 CasesA1ag Be HeId in october.
 The Din filed yesterday consists of s61 pages of reference to resolutions passed by the New Haven's board and the directors of some of it's subsidia- -ries- If other delays, which now seem probable do not materialize, the gov to trial in October.
 The bill reveals for the first time that the finance committee of the New Haven kept secret the acquisition of the New zEngland q. RailroadS company not only from the Stockholders but also from the general board of New Haven directors. sr1is is shown by the minutes 7aof a netting Of the finance committee adopted June Il, 1S97- They follow:
 nittee- Present, Charles P. Clark, J. P Morgan, William Rockefeller, George J. Brush and Charles F. Choate, the president (AIr. Clarlx) re- ported the acquisition of 2,334 shares of the preferred stock of the New Eng $S0 a spare;5y that the stock was being carried forS collateral to a note of Will liam E. Barnett. and the committee ordered further purchases Of the stock. rected that no mention or the transac-- ton should be made to the standing committee or to the board. And sug- gested that on or before the Soth of Junei the amount of William Barnettss note should be paid by check from one of the members Of the finance com mittee to be taken up and reissued af- ter July 1.''
 The government charges, in addi- ton, that in order to prevent the loan transaction from being recorded in the fiscal report for the year ending June 30, 1897. Barnetts dummy note was ac- 1ua1ly paid as proposed and was promptly reissued again after July 1 of the same year
 Bought Stock of Boston Herald.
 In support of the charge that the New Haven subsidized New England nSwspapers and neWspaper men the Pf94 cites a resolution passed by the Rs1lard company, a s1Fbsfd fary, on Sep te4nber g. 1909, aAthorfzing an ir1e crease in it's capital stock. This, it says. tends to support the. charge of subsi dizatton through loans made to Charles w. Pickett. and others and the purchase of stocks and bonds of the Boston Herald.
 The bill states that evidence of the ra4entton of the Springfield Street Halway Company qn& the Worces- ConaaliSeSe easstrs Raflway Co. in contempt of an order of the Massa- chusetts supreme court is contained of the Billiard company on June G. 1913, sauthorizfng loans to these com panies. The supreme court issued its order in 1909.
 The New Haven was repeatedly de- nfed that it had any connection with the destruction of the Enterprise Steamship Co. Tn contravzntion is cited a resolution of the United Etates Transportation Co.'S directors of October 10. 1908, authorizing the payment of s2o. .0oo to John Hall Mo- Kay for obtaining the pier leases of the Enterprise Go.
