GRE VI RICH WHILE
NEW HAVEN LOST
Charged That More Than $780,
100000 Went to FinanCierS
by Sen. Norris, Who Wants
Complete Probe.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.--Sen. Nor
ris of Nebraska Tuesday introduced
resolution directing the interstate
commerce commission TO make
complete investigation Of the New
York. New Haven & Hartford rail
road system.
In an interview subsequent TO the
presentation OF the resolution. Sen.
Norris made these charges based on
information which he said he be-
Iieved could be substantiated by the
interstate commerce commission:
That more than S3O,0OO.O00 of the
money of the stockholders of the
New Haven system have been diverted
from its proper channels into the
pockets OF the fnanciers who have
had control of the fiscal affairs of the
road.
That J. p. Morgan & Co. Marsden
J. Perry Charles S. Mellen. Oakleigh
ThOrne and other Wall st. operators
financed the New York. Westminster
x Boston railroad heavily capitalized
it and unloaded il on the New Haven
system during the 1907 panic.
Millions Disappear.
Interstate Commerce Commissioners
PrOuty, who conducted the earlier
inquiry on the part OF the commission
reported that he was forced TO the
conclusion that between 100000
and $4,000 600 of the money of the
New Haven. invested i'm this West
chester railroad enterprise had mys-
teriouSly disappeared Of which every
trace apparently had been lost
That the securities or this corpora
ton were jus led by the Morgan peO-
pie and. when heavy losses confront
ed those who had financed the enter
prise because of the panic, the whole
loss was showed on TO the New Haven
and shouldered by the stockholders OF
that system. More money was spent
in commissions than for real estate
and construction work.
This" continued Sen. Norris. was

MIR. Norris asked that his resolution
go over until Wednesday when Sen.
Weeks OF Massachusetts is expected 20
he in the chamber. Last week Chair
man Elliott Of the New Haven visited
Mr. Norris In the capitol and urged
him to withhold his resolution until
the officials of the road and the de-
partment OF justice has reached an

engineering laboratories. But if either in
sttution proves after experiment to have
lost in any way to the other. an equitable
readjustment can doubtless be worked
out.
Some difficulties may arise out Of the
specific stipulations Of the Mckay will.
The negotiation of 1904 failed, partly Gas
stated above because the trustees of the
endowment were obliged 10 give it as
their opinion that such an agreement as
was then proposed could not be operated
under the terms of that instrument But
as the present agreement preserves TO
each institution its individual rights of
property more completely than did the
other, fear on this head may be some
what allayed. While il is true that the
Mckay trustees have not been consulted,
that does not indicate that they are pre-
pairing 10 obstruct the plan. But as 1t

America. since manufacturers in the
United States began to go after 1t sys-

It should not be understood that THIS

Europeans But British commercial colo

IMPOSSIBLE CLAIMS.

The late George A. Hearn. the million

New York. was noted for his kind and
reasonable treatment OF his employees.
Mr. Hearn used TO smile at the new scien-
tific management craze. of which he once
said at a dinner:
These scientific management people,
with their impossible claims of dSaohng
and trebling a mans labor, remind me OF
the humble hodcarriers impossible prom

fluencc of Europe in Latin-Americar
countries
Uruguay az a buffer state between Ar
gentina and Brazil has more fears of the
imperialistic tendencies of her neighbors
than Of Yankee imperialism. 1t is to the
United States that Uruguay has looked
for support in past years when she
thought her neighbors were inclined to
crowd her.
Brazil has large element in her popu-
lation which is anti-American and really
believes that there is such a thing as
Yankee imperialism but, as / have eX-
planned In a previous letter this is not
the attitude of the government. Brazil
like Argentina, however, is full Of re-
sentiment over the financial Imperialism

HOSTILITY OF GERMAN PAPERS
IN SOUTH AMERICA.

German newspapers published In South
America are almost universally hostile TO
the United States and its policies. and In
number Of them I have seen articles
advocating a British-German alliance 70
combat Yankee commercial Imperialism.
Some Of the English newspapers are
equally narrow, but others show broader
spirit. and much of their criticism of
American business men who talk OF In
vading the South American markets is
just.
Manufacturers and exporters in the
United States are quite capable of taking
care OF this European movement against
them and will do II.
As TO the remedies for the agitation
against Yankee Imperialism few sug-
gestions will suffice Where II Is malig-
nant there is no need OF wasting time 10
combat IT, This malignancy in time Will
correct itself. Much OF II is due to youth.
and it is to be said for the Spanish
American and the e-American
people that youth is not fetish among
them When the time comes for action
the elder statesmen step In. and their
views control
Where the agitation is based on honest
ignorance or misconception the miscon-
ceptions should be treated seriously and
with a view 10 correcting them. II the
Fourth Of July orators in the United
States, in Congress and out. could be sup
pressed when they come to discuss South
America that would be a great help in
preventing the misconceptions OF our ma
tional aims and our national aspirations
Possibly in a thousand years from now
there aili be one flag from the North
pole 10 the South Pole. but there are /
few intervening centuries in which the
South American countries will have To-
work out their own destinies.
4 powerful help in preventing miscon-
ceptions OF the real feeling OF the people
Of the United States toward South Amer
ica would be some knowledge in Wash
ington Of the different countries and the
difference between them. II this knowl-
edge existed Argentina, Brazil. Chill. Peru
and Uruguay would not feel that they are
COMPOUNDED with some OF the countries
Of the Caribbean and Of Central America,
nor would they resent so savagely the
benevolent policy OF keeping the weak
Latin-American countries out OF the
clutches Of usurious money lenders. II
Washington could diherentlate between
the countries in which strong hand
stretched forth by the United states Is
necessary in order 10 prevent caus-less
and destructive revolutions. and the coun-
tries which are able TO manage their own
internal affairs for themselves this also
would he OF sreat utility in combating
