COAST WELL DEFENLED.
Hepresentntlve Sherley Says There are
Only Two Places Not Yet Properly
Fortified.
“The United States is so well fortified,
with the exception of two points where
work is now in progress, that an attack
from the sea probably will never be made
on any of these fortifications,” said Rep
resentative Swager Sherley in an author
ised statement at Louisville; Ky.. last
week. Mr Sherlvv is chairman of the House
committee on fortifications and is cam
paigning in the sth Kentucky district, seek
ing re-election to the House.
"The theory upon which the fortifica
tions have been constructed,’’ said Mr Sher
ley. who led up to the subject with a
discussion of the 17-inch guns used by the
Germans in Belgium, the existence of
which he said he doubted, “is to protect
important harbors from" a direct attack
by a hostile fleet. This has been done,
except at San Pedro, Ga!., where emplace
ments for guns are being built, and at the
mouth of the Chesapeake, where land has
been acquired and estimates shortly will
be submitted for placing 16-inch guns along
with other armament that should protect
that entrance.
“Our guns are of the most modern pat
tern." he continued, “and are capable of
destroying the most modern superdread
noiight. Whether it may be thought ad
visable in the future to prepare certain
minor defenses in the rear of our coast
fortifications is a matter about which there
is some difference of opinion, and will like
ly continue to receive consideration at the
hands of the war college and the general
staff.”
THE EAST TRIMS WEST.
The Harvard-Michigan Contest—-Wil 1-
ianis Ties Tigers—Other Interesting
Results.
The East met the West Saturday in a
head-on collision at Cambridge. The
East got just one touchdown. The West
made a brave attempt to score twice, but
was frustrated. The son of Gov Dunne
of [Hindis played with the westerners. Yule
got sweet revenge on Colgate. But the
real surprise of the day was Williams's
feat in holding Princeton to a 7-to-7 score
No wonder they celebrated up in the
Berkshires Saturday night. The Indians
stumbled once more. Tufts was just one
point better than the "Aggies," bui Dart
mouth was 32 points better than Am
herst. Holy Cross scored its first points
of the season when it got a field goal at
Ithaca. Springfield plastered Middlebury
with ease. The results:—

The larger eastern college football teams
began to move with late season smooth
ness Saturday and as a result imposing
double figure score victories were promi
nent. Yale, Pennsylvania, Cornell. Dart
mouth, Syracuse and the Army between
them rolled up a total of 234 points to
their opponents 19. The day did not
pass, however, without the customary
form upset, for the powerful Princeton
eleven was held to a 7—7 tie by Williams.
Chief interest in the eastern week-end
games was centered in the Harrard-Miehi
gan contest, the most important inter
sectional struggle of the year. Playing
true to tradition, the crimson team de
feated the western university eleven for
the fourth consecutive time since 18S1. One
touchdown and the resultant goal was
the margin of victory, which just about
maintained the superiority shown b,v Har
vard teams over the Wolverines tn pre
vious games.
Hnyttan Executive Seek* Safety on
Dutch Vessel.
President Zamor of Hayti has been
obliged to quit his capital. Port au Prince,
and seek refuge on a Dutch vessel, accord
ing to a report to the state department in
Washington Friday from the American
legation in Hayti. Officials interpret this
to mean that the rebels are in complete con
trol of Port au Prince.
Marines Sent to Hayti.
Orders to proceed with all possible
speed from Dominican waters to Port
au Prince, the rebel held capital of Hayti,
were sent by the navy department at
Washington Thursday to the transport
Hancock, which has on board a full
regiment of marinas. At the same time
the battleship Kansas was ordered to

THE LATEST FROM MEXICO.
(From the New York Times.)
It cannot be said that the latest news
from Mexico is immediately reassuring,
but the convention has undoubtedly taken
itself seriously and accomplished some
thing, though 20 days is a short time in
which to quiet a disturbed country. The
appointment of a provisional president
capable of forming an effective temporary
government to restore order while prepa
rations are making for q new election is
the first essential. The banishment of
Villa was not desired by anybody except
Carranza, and if that discomfited leader
now goes into exile, along with so many
other patriots who have tried to help their
afflicted country and gratify their own
ambition since the fall of 1910. he does
so by his own choice. No tears can be
shed over the political fate of Carranza.
He had the situation in his hands, but
hia empty pomposity and childish intoler
ance have had the inevitable result.
NEW HAVEN JURY REPORTS
FINANCIAL LEADERS ACCUSED
Directorm and Former Dtreetora
Charged With Criminal Violation
of Sherman Law,
Within a few hours after the handing
down Monday in New York of federal
grand fury indictments accusing 20
present or former directors and the former
genera! counsel of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad of criminal
violation of the Sherman antitrust law,
four of the defendants entered pleas of
not guilty before United States Judge
roster and were released under bond. It
ivas reported Monday night that several of
those named in the indictments would
claim immunity on the ground that they
appeared as witnesses in the investigation
or the New Haven's affairs by the inter
state commerce commission.
The indictments Monday were the out
come of a grand jury inquiry which had
been in progress there for several weeks.
Charles 3. Mellen, former president of
the New Haven and principal witness
m, this inquiry, was not indicted. His
name, appears, however, in a list of offi
cers and former directors mentioned as
conspirators.” The late J. P. Morgan is
named in this bill as one of the “con-
Bench warrants were issued for the ar
rest of those indicted at the request of the
federal district attorney. George F. Baker,
rated in recent years next to the late Mr
Morgan as the leading financial power of
Wall street; Lewis Cass Ledyard, one of
the country’s best-known lawyers, and
Charles M. Pratt, a director in the Stand
ard oil company, appeared personally in
court to enter their pleas. George Mac-
Lolloch Miller, who is 82 years old.
was represented by his son. Their bail
was fixed at SSOOO each. Never in the
history of the United States have so many
men of equal prominence faced the, possi
bility of imprisonment If convicted, they
may be sent to jail for one year, though
the law provides a SSOOO fine as alterna
idt Both penalties may be inflicted in
the discretion of the court.
President Wilson himself is understood
to have instigated the investigation which
led to the indictments. Although other
indictments under tfie criminal clause of
the Sherman Jaw have been found, the
if"” bills handed down Monday marked
f 1? teal step made to determine
whether the law can successfully be en
forced.
Conspiracy Alleged.
The indictments charge conspiracy in
violation of the Sherman antitrust law to
monopolize commerce. Under section 2 of
the law. under which they were returned,
the maximum penalty upon conviction is
one year imprisonment and SSOOO fine.
The complete list of those indicted is as
follows: William Rockefeller. George Mac-
Culloch Miller. Charles F. Brooker. Will
iam Skinner. D. Newton Barney. Robert
M. Taft, James S. Elton. James S. Hem

Robbins, former general counsel of the
road. Alexander Cochran. John L. Billard
George F. Baker. Thomas De Witt Cuvier,
l.heodore N. Vail. Edward Milligan and
I’raneis T. Maxwell.
These 21 men are charged, in the lan
guage of the indictment, as follows: “With
having combined and conspired together
with numerous other persons to monop
olize commerce consisting in the trans
porting business," and enumerates a large
number of corporations (approximately
1(101 whose business it was charged was
to be monopolized.

Morgan is named in the bill as one of the
conspirators. Of th e 21 men indicted, only
fire are now on the New. Haven director
ate. They are T. DeWitt Cttyler. Henry

The commerce which it is alleged was
monopolized by the defendants consisted of
water, steam and electric railroad trans
portation in all the New England states.
New York. New Jersey, "and everv other
state of the United States." Conspirmy
is alleged to have extended from July 2,

SIR GEORGE PAISH'S VIEW.
British Financial Expert Favors Re
opening ot Stock Exchange.
Sir George Paish, representing the Brit
ish government, who has been in Washing
ton for the past fortnight consulting with
treasury officials and bankers from va
rious sections of the country relative to
an adjustment of credit conditions be
tween this country ami Great Britain,
held a conference at New York Thursday
with the committee eontroling the affairs
of the New York stock exchange.
Sir George, it is said, outlined to this
committee his views on the economic as
pects of the war as affecting England
and America and particularly with re
gard to the reopening of the various ex
changes in this (ountry. He was of the
opinion that resumption of business by
our exchanges should he effected as speed
ily as possible. He thought that many
of the obstacles recently in the path of
financial and commercial progress had
been removed and he said he saw infal
lible signs of restoration of confidence
both here and in England.
STEEL ARGUMENTS ENDED.
Case Will Probably Reach Supreme
Bench When Federal Court .An
nonnce* Verdltc.
Argument in the federal suit to dissolve
the United States steel corporation on the
ground that its organization and operation
constitutes a violation of the Sherman
antitrust, law was concluded at Philadel
phia Thursday and the court took the big
case under advisement just three years
and three days after tue original peti
tion of the government was filed against
the concern and its subsidiaries. So vast
are the ramifications of the Case and so
enormous the record that a decision is hot
looked for by lawyers until next spring
or early summer. Then, it is predicted,
one side or the other will carry the case
to the supreme court of the United States,
where another year or more might slip
by before a final decree shall have been
reached.
John G. Johnsen of Philadelphia
summed up for the defense in a two
hour speech, and Jacob M. Dickinson,
chief counsel for this government in the
case, began his argument in rebuttal
Mr Johnson opened with the general
statement that the weight of the evidence
in the suit was all against the govern
ment: that the things complained of rest
ed upon imperfect statements and that
when tile government saw its allegations
had not been substantiated by the evi
dence it should have withdrawn the ac
tion. No one had been harmed by the
organization of the steel corporation, he
said, so far as the record showed, nor
had any one. be he consumer or com
petitor, been unfairly death with by the
parent company or any of its subsidiaries.
In this peroration Mr Johnson said
the court is asked to cut up the great
organization into "miserable fragments."
He predicted another war after the pres
ent European conflict is over, a war in
which Germany will battle for the com
merce of the world and in which war the
steel companies in the United States will
be as pigmies if the United States steel
corporation is disintegrated by the courts.
NEW EXPORT MARKS SET.
W«r Shift* Many Trade Current* (*
Lal ted State*.
Waris demands on American granaries,
mills and packing bouses, as shown in an
analysis by the department of commetee,
resulted in record exportations of bread
stuffs, meats and other food articles dur
ing. September. Many trade currents,
broken by the European upheaval, have
shifted to the United States, France de
manding immense quantities of fresh beef,
south America and Europe buying large
amounts of flour, while nearly all the
marlsets formerly supplied from other
sources are importing millions of pounds
of American sugar.
The value of foodstuffs sold abtoSd last
month was $68,it»0.889, nearly double that
of September a year ago, when the total
was $38,786,624. The war demand for
wheat brought experts for tlie three
months ending with September to the
highest point ever reached in any cor
responding period. Total exports includ
ing flour in terms of wheat, in the three
months aggregated 89.250,000 bushels,
compared with 50,000,000 bushels in that
period a year ago.
GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS LESS.
Falling; O« From October of Last Year
I* Nearly 630,000,000.
Government receipts from ordinary
sources were nearly $20,000,000 less dur
ing October than for October last vear.
Customs receipts were off about $14,000,-
000 and internal revenue nearly $6,000,-
000. The figures were in contrast with
the shelving for September, when total
receipts fell off only about $4,000,000,
with customs below the same month in
1913 about $9,500,000 and internal revenue
receipts increased about $6,000,000. The
effect of the new revenue war tax will
not noticeably swell the treasury’s total
for several weeks to come. The net bal
ance in the general fund at the close
of the month was $91,639,163. about $54,-
000.000 less than on June 30. and the
total cash assets were put at $1,866,321,-
137. compared with $3,(^.005,831 on
June 30.
QUESTION OF FOREIGN LOANS.
Bankers Free to Make Them—Decision
Will Lead to Many PurekaKW at
War Supplies Here.
Viewing credit, loans to belligerent coun
tries as private transactions, the Wash
• itgton administration will not attempt
to interpose its influence against such
transactions on. the part of American
bankers. This was learned on the highest
authority in- Washington Friday after
it became known that German financiers
were contemplating the establishment of
a credit loan in this country, similar to
the $10,900,000 credit fund negotiated by
the National city bank of New York and
other bankers for the French govern
ment. The decision of the Washington
administration may lesd. to the purchase
in the United States of about $50,000,-
worth of supplies by Russia and an
equal, if not a greater amount, by Ger
many. Details of the expected transac
tions are lacking in Washington.
