Dept OF JUSTICE OFFICIALS
SURPRISED BY new HAVEN STAND
Mceynods to Be Revealed Until Definitely Informed
AS to Intention of Roads
Directors

Washington, July 16.-Department of
justice officials were plainly surprised
tonight to learn that the New Haven
board of directors might reopen nego-
tiations for a peaceful dissolution of
that system. 1t has been understood
here for several days that Attorney
General McReynolds recently made
mis- position clear to the New Haven
management and announced that a
failure to accept the terms on the Bos-
ton G. Maine stock sale imposed by
Massachusetts would drive the depart
ment to the filing of an antitrust suit.
No official notice of the action of the
board had been received up to a late
hour tonight and pending such notice
the departments plans were not re-
Vealed. 1t is well known that the bill
against the New Haven under the
Sherman law is ready for filing at
once and it is not believed possible that
the suit will be long delayed. unless
there are unlooked-for developments.
There were reports in Washington
tonight that President Wilson might
be asked to bring about compromise
and continuation of the negotiations
between the road and the department
of justice. The President, however, re-
Gently told callers that he believed the
New Haven should accept the Massa-
chusetts legislation which its directors
disapproved today and 1t was not be-
lieved probable that he would change
his attitude.
The President was told that in pass
ing legislation which provides that

men from the results of war. been
consulted before hostilites began.
Second: 1t is urged by some that
woman's life is already full of care
and that the addition of suffrage would
either burden her or turn her at
tention away from the duties of the
home. The answer made to this is
that the exercise of franchise might
result in a change of thought and &C.
cupation that would relieve the monot-
ony of womans work and give rest
full variety to her activities.
Third: Many we'll meaning men and
women affirm that suffrage would
work a harm to women by lessening
the respect in which she is held. The
same objection was offered each time
the doris has opened and woman. in
stead of suffering degration, has risen.
Are not the second and third OBJ
jections above stated refuted to some
extent at least by the fact that in the
states that have adopted woman suf-
frage there is no agitation for re-
turn to the system under which man
has monopoly of the right to vote?
THE creator has placed upon the
mother a burden which she could not
shift is she so desired, and He has
given her the disposition to bear it.
Because the wealth of her existence is
bestowed upon them, they are a part
OF her very being. I am not willing
to stay the mothers hand if she thinks
that by the use of suffrage she can
safeguard the welfare of those who
are dearer To her than her own life.
Politics will not suffer by womans
entrance into 1t. 1t the polite world
mas grown more pure in spite of evil
influences that have operated to de-
base it, it will not be polluted by the
presence and participation of woman.
Neither should we doubt that woman
can be trusted with the ballot. She has
proven herself to every responsibility
imposed upon her. she Will not fail So
ciety in this emergency. Let her votei"

DENIES PROFITED
PERSONALLY BY
FUND RAISED
BY LUMBERMEN
j. K. Flemming Testifies
At Hearing Before
Royal Comm

st. John, N. B., July 16.-Provisional
Premier ]. X. Flemming denied today
at the hearing before a royal commits
sioner on charges of political graft
that he had profited personally from
the fund which it Us alleged certain
government leaders raised from ium-
Der operators on the crown lands, He
swore that the first knowledge he had
of the fund, described by the prosecu-
ton as the extortion fund, was an an
nouncement to him by w. H. Berry,
the chief government scaler, that the
lumbermen of the province were to
make up a campaign fund for the
benefit of the government.
So far as he knew, Mr.. Flemming
said, it was voluntary contribution.
1t was a surprise to him, he stated,
that Berry had any part in the col
lection of the fund as alleged. He had
told Berry, he said, that no officials
could touch 1t and so had appointed
E. r. Teed to handle it. Mr.. Flemming
will be cross examined later.

EXPECTING HUERTA

The orders of the battleships Ores

IGN more definite than this is known
1t is understood generally, however,
that most of the party, probably the
women, will be cared for on the Bris-
tel, while Generals Huerta and Blan-
quet, and perhaps other men will be
taken aboard the German cruiser.
Realizing that battleships are poor
things at best when it comes to TAX
ing care of passengers, those who
boarded the Bristol this morning, We're
back in the cars this afternoon and
are stopping there tonight.
Sonora Huerta had lost her buoyancy
Of the morning and spent the greater
part of the afternoon in her section talk
Ing very soberly to her sons, Jorge and
Victor. She continued to refuse to see
anybody and members of her party de-
scribed her as showing considerable un-
easiness regarding her husband. Reports
from the train on which Huerta is trav-
cling were shown to her from time to
time, but even the fact that the train
was moving steadily forward was not
sulHclent TO reaSSure her. Her mood ex-
tended to the other members of her i'm
mediate family.
Gen. Blanquet's family also were Wis
IDLY worried, hut a large number of those
who arrived today appeared happy and
contented. The refugees number about
70. and of these there are not more than
half dozen who are not connected with
the families of either Huerta or Blan-
quet
The children, who are most numerous,
are eager for the arrival of Huerta not
because that would mean he was out of
danger. but because long ago he taught
them that one of his hobbies is children
Huerta seldom passed a child in the
streets of his capital, If he were close
enough, without at least pattng it on
the head.

one who uses an excess of answers.
The first and second winners In a
contest similar to this used over GOO

err of Today

Newport. r. l., July 16.-Fog caused
another postponement of a race of the
American cup yachts Resolute, Van
lite and Defiance today just after the
boats had reached the starting line. A
great bank of mist shut in so thick
from the sea that the sailing masters
could not see a cables length away
and as there seemed little likelihood
of the fog lifting, the three sloops
were towed back to Brenton's Cove
and the regatta committee of the New
port Yacht Racing Association, called
the contest off.
Weather permitting, the yachts will
race tomorrow.
The Defiance this afternoon spent
several hours in a sail-stretching run
off the torpedo station. Cup class rae
ing will be called off after Saturday
until the New York Yacht Club cruise.

make known its conclusion to the board
at a future meeting.
Resignation Rumors
The persistent rumors of anticipated
designations from the board were not
substantiated. John l.. Billiard one of
the directors, who was the subject of
much criticism in the Interstate Com
merce Commissions report, did not ap-
pear at the meeting, and so far as could
be learned no action regarding his sta
tus as director was taken.
1t is considered significant that a spe-
cial committee of three directors, APP
pointed few weeks ago to inquire into
the relations of the Billiard Co. with the
New Haven Co. reported to the directors
that under advice of counsel they were
taking steps to recover such sums as
may be due to the New Haven road.

Massachusetts shall always have the
right to buy the Boston & Maine stock
no new condition was imposed upon
the New Haven. The charter of the
Boston Railroad Holding Co., which
owns the Boston & Maine stock and
which in turn is controlled by the New
Haven, has this provision in it also.
At no time during the negotiations
with the department of justice, accord
ing to officials. was there any question
raised about this right of Massachu-
sets.
The agreement between the two parties
provides that Massachusetts should enact
legislation to annul another portion of
the holding company's charter, which
forbade the sale of tho Boston & Maine
stock without state approval This, de-
partment officials declared, has been done
and the New Haven has no Just ground
for complaint
Attorney General McReynolds declined
to comment tonight on the action of the
directors, but 1t was said in official cir
Giles that formal statement outlining
the departments position throughout the
negotiations probably would be issued
soon.
Unless some action by the New Haven
management causes a change in present
plans, 1t is expected that the civil suit
will be started within few days and
that soon afterward the attitude of the
department toward criminal prosecution
of officers and directors of the New Ha-
ven under the Mellen management will
be made known
