Victoriano Huerta, the Mexican dicta-

was a cadet at West Point during the

ent proceeding and In paying his ex-
penses to and from Washington.
Oakleigh Thorn. of New York the prin-
cipal witness, testified as to work he
had done for President Mellen in the ac-
QUESTION Of the West Chester and Port
Chester electric roads. His testimony
showed that his contract was with the
New Haven Railroad and that he could
not account for the sum of 81. .0s2. 900. Mr..
Thorn's explanation was that he could
not account for this sum because he
had burned books containing the infor-
nation.
Mr.. Thorn said that while his contract
was with the New Haven Railroad he
received all money through the firm OF
J. p. Morgan & Co. He made no ac-
counting to any one, he said, and kept
no vouchers. He admitted, when pressed
by Mr.. Folk. that politicians in Tam
many Hall had sold blocks Of the securi-
ties of the West Chester and the Port
Chester properties. He admitted also
that at the time he made his disburse-
ments Of something like over 5000. 900,
the West Chester property had only ex-
pended on Il something like $1.0oo,oO0, and
that the Port Chester road only amount
ed TO a right Of way.
Mr. Thorn admitted that at the time
he began his negotiations the parties be-
hind the West Chester route and the
parties behind the Port Chester route
were rivals and that both had consider
able influence with the powers that had
the granting of franchises. 1t developed
during Mr.. Thorn's testimony that Tim
Sullivan, Of Tammany Hall, sold him
West Chester stock.
l.. S. Miller. president of the West
Chester road, testified and identified a
letter that he had written to President
MeIlen. In this letter Mr.. Miller estimated
that Mr.. Thorn had forgotten TO account
for something ever S1.70o,0O0
Another witness called by Mr.. Folk
was Cornelius S. Sweetland, Of Provi-
dence. r. l., president Of the Providence
Banking Company, and other Providence
corporations. Mr.. Sweetland said that
inadvertently books belonging to the
Rhode Island Securities Company, the
subsidiary through which the New Haven
acquired Rhode Island trolley lines, had
been burned
Mr.. Thorn will continue his testimony
today, and other witnesses will testify
in connection with the Billiard Company's s
affairs.

5000 STEEL EMPLOYEES
LOSE JOBS THIS WEEK
Corporation Decides to Close Down
Big Plant Because of Scarcity
of New Business.

New York, April 2s.-Because of the
scarcity OF new business the United
States Steel Corporation will lay OF
about 5000 men this week and close down
the Benwood plant of the National Tube
Works. Three blast furnaces also will
be blown out.
Orders received by the corporation
have fallen OF somewhat in the last few
days and are now running at about 20.000
tons daily. Shipments also have been
reduced aud indications are that the un-
filled tonnage at the end of this month
will show a decrease of about $4,000 tons
compared with March 81.
The steel industry is more depressed
than at any time this year. April earn
ings have been lower than the average of
the first quarter and the trusts profits
of IS to 81 a ton mean a dismal showing
for other companies. whose profits are
usually several dollars ton lower, says
the Iron Age.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels to make
an effort to ascertain their whereabouts.
Admiral Badger yesterday was wired to
find out where they are located and to
report Immediately
For several days no word has been re-

believed in navy circles that these ships
may have eluded the watchfulness of the
American feet and may become danger,

WITNESSES BARE
new HAVEN LOOT
Testimony Reveals Their Big
Deals IN Which Tammany
Figured.
PAPERS ARE ALL BURNED
Folk Believes Stockholders Can Start
Proceedings for Restitution of
Millions of Dollars.

The interstate Commerce Commission
started on its dragnet investigation OF
the financial transactions Of the New
Haven Railroad system, and at the ex-
piration Of yesterdays session Solicitor
Joseph w. Folk, who has charge Of the
examination Of the witnesses and Is d.
recting the investigation. had brought to
light a considerable amount of informa-
tion relative to the things that brought
this system to its present condition.
viii summon Old Directors.
Solicitor Folk expressed the opinion
that as a result Of yesterdays testimony
and additional information that will be
unearthed before the investigation is
finished, the stockholders or the present
management of the railroad will be in
a position to institute legal proceedings
for restitution of millions of dollars, out
OF which he alleges il has been looted.
Solicitor Folk states he now will sum-
mon all of the old directors of the New
Haven and former President Charles
Mellen. the new directors, and Howard
Elliott, President MeIlen's successor. and
numerous other witnesses. i. -. :
Proceedings yesterday covered, in part
three transactions OF the New Haver
Railroad, in all of which, it is asserted
that the New Haven was looted out oi
millions Of dollars. In two of the in
stances the testimony yesterday showed
that books and other papers had beer
burned which contained names of stock
holders and which would have cleared
up many interesting points. In third
instance il appeared that ONE man, an
attorney, had possession of all the books
and rpr0rdQ and 81 far the commits
sion knows, still has them.
The proceedings were opened by So
licitor Folk calling to the stand H. v
Whipple, president of the Merchants
National Bank, of New Haven, and Ed.
ward E. Field, credit man of a mercan-
tile establishment in New Haven. Until
March last Whipple was treasurer Of
the Billiard Company. and Field was
president. The commission alleges thai
the Billiard Company was presented with
something between S2Oo0.OO0 and 5000, 0ot
of money belonging to the New Haven.
Both Dummy Officers.
whipple and Field both admitted they
were dummy officers and knew nothing
of the affairs of the Billiard Company
Both declared that in October last, al
the solicitation of Samuel c. Morehouse
an attorney, of New Haven. they had
become officers of the Billiard Company.
Mr.. Whipple said that Morehouse gave
him $4,000 to purchase ten shares OF
stock of the Billiard Company. 1t ap.
peared that at the same time Morehouse
also gave Whipple $4,000 to purchase five
shares of stock for Mr.. Field, and five
shares of stock for a man named Kelly.
A day or two afterward Whipple was
elected treasurer and Field president OF
the company. The stock was purchased
from John L. Billiard. Whipple admit
ted that he sold this stock in March
last, for sll,OOo, and still had the pro-
ceeds with the exception of money which
he had spent as counsel fees in the pres
