Washington, Feb. 6.--Men involved
in some OF the past financial perform
ances of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad officials wee
denounced as criminals in the Sen
ate today. Senator Borah said they
should be occupying penitentiary
cells if charges relating to the corpor
atoms affairs are substantiated.
There were limitations that the
federal government still contemplate
es instituting criminal action against
certain individuals engaged in tran
sactions of the New Haven. which
have been investigated by the inter
state commerce commission.
The discussion arose when Senator
Norris of Nebraska called up his reso
luton which would direct the com
mission to extend its inquiry into the
New Ravens affairs, particularly
with view to ascertaining what be
came of millions of dollars OF the
New Ravens funds declared to have
been f.audulently withheld from the
railroads stockholders.
Senator Norris insisted that fur
Their investigation at least might fur
nish a basis for proceedings by the
present management of the New Ha-
ven to recover something for the wi
dows or orphans who have bee.
"plundered." Recltlng c.,cumstanc-
es disclosed in the interstate com
merce commissions report on New
England railroad condition, the sen
ator declared that the commission
had not completed it's investigation
as to the New Haven because it fear
ed it might be compelled to extend
immunity to offenders.
II was his reading Of sections .
this report that prompted Senator
Borah to assert that men, if proven
guilty of the financial transactions
described, should be in the penten-
tiaries.' Senator Borah declared his
faith in the attorney general to push
prosecutions of certain men involved
in alleged crooked New Haven deals.

closures made, If ground for the teve

CH|NAMAN FOUND
MURDERED IN
ST. ALBANS
Had Been Resident of City For
Twenty Years
SKULL HAD BEEN FRACTURED
Chin Kim Money and Watches Were
Not Taken-Officers Have No
Clue

st. Adams, Feb. 6.--No clew has
been obtained to the murdered OF
Chin Kim the chinaman who for sew
eral years had conducted second
hand store on Catherine street and
whose body was found lying in a pool
Of blood at his store at 8 this morn
ing when Sheriff George C. Holmes
broke in a door after he had been
summoned TO the place.
When the door was broken in Chin
Kim was found lying dead on his
Dlood-saturated fur coat. There was
a compound fracture of the skull
near the base and'it looked as If the
man had been struck on the back Of
the head with a heavy blunt instru-
ment. No one can be found who saw
Chin Kim last evening after O'Clock
when he was seen going home.
D.. B. II. Stone state pathologist,
of Burlington and DR.. c. A. Dalton,
also of the state laboratory. arrived
this afternoon and conducted an au-
topsy.
There were no signs of a strugglt
or that the body had been dragged
to the location where 1t was found
AT first robbery was thought to be
the motive but this theory was soon
eliminated as the dead mans keys
were found in his pocket and when
his safe was opened $50 was found.
On Kim's body was a Hamilton
watch, valued at about s35, which
was running and registered correct
time Another watch, Of less value,
was found and $3.50 in change was
found in the mans pockets.
Chin Kim came here 90 years ago
from Worcester, Mass, and for a
long time conducted a laundry. A
few years ago he opened second
hand store. He was we'll disposition
ed and evidently led an uneventful
life.
\ few years ago his store was burg
larized and at that time he lost his
naturalization papers. Whether The
had some enemy is not known.
