of its affairs until the plan has heen

nounced by Chairman Howard Elliott
after the meeting, of the board of di
rector of the road yesterday after
noon. . ....
The official report of what was done
at the meeting was given out by Mr.
Elliott himself and was as follow:
"The directors discussed very fully
the general "..conditions , surrounding
the affairs of the. company, but can
not at this time msuie any announce
ment except that before any settle
anent with the government -is accept
ed by the -company the whole matter
will be submitted to the stockholders.
No other business was discussed.
Eighteen of the 23 directors were pres
ent." Thre wcs made public at the same
time & long statement of the financial
condition of the ' road and its subsi
diaries for January of this year as
compared with January, 1913j. and for
the -seven months ending January 31
as compared -w ith the same - period
last year.
The Boston & Maine and the Maine
Central are not Included in this re
port because, accordin g to a note at
tached to the statement, the Iew Ha
Tcn "has T.itWrawn from all partici
pation i- the manaceraefet of those
pro-periies." . --
The flRi;.res shotv that the net cor-,
porate incone of the KeW'Havec for
the seven months ending January 31
last was $152,216.23 as against $4,543,
342.92 for the Game period, last year,
a loss of $3.S31,126.9. There was a
loss of operating revenue for the per-
lod of 52.041,73.1, and an increase In
Operating expenses and taxes of $1,
&4,SS0.2C. . "' '"
- There was an increase in the de
ductions from gross income of the last
seven months as against last year of
J1.2S5.7S4.08. ' - . ' '
The net corporate income represents
the sum -available for the vpayments
of floating- debts, , additions and im
provements and dividends. .. -
For January of this year, as Mr.
Elliott pointed out, a , much , better
showing was made. Xhiring that J no nth
toe New Haven, , according to the
statement, reduced its i expenses for
"conducting1 "transportation Jl 51,884-81,
and cTrt down general traffic expenses
f2S.7S8.73.
Maintenance of way expenditures
were decreased $9,607.41, but mainte
nance of equipment expenses -increased
$47,630.29. making .--a. reduction in
total operatins expenses tor the month fland,
AH this, Mr. Elliott said, was the
result of reductions In r transportation
and administrative expenses. .Every
effort, it was emphasized, .was being
made to put and keep the equipment
in good order. -
Nevertheless,, the net corporate ia
come showed a deficit for ; th month
of $889,187.50 as against a deficit of
. $349 542 for aJmiary, 1913. Of the com
panies given in the list and in which
the New Haven Is interested, only five
showed financial improvement: in the
seven months period over' last year,
so far as net corporate . Income goes.
MeREYNOLDS TURNS DOWN
FORMER PRESIDENT TAFT
- AS TRUSTEE OF B. A ll
' Boston, Mass., March. 7 Ex-President
William II. Taft has been turn
ed down by Attorney-General Mc
Tteynoids for membership on . the
Board of Trustees of the Boston &
Maine road on the.. grounds ; that, as
president he had sanctioned the action
of Attorney-General ; Wickersham in
reversing the decision made under
the Roosevelt administration that the
merger, of the New Haven and the
Boston & Maine was illegal.
While the settlement of the deed
of trust between the Department of
Justice and the New Haven officials
Is still "in the air," it is apparent that
there, has been at .least. an agreement
of both parties that former Chief
Justice Marcus Knowlton, of ' Massa
chusetts, will be the chairman of the
board of trustees. Mr. Knowlton is
the choice of Governor Wal3h. .
Asked what he thought of 'the sug
gestion made by Senator Gallinger
recommending ex-President Taft for
chairmanship of the board of trus
tees. Governor Walsh made it evident
that he did not favor it, stating that
lie believed the" 'members . selected
should be from northern New England.-
His statement was as follows:
"I have the highest (personal re
gard for ex-President Taft, but I still
feel that the-selection of the trustees
should be made from northern New
Eag-lan4. ' .' -. j; . ..!.- . : . ...

RANDOM NOTES
It sounds paradoxical, but it is true,
nevertheless, that in Europe where
they have no temperance laws, the
annual, consumption"; of strong drink
has been gradually growing less for
several years, -while in . this country,
where - there - are- severe- and- strict - li
quor laws, the consumption of liquors
has steadiljr increased. : . An article in

Vassar's fair daughters will, celebrate to-day-the centenary of the birth
of John H.. Raymond, first president of the pioneer institution for the 'higher
education of women. ' Under -President Raymond's able direction, Vassar col
lege was an immediate success, and its subsequent growth has been rapid and
permanent. ' - Women all over the world how look tor the Poughkeepsie insti
tution as their alma mater, and the example of Vassar. has served as an. In
spiration to many similar and younger colleges for girls. "' '
- Next year will mark the semi-centenary of the opening of Vassar College,
which was so named in honor of a brewer, Matthew Vassar, who. provided the
endowment. Born In Norfolk, England, in 1792, Matthew: Vassar came to
America as a child. His father settled in Poughkeepsie, where he establish
ed a brewery, a business which was continued by Matthew. In those days
Vassar ale was as popular , as a Vassar education is now, and the brewer
waxing-wealthy, determined to apply a portion of his fortune to the eifteow
ment of a school for the higher education of the fair sex. In IS 61 he donat
ed $400,000 to the Institution which" became known as .Vassar College, and
which was formally opened four yeaxs later under the presidency of Dr. John
H. Raymond. Matthew. Vassar contributed several other large sums to the
college before he died in 1868. v .-'-. .
