ANOTHER BLOW
TO new HAVEN.
Supreme CONTAMINATION
sent to Issue Of Bonds
To Amount Of 100000, Ap-
proyedby Public Service Com.
Such an Issue Must Relate to the
Present and Not 10 Future.

Boston, Jan. 9.-The Public Service
Commissions order giving consent TO
the issue by the New York, New HaV-
en- & Hartford Railroad Co. of $6t ooo,-
600 of convertible debenture bonds was
annulled today by the supreme court,
which declared the approval of such
convertible issue beyond the authority
Of the commission.
The proposed bonds carried an OPP
ton of exchange for stock at par aft
er five years from date.
The opinion of the court, which was
unanimous, was written by Chief JUS
tice Rugg. 1t said in part:
THE approval by the commission OF
an issue of stock must relate to the
present and not to a remote future.
This is required by the legislative in
tent disclosed by the review of the
statutes.
The amount of stock which the
commission intelligently can approve
to be issued is inseparable from the
price at the price which it is to be is
sued The price at which the public
interest may require that 1t may be
issued during a period of 10 years, be-
ginning five years hence, is impossible
of ascertaining now. But the approval
of convertible debentures with the
right to take stock at par in payment
during that period involves fixing a
price of the stock during the like pc
riod. An order entered now that stock
be issued at par during that period OF
tine can afford no security that the
corporation will get an adequate re-
turn for it's stock, or that rates and
charges fixed upon such a caritaliza-
ton will be fair, or that the rights of
the stockholders will be guarded prop
erly. The mandatory requirement of
the statute that the commission shall
base it's decision as to the amount of
stock to be issued. upon the price at
which it is to be put out is inconsist-
ent with the underlying idea of con-

Negotiation Between Refin-
ing Co. and Dept. Justice
Broken Off Pending Dissolution
Suit Under Antitrust Act.
Hope Of a Peaceful Settlement In
This Case Merely a Glimmer.

WASHINGTON Jan. 9.--Negotiations be-
tween the American Sugar Refining
Co. and the department of justice have
come to an abrupt halt. and unless
the so-calied trust agrees to meet de-
mands for reorganization, the
pending suit to dissolve it under the
sherman antitrust act will be pressed
with vigor by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds.
For the past week officials have
been hopeful that recent conferences
between Mr.. McReynolds and Snowden
Marshall, United States district at
torney at New York, would result In
a peaceful settlement OF the sugar
Trust suit, which was filed more than
three years ago. This hope was shat
tered today when word came from
New York that the negotiations had
failed. Department officials tonight
declined to discuss the case.
Although the department can no
nothing now except continue its pros
eeution of the combine, it is not de-
MED that an about face by the sugar
Co. and a desire to meet the govern
ment requirements would propaply
lead TO q re-opening OF the nesotla-
tons. This is the first failure OF ne
eotiations of this sort since the Amer

Boston, Jan. 9.-Bankers from five
New England states and a part of
Connecticut endorsed the idea of a re-
gional bank in this city at the hearing
here today before Secretaries McAdoo
and Houston, the committee on reserve

Objections to the plan came from
Hartford and New Haven, while
Springfield, Pittsfield, Rutland and
Burlington were not heard from.
The committee listened to 40 wit
nesses during its two sessions and
will hear a score more tomorrow. The
greater part of the testimony today
appeared to be cumulative. majority
of bankers believing that the district
should include all New England. Pres
ident j. H. ONeill of the Federal Trust
Co., favored going outside New Eng
land and taking in the northern part
of New York.
Maine and New Hampshire bankers
were strongly for a regional bank here,
and two from Brattleboro and Bethel,
VT, also believed that this city should
be the financial center, although they
admitted that western Vermont was
somewhat affiliated with New York.
Robert w. Taft of Providence said that
five out of eight banks in his city ia
vored Boston, one was strong for New
York, While the other two were neu-
tral.
Nathan A. Gibbs of Norwich, CT, in
sisted that the Boston system of con-
troll was far ahead of New York's, but

FOUR DROWN.
Motor Boat from BattIeShip
Wyoming Capsizes
In Hampton Roads Near Where
Similar Accident Occurred, 1907,
Carrying Heavy Load and Founder.
ed In Trough Of Sea.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 9.-The capsizing
on Hampton Roads today of motor
cutter from the battleship Wyoming,
flagship of the Atlantic fleet, resulted
in the loss of life of four seamen of
the Wyoming's crew. The accident &C.
Cured near the spot where the launch
from the battleship Minnesota went
down in 1907 with II men, most of
them young midshipmcn, returning
from a social function at the James
town Exposition grounds.
Owing to the fact that the Wyoming
is anchored far in the Roads and the
rough seas in the Roadstead make it
almost impossible for small boats to
navigate, reports concerning the acct
dent are meagre.
When the craft got two miles off Old
Point and a half mile from the Wy
oming she struck unusually heavy
seas and began to take in water. She
was carrying a heavy load, including
steel wheel barrows and soon found
cred after getting into q trough Of
the sea and becoming unmanageable.
OF the 16 men who We're thrown into
the water, but II are reported to have
been saved by the rescuing tug. The
bodies of three are said to have been
recovered by boats from the Wyom-
ing Unofficial reports from the Wy
oming give the number lost as five
men, with efforts being made to re-
vive others who were taken from the
water unconscious. Olaf K. Olson of
Portsmouth, one of those taken out
alive, died from exposure.
T. II. Quinn, another sailor carried
away by the strong tide, was taken
from a buoy six miles out in lower
Chesapeake Bay. Quinn was clinging
to the buoy all but exhausted when
picked up.

He said that while there was friend

and for this reason was investigating
the general industrial conditions in the

DisneInberment Of System
Is Information in N. Y.
Meeting Of Executive Committee
OF New Haven Road Is Held.
Chairman Elliott Returns to Wash.
ington Immediately After.

New York, Jan. 9.--Marked pro-
gress is being made towards.the dis
memberment of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad system
along the lines directed by the gov
eminent, according to information that
came today from another special
meeting of the roads executive COM
mittee at which Chairman Howard Ell
lott presided.
Mr.. Elliott passed the greater part
of the week in Washington, where he
and some of the legal representatives
of the New Haven were in daily con-
ference with Attorney General Mercy
nolds and other representatives of the
department of justice. Practically all
of today's meeting was devoted to a
discussion of these conferences, but
Mr. Elliott later declined to say what
decision if any had been reached by
the committee. The fact that the
chairman announced his intention Of
returning to Washington at midnight
was accepted as indicating that an
agreement regarding some of the more
important points at issue is under
way.
There were also meetings today OF
the subsidiary companies. The direc-
tors of the Westehester Street Rail-
way Co. elected Howard Elliott as d.
rector and president of the company
and L. S. Storrs, vice president. The
New England Navigation Co. board
met and presented reports of direc-
| tors. The Westport Water Co. board
elected Howard Elliott a director and
president and L. S. Storrs vice presi-
dent. The Vermont Co. board elected
Howard Elliott director and president.
New York, Jan. 9.-Mr. Elliott be-
fore leaving tonight for Washington
reiterated his declination to discuss the
decision, but added:
Il desire to say, however, that the
company has not been unmindful of
the fact that the decision of the su-
| preme court might be adverse and
that it has been making preparations
| for taking care of its finances in such
event. Steps will be taken promptly to
perfect plans and to carry them into
| effect.
AS none of the short term notes
natures before the middle of May,
there is abundant opportunity for the
company to make the necessary ar
rangements.'
