Object of Billiard Company.
- 1t is claimed that Mr.. Billiard organized
the Billiard Company and that the main
object of its Organization was TO deal
in Boston and Maine securities. In Sub
stance IL was alleged by the commission
that the Billiard Company was a dummy
company. which diverted large sums OF
money from the New Haven system, es-
timated at from S2OOo 900 to l4OO0. 900, and
the object of the investigation is to dis
close who got the money.

Jones Predicts Trouble.

Senator O'Gorman was absent from

Senators were 9t the Capitol, so that
Interest and comment on the canal tolls
question was suspended. The most in
teresting development OF the day was
a statement by Senator Jones' Of WASH
ington, i'm which he pointed out what he
conceived would be trouble resulting from
the passing through the canal free OF tolls
Of Colombian warships.
The announcement of this treaty by
Secretary of State Bryan must GER
tainly be embarrassing to the advocates
OF tolls exemption repeal in the Senate"
said Senator Jones. 1T leaves them
without a leg TO stand on. The whole
basis OF the argument of those OF us who
oppose repeal Is that the exemption of
tolls to coastwise ships does not consti-
tute a violation OF the treaty. because
the treaty merely binds us to treat the
ships of all other nations alike. Now 1t
would seem TO me that the passage
through the canal free OF tolls of CO.
lombian battleships would end this view
Of the case entirely. II would give us a
perfect right to discriminate In other
