the Sherman law.
In the case of Mr.. Ledyard and Mr..
Pratt, Attorney Nicoll argued, they acted
in good faith when the purchase of the
Boston and Maine Railroad stock by the
New Haven was sanctioned. This trans
action gave the New Haven control OF
a competing system and forms the basis
of part of the Governments case against
the indicted men.

venders," said Mr. Nicoll. They sue

At the time of the transaction in 1907
Mr.. Nicoll said, Mr.. Ledyard was di-
rector of the American Express Com

COUNCILS NOT CALLED
ON TO DECIDE LOAN
No Indications That Finance
Committee Will Call Meeting
for This Purpose

No meeting Of Councils Finance Com
mittee has been called for the purpose Of
deciding upon a permanent loan measure
TO submit to Councils and there are no
indications that such action will be taken
in time to put a municipal loan measure
TO vote on November 2. Members OF the
Finance Committee who visited City Hall
today said that no meeting OF the sub
committee would be held today and that
the members probably would not get to-
gether until later in the week.
Any action OF Councils looking toward
the passage of loan bill would have to
take place this week, as next Monday Is
the limit OF the four weeks time for ad-
vCrtising the intention OF Councils to in
crease the Indebtedness of the city.
That the question OF new permanent
loan will be ignored at this time Is indi-
Gated by the failure OF the Councilmanic
hnanciers to take any action, and it is
generally believed by Councilmen not on
the Finance Committee that there will be
nothing doing" in permanent loan at
the coming election.
The failure OF the finsnciers to act, in
the face of the Mayors request for
H,25o,00O loan for transit, is taken to indi-
cate that his request will be entirely dis
regarded and overlooked.
While the prospect for any permanent
loan vote in November grows simmer
each day, there is nothing to indicate
that loan may not be taken up at n
special election later In the winter. The
cost of such special election would be in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Money must be obtained by loan for the
many permanent municipal improvements
now underway and also to meet the cost
of land purchases along the Parkway.
If the Improvements are to be continued
without interruption, a loan is imperative
either this fall or next spring, in the
opinion OF those familiar with the needs
of the city

that the head of the Foreign office should put aside the sumptuous quar-
 ters at his disposal, and choose this abode iii the heart of Bohemia. And yet the scrupulous regularity of Del 4casse's. private life is recognized, and his choice of this quarter is merely a matter of personal taste.
 When Delcasse went to Petrograd d as French Anpassador as4few years ago his systematic and simple habits were made evident there. He took no part in the high fife Of the Rus sian capital. Regularly each morn ing at an early hour he called at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a talk with M. Sazanoff. which was made the subject of a. detailed report to Paris. He was scrupulous about this daily conference in it's bearing on Franco-Russian diplomacy, but out side of that the French Embassy at Petrograd drobped Nout Of it's usual place as the center of all that was going on in the intense life of the capital.
 These temp peramenta1 ,characteris- tics of Delcasse, of simplicity, syste- natic regularity, and keeping things very much to himself, have not tended to strengthen him as a popular figure so that when the storm came over the Balkans they all contributed in way to the result which retired this world figure of diplomacy from the. important role he was playing in the foreign affairs of the war.
