of Lewis Shade and John Chaurney,
who lost their lives in the mine acci-
dent at the Short Mountain coliiery

900 bushels of potatoes as surplus

put in operation as soon as the sur
vey is complete. The number of
acres in potatoes this year Is large,
and the crop is averaging about eigh-
ty bushels to the acre, the men max
ing the survey say.
4 meeting was held in the defense

Pennsylvania to
Buy New Haven
Stock in Market
Samuel Rea Denies Con-
troll of New England
Road Is Sought

1t is stated in we'll informed quar-
tiers that the Pennsylvania Railroad has
determined to increase its influence IN
the management of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford The first step IN
that direction is understood to have
been taken by the directors last week
in the form of an authorization tc pur-
chase in the open market for the ac-
count Of the Pennsylvania oV'ooo
shares of New Haven stock.
The Pennsylvania holdings oil rec
ord early this year amounted to 4S'Z2o
shares. At the same time, 1900 shares
stood in the name Of 7. De Witt Cuyler,
a director. making total OF 53,oZo
shares now controlled on: of the l,on'-
I79 shares outstanding.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania. while not specifically denying
that il is the intention of his company
to acquire more New Haven stock, said
that his com oany is not seeking stock
control.
There was also a revival yesterday oil
the rumor that Howard Elliott is soon
to retire as president of the New Haven
advices from Boston stating that ne
would be elected chairman of the BOARD
of directors. James II. Hustls, presl-
dent and receiver of the Boston q
Maine. was named in the same report as
a possible successor to Mr.. Elilott as
president of the New Haven. others
mentioned in the same connection are
BENJAMIN Campbell, yice-president. IN
charge of traffic; +. j. Pearson, VICE
president in charge of operation oil the
New Haven. and Lyman d. Smith VICE
president in charge Of finances and ac-
counts of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
A closer relationship between the
New Haven and the Pennsylvania rail-
roads would not surprise wall street
in view of the establishment OF a INK
between the two lines in the New YORK
Connecting Railroad, the stock OF when
is owned Jointly. The construction OF
this line will cost about s20,0OO,OOO, and
when completed it will be operated by
the New Haven.
II has been pointed out that no ob)ec--
ton to the acquisition of control Oh
the New Haven By the Pennsylvania
would be raised by the Department OF
Justice. as the two roads are not COM
peting.
