battle with several hundred Infatuated
Hindus on board the Japanese steamer
komataga Maru In the harhor here.
Showers of coal and other missiles
ratned from the ship on the official
force which attempted to board the
steamer from a tug. In the face of the
fire, the attacking party retreated and
the attempt to board the steamer tenn
p0rarily was abandoned. The Hindus
braVed the stream from a big hose the
tug turned IN them and mercilessly
pelted the officers with humps Of coal.
Fire bricks and pieces of iron from
what Is believed to have been the
wreckage of the engine room IN the
steamer followed.
The battle grew out Of an attempt
to rid the harbor of the japanese
steamer on which $50 Hindus came to
this port three months ago., only to
have the Canadian immigration Off
cials refuse them admission to the
country. Their claim Of a right to land
as British subjects was overruled by
the courts and the steamer was or.
dered to sail with them on board.
The Hindus had been rebellious and
several times attempted to land, but
were prevented.

Washington. - Charges that the

upon, much as the New Haven is said
to have been, through the unloading

fabulous prices, added IN unexpected
feature to the investigation which g
senate subcommittee is making Of al.

ports in coal rates. &
B. l.. Dulaney Of Bristol, Tenn,
made the charges in connection with
an explanation of why he believed the
Morgan interests dominated the South
ern railway and directed the action Of
its officials. a
V He finished his direct statement to
the committee, but will go on the
stand to undergo cross-examination by
attorneys for the Southern railway.
Mr.. Dulaney said he once offered to
sell the control of the Virginia &
Southwestern railway to the Southern
for 100000. A bond issue of $1,000
600 stood against the line. His offer
was refused, he said, but later Henry
McHarg sold the line to the Southern
for about $6.500,000 with a profit es-
timated at $4,000, 600.
The Knoxville & Bristol railway,
sold to the Southern for $500, 900, Mr..
Dulaney said,r was offered for $4,000,
and he did not huy because he did NOT
think the line worth that amount.

THE DISSOLUTION IS ASKED
Attorney-General MeReynolds Cannot

the New York, New Haven & Hart

sidiary rail, trolley and steamship

A final effort to settle the problem
without litigation ended in failure, al
though the Encouragement, T. W.
Gregory, special assistant in charge OF
the case, and a committee of New Ha-
ven directors were in conference many
hours. The committee came to dis
cuss the sale of the Boston & Maine
stock, owned by the New Haven. 1t de-
sired this sale to be made free of con-
ditions imposed by the state of Massa-
chusetts, and Is said to have declared
that an unconditional sale of the Bos-
ton C Maine stock would insure a
price Of &c. 900, 900 above what the
New Haven might otherwise hope to
get.
The New Haven case will be laid
before President Wilson and the cab
met. 1t is not doubted that the de-
partment's course will be approved.
There is little doubt here that On
the heels Of the suit will come any eff
fort to have a federal grand jury In
New York return indictments against
many directors of the New Haven who
served in the days when it was build
ing up a system which the attorney
general holds Is a combination In re-
straint of trade. Both the civil and
criminal actions will be taken under
the Sherman law. The outcome Of
these proceedings may determine the
value of the Sherman law as a Grim
inal statute.
To the civil suit the New Haven is
not expected to make any strong re
.sistance.

the following reasons for unhappy

1.-THE average s1an, when he mar.

a perfect man physically, mentally or
morally. He isn't capable Of making
a woman a decent husband. There

Col. Roosevelt's letter, in which the
former president wrote:
