Continued from First PageD

and T. W. Gregory. special assistant
in charge of the New Haven case, it
seemed practically certain that nego-
tiation had failed and that the De-
partment of Justice would begin its
Sherman law suit to dissolve the New
Haven system within the next few
days.
The Attorney General and Mr. Greg
ory had before them official notice from
the New Haven board of directors that
1t cannot accept the terms imposed by
Massachusetts, on the sale of its Bos-
ton and Maine railroad stock. Depart
ment officials are said to now consider
the Sherman law suit their only course.
Two things might prevent such suit.
President Wilson will be consulted by
the Attorney General before the suit is
filed, and if the President finds any
way in which negotiations may be re-
sumed and the Boston and Maine mat
ter disposed of to the satisfaction of
the department, it may prevent suit.
The only other avenue for peace
full settlement. it was pointed out to-
day. lies with the New Haven directors.
The department has not shut the door
to further negotiations. but 1t can be
said with authority that it does not
plan to make any move toward re-
sumption of them Mr.. McReynolds
is said to feel that the New Haven
must make the next move.
Randolph Coolidge, president of the
Boston Chamber of Commerce. talked
over the situation in New England to-
day and the effect a New Haven suit
might have there. with Mr.. McReynolds.
Mr. Coolidge did not come as a pleader
for the New Haven. but merely to point
out how action might affect that section.
Aside from the official notice of it's un-
willingness to dispose of the Boston and
Maine stock under the Massachusetts
plan, Mr.. McReynolds has received no
communication from the New Haven or
its officials

SUBSTITUTE FOR NAVY
'PLUCK|NC BOARD LAW
Representative Britten Introduces
Bill Following Yesterdays
Hearing.

A substitute for the navy "plucking
board law was prepared and introduced
in the House today by Representative
Britten of Illinois. who heard Admiral
knight say yesterday that the. recent
plucking of the five captains from the
naval service had added nothing to the
efficiency of the navy. and that these
men were retired because of the law,
which forced them out.
The Britten measure not only seeks to
abolish the plucking board. but offers
substitute promotion law. which will put
naval promotions on a civil service basis
to some extent. If enacted, the old sys-
tenn whereby midshipman who grad
uated No. 1 from Annapolis remains No
l over the other members of his class
through life, would be changed so that
practical accomplishments would have
chance to overcome any inferiority in
book learning at the academy.
Although naval officers have protested
that the Britten idea would make school
boys out of them. inasmuch as a written
examination is required by the new bill
before promotions can be made the
measure will find considerable number
of friends in the House If favorable
report on 1t can be obtained from the
naval affairs committee. Representative
Britten said today:
Offers Reasonable Promotion.
''rhe principal obstacle to reasonable
promotion in the present law is the sec
ton which provides that the naval acad-
emy final markings shall carry the boy
graduate entirely through the service in
the very position in which he graduates
whether he improves or stands still
In no other walk of life the world over
either socially, commercially or profess
sionally, does it stand to reason that the
most superior child is always the most
superior man, as provided by the foolish
promotion law.
Under my bill examinations will be
held and final markings are to be based
on the official service record of each Off
Ger. Failure to pass will cause the OFF,
Ger to fall to the next class below, and
second failure will cause the retirement
of the officer. who may be retained in
special service at three-auarter pay, and
in which service he may be advanced to
the rank of commodore"

HUERTA GOVERNED
W|THHAND0F IRON
President of Mexico Year and
a Half, During Which He Was
Virtually Dictator.
TOOK OATH OF OFFICE
ON ARREST OF MADERO
Defied United States by Holding
Place After Demand Was Made
That He Resign.

Victoriano Huerta who. Wednesday
vacated the office. took oath as pro-
visional president of Mexico February 49,
1919, the day after Francisco l. Madero
had been arrested at the National Palace.
Three days later Madero and Jose Maria
Pine Suarez. vice president were shot TO
death on a midnight ride. under guard,
from the palace to the penitentiary- The
manner of their death has never been
satisfactorily explained.
One of Huerta's first acts as provisional
president was to telegraph William H.
Taft, then President of the United States,
the following message:
II have the honor to inform you that
I have overthrown this government. The
forces are with me and from now on
peace and prosperity will reign
The republic was at once plunged into
civil war again. notwithstanding the is
suance by Huerta of a proclamation OF
general amnesty. The Sonora state con-
Sress officially repudiated the provisional
government before Huerta had settled
himself comfortably in the presidential
chair Zapata, revolutionary leader to
the south of the capital. after negotiating
a few days with the new regime, went
back to his guerrilla campaign. Salazar,
one of the highest generals in the army.
denounced Huerta. Carranza, constitu-
tionalist leader in Chihuahua. assailed
him in bitter statement made public at
San Antonio. Francisco Villa announced
himself an adherent of Madero and Joined
,he ranks of the northern army. Pascual
Orozco, of the clan of northern revolu-
tionaries. was the lone notable figure
among the disaffected who declared for
the new government.
President Taft. nearing the end of his
term, left to his successor the problem
of adjusting diplomatic relations with
Mexico. To Woodrow Wilson Huerta sent
felcitations on the day Of the American
Presidents inauguration.

May Appeal to President.

There are reports in Washington that
President Wilson may be asked to bring
about compromise and a continuation
Of the negotiations between the road
and the Department of Justice. The
President. however recently told callers
that he believed the New Haven should
accept the MASSACHUSETTS legislation.
which its directors disapproved yester-
day. 1t is not believed probable that he
will change his attitude
The President was told that in passing
legislation which provides that Massachu-
setts shall always have the right to buy
the Boston and Maine stock no new con-
dition was imposed upon the New Haven
The charter of the Boston Railroad
Holding Company, which owns the Bos-
ton and 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, according to
officials, was there any question raised
about this right of assachusetts The
agreement between the two parties pro-
vtded that Massachusetts should enact
legislation to annul another portion of the
holding companys charter which forbade
the sale Of the Boston and Maine stock
without state approval
This department officials declared has
been done. The New Haven has no lust
ground for complaint.

No Comment on Directors Action.

No comment is vouchsafed by Attorney
General McReynolds on the action of the
directors in rejecting the act enabling
the road to sell its holdings of Boston
and Maine railroad stock. There is how
ever, great surprise over the prospect of
the New Haven directors attempting to
reopen negotiations with the government
for peaceful dissolution of the system.
Unless some action by the New Haven
management causes a change in present
plans, 1t is expected the civil suit will
be started within few days. and that
soon afterward the attitude of the de-
partment toward criminal prosecution of
officers and directors of the New Haven
under the Mellen management will be
made known.

AVOID FUNDAMENTAL ERRORS

Mr.. L. III. Paris is quoted as saying that he
does not know the mistake of the Carnival Com
pany, Ltd, to which this paper refers in it's
comment on the past and future of that Organi,
cation. >'A@SN ~
his paper always aims to please. Its re-
mark was directed at the resolution drawn by
and introduced at the suggestion of the retiring
board Of directors, the resolve providing for a
possible paid official selected from among the
directors of the corporation. This resolution
was amended, but the fact remained that its
presentation showed a failure on the part of the
directors to appreciate the Fundamental prinei-
pIe.of personal service, cooperation and accom-
mediation, on which the Carnival Company is
founded
The only serious crime which. the directors OF
the company have indicated that they might
commit is simply the ld.fashioned folly Of sui
cide-which has been INDUCED in by too many
organizations Of the city. The method of this
particular brand of suicide is that directors,
deep in their splendid work, gain the mistakened
impression that the people at large must accept
what the directors give them and any question
Or suggestion from the body of the people, the
community stockholders, is an expression OF
want Of confidence, or jealousy, selfish inter.
est or pique.
1t must be borne in mind by all workers for
the public good that their effort is lacking in
much Of it's possible value If it fails to carry the
public along good.naturedly at all times. Fur
thermore the reward for such work is the fun
and glory of doing it and not the encomiums of
praise which may be something else tomorrow.
There are men in this town who believe in its
progress and who believe in the workers. These
men intend to help, they have always helped,
and they also intend to say what they believe is
the right thing to say and at the time which they
believe is the right time As this is done good.
naturally and with the most perfect goodwill
towards those who may differ, it is really better
for all concerned to look on the bright side and

lion and advice.
Goodwill and personal service constitute the
only asset of the Carnival Company, Ltd, which
is worth while. -.
