 Hearing of testimony in the contest was concluded today before Frank B. Buren, registrar, and c. R. w. Robin son, receiver of the land office.

 Mrs. Wilson Paid s3ooo For Land.
 The exhibits filed in the contest to- day were a certified copy of deed showing President Wilson to be the owner of the land, as trustee for his who, answering query of Goddard, said she had paid ss.000 for the tract and paid taxes on it for three years
 John T. King. who instituted the present contest was the original To- cater of the land, which he took up selling it later to Mrs. Margaret Axson Elliott, who in turn sold it to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. His claim was can celled by the land department in March, 1913. because he had failed to make republication of faulty notice of location.
 King Claims Conspiracy.
 King alleges that he was the victim of conspiracy. He testified he had trusted to his agent. S.L. Compton, to attend to tile republication; but that Compton allowed the claim to lapse and then had his sister Mrs. Maud Compton Hensie, file a homestead en- try on the land. Compton and Mrs. Hensie denied this. Mrs. Hensie tes- tiffed that she filed on the land in good faith, later disposing of her claim to Homer L. Goddard.

R, Fay. vice president of the Swift car lines, declined to challenge the commissions authority but proved @ willing witness today
 Refusal of F. W Ellis, vice presi- dent of the Armour lines. to reply to questions is expected to result in a federal ruling that will establish either the commissions power to enforce an sWers or the witness right to refuse to disclose his business secrets.

NATIONAL CITY. BANK
 JOINS RESERVE SYSTEM
Action Of New York Institution Con-
 trary to Ruinors

- New York, Jan. 2S.-OhiciaIs of the National City bank, the largest in the country, announced this afternoon that In due time the institution would apply for membership in the new federal reserve system.
 This quieted rumors that the nation al city bank contemplated surrender ing it's federal charter and merging with the Corn Exchange bank, the largest state institution. Such an in stitution would create a state bank whose combined resources would prob ably overshadow any regional reserve bank which might be established at this center
 Ffnanciers not affiliated with the city bank expressed surprise when informed of it's intention, because of the opposition to the currency bill maintained by some of its leading of ficers. Moreover. the misunderstood ing said to exist between the bank and treasury department at Washington gave rise to the belief in some quar- ters that the bank was seriously con- sidering the organization Of an insti- tuition which would enable it to be- come formidable competitor of the new reserve system

of directors of the company, at a din- ner given tonight by John A. Sleicher, publisher of a periodical.
 "It is obvious" said MT. Elliott, that It will take considerable time to sell the securities representing ownership, because it will help no one to insist upon forced sales of these properties at a time of excitement"
 Decrease of Gross Income.
 After stating that the gross income of the New Haven properties, not counting the Boston & Maine and On tario & Western, had decreased S3, ,127,- 712 in the five months ending Novem- Der 30, last, owing to higher cost of op- eration, MT Elliott declared his com pany was not suffering from this alone, but that the continued agitation of the last three or fours years also had tend ed to injure it. He did not criticise this agitation, he said, but it was a fact that it had resulted in much dis courag cement and demoralization in the daily work of the railroad, and it would take time, patience and courage to bring the road back to where it should be"
 To Meet Wishes of Public and Govern
 ment-
 Every director of the company, said the speaker, was keenly interested in
 
 a first class business manner" and the desire of the management to meet the wishes of the public served by the railroad and the views of the federal government had been shown by it's readiness to give up all control of the Boston & Maine and sell all securities representing ownership in the prop erty.
 The agreement to withdraw from all participation in the management of the Boston & Albany road was luther proof of this, said Mir. Elliott, adding: Instructions to Officers and Employees
 We have said to our officers and employees all along the line We want You to attend strictly to railroad busi- ness and to try to influence politics, elect or defeat men running for office, but to present the requests of the rail roads to legislative bodies in an open and frank manner We are justified in doing this, and il is our duty to do it and we are entitled to receive fair and frank treatme eut from members of legislative and administrative bodies.
 We have said to our officers and employees: We want you to devote your mental and physical energy to the extent of your ability to working for these companies exclusively and to obeying the laws of the land and the rules and regulations worked out by experience that make for safety and effciency.'"
