To determine, if possible, Just how
broad a hearing the roads expect they
asked for today's conference.
Messrs. ee and Garretaon issued a
statement today insisting that the
Erie abide by the findings of the arbi
tration board. "During the entire do
ings from January to July 1. at which
tlmethe Btrike vote was canvassed,"
ays their statement, "no intimation
was given to us that the Erie was not
dealing In good faith. The Erie men,
therefore, are Justified in their con
tention that whatever award to refer
red by arbitration on other roads
must also apply to the Erie.
' The committeemen of both conduc
tors .and. trainmen, for .the Sfe-isr ys-
tem are now in session in New York
and will insist upon the decision in
cluding the Erie railroad. Unless the
railroad agrees to arbitrate, a strike
on the ESrie system might be ordered."

Another letter Mulball wrote at
Indianapolis on June ,17. 1908. to
Schwedraan at St. Iouis, reported that
"Mr.. Watson had a large majority of
the machine under his control."
"The convention of the Miners will
be held here on the, twenty-first.", it
continued. "They certainly expect
Gompers, Duncan and others. Three

Indianapolis January 19, 1908. told

On January 19 Mulhall Wrote Schwed-

to write Emery and "eay that Speaker

received a letter from former Senator

He testified he made a written re

WALL STREET TODAY
At 10:45 a. m After several days of
almost unparalleled dullness the stock
market was aroused from its stupor
this morning and the early trading
was active on a rising scale of prices.
Virtually every stock traded in shares
in the advance.
Chief interest centered in the stocks
in which a large short interest is be
lieved to exist, for which there was
an Insistent demand. Trading in Ca
nadian Pacific was unusually active.
The first transaction was a block of
2,000 Shares at 215 1-4 to 215 3-4 a max
imum advance of 1 3-4 which, however.
did not put up the price to the point
it reached in London before the open
ing hour. Gains of 1 to 2 points were
made by Union pacific, Lehigh Valley,
Atlantic Coast line, and First prefer
red, Mexican Petroleum and American
Sugar.
Noon A decided change occurred to
day In the appearance of the stock
market. Trading during the first hour
was larger than the total transaction
last Friday, when the lowest mark of
the dull -period was reached. Commis
sion houses had moderate buying or
ders at the opening. London and Ber
lin bought Canadian Pacific and Paris
took Amalgamated Copper. Buying
orders were partly offset by profit tali
Ing, whioh at times caused slight re
cessions,, but offerings wre well taken
and the list as a whole held strong
through the morning. Best prices of
the day were recorded at noon. A
significant feature was the offering
of foreign money for 80 days at 5 1-4
per cent. This was almost the first
Indication here of relaxation in Eu
ropean money conditions which trad
ere regarded as an important influ
ence in the improvement of the mar
ket here as well aa abroad. Bonds

BIG JUTING
Many Local Progressives to
Be at Rock Din-
" . ner .' : i';-
Knox Smith, Alsop and Vin
cent Among the Speakers
Local Ticket Likely
At the meeting of the Bridgeport
Progressive club in Its headquarters
In Fairfield avenue tomorrow night
plans will be completed for the trip
to Savin Rock to attend the reunion
of the "Forty-niners." It is thought
now that more than 50 will go from
Bridgeport. Some will go in automo
biles and a number will make the trip
in an auto bus. The majority who ga
leave Bridgeport on the 10:30 trolley
car. The dinner will be served at 1
o'clock but the Progressives will meet
at 12:30 at the Smith house. Covers
will be laid at Bishop's Colonnade for
900 persons. , - ,
Among the speakers' will be Herbert
Knox Smith, Former Senator J. W.
Alsop, S. El. Vincent and a number of
others who have been prominent in
the Progressive movement in Connec
ticut. The speeches will follow the
dinner.-.. . , " . ' .: :
Speaking of the Progressive situa
tion in Bridgeport today a promin
ent member of the club said:
"The party has not decided on any
candidates as yet but we are looking
the field over to pick the best ticket
possible. The members of the Pro
gressive scjarty are really too busy
earning their bread and butter to pay
much attention to politics just now.
Most of us are Just plain everyday
sort of fellows who have to work for
our living. .
"We think if we select the right
man, however, we can elect a Pro
gressive mayor in Bridgeport this fall.
We will have a' full city ticket in the
field and we will have a platform
which I think will appeal to every
man . of understanding.
"In the past a number of our gath
erings have not been bandied in the
way we have liked because we have so
few politicians or the kind of men
wtio have had 1 experience in getting
up these affairs but, those who attend
this gathering at Savin Rock will find
that every detail has been' looked af
ter- . There will be no hitch about
anything in the reunion at Savin Dock
and all who attend' will be assured of
a good t$me. A number of the Bridge
port Progressive's will take their wives
with them.'- . . - '
SUIT FOR $750,000
MOWS OUT OF :m
CUBAN CONTRACTS
Bishop Broderick Named as
Defendant In Action,
Alleging Fraud",
Hartford, r Conn., July Charging
conspiracy and fraud, a suit for 3750,-
000 damages was instituted today In
the superior court in this city against
David Broderick and wife, of Hart
ford: Bishop Bonaventure Broderick of
Saugertles, N. x . ; former Congress
man John A. Sullivan of Boston; Hugh
J. Reilly and Hugh J. Rellly, Jr., of
No wTork city. The action is brought
by Jose Antonio j Frias : of Havana,
Cuba, and 'New Tork, in the name ot
the Latin American Contracting ana
Improvement company, which is the
assignee of Frias through a third par
ty. Congressman Augustine Loner-
gan is leading counsel for the plain
tiff ,
Tbls action grows out of the ' $3,-
80Q.O0O sewer and water system built
in Cianfuegos. Cuba, from 1908 to 1&10
and final payment of $557,661.78 made
by the Cuban government on August
27, 1912. Hugh J. Reilly of New Tork
was the general contractor and dur
ing the history of the contract there
were several sub-contractors. Includ
ing Bethel & Thompson, the Cuban
Contract and Supply , dompany, Dono
van & Phillips, of Boston, -Mass., and
Bishop Broderick - and Congressman
Sullivan who bought up the Dono
van interests.
Bishop Bonaventure Broderick, a na
tive of Hartford, is titular bishop of
Juliopolis in Bythinia, Asia Minor, and
was auxiliary bishop of Havana be
fore he became interested in the Cien-
fuegos contract. He had an acquaint
ance with Judge Hugh J. Reilly of
New Tork and It was through the
Bishop that Donovan and Phillips
took the sub-contract. The general
contract toad been taken away from
Reilly once in the political upheavals
ot Cuba. David Broderick is a brother
of the Bishop and a suit brought
against him by the Bishop involving
this Cuban contract has been on trial
In the Superior court here for a month,
arguments in Its conclusion beginning
today.
In the unsettled state of the Island
Donovan and Phillips could do very
little business and Bishop Broderick
by guaranteeing their material and
labor bills and indemnifying them
against lawsuits and claims alleged to
be held by Reilly, the Bishop entered
into an agreement to have half of the
Donovan and Phillips profits.
Hugh J. Reilly, Jr.. figures in the
business as the acting agent of his
family, and David F. Broderick first as
a superintendent for Donovan and
Phillips was afterward general man
ager and agent for his brother, the
Bishop and ex-Congressman Sullivan.
Jose Antonio Erlas had been a mem
her of the Cuban senate and was
prominent on the Island. At the
commencement of negotiations for the
Cienfugegos water supply and sewer
system Reilly associated himself with
Frias under certain conditions, and, it
la said, through him first secured the
contract for 9 8,000,000, . which was
afterward annulled by the City Coun
cil and later by Provisional Governor
Magoon, and stlU later awarded by
the Cuban government to Reilly again
on the unit system which actually
amounted to $3,800,000.
It is now the claim of Frias that he
and Hugh J. Reilly were partners in
the Oenfugeos contract and that the
1 result of their relations (was that
