NEW HAVEN ROAD
 IN NEW CONTEST

Boston, July 12-CUP)-Though It's authority has been superseded by the U. s. District court of New Haven, Conn.,, the Massachusetts public utilities commission today planned to continue Monday hear ings on scheduled abandonment of 88 stations on the Old Colony branch oi hte New Haven railroad.
 The railroad announced late yes- terday that it would close the sta- tions, serving lower Cape Cod, Sun- day, acting on authority granted by Federal Judge Carroll c. Hincks of New Haven. The move will elim- mate 65 passenger trains in Mas sachusettS.
 The state commission has two recourses open, according to Chair man Burke Sullivan. It might ask the attorney-general to appeal to the U. s. circuit court of appeals or order the stations reponed and then place an enforcement order with the attorney-general who then could carry the question through the state courts and even tually to the U. s. supreme court

 BILL OF PARTICULARS AS TO
 ACCUSED HENRY W. MINOR
 Tn compliance with the order of the court entered on July T. 1888, the State files herewith the following bill of particulars:
 In further pursuance of said conspiracy, to wit, between the lst day of January, 1886 and the date of this information, said Henry w. Minor, then and there being a member of the bar of the State of Connecticut and not engaged in active practice of the law and then and there being a police and fire commissioner and from time to time the Chairman of the Police and Fire Boards of said City of Waterbury appointed by said T.

Independents Latest
 Demand Challenged
No Statute on Record Compelling Party to File Copy of Rues-CuIhane's Status Occasions Speculation

Search today for a statute where by a political party must file a "copy of the rules" with the secre- tary of state, as claimed by the h. dependent Democratic club failed of success and evoked comments from local attorneys and political lead- CTS who, it seemed, had never heard of such a statutory requisite.
 No Requirement
 "When party presents candi- date for state or nationfal office, then 1t must submit his name and outline the principals of the party" Attorney John F. Tobin, member of the Independent Democratic town committee remarked. But there is no requirement. whereby party must file copy of its rules"
 This was consensus of legal opin- ion and resulted from the demand" of the Independent Democratic club, one of three factions within the h. dependent Democratic ranks, on Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary for copy of the rules. " Chairman Crary plans bringing the matter before the next meeting of the town committee but was inclin- ed to view the story relating to fil- ing of such matter with the secre- tary of state as the outgrowth ot ignorance of the statutes and politi- cal and parliamentary procedures Reach Impasse
 Brought to the fizzle point by the bickerings of the past several weeks the affairs of the Independent Dem- ocratic party neared another im- passe today. Sentiment has been gathering among members of the Democratic party, and some mem- bers Of the town committee, that &C., tion required by statute be taken against the Independent Democrats This action would mean citing ot the members of these groups before the town committee to show cause why their names should not be stricken from the Democratic prim- ary lists.
 This is customary procedure and oNAAAS A)SAiAoSioto nave DCCIl ing for this type of purge" since the election last fall when Senator George T. Culhane, running as a candidate for mayor on the Inde- pendent Democratic Republican Fusion ticket, claimed throughout the campaign, and later, that he was "a Democrat Just what Sen- ator Culhane's position is today what with repudiation of his state Independent Democratic party plans by the local town committee mem- bership, has not been determined.

ments from said Board of Finance and from the citizens and tax payers of the City of Waterbury: and all for the purpose of con- cealing the unlawful and fraudu- lent methods and transactions of said Hayes, Leary, Kelly. Dunn and Minor and for the purpose of concealing the formation and existence of said conspiracy. The payment of said sums was for purported services in adjusting labor disputes in various manu- featuring plants in said City of Waterbury, which services were not properly Sthe function of any agent, agency or department of the government of said city, and for purported services in mak- ing investigations of various city departments, all rendered in be- half of and at the request of said Hayes and Leary and all of which services were never ren- dered by said Minor in that amount on behalf of or for the benefit of said City of Waterbury. The claimed employment of the said Minor by the said Hayes and Leary was unlawful and wrong ful and was made without the Knowledge of the said O'Connor, corporation counsel as aforesaid. The purpose of said employment was unlawful and fraudulent.
 And in further pursuance of said conspiracy, certain checks, vouchers and warrants payable register sheets, including most of said checks cashed by said Minor as aforesaid, were removed, burned or otherwise destroyed with the knowledge and connivance of said Minor and upon the order of said Hayes, Leary, Kelly, Borg naes, Alderman and Dunn between October 5, 1897 and January 3, 1888, for the purpose of conceal ing said illegal and fraudulent transactions and for the purpose of concealing the formation and existence of said conspiracy.

JUDGE SEABURY
 HOME FIRE SCARE

New York, July 12.s- CUP) = An explosion and fire early today damaged the five-story town home of Judge Samuel Seabury, 65-year- old reformer who directed a legisla- tive investigation that broke the power of Tammany Hall in 1881 and drove Mayor James J. Walker from office.
 The judge and his chauffeur, John Mooney, were driven to the street by smoke while firemen fought the glaze in the fourth and fifth floors.
 First reports that the house had been bombed were discounted by Lawrence Fischer, deputy fire mar shall. He said the wire was caused by short circuit in the ceiling of the fourth floor, and the explos- ion, so violent it shattered glassware in the kitchen on the ground floor, had been caused by an accumulation of smoke, heat and gases.

would have no known political af- filiation.
 The mix-up in the Independent Democratic ranks during the last several weeks has resulted in strange factionalism. Although actually a political club, the Independent Democratic club has sought recent ly to regulate the affairs of the party and developments today (noted elsewhere in The Democrat) indicate that the friction has come to head.
 Many of the original Independent Democratic group have sought to call halt to maneuyerings of more recent members seeking to control party affairs. Chairman James E. Hartley and others of the founders of the party have been reported as aggravated over lack of the consid- cration shown the party leaders in at least the instance of appoint mentS in the office of Republican Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland.
 Factionalism Spreads
 The controller failed to appoint those endorsed by the Independent Democratic party, among his almost universally political appointments, but did name Mrs. Beatrice Connor daughter-in-law of Roger V. Con- nor, president of the Independent Democratic club, as well as others from various factions of the group Thus, the factionalism of the local political set-up spreads through the Republican fold, as well, and sev- eral candidates of the Fusion ticket last fall would fail of a unified SUD- port should they attempt further campaigning, the survey indicates.
