BURNS CLUB BEATEN.
Caledonians of New Haven Defeat the
 Local Carpet Bowlers.

Once more the Caledonian club car pet bowlers demonstrated their su- periority over the Burns club rollers last evening, when they handed the home boys a beating in the O. U. A. M hall. The score was 39 to 26.
 The visitors have acquired the rep utation of being one of the best teams in the country, and their exhibition last evening was of a high order. At the close of the games a banquet was served. The results were as follows:
 Rink No. 1, Burns club, Andrew Brown, skip, II; Caledonians, D. Fer guson, skip, II.
 Rink No. 2, Burns club, John Sloan, skip, 5; Caledonian club, John Men ges, skip, IT.

 Not to Be Caught Mapping.

''This matter is very important, and it would be well to watch gen. eral legislation we'll as special mat tcrs asked for by them, as 1 mistruSt that they will attempt in some sly way to accomplish their fiendish designs, and we do not wish to be caught mapping"
 Two years later MT. Hall wrote an other letter which was put in evil dence showing his faith in the legis- lature as an adjunct to practical rail- road operation. He wrote to William D. Bishop in regard to a drawbridge benefit desired for the company, say ing:
 Seeley Against Road.
 I have heard from several quar- ters that MT. Seeley is against us in this proposition as we'll as everything else. I've been told that his sympathles are with the Connecticut Western in this matter. Of course, l may be mistaken. Before his election he told me we need have no fear of him in any of our matters and we should find that he would not do anything against the interests of the New Ha- ven. If I had supposed he would another party could have had the nomination easily and he would not

have been in the position he is new" Another complaining letter speaks of the Fair Haven & Westville as 'the grossest case of parelleling our road," and saying that a stand must be made in the legislature as to whether it twill allow this outrage on our vested rights The letter ad- dressed to Henry c. Robinson sug- gests a strong speech before the committee considering the matter.
 Morgan's Name Mentioned. r. J. Pierpont Morgans name was again brought in by letters from Charles P. Clark when he was the New Haven president in 1894, regard ing a proposed competing line of the Ridgefield & New York railroad. which were read. Clark suggested to Morgan that he could get control of the line for $25,O00 loan. A later letter indicates that he had per- suaded MT. Morgan to help what prov ed to be something of a tartar, for he wrote:
 .'1 find that Higgins, the promoter of the Ridgefield- New York line, pro- poses to build an electric line in com- petition with us. As I understand you made the loan for the purpose of serving the New Haven company, you can best serve our interests by calling the loan"
 Goodrich on Stand.
 The testimony from documents of the past, written mostly by men now dead, was varied yesterday by testi- mony from a living witness. He was Charles c. Goodrich, of Hartford, manager of the Hartford and New York Transportation company, & steamboat line originally in sharp competition with the New Haven. That was back in the sos.
 MT. Goodrich testified that an agreement was made with the New Haven to make rates in harmony and to divide the traffic. One clause agreed that if the income was in excess of the amount of the year be- fore the agreement, the winter sea- son was to be cut down. He said that before this agreement his company was going out after new business, but curtailed these efforts after the agreement.
 Lived up to Agreement.
 The agreement was abrogated, he ooiu, "uSu IiO llISFStdCe commerce laws prohibited arrangements em- bodied in 1t, but he said that his line and the New Haven nevertheless con- tinued to live up to it practically in it's entirety. In 1905 man named Dunbar began to negotiate for the purchase of the steamboat line, ne said, ostensibly representing only himself but the New Haven proved to be the purchaser at the price Dun- bar fixed. He at first had supposed Dunbar was representing Charles W. Morse, "who was buying up all coastwise companies at that period"
 During the session of court yester- day Henry w. Taft, brother of ex- President Taft, called on Judge Hunt and short recess was taken. It. was supposed his visit had to do with the expected calling of Mir. Taft as witness.
 An adjournment of the case was taken until Wednesday. The court gave hint to the government attor- neys to get their mass of documen- tary evidence in such shape during the interval that it could be put in more succinctly and expeditiously.

BROKE STEAMBOATS
 TO END COMPETITION
Government Presents Evidence to That Effect at New Haven Trial

New York, Oct. 3O.-Following tes- | timony as to the methods of the New
 Haven in absorbing rival railroads
 and smothering competition from To-
 cal electrical lines, the government
 attorneys in the trial of former New
 Haven directors began yesterday to l introduce matter showing how, as
 they contend, the monopoly of all l New England transportation facilities
 was completed by the acquisition of competing steamboat lines and the destruction of some of their boats.
 Charles s. Mellen, former presi- dent of the New Haven, was excused temporarily as the governments wit ness.
 Began in 1900.
 From the railroad archives Frank M. SWacker, of government counsel, continued to read into the record fur ther letters from John H. Hall. The steamboat buying activities began in 1900, when Mr. Hall had been elevat- ed to the office of president of the New Haven. Minutes of the standing committee of the board of directors were read showing the authorization of the purchase of the New Haven Steamboat company for the purpose of it's physical destruction.
 Further minutes were read showing that after it had been bought, the Narragansett Day line, of the com pany, had been discontinued and resolution passed providing for the sale or breaking up of it's steamboats, the Providence, the Narragansett and tcJ +L.o should not be used further for steam boat purposes
 Destruction of Boats Ordered.
 A later letter from MT. Hall to the pier superintendent was read, con- taining orders to him to carry put 1 this work of destroying the three { boats.
 During these years, according to l the prosecution, the efforts to crush | electric traction competition contin- ued A letter dated February 15, lS99, from MT. Hall to Edward D, Robbins, of counsel for the New Ha- ven, one of the present defendants read:
 'I notice by the papers that the Falr Haven & Westville railroad com oany have one or two or more bills H. SopiCo Ol WIllClI nave not been | Narded me. I know, incidentally, that hey are trying to extend to Walling- ] ord and Cheshire. both of which propositions We desire to fight. But

DR.. Green's Lecture
In Salem Last Night

Commercial rivalry, race hatred and
jealousy were the direct causes Of the
present war in Europe, according to
the opinion of DR.. Thomas E. Green,
who spoke last evening at the opera
house, taking for his subject, "The
Forces That Failed. "
For 25 years the nations of Europe
had been preparing for what they all
regarded as the inevitable, and it need
ed but spark to produce the explosion,
said DR.. Green. This spark was the as
sassination of the crown prince of Aus
tria and his wife. The fact that all
Europe was prepared, was the reason
that DR.. Green deemed another cause
of the war that even the great diplo-
mats of Europe could not prevent. From
an individual standpoint, the speaker
said that the worlds peace was broken
by the Emperor of Austria, the Car of
Russia and the Emperor of Germany.
DR.. Green is forceful speaker, al
ways polished, and even dramatic at
times, and his appearances here have
always been greeted with audiences
who have been deeply interested in the
subjects discussed, and the opinions eX'
pressed by the speaker.
