Bay State to Sue
 For Failure of N. 1T.
 To Obey Injunction

Boston, Aug. 1-The Massachusetts public service commission yesterday requested Attorney General Boynton to bring such action as he considers necessary against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company for alleged disregard of an injunction issued by the supreme court in 1909, restraining the railroad from acquir- ing, either directly or indirectly, stock in any street railway company in the state.
 The commission. in it's letter to the attorney-general. wrote:
 Tn the interstate commerce com missions report of the investigation of the financial transactions of the New Haven are statements to the, effect that the New England investment and security company had as its primary purpose to take from and hold for the New Haven the Massachusetts trolley interests of that company
 An opinion on the legality of $53.- 100000 of New Haven stock was re- quested of the attorney general in an other letter from the public service commission later in the day. The amount represents the total issues since 19101
 The legality of the stock has been questioned because it is alleged to have been issued without the ap- provaI of the public service commis- sion or the railroad commission.

Charlie Hemphill Had
 Long Baseball Career

Charlie Hemphi1l, whose connection with Class AA baseball has come to 3. close with his departure from the St. Paul club recently, has had a distin- guished diamond career.
 HemphiIl started his professional ca- reer with the Grand Rapids team In the Interstate League in 1898. The fol- lowing year he was with Cleveland hitting .274. Then he returned to Grand Rapids for part of 1S99 finish ing the year with Springfield and Co., 1umbus.
 In 1900 he was with Kansas City, where he hit .319. Tn 1901 he played with the Boston American League team, and for the succeeding three sea- sons was with the St. Louis Browns. In 1905 he was with the Saints and that year he led the league in hitting, with 364. In 1906 and 1907 he was with was member of the New York Amer ican League team.
 He left the Highlanders at the close of the season of 1911 to try his luck as manager in the Southern League

 umphs, and for several months hit
 around the $50 mark His batting fell off toward the close os the season, but he made a. good start this season and
 was hitting well over 300 when he wrenched the tendons of his left ankle at Kansas City. Since then his ankle 1 has remained weak and his hitting s1If- fered in consequence.

Billiard Resigns From
 New Haven Directorate

New Haven, Aug 1.-The resigna- ton of John L.. Billiard of Meriden. Ct, from the directorates of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad co. was announced yesterday. Homer S.. Cummings of Stamford his counsel, made the announcement after a. con- ference with MT. Billiard
 MT Cummings statement says that MT Billiard desired to resign several months ago in order to be relieved from business cares, but refrained be- cause 'ft did not seem desirable to take any step which might change the status of affairs while the interstate commerce. commission was investigat- ing the financial transactions of the New York, New Haven & Hartford llRai1road Co.,
 The statement continues: 'iIn view of the fact, however. that that inves- tigation has been completed and a for nal report filed, MT. Billiard now feels free to submit his resignation. It 1 is only fair to say that there is an additional reason for filing his resigna- | tions
 "The report of the interstate conn merce commerce commission deals in part with the relations between the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Go. and the Billiard company IA committee of the directors of the railroad has been appointed to in | VeSIASdCe ai1d report further upon LIS BilIard company affairs, so far as the railroad company may be interested l in them.
 MT. Billiard thought that his contin, ued presence on the board of direc- tors might possibly be embarrassing tc his associates in conducting that inves- tigation, and 1t is his wish that sucf | investigation should be as full and complete and unlimited in scope as the most exacting could require. Un. der these circumstances it will be man ifest that the action taken by MT Billiard was dictated by the strfctes | seTBe of propriety.''

THIS SEASON DUPLICATES INJURIES
 AND LONG GAMES OF LAST YEAR

the Princeton-Yale football game on Saturday, November IA. According to the contractors estimates the last of the concrete will be poured early in October, giving more than a month for the settling necessary before the seats and superstructure can be put in place.
 Special attention is being given to the playing field and it is believed that the plan for the construction of the gridircn will end the swampy com dttions that have marred games play ed during or imm ediate1y following 8 heavy rain. A large quantity of rock will be broken up and used as 9 six-inch layer under the playing sur face, and will provide an effective f1l- ter for moisture. On. this layer of rock there will be eighteen inches of top-soil, through which tile drains will be laid every twenty-five feet, with 8 pitch of one foot from the middle to the edge, to carry water off
 to the sides.
 Motorboat devotees are to have their period of internati onal compe- tition during the next two weeks in the races for the Harrnsworth trophy at Cowes. Isle of Wight. The United States will be represented in the struggle for the worlds speed cham pionship, meeting the fastest motor boats of England, France and Ger many. The American entry is Dis turber ", built by Commodore Jas.
 A. PuFh, of Chicago. which has shown bursts of speed close to fifty
 miles per hour. The cup challenger 1 is hydroplane in type, fitted with en- zones of 1900 horsepower and the officers of the Motor Boat Club of
 America believe that the western wa ter flyer has an excellent chance of regaining the trophy.
 The Initial races of the series will
 be held to-day with the running of the English eltninations. Four cup defenders are eligible, three of the boats being those used by the British Royal Motor Yacht C1u5 in success
 fully defending the cup last year. In der the deed of gift each country may l be represented by teams of three mo- torboats, but the United States will have but one entry, as was the case l last year, when Ankle Deep ran third twice and second once, in the three races necessary to give Maple Leaf "
 of the English team the 1918 cham pionship. The winning boat averaged
 over 56 miles per hour in her first 1 victory.

NEW BLACK FRIDAY
 CLOSED UP MARKET

New York, Aug. IA new Black Friday must be entered upon the worlds financial history, for there must be heraIded an unprecedented world closed and but one primary commodity market open, the Chicago Board of Trade, for the trading of grain. Failure Of several stock ex- change firms added to the general feeling of unrest, but in at least one instance the downfall was due to car rying big speculative accounts in cot ton which broke about $4 a bale in a. short space of time.
 So far as the New York stock Ex- change was concerned, it was the second instance in te history Of this institution that such a step was found necessary because of extraordinary events. The precedent was established in 1873 when for a ten day period in September the exchange remained closed. Again in 1901, following the May panic, the exchange closed for a. Saturday morning in order to per init brokers to catch up with posting their books.
 Bankers conferences have been found necessary for the first time since 1907. The house Of Morgan again figures large in this connection, for the present head has followed in his late fathers footsteps in his efforts to prevent alarm
 The stock exchange was closed by the board of governors because of pressure brought to bear by it's mem bers and not by reason of outside in huence. It would prove an unneces- l sary sacrifice of customers, one of the governors declared.
 There has been no calling Of loans aside from the usual day to day ac- ton in this respect. The stock ex- change will remain closed indefinitely 1 and no outside trading can take place owing to ruling that deliveries could not be made while the exchange re- mains idle

Judge Without Power
 To Stop R. R. Merger

Detroit, Mich, Aug 1.-The New York Central-Lagke Shore Railroad anti-merger suit of Charles J. Spen- cer, of New Jersey, and other minor ity stockholders Of the Lake Shore road, came to an abrupt end when Judge Futile of the United States District Court decided he had no jur- isdiction in the action.
 Spencer had asked for injunction to prevent the proposed merger of the two railroad systems on tlle ground that 1t not only would be violation of the Sherman antitrust law, but would work a hardship on the stock holders Of the Lake Shore, who own only ten per cent of the stock of the road.
