Reasons Not Known

While no formal statement as to the
reason for their retirement was OBJ
tainable tonight, it was said on behalf
of the New Haven Co. that their action
was undoubtedly due to a desire not
to embarrass the present New Haven
management on account of their sta
tus as alleged violators of the law be-
ing a matter still to be determined by
a Jury. Their action follows that of
the other former directors Of the road
now on trial who have resigned at
various times during the progress OF
the several government actions against
the New Haven road.
Messrs McHarg and Brewster enter
ed the board together May 81, 1907.
They took no part in alleged illegal
acts committed by their fellow de-
PENDANTS prior to that date and by
which the government is seeking to
show that the alleged conspiracy to
monopolize the traffic Of New England
was concerned at the time the Sher-
man law was passed.
Mr.. Brewster lives in New Haven
and Mr. McHarg in New York. They
figure in the case at time when the
New Haven was busy in taking over
steamship lines and trolley proper
ties.

Status of Decision

The question put before them to de-
eide was whether the decision absolv-
ed the directors Of the New Haven
from knowing that they were commit
ting illegal acts prior to that date and
therefore could not have intended the
conspiracy with which they are charg-
ed, that of monopoIizing the traffic
Of New England; or whether, know
ing they had been committing illegal
acts they then continued to commit
them in spite of the decision.
The question came up when the
government proposed to introduce min
utes of the New Haven board dated
May l, 1897, in which it was stated
that the directors had been called to-
gether to consider what policy should
be pursued by this company and what
advice should be given the New York
& New England Railroad Co, in re-
gard to freight matters in view Of the
recent decision of the supreme court
of the United States in the trans
Missouri freight association case.'

Loreburn's Request

Earl Loreburn had asked whether the
dispatch of troops to Saloniki had been
determined upon with the approval of
the naval and military advisors, and
whether the government could give as
surance that full provision had been
made for the communications of this
force and for its supply Of men and
material to the satisfaction of the naval
and military experts. Earl Loreburn
said he understood the governments de-
sire that the matter should not be de-
bated at the present time, but that
there was a reason for asking the ques-
ton.
1--WE are disappointed in the Darda-
nelles enterprise" the Earl Of Loreburn
continued, and he added that he did not
know whether that enterprise had COM
menced with or without the advice Of
the naval and military authorities and
one could not help asking whether this
new venture would be q repetition of
that. The greatest danger from which
this country could suffer. the speaker
said, was unpreparedness and indecision.
Effect Of Discussion
The Marquis Of Lansdowne explained
that there were moments when 1t was
not in the public interest that questions
relating to the war should be freely
discussed in Parliament as the effect
on both the Allies and their enemies
had to be considered. He declared, how
ever, that he could assure Earl Loreburn
that neither in the present government
nor in any government OF which he had
been a member had 1t been the practice
or habit Of amateur strategists to i'm
pose their plans upon the professional
advisers Of the government

was present at every cabinet meeting
and it was impossible to suppose that
he would allow himself to be detected
from his course by the pressure Of his
civilian colleagues. Apart from that,
the speaker added, the procedure by the
committees and the councils had given
a far greater opportunity to the mill
tary and naval experts to assert them
selves and make their views known The
cabinet as q whole considered both naval
and military and political aspects of
the case 30 the ministers and their adj
yisers took account Of both sides Of the
problem. but whatever particular views
were given by the military and naval

Second Confession

Fay, who is one OF the five men
charged with conspiracy to delay or
prevent the sailing of war munitions
ships from this country, gave detail
ed confession to William ]. Flynn,
chief Of the Secret Service. In it, ac-
cording to the federal authorities, he
repeated his former confession made
to the police at Weehawken, n. j., but
stated in addition that his mission,
besides placing bombs on the propel-
lers or rudders of ships was to endeav-
or to bride the commanders Of Rus
sian vessels. He said the plan he was
to endeavor to carry through was to
induce a Russian commander to run
a cargo of copper into German port,
at which place large sum of money
was to be paid to the Russian.
Government officials said they were
inclined to give little credence to this
phase of Fay's story, but it was made
a part of the evidence upon which the
men were held over for further hear
ing.
Four of the men charged with the
conspiracy were locked up under fed
eral custody tonight. These included
Fay and Walter Scholz, his brother-in-
law, who. after being released in a
police court at Weehawken. were re-
arrested on federal warrants and
brought to New York. They were TAX
en- before United States Commissioner
Houghton. Both Fay and Scholz said
they had no funds with which to en-
ploy counsel. Commissioner Houghton
postponed their hearing until Nov. 4,
.l,
said in the meantime he would provide
them with counsel. PaAl Daech, an
other Of the alleged conspirators, when
arrested on a federal warrant in the
Weehawken police court, elected to be
taken before the nearest United States
commissioner at Jersey City, N. ]. He,
too. was held in $4,000 bond, but lis
hearing was set for Nov. B. DIR. Her.
bert Kienzle, who was arrested yes
terday in New York, up % tonight had
been unable to furnish bond for mis-
release from the Tombs prison.
Chief Flynn said so far he had been
unable to locate Max Breitung, the
fifth man charged with completely in
the conspiracy. Breitung is a cousin
Of E. N. Breitung Of New York and
Marquett, Mich, a wealthy mining
man. In dispatch from Marquette.
E. n. Breitung was quoted as saying
his cousin would provide legal defense
which was taken as indicating that the
man named in the complaint here
would appear later. It was said he left
Chicago today for New York.
