BOTH HOPE TO HALT
NEW HAVEN INQUIRY
Road Officials and Department Of
Justice Equally Anxious
for Delay.
Ask Congress to Postpone Action
Pending Conclusion Of Pres.
ent Negotiations.

Efforts to secure general consent that
there will be no steps taken toward a
congressional Investigation of the affairs
Of the New Haven railroad until the De-
parenent of Justice has had a chance to
work out its plans for reorganization of
the property are being made by Attorney
General McReynolds and by Howard
Elliott, chairman of the New Haven.
Correspondence that has passed between
the Attorney General and members of
Congress interested in securing a public
investigation indicates that resolutions
probably will be withheld for "a time at
least. Mr.. McReynolds wrote Senator
Norris that he had no objection to a
public Investigation Of New Haven af-
fairs, but that he believed public inter-
est would be best served at present by
allowing the negotiations now being car
ried on by the Department of Justice to
proceed without interruption.
Elliott Opposes Inquiry.
Chairman Elliott had conferences Wed
nesday with Senators Weeks and Norris
He has also urged that a public inquiry
at the present time might 80 disturb
financial conditions as to embarrass the
proposed organization.
The New Haven railroad has made
formal application to the interstate conf
merce commission for hearing to de-
terrnine whether or not 1t shall be allowed
to keep control of its present steamship
lines. after July l, 1914.
The action is apart from that now
pending in the Department of Justice.
and was made necessary by the law of
1912, which prohibits control Of Com
peting' water lines by railroads after
July 1, 1914, except with the approval
of the interstate commerce commission.
Conference Is Resumed.
Conferences between Chairman Elliott
and officials of the Department of JUS
tice were continued yesterday in an effort
to reach an agreement for a reorganiza-
ton of the New Haven.
Mr. Elliott went to New York last night
to attend to business there today, re-
turning later to Washington.

NEW TARIFF MAY RECOUP
RUSSIA'S LOSS OF TRADE
Export Chamber Considering Aspects
of Commerce Relations With
America.
Foreign CORRESPONDENCE o, The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star. I.
ST. PETERSBURG. January i, 1914.
The Russian export chamber has been
devoting many OF its semi-weekly meet
ings to various aspects of trade relations
with America, which continue to intereKt
Russian industrial and commercial cir
Giles. The blow dealt to an expanding
trade in which the United States had
risen to second place in imports. is re-
flected in reports for the first seven
months of 1913. During that period Rus
sian exports to America decreased by
100000 rubles., or more than 100000
The new American tariff is expected to
recoup for Russia some of this loss by In
creased trade in certain articles, such as
eggs, hides and wool.

TRAIN TAKES HEN AND NEST
Cars Gone on Which Biddy Used to
Lay All Her Eggs, and She
With K,

Oaktown, Ind.-A brown hen, Ds-
longing to Daniel Coleman, who lives
near the C. & e. l. passenger station
here, used the rolling stock OF the
G.. &c e. I. railroad for nest. She laid
an egg every day, sometimes using
a flat car, sometimes a box car, some
times the coal dust and sometimes
the steel frame under coal cars.
The hen delivered the customary
fowl announcement of the arrival OF
an egg for several days, but members
of the Coleman family were unable
to find her nest. When egg prices
suffered upward revision close watch
was kept on the hen. She was seen
20 fly in a box car partly filled with
baled straw. There she disappeared
cor a time, only to reappear in tae
car door, cackle for few minutes,
then fly to the ground.
The hen disappeared for good a IT,"
DAYS ago when the door of a box car
into which she had made her da'ly
pilgrimage was closed on her by
railroad employee and she was soon
on her way to Terre Haute.

QUICKLY STOPS THE
WORST BACKACHE
Croxone Makes Kidney Troubles,
Bladder Disorders, Rheumatic
Pains Vanish.

If you suffer with backaching kid
ney trouble, have disagreeable bladder
and urinary disorders, or are tortured
with rheumatism, stiff joints, and it's
heart-wrenching pains, you will be sur
prised how quickly and surely Crox-
one will relieve all such troubles.
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, neutralizes,
dissolves and makes the kidneys sift
out and filter away the uric acid and
poisons from the blood, and leaves the
kidneys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
you have used, it is practically impos-
sibIe to take Croxone without results.
1t starts to work the minute you take
it and is guaranteed to relieve you
the first time you use it, or cost you
nothing.
If you suffer with pains in your back
and sides, or have any signs of kidney,
bladder trouble, or rheumatism, such
as puffy swellings under the eyes or in
the feet and ankles, if you are nerv-
Gus, tired and run down, or bothered
with urinary disorders, Croxone really
will relieve your misery and do it
quickly. An original package costs
but trife, and all druggists are au-
thorized to return the purchase price
IL it fails in a single case.-Adv.

DESTRUCTION BY INSECTS

Man is several thousand times larger
than most destructive insects, yet the
insects will destroy mans work, If
not checked in comparatively less
time than the building required. For
instance, men may construct harbor
pier in few weeks, and at the end
of as many years animal life in the
sea may cut the pilings completely in
two, and if their work is not at once
checked, in time the entire structure
may fall. Engineering men have strug-
gled to protect piling from such on
slaughts for long time. The damage
done by the tiny creatures that soon
reduce huge timbers to sawdust
amounts annually to great sums of
money and now and then horrible Ca
tastrophes may be charged directly to
the work of these pesta. Perhaps no
other agency has been more powerful
in bringing the use of concrete into
wharf and pier construction. But
where wooden piling and timbers must
be used means has been perfected
OF driving solutions of creosOte deep
into the wood under high pressure.
This preparation is not wholesome to
the worms and barnacles that enjoy
tearing down what man builds up.

visible. The fact, also, that this globe
constitutes our nearest neighbor in
space allows of ICIaY exploration to be
conducted in silence though great tel
Escapes, without the accompaniment
of perilous adventure. Our knowledge
of the lunar world teaches us of a
planet that may be totally unlike our
own; of a globe minus both air and
water and every essential to life eX-
istence. In fact, we are taught OF a
world with the conditions for life de-
struction; of planet where rain and
wind storms to erode and obliterate
the mountains were never known,
and where the rough-cast surface, in
its original state and exposed to our
scrutiny, stands today precisely as 1t
was nodded into shape by the Creator
many millions of years ago. With the
absence of atmosphere, the surface
is unaffected by position in latitude,
and whereas we might look for snow
or ice clad pole, the once 1gneous
rocks, caused by the coSmical fire, are
there as barren and exposed to our
view as at the equator. Monotony and
silence pervade the entire planet.
Within the regions of the lunar south
pole the. superscriptions of the surface
remain untarnished, every vestige as
crisp and bright as when it left the
hands OF the Almighty. No human be-
ing could visit the scene without TAX
ing with him a supply of air and wa
ter. Even then he would find the tenn
perature standing at 5000 degrees be-
low zero f.
The strange conditions Oh the lunar
landscape which would meet the eye
of the explorer would be weird, baf-
fling and yet beautiful. Dawn, as we
know it, would have no counterpart on
the moon, for absence OF air means
10 diffused light. The untempered
rays of the sun would appear sudden
ly upon the black horizon, crowning
the mountain peaks with dazzling
whiteness, with their TANKS and val
legs yet in utter darkness. To the
lunar spectator this sunrise would be
unaccompanied by the gorgeous glow
ing sky tints so familiar on earth. No
atmosphere would mean no sky light,
and the solar beams would burn as
fiereely as a gigantic electric light a
few feet from the eye. With no diff
fdsing vapor, the sky, even at midday,
would appear darker than that with
which we are familiar on mocnless
night. and the stars would shine
brighter than ever before. The in
stant,one stepped into the shadow of
