Date of His Death.

salary he would have been entitled to
on transfer a clerk in the office of the
second assistant postmaster general from
the office of the fourth assistant postmas-
ter general. will be made to the estate of
John l.. Miller. who died without as
suming his new duties. The compensa
tion will be for the period from July
15. when the transfer was ordered, TO

This is the ruling of the controller of
the Treasury. George E. Downey, who
holds that although Mr.. Miller did not
take the oath of office. that fact did
not change his status as clerk in the
Office to which he had been transferred.
Oath OF office, Controller Downey de-
cided. is an essential before perform
ance of any duties of a civil position
but failure to swear in does not oper-
ate of itself to defeat title to pay.

Road Will Complete Dissolution
Within a Year to Avoid
Trial of Suit.
Il. C. C. WILL PASS ON
THE SOUND STEAMERS
Complete Victory for the Govern
ment Will Be Entered as Court
Decree in New York.

The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railway has accepted every demand
of the government to avert trial of the
suit under the antitrust laws. and VIII
not only complete the dissolution ac-
cording to the former agreement with
Attorney General McReynolds, but. un-
der his demand, will shorten from
two and a half years to one year the
period allowed for disposing of the
stock of the Boston and Maine railroad.
The Attorney General received word
from New York last night that the d.
rectors of the road had agreed to his
terms for a peaceful dissolution Of the
system. This will put an end to the
court proceedings begun there several
| weeks ago.
Department of Justice officials were
asked some time ago if there was any
possible way to avoid fighting the suit
through the courts, and were told that
the only way was to carry ost the
terms of the agreement for dissolution
! made months ago. Attorney General
McReynolds, however, made his de-
mands regarding the separation of the
Boston and Maine a bit stronger than
formerly
Sell Stock in Year.
In the old agreement the trustees
were to hold the New Haven's Boston
and Maine stock for two years and a
half; under the present understanding
the trustees will hold the stock for only
one year.
They will be given irrevocable prox-
les and exercise every function of ma
jority stockholders and owners OF the
property, and the Attorney General is
expected to keep close watch to see
that they are in no way interfered with
by the New Haven. They are expected
to dispose of the stock II twelve
months, but failure to do 80 upon rea-
sonable grounds probably would lead
to an extension of the time.
The interstate commerce commission,
under the present arrangement. is to
decide whether the New Haven shall
retain It's interest in Its so-called
sound steamship lines. This was the
way the matter was taken care of In
the old agreement, but In the bill filed
in New York the court was asked to
take these lines from the .,ew Haven.
In the governments bill 1t sought to
separ rate the New Haven from the old
New England railway, considered a
vital part of its rail system through
Connecticut and Massachusetts. This
was not in the original agreement nor
in the present one.
Decree Will Be Recorded.
The whole agreement will be en-
bodied in a decree. which will be ac-
cepted by both the government and
the proper railroad officials and sub
mitted to the United States district
court at New York for approval and
record.
The criminal prosecution of New Ha-
ven directors will not be affected, de-
partment officials say, by this new
understanding The federal grand jury
in New York probably will get the
cases early in September.
