever
questioning-Is this the end? Stand
here and cry into the future as you
may, NO answer will ever come back
to you. None ever has come back
from the darkness of the future. Our
only answer is in the present-in

monials of the past. Climb to any
