Plan To REOPEN CASE
Of new HAVEN HALTED
Senator Newlands Reads Letter from
Judge Prouty Saying Little
Would Be Accomplished.
NORRIS RESOLUTION GOES OVER

A letter read in the Senate yesterday
| by Senator NewIands. chairman of the
Committee on Interstate Commerce. that
had been written by Judge Prouty. OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
practically called a halt on the proposed
reopening OF the investigation Of the sf-
fairs OF the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad by the commission.
After the Senate had considered a res
olution introduced by Senator Norris, OF
Nebraska, a few days ago, directing the
commission to reopen the investigation
with a view of fixing individual respon-
sibility, Chairman Newlands came for
ward with the letter from Judge Prouty.
In the letter Judge Prouty stated he
did not believe anything could be accom-
plished by reopening the investigation.
He declared that the commission already
had exhausted its Jurisdiction.
Senator Newlands concurred in the
view expressed by Judge Prouty. The
Prouty letter threw a damper over the
proceedings. At o'clock the resolution
was laid aside. and II will be taken up
again today or Monday for further con-
sideration.
During the debate over the resolution,
Senator Borah said:
II the facts shown In Judge Prouty's
report and in the press are true then
four or FIVE men. II not more. should be
in the penitentiary. The spectacle OF
these men in the penitentiary in stripes
would have a more wholesome effect
than all the laws that we could pass"
Senator Borah was appealing TO Sena-
tor Norris and the advocates Of the reso-
luton to stay their hand for the time
lest they embarrass the administration in
the work Of bringing criminal prosecu-
tions.
Senator Lodge asked Mr.. Norris IL 1t
were not true that there was more in
formation in the possession Of the COM
than had been made public and
Of more damaging character. He said
1t was possible the commission may have
had a reason for pausing in its investi-
cation at the point 1t did lest 1t give
away its hand.
Senator Cummins said there was no
Federal law on the statute books under
which the looterss could be punished.
Then he read Congress lecture for its
negligence in refusing to pass legisla-
ton bringing railroads under Federal
supervision as to their stock issues.

II the compromise measure is framed
in such q way as not TO conflict with the
Federal reserve act. its effect upon bank

will be slight. as most OF the trust COM

trust companies would be exempt from

A world war in furs is predicted as
the result of boycott declared on
June auctions in London by fur deal
ers of Leipsic, who are supported by
the dealers of Vienna and Paris. All
German fur dealers who are members
of the German association have been
ordered to join in the boycott, under
a penalty Of $1,000. More than $780,
100000 worth of furs is sold annually
in Leipsic. London is this city's prin-
cipal rival. The German fur dealers
say the trouble began with London's
annual une auction, which does not
afford sufficient time to work up the
furs bought and sold at the March
auctions. Leipsic dealers asked Lon
don dealers to drop their auction this
year, as $300O0,OO0 worth of furs was
sold at Leipsic in January and March.
and another auction in June would
probably demoraliZe the market. The
London fur men refused to grant this
request and boycott was declared.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

Learned astronomers and profess
sors are discussing revolutionary
changes in our conventional divisions
of time. Some want a year of l3i
months; others want a month of five,
weeks; still others want a day OF 100
hours. One German astronomer has
the good horse sense to say that all
such changes are useless and foolish,l
since the workaday world is entirely
satisfied with the 24-hour day, and
there are no insurrections or move
ments against it. The average man
has so many real problems to worry
about that astronomical objections to
our day, month and year make him
stare. Are there people SO idle, he
wonders, that such things interest
them? But one idea in regard to the
day" is slowly spreading and finding
favor among entirely practical men.
That idea is more daylight" The In
ternational Congress of Chambers of
Commerce, at it's Paris meeting,
passed a resolution recommending
that between May L and October L
work be begun one hour earlier and
ended an hour earlier. This reform,
it was explained, would economizo
light and give workmen more time fol
recreation and pleasure "in the sun"

Although the United States produces
little asbestos, 1t IS the largest pro-
ducer of objects manufactured from
this mineral More than half of the
worlds supply is brought into this
country from Canada and is converted
into articles of commerce. Being
finely fbrous, flexible and incombus-
tible, asbestos can be used in a great
variety of ways. 1t is woven into
cloth for firemen and foundrymen ex-
posed to heat that would burn ordi-
nary clothing and its use for fireproot
curtains in theaters is universal. Ac'
cording to a report made the Unit
ed States produced last year 1,1OO
short tons of asbestos. There were
two producers in Georgia and one in
Arizona. The Arizona product has a
fiber which can be twisted into yarn
0.03 of an inch in thickness that will
support an average weight of fifteen
and half pounds. The amount of
iron 1t contains is considerably moro
than that of the Canadian fiber and
for that reason it is better for insu-
lating purposes.
