Boston that the New Haven was put ting on the steamship Massachusetts to run from Providence at the dollar rate in competition with the Joy line that would bring it to it's destination little ahead of the Martinique. , "Give Few Passes"
 "Of course, you do not know any thing about the Joy line in this mat ter" the letter added T imagine that they are giving away few passes, Hall wrote to Williams on Aug. 3 in reference to the business of the Joy line. ''but we shall not indulge in that luxury except very few carefully dis tributed for Sunday excursions to Martha's Vineyard
 A few months later a proposition to sell the Joy line to the New Haven came up. but was not acted upon at that time, according to correspondence that passed between Hall and Charles F. BroCker of @Ansonia, Conn, one of the defendant directors
 -Brooker on Nov 27 wrote td Hall: Do you want to say anything about the Joy line? Am told outside parties are egotiating with Dumbaugh (pres- ident of the Joy line). If you want to look into 1t, let me know.
 Wouldn't Buy Joy Line.
 We certainly do not want to buy the Joy line" Hall replied in a letter two days later, giving as a reason that 1t had nCthing to sell but "one dilapidat- ed steamer and the lease of half . dock"
 But we will make it exceedingly warm" he added. "for anybody who does buy it. as long as this opposi- ton continues"
 A sHeated Wranale.
 The introduction of the letters which were read by James ". Os- borne. one of the attorneys of the gov ernmenL, was preceded by a heated wrangle among counsel as to the right of the defense to cross examine a wit ness on the contents of documents re- lating to Joy line transactions which he had been asked by the government merely to identify.
 Judge Hunt ruled against cross ex- animation at this time.
 Gan We count on you being at the wheel during all these joy rides, Mfr. Osborne?" was the final shot of Delan- cy Nicoll of counsel for the defense
 "Pll be on deck when I'm wanted retorted the government attorney.

NEW sEAMAN's LAW
 EFFECTIVE TODAY.
But It Will Not Be Risidly Enforced
 at Once.

Washington. Nov. 3-Under i'm str1ctfonss issued today by. Acting Secretary Thurman of the department of commerce, American vessels which have made a bona fde effort to com. ply with the requirements of the new seamen's law effective tomorrow will be allowed to clear, even though they have been unable to secure a crew strictly in accordance with the new law.
 Many complaints about dificuIties in meeting the requirements of the law have been received. From the Pacific coast both steamship com panies and seamen's organizations have protested that the officials charged with the examination of ap- plicants for able seamen certificates have not been able to conduct the ex- aminations in time to provide crews for ships sailing tomorrow. Mir. Thurman has been busy for a week disposing of questions arising con- corning physical examinations and ex- aminations for seamenship and life boat men.
 The law takes effect tomorrow only as to American vessels not admitted to registry under the foreign registry act; as to the latter it becomes ef- fective September 4. 1916. Such parts of the law as apply to foreign vessels will be effective as to treaty nations on July 1. 1916 and as to other na. Gons on March f, 1916

REVIEW OF ELECTION BY
 NATIONAL REPU5. CHAIRMAN
Says Results Must Be Anything But z Gratifying to the Administration.


 New York, Nov. 3.-Charles D. Hilles. chairman of the national repub- lican committee, tonight. issued the follow Ing statement on the results Of yesterdays election:
 The result of yesterdays election must be anything but gratifying to the national administration. The contest Tn the democratic state of Maryland is so very close that the result will be in doubt until decided by the official can yass. In the democratic state of Ken Iucky,s where national questions were lugged in by the democrats to avoid a drubblng. the republicans have shown their old-time form. We have carried Cincinnati by the largest plurality ever given candidate in that city. .
 The republicans have retained con- trol Of the legislatures in New York and New Jersey: have elected officers in upper New York state and all off, cers in Pennsylvania. They have swept Massachusetts by pluralities ranging from 10, 900 to 5000 electing all state officers and 160 republican members of the legislature against 79 democrats We have carried the one congress siorla. district In Pennsylvania, and three in New York, and one in which the Twenty-third New York has been held by a democrat
 Tt is significant that the issues dis cussed in Massachusetts and the Twenty third New York by men of national note were wholly those arising out of the domestic policies of the na- tional administration. William s. Ben net. elected in the Twenty third New York. made the protective tariff his keynote, and the ran 11,0a0 ahead of the republican assemblymen who were candidates in the same territory.
 The Boston Post contended that the national administration was on trial and that the election of Mccall would be vote of lack of confidence in the policies of President Wilson.
 Surely, the national administration cannot point with pride to and pretend to be complimented by the success of Tammany Hall in securing control of local New York offices and aiding in the defeat of the New York constitu- tion

 Within Few Miles of Asua Prieta.

Douglas, Ariz.. Nov. 3.-whether General Francisco Villa intends to press home his attack on Agua Prieta or abandon the border town and play for bigger game. the western coast cities of GuayInas and Mazatlan, which would give him ports for securing muchsneeded supplies, is problem that Is puzzling both the American army officers here and the Carranza forces in Agua Prieta tonight.

Serbia's position grows more crit teal. The Austro-German drive from the north is proceeding slowly but surely, while two Bulgarian armies are approaching Nish, from which place the Serbian government has moved to Mistrovitza, over near the Montene- grin frontier. The Serbians neverthe- less are fighting stern defense battles and from the German accounts it is apparent that their main armies are making good their retreat and leaving. as the Russians did in Galicia and Poland, very little except what can not be moved-such as copper mines flor the invaders.
 RuFnania May Allow Russia Passage.
 There is no further news of the Russian expedition which several days ago was reported off Varna, Bulgaria's s chief seaport. The opinion is held in the entente allied countries that Ru- mania, where there is continued agita- ton in favor of intervention on their side, will allow the forces of Emperor Nicholas to move across her territory. If this decision is reached it is be-. Heved that 1t will be influenced by the activity Of the Russian army in. Gaiicia. where, according to the Rus sian official reports, General Ivanoff has won another victory over the Teu- tons on the Stripa river. Further north, in Volhynia. there also is heavy fighting and the Russians claim to have checked an Austro- German of- fensive which had as it's object the capture of Czartorysk.
 Russians Making Series of Attacks.
 In fact. all along the eastern front the Russians, according to the Ger man official report, are making a se- ries of attacks from the Gulf of Riga to Rumania. It is admitted that the Germans were compelled to withdraw their lines in the lake district, but the other Russian attacks are claimed to have been repulsed
 In the west unfayorable weather is interfering with the operations.
 Both French and British subma- rines are now in the Sea of Marmora, where the French submarine Tur- guoise was recently sunk by the Turks.

New York, Nov. 5.-The alleged ef- forts of the New York, New Haven and Hartford raiiorad to crush out the competition of the Joy Steamship com the testimony being presented by the government to prove that William Rockefeller and ten other directors of the road are guilty of having conspired to mCnopolize the transportation traf- fic of New England
 What the Government Claims.
 The government alleges that this line was eventually acquired by the New Haven and secretly operated as pendent line out of business. The tes- timony today. which consisted chiefly of the reading of letters. written by the late John M. Hall, president of the New Haven. was intended to show how the competition of the Joy line between New York and Providence became in 1900 a thorn in the side of the New Haven.
 Competition Growing Serious.
 On July 3. 1900. Hall wrote to J. w. Miller, the New Haven marine super intendent in New York, that this (the Joy lle) competition is getting seri- ous and will have to be treated in some way. although Ii. is difficult in view of the state of public feeling in EIOVldenCe.-i
 On July 10 Hall wrote to Edward G. Buckland. an attorney representing the New Haven in Providence. in reference to criticism of the New Haven by the Providence Journal and stated that the New Haven would reduce its steamboat fare from that city to New York to one dollar --
 .r Wicked Providence Journal, -
 -Thc wicked Journal will probably say" wrote the New Haven president. that this is done to crush out the business of the Joy line, but you and l know that we have only yielded to the urgent demand of the people of Provi- dence for cheaper service. If ques- tioned thereon. avoid any allusion to the Joy Steamship company or any statement that we are putting on this service to interfere with them. Say that we are simply trying an experi- ment tc see if the people appreciate a cheap excursion service"

 Conveyances of All Sorts.
 In his account of the retreat the cor respondent describes the scene on a muddy road leading to the south, along which was strung an amending process sion of gun carriages. carts loaded with war material conveyances of all sorts bearing women, children, old men. the sick and the wounded, with at intervals 6ocks of sheep and droyes of pigs, and of soldiers walking side by side with peasants. At the sides of the road stood groups of peasants, waiting until they were able to take great stream is flowing southward." 1" says the writer. whither nobody knows
 Wounded PitiabIe Sight.
 The wounded were a pitiable sight. Some, swathed in bandages. were car ried on stretchers, while others, also banda ged, were walking because no stretchers were available for them. Still others who. had been wounded ~ oandsged trod the road with the pro- ccssion.
 Nish Bears SquaIid Aspect.
 ".At Topola. King Peter, ill and weak, was waiting to retire with the rear guard of his troops. Arriving at Nish. the correspondent found the city bearing a squalid aspect Almost all the shops were closed and many of the inhabitants had fled. On the main street were still flying the flags which had been hoisted in honor of the allies who lad been expected. but who had never come. The price demanded for carrtases for transporting refugees was enormous, 40 pounds sterling be- ing asked for the hire of a carriage for two to Pristina.

Tn vain we besought the entente to allow us to act and attack Bulgaria before her mobilization was complete. The en- tente was still under the deiusion that Bulgaria would march against Turkey We obeyed, and that was our ruin. The situation now is terrible.
