M'REYNOLDS DEMANDS IN CASE OF NEW HAVEN ROAD CALLED
 MORE RADICAL THAN NEEDED
Bankers And Politicians Protest To Wilson Against Rigors Of Disso- lution Plan == Control Of
 States Is Involved

! New York, March 16-Unnecessar1ly radical demands made by the attorney general in the New Haven disso1ution case are charged in a special despatch from Washington to the New York Sun,s which reads as follows:
 A determined effort is being made by friends of the New Haven railroad to influence President Wilson and oth- CT officials of the administration to- ward the view that Attorney-G General McReynoIds' demands have been un- necessarily radical in the negotiations upon a reorganization plan. They hope to convince the President that political expediency demands that he intervene in the negotiations in order to- moderate the conditions laid down under which the road may escape suit under the Sherman act.
 There have been indications the last few days that this claim is well grounded. Resolutions passed by banks and public bodies in New Eng land towns and individual appeals have reached the Department of Jus tice urging the Attorney General to drive an easier bargain with Chairman Elliott and his associates
 Congressman Peters, Democrat, of Massachusetts. has been to the White House and made practically the same plea with the President
 DEMOCRATS FEAR RESULT
 Friends of the road say that the. administrations political hold on New England is indisso1ubly linked with the outcome of the New Haven Negotiations.
 It is their view that if the severity of the governments demand upon the road resulted in its rejection of the terms of the reorganization plan and the road is consequently thrown into lreceivership the thousands of small 'stockhoIders and business men in New England who are directly or indirect Iy interested in the affairs of the Iroad would be inclined to place the Responsibility for their possible losses and inconvenience upon the shoulders i of the admin fstration-
 The prediction has been 1ade also l that one result Of the failure of the negotiations will be that hardly a sin gle Democratic member of the House will be re-eleeted in the coming elec- lions.
 In addition the view is being urged
 upon the administration that the New
 Haven case is part and parcaI Of the general railroad situation, which the president has expressed the desire to see renedted In this connection the declaration has been made that the general effect upon the industrial sit
 uation of the dist 1lrbance of the New England transportation system by an fuI enough to count terba1ance the good effects of the per cent. increase in freight rates by the Interstate Com nerce Commission on which the pres ident is said to have looked with Ia ] vor.

ToRRINGTON BOY HAS
 CHANGE FOR RECOVERY

Torrington, March 1eAAHhough it was at first feared that he would die, John, the 4 year old son of MT An drew Belansick, who was shot by a bullet accidentally discharged from a gun in the hands of John Lourinee, a boarder, is slightly improved and seems today to have a chance for re- covery Lourince, who disappeared from the home after the shooting has not yet been found by the police but if arrested will probably be released, as the police have every reason to believe that the shooting was acci- dental.
 When Lourince brought the young ster to his parents after the accident he told the parents that if the boy died he would end his own life, and it is now feared that he may have run off to kill himself.

SUIT IN EQUITY PREPARED


 Unless the president is influenced by consideration of the New Havens case bearing upon the general indus trial s1tuation into intervening against the attorney-generaPs manner of con- ducting the case, there is strong l likelihood that he will refuse to au1e- liorate in any particular the demands which he has made against the road. The attorneygeneral has had pre- pared a suit in equity demanding the carrying out by court decree of every phase of the reorganization plan which Chairman Elliott. It is understood
 also that the preparation of criminal suits against persons responsible for the creation of the present alleged
 monopoly in New England transport ation also has gone far enough to make it possible for them to be filed in comparatively short time
 | The attorney y-general's s mood is such that he possibly will not tolerate any
 considerable delay by ths road in ac- cepting or rejecting the terms he has laid down for an agreement. In off, the attorney general last night is con- strued as the equivalent Of a charge that the New Haven negotlators have not been entirely frank. DENIES NEW DEMANDS The Department of Justice let it be known that no demand had been made upon the New Haven. either with re-. gard to the trolley lines or the dis posal of the water terminals that was not covered by the terms of the agree ment signed by Chairman Elliott on January 10. This statement issued in the face of efforts by the New Haven repre- sentatfves to obtain permission to re-. tain Connecticut water lines and water terminals as we'll indicated a desire on the Attorney Generals part that the New Haven should be placed in 1 the position of having sought to go
 behind the provisions of the agree
 ment signed on January 10.
 Apparently the roads representatives recognize. the justice of that phase iat1ves to the Connecticut trolleys, for 1 1t practically agreed yesterday to re- l linnuish these properties
 The two remaining obstacles in the way of an agreement are the provis- lions for the disposal of dock proper ties in case the Sound steamship lines are ordered sold by the Interstate ICommerce Commission, and for the ltime to be allowed the proposed Bos- ton and Maine trustees in which to
 dispose Of the latter road. Chairman Elliott has insisted that ifae will not accept a flat period of two
 Tor three years The Attorney-Ge I al has indicated an equally resolute 1 determination that the reorganization
 plan. if agreed upon by him. shall be lcarried out in all its phases in the life of the present administration
 These problems will be taken up at
 the next meeting of the conferes.
 which will take place on Friday
