THREE ARE ACQUITTED
Horace Stoneham, Fred Andrews and August Stroh Not Guilty, Judge Says, in Mail Fraud Case.

New York, Feb95.-Three of the fellow defendants of Charles A. Stoneham and E. D. bier, on trial in federal court were ordered ac- quilted today by Judge Winslow. They were Horace Stoneham, broth CT of the baseball magnate, Fred Andrews, cashier of the bier brok- craze, and August Stroh, assistant to Andrews. All were charged with using the mails to defraud.
 Judge Winslow ruled that the prosecution had failed to connect them with 8 conspiracy to defraud Stoneham's customers in the trans fer of their accounts from the firm of Charles A. Stoneham X Co.,, to that of E. D. bier &S Go. prior to the failure of the latter concern in 1921.
 There now remain on trial only three of the eight original defend ants-Stoneham, his partner, Ross F. Robertson, and bier. Their cases are expected to go to the jury to- morrow or Friday.

NO DECISION YET ON
 BONDS FOR SUBWAYS
Tendency of Bill to Eliminate These Issues From Borrowing Limit Said To Be Cause of Delay.
Special to the Heraldl

Hartford, Feb. 25.-No decision has been reached as yet on the ap- plication of the City of New Britain for power totissue subway bonds in the amount of S35O,0OO. and it is un- derstood that action will be delayed until the legislature has laid down it's policy on the proposed exclusion of subway bonds from the five per cent borrowing limit.
 It is reported that this measure is not as generally favored as was supposed at the opening of the pres ent session, some legislators feeling it would leave a loophole that might be taken advantage of by some of the cities of the states.
 Subways owned by cities are self supporting since rentals cover the cost of maintenance and construc- ton over a period of years. Since it is not actually a city debt, it is argued that the bonds should not be figured in when the borrowing limit is reckoned.
