Finances, Says Charles
A. Conant

Washington, February GA possibility
of compromise between the New York
Stock exchange and the Senate banking
and currency committee on terms of a
bin to provide federal regulation of stock
exchanges was suggested today at the
committee hearing. H. X Pomeroy,
once president of the exchange and now
on the board of governors and the listing
committee, agreed at the request of Sem
ator Pomerene to submit in writing sug-
gestions as to legislation he would deem
advisable.
Mr.. Pomeroy had laid before the COM
mittee the listing rules of the New York
exchange and promised to furnish the
constitution and rules of other exchanges
IL the United States. lie asserted that
the New York exchange was the only
organization having drastic rules as to
listing securities AMI that stocks listed

Senator Pomerene asked If legislation
requiring other exchanges to have equal
ly drastic rules would not be beneficial
Mr.. Pomeroy replied that it would and
agreed to draft a plan as a basis for such
legislation.
Conant's Opinion
Charles A. Conant OF New York, pre-
scnted by those opposing the pending bill
as an expert on economies, told the COM
mittee that il was seeking ito use a lS-
inch gun to shoot a canary and that

value of investments and without which
he would be at the mercy of designing

The witness urged the committee mol to
press action aimed at stock exchanges

time t. show the fun effects of the new
tariff and currency laws. The latter, he

NEW HAVEN HEADS
CRIMINALS, SAYS
SENATOR B0RAH
Senator Attacks Alleged FL
nancial Transactions of
Road Direct0rs-Urges
Further Investigation

Washington. February 6-Men involved
in some of the past financial transactions
of the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad were denounced today as
criminals in the Senate Senator Borah
said they should be occupying peniten-
tiary cells if charges relating to the cor
poration's affairs are suhstantiated
There were intimations that the federal
government still contemplates nstituting
criminal action against certain individuals
engaged in transactions of the New Haven
which have been investigated by the in
terstate commerce commission. The dis
cussion arose when Senator Norris of
Nebraska, called up his resolution to di-
rect the committee to extend its inquiry
into the New Haven's affairs. particular
ly with a view to ascertaining what be-
came of millions of dollars of the New
Haven's funds declared 10 have been
frandulently Withheld from the railroads
stockholders.
Urges Further Probe
Senator Norris insisted that further in
vestigation at least might furnish basis
for proceedings by the present manage
ment of the New Haven to recover some-
thing for the widows or orphans who have
been ''plundered."
Reciting circumstances disclosed in the
interstate commerce commission s report
on New England railroad conditions, the
senator declared that the commission
had not completed its investigation as
to the New Haven because it might be
compelled to extend immunity to offend
ers. 1t was his reading of sections of
the report that prompted Senator Borah
to assert that men, if proven guilty of
the financial transaction described
should be in the penitentiaries.'
Senator Boran declared his faith in the
Attorney General to push prosecutions of
certain men involved in alleged crooked
New Haven deals. For him not to pro-
ceed on disclosures made, IL ground for
the revelations should prove sound, he
said would lay the Attorney General open
to impeachment.
Prouty Expresses Doubt
Former Commissioner Prouty in a let
ter to E. e. Clark, chairman of the COM
mission. forwarded 10 Senator Newlands,
chairman of the interstate commerce
committee. expressed doubt in the wisdom
of a further inquiry into the New Haven.
In this letter, which was read to the Sem
ate, Mr.. ,Prouty asserted that the commits
sion had in its possession all information
1t had been possible for 1t to obtain with
relation to the New Haven's affairs.
A Senate committee. Mr.. Prouty sug-
gested could accomplish more than the
commission, because the latter had no
Jurisdiction over affairs OF some construc-
ton companies and other concerns which
were involved in the railroads deals. Con-
sideration Of the resolution will be re-
siYned Tomorrow in the Senate.
