DISSOLUTION SUIT AGAINST NEW HAVEN
 ID BE FILED SOON
Negotiations for Peaceful Dissolution Apparently Cl0sed-Railroad Has
 Rested Its Case,

Washington. July I7.-Negotiations be- tween the New Haven railroad and the department Of justice to effect peaceful dissolution of that system apparently came to an end today and unless there are unforeseen developments, the govern ment will file dissolution suit next week. Before it is filed Attorney General Me Reynolds will lay the whole New Haven case before Pre- sident Wilson and ask his approval.
 MT. McReynolds' ears are not closed to further negotiation with railroad off cials, but it was said today that the New Haven has rested it's case. Official notice of the directors action yesterday, refus- ing to accept conditions laid down by Massachusetts for the sale of it's Boston and Maine stock, came during the day There was no intimation of any plan for complying with the governments demand that the Boston and Maine stock be sold.
 It was reported tonight that the New Haven will not fight the governments g suit at all, and might even go so far as to appear in court confess judgment and put it up to the court to determine whether dissolution shall be ordered.
 How far the governments bill may go in asking for a dissolution is doubtful. At one time the bill contained a provision asking for the separation from the New Haven of the old New England railroad. secured years ago and considered a vital part of the system There was some question as to whether the Sherman act will apply to the New England, and it is possible that this feature will be eimi- mated from the bill. If it is retained and the government should win, the New Haven would be stripped to it's shore line and a few feeders.
