ney-Genersl .McReynolds and Chairman
Howard Elliott Of the New Haven road

dent Wilson tonight and was approved

them before II can be said to be adopted
After the agreement has been passed upon
by the New Haven stockholders II Ia TO be
submitted as an agreed decree" In the
United states District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
Chairman Elliott gained important con-
cessions for the road In the final stages
of the negotiations. The most important
was that the court may extend the time
for the sale of the Boston and Maine
road beyond the two years and ten months
set for this transfer in the agreement
In addition the court may extend the
time set for the sale OF all other prop
critics from which the New Haven must
be- separated.
Another concession gained by Mr.. Eli
lott WAS the extension OF the agreed
time for the sale of the Boston and Maine
from two years and half to two years
and ten months.
Chairman Elliott issued a statement to-
night expressing the belief that the agree
ment would have n wholesome effect on
the Industrial situation In New England

that the stockholders would ratify the
agreement.

tonight are explicit except that with
regard 10 the disposal of the so-called
Sound steamship lines. II Is announced
that the question Of their retention has
been referred to the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

has insisted that should the commission
order the Sound lines sold the New Haven
must sell along with these lines. its water
terminal properties at inland New Eng
land ports. Furthermore, the Attorney
General has reserved the right to seek the
separation of the road from the Sound
lines under the sherman act even though
the Interstate Commerce Commission finds
their retention would not constitute a vlo-
lation of the Panama Canal act
The announcement of the agreement as
given out by the Department OF Justice
is as follows:
The Attorney General has indicated to
the representatives of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company
the arrangements which he thinks would

pany into harmony with laws The rep

State Road Apportionment.

Late on Wednesday of last week
the state highway commission COM
pleted it's apportionment of the state
road and bridge fund. The total ap-
portionment is estimated at 81, 4OO.-
600. This amount will be derived
from one mill tax levied on all the
taxable property Of the state. No
county can receive less than one per
cent of the funds nor more than
three per cent. In other words the
minimum a county can receive is
Sl4, 900, the maximum $4,000. The
counties of ST. Louis, Hennepin and
Ramsey, with combined valuation
of 1904, 228, 208, will contribute 1904, >
228 of the 81, 400, 900, and those three
counties receive $500 each, or
$3.50, 228 less than they pay. That
$589,228 is distributed among the
other SO counties of the state.
Every county of the state, with the
exception Of ST. Louis, Hennepin
and Ramsey receives more than it
pays to the state road and bridge
fund-many of the smaller counties
several times what they are required
to pay. Annexed hereto T.. is a table
showing the amount allotted to each
county,:

Alonzo j. Whiteman, former Min
nesota state legislator and ex- convict,
has again been heard from this
time in connection with the appro-
priation Of a check for S2,518 in
trusted to him by a Mrs. Sara
Conger Of Zion City. It seems that
Whiteman has for some time been a
"great reform worker" in Zion City,
"a ssmost righteous gentleman, -
and that he took advantage of his
religious cloak to induce Mrs. Conger
to place the check with him for
safe keeping. He then proceeded
to cash it and spend the money.
Upon promise, however, to make
good the amount of the check, the
Zion City church officials released
him from custody. Hence he will be
given another chance. The Zion
City people are altogether too con-
fiding, but they have probably never
looked up Whiteman's past history.

is shown by the fact that he person
ally appeared before joint session

that provision of the Panama canal
act which exempts vessels engaged
in the coastwise trade Of the United
States from payment of tolls. The
presidents ground for asking the
repeal is that the provision is in
