President KItlott'a general remaiks on
the road were in part as follows:
"While the earnings for the first few
months of the fiscal year were highly
encouraging, being Jh greatest In the
history of the company for a similar
period, the net results for the jear com
pared with 1912 show a large decrease,
due to heavier operating expenses, which
leflect principally the expenditures made
by the company to put the property and
equipment in better condition to handle
business safely and promptly and to pay
increased wage,
"Th unfortunate Accidents at West
port, Conn., on October 3, 1912; at
Stamford, Conn., on June 12. 1913, and
at North Haven, Conn., on September 2,
1913; tho continued Investigations for
several years of the company and Its
operations and the resulting demoraliza
tion and expenditures made the year
one of unusually heavy outlays."

F0SS REPEATS MS THREAT.
! t iill-Slrike l.av Will Protect
llnllrnail Kliiplojsrs.
Hoston-, Oct. a. (lov, Fos has written
letters to the officials of (he ItiotherhooU
of Locomotive Kuglliers and Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Hnglnemen in
reply to their statements that his attitude
regarding a threatened strike of members
of these unions of tho New Haven roa&
Is unjust.
' Mr. Foss tells the heads of the unions
that their correspondence with him Is ap
parently based on the assumption that the
organizations are engaged In a private
calling, when, In his opinion, they are
ically engaged In a public calling and
therefore are subject to public regulation.
In the letters ilov. Foss said:
"The railroads of the country are en
gaged In a public casing nnd are there
fore subject to public legulation. The
same Is true of the cmplo.vees of the rail
roads, anil .vour organization has no more
light to lesent i ( gulat, ion b the State
or nation than h.ive the railroads to re
sent control by the same authorities,
"When our organization adopts a
course of action which would disorganize
the business of our citizens, tluow labor
out of emploment, and Interfere with the
supply of food and fuel. It Is subject to
public control Just as much as the rail
road would be if, In similar manner, it
refused to operate Its trains or other
wise perform Its duties as a public car
rier. "My proposal Is to provide adequate
remedies, through an impartial tribunal,
for all grievances of railroad employees,
at the same time that the Commonwealth
undertakes to prohibit strikes. l!y such
legislation the Interests of the emplovees
will be carefully guarded at the same
time that means are provided to Insure
due consideration of the rights of the)
public. .
"Your letter makes clear that the rule
of seniority Is the real Issue botween your
organization and the New York, New
.Haven and Hartford K.illroad. It does
not. however, present unv new arguments
in favor of the rulo and will not change
the attitude of any fair minded mail.
"1'pon that point I can only repeat
that a strike undertaken upon this Issue
will alienate the sympathy of the pub
lic and compel this Commonwealth to
adopt suitable measures for the protec
tion of fts citizens."

rimandeil for disregarding the rules. Not
once In all the seven days meals that 1
ate In the mess hall did I see tho men
at either side of me move their eves or

"Whenever my left hand neighbor, a
fine looking and agreeable young fellow,
with whom I became very warm friends,
as be was a trusty, with the run of my
gallery, wished to share with me his por
tion of sugar for porridge, he would sim
ply pas it over to me and utter "sugar"
in the softest undertone.
"In fact, to learn to speak without mov
ing the lips and to catch quickly the
sounds of words so uttered Is one of the
first things a convict tries to acquire. How
unnatural this is and how It tends to
repress eM-ry human Instinct, it Is un
necessary to say.
Punishment lloea .Vol Pit Often its,
"Another unintelligent aspect Is the way
the s.vstem Inevitably tends toward mak

of a man who takes up a. crowbar and
attempts to murder the officer in charge.

to get three oi four hours sleep during the

"I hope to translate this experience
Into something of great value to the

.Methodist.
Conine Mack and John .1. McCiaw who
will' lead the Athletics and (Hants ie
spvtlvelv in Tue'd.iy's opening battle of
the world's championship series, sent let
tern telling why they like baseball, which
were read lJBt night at a special baseball
service at Orace Methodist Church. Hut
It was a brief note from Hilly Sunday
that the ball players who attended the
service seemed to think had the real
"pep." He wiote
"My bint wishes to jou ho an you
enter tho world series I II he working
to heat hell nil next week, but I'll luy
off. long cr.ough to look at the scores.
Here'n hoping you ami the Athletics are
In the pink of condition. There's mora
Joy in victory then, whichever way It
goes. I could wish nothing eieatcr for
every ball player in our land than that
each one should have the peace and Joy
that have ijmo to me bv billevlng mill
accepting .lesiis Chi 1st as mv personal
Friend and Saviour."
This is part of what Connie Mack said :
"It Is most natural that 1 should con
sider baseball the greatiwl game of all
time, Certainly no .outdoor game evor
developed a popularity that baseball en
Joys. It Is our national spoit and prob
ably attracts more people during tho
playing season than till other games com
bined, "The leasons for this are found In two
facts, drst, baseball Is a manly sport that
In lugs to the surface the natural skill
and prowcsH of an individual to n greater
extent than any other game ever de
vised; second, as conducted under organ
ized lines It i absolutely above reproach.
"Haeball never can line Its popularity,
never die. as long as the American public
tet.ilns Its conlldence In the men who con
duit It Organizations on the lines which
have brought It to such a high standard
are absolutely neeesary to maintain Its
Integrity and impularlty. May It ever ie
main our national sport, safeguarded by
men of high principles, Is my closing
wish."
John .1. MrGraw's letter follows,
"Naturally 1 think baseball tlie most
aduilrablo pastime In the world It Is not
n sport In tlm common acceptance of that
phriiHe, but It Is a keen competition of
wit, Intelligence nnd muscle against sim
ilar qualities. It develops the mind, es
tablishes discipline and gives to those
who take part In It sound bodies, clear
heads and a better tense of life. I know
of nothing to which I would quicker
recommend young men than baseball In
Its nmiiteur and professional rapacity,
For almost all of my life 1 have been n
participant and n student of the American
untlonnl sport, and I know that i'ver thing
In connection with It Is for the betteinient
of thoso who participate In It."

AttUNr.Oct. 6. While !eser politicians
anil the uninitiated of the general public
are discussing the probable effect of Gov.
Hub.er'n appearance or non-appearance
on the witness stand In his own defence
this week .the fiovernor's wiset friends
who have followed tho situation since long
before the Impeachment trial began admit
that the verdict of guilty or not guilty
will be Influenced not by tho preponderance
of testimony, but by one man. This i
not Charles F. Murphy or any other
political leader, but Kdgar M. Cullen. the
Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, who
thus far has been the dominant figure
at the trial and on whose opinion and
final Judgment the lgnl and official vin
dication of- the Governor or his etTace
mcnt from the public life of this State
hangs.
The exact situation to-ulght Is no dlf
feient from what It, when the trial
began or from what It will be when the
last word of teothnony has been offered.
Not even the must optimistic dreamer
has dared to assert that the entire high
court membership began the trial with
unprejudiced mlnd. And yet there has
been scarcely a criticism even from the
Governor's inot fanatical partlnans as
to the falrnees of tho proceedings and
the Impartiality of the rulings of the
court up to date.
Forty Seem Anslnna In Convict.
A the majority of the court stood on
September IS so It stands to-day. There
nre about forty Senators who will vote
for conviction If they dsre to. The Sen
ators who can be relied upon to stick
to the Governor number eight or nine.
two-thirds voto of tho court, which
Includes In Ita membership nine unpreju

be presumably 39. The decision Is to be
had by a two-thirds vote of the members
present.

Senators who are said to bo so thoroughly

will stretch a point of conscience even
to vote for conviction Uut the rest of
the Senators In the group of forty antl
Sulner men will need Justification befora
their constituents if they vote to convict
the Governor.
It M thlt group of approximately fif
teen Senators who seem to hold the bal

holding the final verdict In his hand" Is
Presiding Judge Cullen. If Judge Cul-
len's ballot Is cast for conviction, the Gov
ernor's friends udmlt. U settle? his fate.
"What Is the ue of keeping this man In
oftlre and then coming hack here next
year to let him veto all our legislation?"
said one of this group of Senators to an
other last week.
That repreients their personal attitude.
Hut "hack home" with many of them
there Is a strong sentiment that the Gov
ernor has been made the victim of n po
litical conspiracy. To go "hack home" In
good odor many of the Senator" must have
Justification, and the complexion of theli
nnal ballot depends on the "aye" or no
that H announced when Judge Cullen'
mime i reached on the roll call.

i if couree no man knows or can ever
know until the last minute what the
trained mind of the distinguished Jurlt
who preside at the trial will decide as to
tho establishment of the Impeachment
charges or as to the validity of tho (.ev-
eral article drawn up bv the Assembly's
board of mnnagers Kver woid he has
spoken during the trial thu far has been
eagerly awaited and pondeied over In the
hope that It might convey some Intimation

Albany Doesn't Kuuw Whether or
Not Mllser Will Take Mnnil.
.M.BsS'T. Oct S Gov Sulrer and his
counsel tented to-da.v At H o'clock to
night H-C.ulv llciiick. Louis Marshall.
Harvey I) Uliiiuun and Hoger I' Clsrk
went to the People's House for n final
conference piellmlnary to the opening of
the defence before the high court of Im
peachment to-morrow afternoon This con
ference lasted until after midnight, when
Mr. Marshall said .
"We have nothing to say. We will be
on band when lourt opens to-morrow and
we will conduct our case to the end a we
have from the outset, outlining nothing
In advance of actual happening In court
This Is n trial and not n newspaper con
trol ers.v ."
It wa said to-night that Gov Suiter's
final decision on testifying personally
would depend upon what he could learn
about the witnesses which the prosecu
tion would call In rebuttal. Until last
Friday the Governor had declared that
nothing could keep him off the witness
stand befoie the court of Impeachment.
Yesterday lie waveied to the extent of
admitting Hint perhaps he hnd better take
his counsel's advice and not b a witness
when lie learned that the prosecution w.i
In possession of the fact of two tlo.oun
contributions, which because the.v were
paid in rush, it was supposed, could not
be truced and consequently need not be
mentioned should the Governor take the
stand,
Governor Is Wavering.
Then again, the Governor learned that
counsel for the prosecution had secured
possession or thn books of the defunct
Carnegie Trust Company, an examination
of which Hhowod thut Mrs, Hulzer never
had u deposit In the Institution, never got
n loan from It and never had any stock
dealings through It.
Counsel for tho impeachment managers
hnve Information la their possession for
uso In rebuttal only "In extremis." which
means In case Gov. Hulzer takes the
stand and makes statements which thov
believe can be disproved. Then the men
who r.wi aid the impeachment managers
will come forward as witnesses.
This Is especially true regarding big
rampalgn contributors to the Hulzer fund,
two of whom are of such prominence In
the business world that they do not care
to be railed as witnesses If It can be
avoided without Injury to tho prosecu
tion's case.
Them was no fund raised by the racing
Interests for the Hulzer campaign. An at
tempt waa made to raise one. hut It
failed, Then two men prominent In the
racing game mads Individual contribu
tions which totalled JO, 000. These con
tributions nave not figured In thu case
heretofore.
John H. Stnnchtletd tins declared that
If nn attempt Is madn by any of the de
fence witnesses to tell a false story con
cerning the Sulzcr campaign fund special
pains will be taken In the cross-examination
to lay a foundation for subsequent In
dictment and prosecution for perjuty.
This will be done regardless of whether
Gov Hulzer Is convicted or acquitted,
Harvey I). Hlntnun Is to open for the
defence to-morrow. Commander Joseph
thai, who paid the 126.000 to Hani A
Fuller lat July when he took up the Gov
ernor's stock, and IkiiiIs A. S.irecky, who
has been the Governor's confidential mari
for eleven years hark, will be witnese,
hut who else will be put on the stand Is
nnl known, to-night.
