al report on the investigation of the
New Haven railroad lines was today
before the senate committee working g
to frame legislation for the control
of railroad financing, interlocking di-
rectorates and other subjects concern
ed in the investigation.
Administration supporters declared
that many OF the recommendations of
the commission agreed perfectly with
portions of President Wilson's trust
uegislariIa program. Possibility of
any of the criminal acts being in viola
ton of the federal laws is being con-
sidered by the department of justice.
Certified copies of testimony and ex-
hibits OF evidence gathered by COM
missioners and examiners were on the
way today to district attorneys of var
ious jurisdictions in New York, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island, in which
New Haven transactions were carried
on. The testimony and exhibits relate
to such acts as the commission char
acterized as unlawful, but upon which
state officers, If any, must act.
New Haven affairs were brought up
in the senate during prosperity" de-
bate between Gallinger, republican,
and Thomas, democrat Gallinger read

the man was conscious.
An automatic pistol lay on the bed.

State Secretary Will Pass Buck
to Newspapers in Pick
ing First Placers.

Springfield, ILL.,, July 14.-Secretary
of State Harry Woods proposes to
pass the buck as to the first place
scrapping of 1000 primary petitioners
to newspapers of the state which have
been criticising the present legal filing
system.
Its too. much for me-" Secretary
Woods said when he reached his Of
flee after three day campaigning trip
out in the state, during which the pri-
mary petitions were piling up in huge
heaps on the desks of his subordin-
ates.
1.-THE primary law, deliberately for
mulated to perpetuate political ma
chimes, has so many loopholes that it
is hard to decide what 1 should do, "
Secretary Woods said.
81 now require the opinion Of the
newspapers of Illinois, regardless Of
party, to give their opinion as to how
this difficulty can be solved
Secretary Woods indicated that he
doesn't care in the least for the re-
sponsibility of determining who shall
head the primary ballot in any given
congressional or senatorial district.
He is a candidate himself for United
States senator, and the best he can do,
he realizes, is to place one candidate
in the seemingly advantageous first
place ON the ticket in each district. In
all of the heavily democratic senator
ial and congressional districts there
are all the way from six to twenty
primary candidates, and politicians
have no trouble in locating a reason
for the unwillingness of Secretary
Woods in picking one from the field.
1t had been expected that Secretary
Woods would issue a definite state
ment last night which would indicate
the order in which candidates are to
be certified to the official ballot.
The understanding now is that this
official action may be delayed indefi-
nitely and possibly until after the last
day of filing petitions set by the pri-
mary act for July 81.

NAVY PREPARING
TO OCCUPY HAITI
Department Orders Marines As
sembled in Cuba as Warn
ing to Torn Country.

Washington, d. c., July 14.-Seven
hundred marines have been ordered
assembled at Guantanamo, Cuba, to be
held in readiness for service in revo-
lution-torn Haiti and San Domingo.
The navy department acted at the
request of Secretary Bryan. who ask
ed that the fleet be prepared to deal
with any emergency that might arise
on the turbulent little island.
At Guantanamo the force will be only
a days sail from the north coast of
Haiti and San Domingo, and their
proximity is expected to impress upon
the revolutionary forces the determin-
alton of the American government to
terminate their activities by forcible
means unless they listen to the warn
ings already given.
The situation in San Domingo has
come to be regarded as almost hope
less of a cure from within, while in
Haiti conditions are little better.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt announc-
ed the action in the following state
ment:
Numerous appeals from time to
time have been made for the protec-
tion of American life and property on
the island of Haiti, which has been
jeopardized by various bands of rev.
olutionists operating both in Haiti and
San Domingo. Dispatches from there
indicating that these conditions will
probably continue for some time, it has
been decided to place a small force of
marines where they will be available
in case any emergency should arise
which would make it advisable for
them to be on hand for the protection
of life and property
