N. H. DIRECTORS MUST ACCOUNT FOR
 $2O0,OOO, 900 LOST
Samuel Untermyer Declares Surface Barely Scratched
 By Probe.

Pittsburgh, May 23-Samuel Unter- myer, the noted New York lawyer, re- ferred to an unusual phase of the New Haven Railroad manipulation in an address before the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, and said that ultimately the New Haven directors will have to account for $200. .OOo, 900.
 Policy holders of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, MT. Untermyer 000, 900 through depreciation of New Haven stock. which George F. Baker and the Morgan banking interests in- sist on the company retaining so they can vote it to dominate the affairs of the rai1road4x
 As indicating the close relations of the operations of the various de- partments of the Money Trust to one another, said MT. Untermyer, call your attention in this connec- tion to a few significant facts.
 .'The Mutual Life held, s5,640 shares of New Haven stock. The law passed in 1906 required them to dis pose Of all their stock within five years.
 s.The New Haven stock, which is now selling. at $68 per share, could readily have been marketed during those years at $200 or thereabouts. The company has not parted with a S4i1Ie ! lie ullAeEeiieS III priCe iiiS<silS a loss of $5,000,o 900 to policy holders"
 MT. Untermyer said the present de- pression in business was due to the lawlessness and corruption in the management Of our great corpora. tioI1s,'' which have destroyed the con fidence of foreign investors in Ameri- can securities.
 There is nothing exceptional or that should be considered surprising.'s he said, about the disclosures with respect to the management of the New Haven road. The investigation thus far has barely scratched the surface. There is a total of $20o, 1000, 1000 that must be accounted flor by the New Haven directors.

PUBLIC IMPATIENCE IS EMBARRASSING
 PEACE DELEGATES
Envoys Are Spending Time Learning Each Others
 Tdiosyncracies.
Results of Conference May Change Interpretation of
 Monroe Doctrine.

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 23-A great deal of embarrassment is felt by the envoys of Brazil, Argentine and Chile, as well as by the delegates of Washington and Mexico City gov ernments because of the impatience of the public which is awaiting an adjustment of the Mexican question Every day they are overwhelmed with inquiries as to the part the con stftutiona1ists may play in the nego- tiat1ons looking to the composition or differences between Huerta and the United States and similar questions. The most persistent relate to the fu- ture of Huerta and whether his resig- nation has been demanded
 AS matter of fact, not one of the vital issues has been reached but, af- ter separate sessions last night with delegates from sn1exico and the Onised States. the mediators said they pe- neved that they were almost ready to progress in the negotiations.
 The situation as it is so far, was explained by the spokesnan for the medfat0rs and the delegates In order to clear away the rnisunder andinss. It is this:
 notwithstanding introductions in washington, the South American dfploraatists, the representatives of the United States and of Huerta are individual strangers and ti1ne was necessarily consumed m reaching g eH understanding of each others person aI fdfosyncrasfes
 ssWhen President Wilson and Gen. eral Huerta accepted the good offices of the South American envoys to set lie their differences. the latter felt certain that the Niagara Falls confer snces would be pregnant of very great possibilities and reach far be- vond peace in Mexico and touch the r,eace of the whole western hemis- phere They now feel the delicacy of their positions and are doing their ut most to avoid any false steps that r,afxht endanger the success of their endeavors-
 -sOut of this conference Is to come, if is hoped by those upon whom the responsibility has fallen some clari- fwinx of the view of all Latin Arneri- cans respecting the attitude of the United States and the relation of this country for a long time to come with the republics Of Central and South America Perhaps. also. they think there may come an interpre tation or the Monroe doctrine that will more fully meet the approval of all the republics ofttl1is hemisphere.

Martin T. Manton, chief of the Beck CT lawyers announced that his appeal would be based on the admission of
