BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, July s. Suit for dis
solution Of the New Haven Railroad
system will be filed Just as soon as the
papers can be prepared, the Department
Of Justice announced today.
With the New Haven declaring its
unwillingness TO abide by the resolution
Of the Massachusetts legislature pro
yding for the sale OF the Boston and
Maine stock, no alternative but to file
suit IS left for the Department Of jus
lice, il was stated.
The Department Of Justice has been
waiting for the outcome Of the New

sary to the carrying out OF the agree
ment between the Department OF Jus
tice and the New Haven directors for
the Boston and MaineNew Haven di-
vorce was discussed this afternoon at
conference between President Wilson
and Governor Walsh Of Massachusetts.
Governor Walsh called on the President
primarily for the purpose Of seeing
whether something could not be done
face of the refusal OF the House com
mittee on appropriations to approve the
Presidents request for a federal dona
ton Of S200000. The governor will take
the matter up with members of the
committee and with the Massachusetts
delegation fer the purpose Of either get
ting reconsideration Of the action
taken by the committee or appealing 20
the House as whole The governor is
understood to have explained to the
President that the legislation authoriz
ing the sale OF the New Haven, Boston
and Maine holdings has passed one
branch of the legislature, but is held
up in the other by the refusal of the
New Haven directors to accept an
amendment now in the bill permitting
tho State TO buy the stock Pending a
settlement of the dispute which has
arisen, the Department of Justice
had extended the time limit within
which the Boston e Maine must be
got rid Of by July IS,
The Attorney General as a prelim-
mary measure will institute the civil
suit for a dissolution of the New

Attorney General McReynolds has
held off in the hope that the rcorganiza
tion of the New Haven might be effect
led without government interference.
The dissolution suit will be filed in

Southern District "a New York. The
bill Of complaint, prepared by the De-
partment of Justice last October. but
held mp when Chairman Elliott Of the
New Haven promised %. comply with the
government plan for reorganization win
be filed.
The controversy between the gov
ernment and the New Haven is
brought TO a head BY the refusal of
the New Haven to dispose Of its Bos-
ton and Maine stock at the price and
under the conditions fixed bv the
Massachusetts legislature. The New
Haven directors contended that condi-
tions would weaken the market value
of the Boston and Maine stock.

Renew our vows to God
And pledge each other here today

These darkened lands to cheer.
To preach to all that God is Love,

And serve till time shall end

Shall lay all burdens down,
