Senator Weeks Charges
Waste of Much Time

Washington, March 16.-"They are
fiddling away while Rome is burn
ing" said Senator Weeks, Republican,
of Massachusetts, today, after con-
ference with President Wilson in
which he declared the New Haven
Railroad conferees with the depart
ment of justice were wasting time and
that executive influence was required
to bring them together promptly.
1t was understood that the Senator
suggested to the President that he call
in Attorney General McReynolds, Gov
ernor Walsh of Massachusetts,, Chair-
man Howard Elliott of the New Hav-
en- and T. w. Gregory, special counsel
for the department of justice, and
bring about an agreement.
The President had a conference ar
ranged with the attorney general later
today and it was not supposed that he
would determine upon his course until
then. Senator Weeks pointed out what
he believed to be q serious aspect OF
the situation.
THE New Haven" he said, must
raise about $10o,O00,00O in the next
four months to meet maturing obliga-
tons and under present conditions 1T
cannot. There is one man who can
bring all the various elements togeth-
er. He is the President of the United
States"
Senator Weeks indicated that he
had not discussed the merits of the
demands of the New Haven and the
department of justice, but emphasized
the necessity for prompt action. he
did not agree with the demand OF the
department with reference to the time
to be given to the New Haven for dis
posal of it's holdings in the Boston d
Maine. He said that if the period were
fixed at three years the court should
have the power to extend that time II,
in the opinion of the trustees, 1t is
deemed advisable. The Senator con-
tended that was necessary in order to
obtain a better price on the sale, and
that railroads which knew that the
New Haven had to sell within GER
tain time would offer low price for
the property.
The attorney generals view Is that
the property should be disposed OF
within the next two and half to
three years before the close of the
present administration because he
thinks the responsibility for the dis
solution of the New Haven should not
be left to any future administration.

FATEOFSUFFRACE
RESOLUTION is
UNCERTAIN WITH
mon. BUBBLES

Washington. March 16.-With vari-
Gus factions in the woman suffrage
movement pulling at cross purposes in
attempting to influence the Senate as
to when it should start on the reso-
luton proposing a constitutional
amendment extending the right of
suffrage to women the fate of the res
olution was still in doubt tonight.
The amendment was taken up for
discussion and will come up again to-
morrow as unfinished business.
Many senators expressed the hope
tonight that a vote would be reached
within a few days. Senator Ashurst
favors delaying action until after May
2, but he announced his conviction
that no votes would be gained for the
resolution thereby. Champions of the
resolution admit it will not receive
the necessary two thirds majority.

NEW HAVEN CASE
Continued from Page one)

Massachusetts to provide clear time for
purchasers of the Boston & Maine.
The New Haven directors have APPROX
ed the steps taken here by Mr.. Elliott and
their counsel and the 20 X" on a final
agreement, it is believed, would carry
sufficient weight with the stockholders
to insure acceptance.
To carry the agreement to the stock
holders probably would consume a
month. To secure the legislation in
Massachusetts might take longer
time, but with the stockholders, the
railroads lawyers and the federal gov
eminent in accord, it is the hope of
officials here that Massachusetts, will
quickly fall in line.
With Messrs. Gregory and Adkins in
New England, the untangling marked
time here today, although Chairman
Elliott remained in Washington and
Senator Weeks after his talk with
President Wilson issued a statement
discussing the situation.
Attorney General McReynolds later
visited the White House and incident
ally took up the New Haven case with
the President.
In this connection, it became known
tonight that department officials do
not feel that they have been dilatory
in attempting to reach settlement.
81 is known that after the last meet
ing of the New Haven board in New
York and the receipt here of letter
setting forth the boards views and
demands, Attorney General McRey-
nolds became impatient over the fact
that Chairman Elliott and counsel for
the road did not appear to continue
the negotiations. 1t was said that
when they did reach Washington they
were informed that the department
expected them to remain here until the
matter was settled, and that repeated
consultations with the directors would
not be expected in the future.

MASKED BANDIT
TRIES HOLD-UP
OF A TRAIN IN
MASSACHUSETTS

Plymouth, Mass, March ia
masked man, armed with two revolvers
attempted to hold up a passenger train
on the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad today.
The train which had come from
Providence, r. l., had passed Darby
Station when the man appeared on
the track, pointing his revolvers at
the train.
The train slowed down, and the en-
gineer sounded his whistle several
times, but the masked man held his
place until the locomotive was almost
upon him. Then he slid few feet
down the embankment, and pointed
his revolver at the windows of the
coaches. The passengers dropped I'M
der cover but no shots were fired and
the train soon left the man behind.
The incident was reported to Chief
of Police William E. Baker, who went
to the scene in an automobile. He
found no trace of the man except for
the print in the sand and the marks
showing where he had crouched on
the embankment.

Mr. Mayer in speaking of the offer
after issuing the statement, said
I'VE have reached our limit and any
further overtures must come from Mr.
Taft. The outlay in purchasing the
club would be approximately $780,

club would be a paying investment on
half that sum, if the grandstand was
not erected I do not mean by this,
however, that we have given up hope
of obtaining the Cubs.
