Billiard Go. Pays
 Back $1, ,25O, 900
 To The Railroad
Continued from page 1

$125 and sold it back a year later at $150. It was alleged that Billiard was acting in the interests of the New Haven and that the deal was hcti- tious transaction.
 The New Haven at that time was forbidden by the Massachusetts laws to own the Boston & Maine, and it was charged that Billiard assumed title to the stock to enable the New Haven to inform the Massachusetts authorities that they did not own con trol of the Boston & Maine.
 Later the New Haven was author ized by an act of the Massachusetts legislature to acquire the Boston & Maine and the holdings of Billiard were sold back to the road.
 Billiards ostensible profit in the deal was about $2,75o,0OO, but this was reduced by other transactions be- tween the New Haven and the John l.. Billiard Co.,. which was organized.
 According to testimony in the re- cent criminal action brought by the government under the Sherman anti trust law against former directors of the New Haven, Billiard personally did not get but $50,oO0 During the trial O. the case it was contended by the defendants that the Billiard trans action was bona fide.. It was brought out by the government that Billiard was, EFwever, financed in the deal by the New Haven and never put up a cent Of his own money.

Mai. Hermann Goes
 On the Retired List
Continued From Page One

Continued From Page One
 Major Herrmann's career in the state military service is a striking exam pie of rise and promotion due to sheer merit rather than to political or social influence
 of the old Fourth infantry as a pri- vate. During the Spanish-American war he served with his company when it wasAmustered into the United States volunteer army as Battery B. First Conn, Heavy artillery.
 Although he did not know it at the time he was destined to see further and more extended service as heavy artiIIerynan after the war. He was artificer of the battery during his war service, later a Sergeant and af- ter the war first sergeant of Com pany K when it was reorganized.
 On July IS, 1899 he was commis- stoned second lieutenant and first lieutenant on April 2, 1903. He was commissioned captain in 1904 and major on March IT, 1909. His nili- tary. service as company officer was with the old Company K now the Eleventh company, Connecticut Coast Artillery Corps and the oldest military organization in the city.
 Major Hermann is a member of the N. ". Bishop camp, Spanish-American War veterans, and is prominent in So- cial and fraternal circles here. He has been the fire commander of the mortar section of the Coast Artillery corps.
 It is believed his successor will be a Bridgeport man and the choice will be between Capt. Arthur c. Bennett of the Fourth Company and Capt. Elias s. Hall of the Eleventh com pany, both of whom command mortar Capt. Bennett is fourth in point of service in the list of corps captains None of those who are his seniors are likely to be candidates for the positions. The election will be by ballots of the officers of the corps which will be counted at the adjutant- generals office on March Il.
