Him sweat beneath the hat.

From far. or right near by?
II you don't know I'll tell you
The truckman is the guy.

Stockholders Grudgingly
Agree to Federal Plan
Hitch in Finances.
WAR SCARE BLAMED
FOR ALLEGED HOLD-UP
Hint That Some Directors Must
Go Starts Report That
Billiard Will Retire.
from a stan Correspondent Of Ire Tribune

From a stan Correspondent OF Tne Irioune'i
New Haven, April N-Althoush inc
stockholders OF the New Haven Railroad
to-day, Overwhelmingly though some
what grudgingly, ratified the dissolution
agreement made by the officers Of the
companv with the government. there
were two things that came TO hgh'
which seemed TO overshadow the ratln-
cation One was that there Is a serious
hitch IN the plans 10 raise S65, 100000, ana
the other the intmation that the COM
pany intends soon 10 get rid or some oil
the deadwood on the board OF directors
by reducing the number OF the members
The approval of the agreement was not
unexpected, and the vote OF 95s.3fS for 70
700 against II came as no surprise. inc
hitch IN the financial plans was unex-
pected. however, and while no mention OF
II was made 10 the stockholders, enough
was learned to indicate that settlement
is not expected when Il comes up again
al a conference in New York tomorrow.
The reduction IN the number OF d.
rectors from q to between Is and q was
authorized by the stockholders In
change of the bylaws. While the reasons
for the change were not given out. one OF
the directors let Il be known that the
present board had proved too cumber-
some. and that an effort would be made
TO reduce II to as near fifteen as possible.
Mr. Elliott told the stockholders several
designations were expected before the an
nual meeting in october. He declined TO
mention names. but said that several d.
rectors had expressed a willingness to
resign. An unconflrmed report here had II
that John X Billiard was one OF them
Mr. Billiard vas here to-day, but did not
attend the meeting
One Of the directors said that the pos
sible effect of the Mexican situation on

prosecution and testify freely before any
legally constituted investigating body
with respect to his conduct while in pub
lie Office is not At to hold Office"
The grand Jury would also give con-
tractor a hearing before Withholding his
pay when work has been delayed by labor
troubles. 1t Is also suggested that any
person who is employed for compensa-
ton TO assist a contractor In the procur-
Ing OF contract for public work be
obliged 10 sign and file a statement with
public officer 10 that effect. The re-
naming suggestions would make It a
felony to conspire 10 defraud the state
and would prevent the solicitation Of cam
paign contributions from any contractor
engaged on public work.
In the course of the investigation the
grand jury examined ffty-seven wit
nesses. including the highest officials of
the Board OF Water Supply and practical
ly every contractor who had been award
ed any substantial construction contract.
Besides the Hassett indictment, the
work Of the grand Jury has resulted in
one indictment being found against
Everett Fowler, charging him with ex-
tortion, and two indictments against Ar
thur A. Mclean. charging him with re-
ceiving campaign funds from a corpora
ton Mclean pleaded guilty last Janu-
airy.

STETSON DIFFERS
WITH O'GORMAN
Saws Tolls View Of President and
Congress Stands for Peoples
JUDGMENT.

Francis Lynde stetson. in an open let
ter 10 Senator OGorman. chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Interoceanc
Canals. yesterday took issue with the
New York Senator and delicately sug-
gested 10 him that he was out OF har-
mony with the majority thought OF the
country in opposing the plan Of President
Wilson 10 repeal the American coastwise
vessel tolls exemption in the Panama
Canal bill.
Mr.. Stetson bases his difference OF opin-
ion on the Hay-Pauncefote and Clayton
Bulwer treaties, which said that 'ail ma
lions" should have the free and open
use OF the canal for vessels OF commerce
and war" Since the United States Is a
nation" our vessels Of commerce or
war" are entitled to no special privileges
under the treaty
Mr.. Stetson disclaims any personal bias
because OF his transportation connections
or his association with peace organiza-
lions He insists that the United states
would stand disgraced before the world
II II confessed to being a treaty breaker
by violating the plain language OF the
-Pauncefote treaty.
Mr.. stetson continues:
ut would seem a justifable Inference
that. in accepting the treaty provisions In
their plain sense. the President the
House and the concurring Senator'S fairly
represent tho Judgment of a majority
both of the American people and OF the
Democratic party"

MARKS TO USE AXE
ON NAIL PLATFORMS
Notifies BurIeson That Dey st.
Must Be Cleared of Present
MenaceS.

Borough President Marks is on the
verge OF declaring war against tho fed
eral government He Issued an ult-
ratum yesterday informing Postmaster
General Burleson that unless the mall
loading platforms at the sub-station on
the Dey st. side OF the Hudson Terminal
Building were removed at once, he
CMarks) would proceed at once with all
the forces under his command. In other
words, the Borough President has de-
clared the platforms 10 be membranes.
and has decided they must go In spite OF
the protest OF the Postmaster General.
II the government does not remove them
the Borough Presidents axemen will.
The mail trucks back IN over the side
walk TO the platform, preventing pedes-
TRANS from passing through except at
the risk OF being struck by moving
trucks.
The Postmaster General says that II
would be impossible TO properly handle
the great amount OF mall matter at this
station without the platforms. He
thought the advantage TO the business
interests should lead Mr.. Marks TO per-
NIT the platforms TO remain.
