NEW HAvEN|' RAvACfD
 BY UNW|Sf POLITICS
President Of Yale Also bIamcS UR- wise Finance for Roads Condition.

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 5.-Presi- dent Arthur T. Hadley, of Yale Uni versity, spoke on the railroad situa,- tion, with special reference to the New York, New Haven and Hartford road, before the Twentieth Century Limited club, of this city, last night. He said in substance:
 The present condition of the New Haven road was brought about by a com bination of some unwise finance with a great deal of unwise operation and unwise politics.
 Little Financial Irregularity
 At the end of 1913 the New Haven road had outstanding about $75,000,- 900 of stock and sS,00o,00O of fixed annual charges ahead of the stock. Ten years later it's outstanding stock had increased to $15O,000,O0O and it's annual charges to $21,O0,OOO. Dur ing the decade the management had issued securities and obligations to the value of $36O,OO0,oO0. One quar- ter of this sum represented mere re- funding operations; one quarter was for improvem ents in the road itself ;; one quarter for the purchase of con- meeting railroads and steamship lines and one quarter for trolley properties Most of the purchases were made as early as 1907. The prices paid were high, but there was very little finan- cial irregularity and except in the Rhode Island and Berkshire trolley developments, little that could be called recklessness. The purchase of the New York, Weschester and Bos- ton, which has been more severely criticized than any other, was iusti- fled by the necessity of controlling an important entrance to New York city.

MAY ABANDON NAVAL . PARADE AT PANAMA
Great Earth Slides in Canal Might Possibly Interfere With Passage
 of Dreadnoughts.

Washington, Jan. 5.---The possibil ity of a postponement of the cruise of the international fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco through the Panama canal in connection with the opening of the canal and the Panama Pacific exposition, was suggested yes- terday in the course of a conference between Secretary Garrison and Colonel Goethals, governor of the canal.
 Though the great earth slides at Cucuracha apparently have been con- quered, according to Colonel Goeth- als' report, the earth movements con- tinue in the neighborhood of Gold Hill. At that point the superincum- bent masses of earth on the side of are forcing rock and soil in great quantities into the canal prism. The movement is sufficiently extensive to require the continuous employment of dredges to maintain the channel.
 While this can be done to meet the needs of the present number and size of vessels that are applying for pas sage, Colonel Goethals reported that he could not guarantee that there would be a channel broad enough and deep enough for the great dread- thoughts which will make up the nav al parade, by the date they are eX- pected to arrive at Cristobal next spring.
 As the program of the fleet from the time it gathers at Hampton Roads to it's arrival at San Francisco is prescribed by law, the officials are now considering whether it will be necessary to secure special legislation in case it is decided to abandon or postpone the cruise because of the conditions in the canal

 Troops Rout Santfbanez

''The first chief as soon as he was aware of the plight of General Can ranza, ordered troops to the isthmus. Yesterday they routed Santibanez's s column near San Geronimo and the traitor with 15O men fled to the town of Chihuitan, in the mountains of Oaxaca.
 The first telegrams received by the chief from the isthmus purported to have been sent by his brother and were to the effect that no more troops should be ordered south. These were in reality sent by Santibanez, and it was only through a telegram received from c. R. Cabrera that the true situation was first ascertained." '"

AGAINST MILITARY TRAINING.

Meriden, Jan. 5.-The Meriden Central Labor union last night unani-, mously adopted resolution calling upon all working men to unite in a protest against any effort which might be made by the town school committee to provide for instruction In the use of firearms for high school students. Another resolution de- manded of the school committee that it rescind the action taken last week concerning instruction in firearms and practice in the use of the same to be held in the state armory.

well. The securities paid dividends, the companys credit and prospects continued good. Then adverse politi- cal conditions came into play. The 1nterstate commerce act of 1910 pre- vented the railroads from raising their rates at time when everybody else was raising theirs In 1913 the New Haven road paid $e,o00,0o0 more for wages and fuel than would ave been the case at the prices which pre- vailed ten years earlier and received no more for its services. This trouble was felt by railroads through out the country, but it bore peculiarly hard on the New Haven because this road derived so large part of its revenue from passengers. Methods of handling freight had become more economical as the volume of traffic increased Methods of handling passengers be- came more expensive under the same conditions. The authorities of New York state compelled the New Haven road to do its communication passenger business at rates which meant a di- rect loss of nearly $1,000,0o0 a year The United States government penal ized the road an equal amount for the carriage of the malls amount for the car-taken together, would have involved a serious reduction of the New Haven dividend even if there had been no outside purchases of any kind
 Unwise Measures Adopted.
 ITO meet this deficiency in cur rent income unwise measures were adopted. Instead of cutting off un- profitable services and paying strict attention to discipline, the manage ment economized on maintenance. The effect of this false economy was seen in an appalling series of rall- road accidents. A change in the headship of the company in 1913 stopped the accidents immediately and gradually introduced much-need- ed reforms in the operation of the railroad. But m meantime two new ele- ments had entered into the situation "a commercial depression which greatly reduced the railroad traffic of New England and a desire on the part of the government to dissolve the system by a prosecution under the Sherman act What would have been the outcome of such a prosecu- tion if the case had come to trial, no one can tell.

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO
 CITY ARE DEPL0RABLE
Mail Report From British Legation
 Sent to Ambassador Rec.

Washington, Jan. Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, transmitted to the state department yesterday a copy of a mail report from Charge Hohler of the British legation in Mexico City, saying conditions there week ago were deplorable.
 High commendation was given Ed uardo Iturbide, former governor of the federal district, for his efforts in saving the lives of Britons and Amer tered the city. Since then Iturbide has succeeded in getting out of the hands of the Mexican officials who threatened to execute him and, ac- cording to official reports received today, he is now in the United States. Since Charge Hohler:s report was sent, conditions have improved, ac- cording to state department advlces. The Mexican convention reassembled yesterday and discussed credentials of delegates.
 Adjustment Anticipated.
 Neither the war nor state depart ments had any further advices as to the situation at Naco, but the belief prevailed that an adjustment of the difficulties there would be reached on the arrival of General Juan Cabral with 5000 Gutierrez troops.
 Elisco Arrendondo, head of the Carranza agency here, issued a state ment last night summarizing dis patches from Vera Cruz, confirming reports of the capture of General Jesus Carranza brother of the first chief, by General Alfonso Santibanez in San Geronimo, state of Oaxaca, on December 30. The general, his son and nephew, are being held as hostages, but his entire staff has been executed by Santibanez. The state ment said:
 Entered Revolutionary Army.
 General Santibanez entered the ranks of the constitutionalist revo- lutionary army at the close of the Huerta regime. He succeeded in gaining the confidence of General Jesus Carranza, who supplied him with troops and munitions of war and finally succeeded in having him named military commander of the Isthmus of Tehauntepec.
 General Carranza was totally un- aware of the defection of Santibanez when he approached San Geronimo, and was so certain of his loyalty that he was travelling with but the lightest of escorts.
 Makes Serious Threats.
 'The first chief has received word from Santibanez that if he will sane tion some unknown arrangements claimed to have been made between Santibanez and General Jesus Car ranza, and will pardon his treachery and allow him to retain his military office, he will release General Car ranza and his two relatives. He makes the threat that unless his conditions are met, he will execute General Jesus Carranza and his son and nephew.
 "Carranza's reply, feelingly dictated. was: Such traitorous conduct can receive no pardon. If my brothers death is a necessary step toward the triumph of our principles and the es- tablishment of peace, I am willing that he die. And I know that with the feelings of true soldier my
