MAKES CLEAR
GOVERNMENTS
ATTITUDE ON
R. R, PROBLEM

New York, March 3-At a special
meeting today of the executive COM
mittee of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford Railroad, Chairman How
ard Elliott submitted a detailed state
ment relative to the governments at
titude toward the New Haven system
in connection with the separation of
the Boston & Maine road.
Mr.. Elliott declined TO discuss the
matter for publication but said he hop
ed TO arrive at a satisfactory under
standing with the department Of JUS
tice as to the time to be allowed the
New Haven for disposing of it's in
terests in the Boston & Maine
Pursuant to its policy of retrench-
ment the New Haven road contem-
plates making a number of reductions
in it's passenger schedules, effective
March 10, it was made known. The
proposed changes will not affect any
important trains between New York
and Boston.
A meeting of the New Haven direc-
tors will be held on Friday, by which
time it is hoped to have further word
from Washington with regard to the

Presidents Appreciation.

President Wilson in conference to-
day with Sir Cecil Spring Rice and
Sir Lionel Garden the British minis
ter to Mexico is understood to have
expressed his approval and apprecia-
tion of the friendly sentiments uttered
by the British foreign secretary in the
House of Commons.
Tension which had been felt here
over the killing of Benton arose large
ly because 1t was believed Great Brit
ain might press the United States into
taking drastic steps to secure repa-
ration. The British view that the Unit
ed States is not obligated to demand
reparation relieved the tension to some
extent although it is clear that the
Benton incident has developed an in
tention on the part of the American
government to take a more aggres-
sive attitude toward the contending
factions in Mexico.
The entire situation was discussed

Member of Organiza=
ton 20 Years ASSails
Its Aims Before
Committee
Appears for Northwest Growers
To Tell Of Dealings

Washington, March 3.-The Chicago
Board of Trade was arraigned as a
giant of fictitious wheat transactions"
and the weapon of a price controlling
monopoly today, by Samuel H. Gree
ley, who for more than 20 years was
a member of the board. Appearing be-
fore the House rules committee in be-
half of several wheat growers organ
izations of the Northwest, Mr.. Gree
ley urged federal action against an al
legged monopoly maintained by the
public warehouse men of Chicago and
other market centers.
Through memberships on the Chi
cago board and control of the storage
of grain, the warehouse trust" he
declared, had built up an organiza-
ton which controls the wheat prices
of the world more than any other
agency except war scares and finan-
cial panics." The key to the situa-
ton was dealing in futures where no
delivery was intended, he declared, and
in this business the Chicago Board
of Trade outstripped the other markets
of the world combined.
Evidence was submitted to the COM
mittee designed to show that the
warehouse Trust began business in
1887 and had steadily increased in
power until today the Chicago board
was "throttled and controlled by the
public warehouse men,"
Mr.. Greeley read into the record
change in the rules by the board, re-
moving certain penalties prescribed
against warehouse members. This, he
said, was done at the order OF the
warehouse mems combination. The
committee had under consideration
Rep. Manahans resolution to investi-
gate the charges that a monopoly ex-
listed with the grain exchanges of Chi
eago, Duluth and Minneapolis, found
ed upon the warehouse operations and
future trading. 1t was said that IL
the hearings bring out evidence te
warrant, the matter probably Will be
referred to the committee on agricul-
ture with recommendations that II
draft legislation to remedy the alleged
evils.
Mr.. Greeley charged that public
warehousing in Chicago was conduct
ed openly and brazenly in violation
of law without any organized opposi-
ton of state legal authorities to crush
open competition.
