Liable For Loss.
Washington, July 14.-In one of the
harshest reports ever handed down
by a government bureau, the inter
state commerce commission held the
directors of the old management OF
the New Haven railroad crlmlnally
negligent and subject to prosecution
under the Sherman antitrust and 9TH
er laws.
The commission has put the matter
of criminal proceedings up to Attor
ney General McReynolds by referring
to him a complete record OF the testi
mony taken before the commlttee
The committee also has called the at
tention of Attorney Whitman and the
prosecuting officers in Massachusetts
and Rhode Island to possible VIOLA
lions of state laws.
The commission estimates that be
tween $6O,OOO,000 and $90,0O0,OOO has
been lost to the New Haven stockhold
ers through waste and impairment Oh
values under the old management. l,
expresses the opinion that a part al
least of this amount should be recov
cred from the individual directors
and others.
"The result of our research Into the
financial workings of the former man
agement of the New Haven SYSTEM
says the report, "has been to disclose
one of the most glazing instances O
NAL administration revealed in all tint
history of American railroads"
The commission finds that the lat'
J. P. Morgan and Charles H. Meller
dominated the affairs of the New Ha
ven road and that other members O
the board of directors subordinatet
themselves to the will of these two
The commission refers repeatedly
however, to the New Haven directo
rate and officers as the "Mellen-M Nor
gan-Rockefeller management"
Of the individual responsibility o
the New Haven directors the commits
sion's report says:
at is inconceivable that these
wrongs could have gone on without In
reference if the members of thu
board of directors had been true tt
the faith they owed to the stockhold-
ers. A number of directors appear tt
have voted in many instances withou
knowledge and to have approved thu
expenditure of many millions withou
information.
According to the testimony the!
merely approved what had been done
,-by some committee or by some office
of the company. The directors min

crime to plumber stockholders or thu
public through railroad corporation
as it is to personally rob an indi
vidual."
The commission characterizes thu
New Haven monopoly as thorough!
corrupt.

Washington, July 1.-Two disturb
ing developments in the Mexican SIT
uation were received here.
General Venustiano Carranza, :hrst
chief of the Constituencies, Tor
mally notified the United States gov
eminent that he would engage IN nc
mediation whatever with the Huerta
delegates and would accept only aDso
lutte surrender.
Almost at the some time word came
from authoritative sources IN MEXICO
civ that unless the contendlng 1ac
lions reached a quick agreement
Francisco Carvajal, the new minister
of foreign affairs, would sever MS con
uection with the administration.
Caryaial. who was recently appoint
ed TO the cabinet by Huerta, was eN-
pected to succeed him as provisional
president and to arrange the terms OH
which the government would be turn
ed over to a man fully acceptable to
the Constitutionalists.
Although the refusal OF Carranza
TO enter upon any mediation was moi

an end definitely to any hope that re-

expected that pressure would be

untenable.

cannot be hot. The great law Of

since La Place, overthrows this idea

the equatorial mass was abandoned

became a planet, the first being
