the one-time bandit; will be the .next
president of Mexico. That is his" am
bition and'' despite all reports ' to the
contrary it will remain his ambition
until he is either dead or President,"
The declaration was made today by
friends so close to Villa a? tegive
authority to -the assertion. , It " was
prompted by reports that the coming
to Chihuahua of 6enera Carranza,
recognized as the civil head, of the
revolution, was' to bring about condi
tions more satisfactory to f dreig gov
ernments and to place- in the seat of
authority better advisers than; Villa
appears to have n handling , compli
cations growing out of the killing . of

That Villa and Carranza might
meet and that ,-they migh't publicly
embrace as an evidence of their, per
fect harmony was given out as a pos
sibility. :.'-... ;;'..--' ..' . '
I ; General Carranza is now on his way
overland" from Sonora and a magnifi

pared as the of f icial residence or

details of government ? , But it , was
stated emphatically that the 'coming
of Carranza is not to lessen: in any
way the power now wielded by Villa,
who for months has been a dictator.

- Washington", March 14. Attorney
General McReynolds is determined Jto
strip ' the New Haven railroad of all
its 'transportation accessories. The
much-heralded conference at the de
partment yesterday was confined very
largely to discussion about trolley liiuts
in the Berkshires, in Rhode Island and
in Connecticut, but also to what may
be most significant of all, to discussion
about its wharfage holdings. . . The
latter properties owned In fee simple
'by the New Haven, are extensive. The
railroad has. valuable wharves at cit
ies along tHe Sound, including Bridge
port, New Haven, Hartford, Fall Riv
er, New Bedford and at Providence.
The ; department proposes, that these
.shall be sold, along with trolley lines
and -steamships. Vice-President Buck
land was, before the conference to-day
with . maps showing what these
wharves are. He described at length
how wharves -were acquired. 1 The
conference will be resumed next week.
Chairman Elliott did not participate
in the meeting, having had to consult-a
dentist, : but Attorney iHnds,
Crim and Story-were with Special As-
sistants Adkins. and Gregory, repre
senting ' the : department most of the
day. It was said last night officially
that there was little reference to the
Boston and Maine', or- to the timer lim
it during jthe meeting, these topics
to be' brought, up. later. It. was also
said that there were not indications of
a break between" the New .Haven and
the " department of justice, but that
probably in - due season' a- complete
agreement would be reached. ;
- It was very- plain fromto-days pro.
ceedings that Jieither -he- , department
of Justice nor" the New"feaven railroad
officials - havS b een -jtaklng ' the public
extensively Into their confidence as to
what isgoing on in' these negotiations. ,
A big campaign of 'bluff is in progress
outside the department, ! but, on the
other hand, it may require much time
yet to straighten out all the kinks and
get. an understanding that all, parties
will agree to. Yesterday's program
must have Been well understood in ad
vance, because ' both ' Vice-President
Storrs and Buckland were- on" hand
with data to present regarding- trolley
lines and. wharves. . It is -claimed the
New Haven matter has been carried
to President Wilson. Representative.
Peters of Boston was- credited with
having made a protest against the
vigorous course of the department and
to have .obtained "from the president
a promise' that -before anything, was
decided he- would look into the agree
ment., A White House- official, who
says he was present while Mr. Peters
"called on the president1 declares that
the subject of the New" Haven railroad
was not mentioned. ' t - 1 "'
The New Haven's representatives of
fered to compromise the Government's
demand that ; all ' its . trolley lines
should pass out of its control. The
basis ol the compromise 'proposal was
that the New Haven should give up its
control of .trolleys in Massachusetts
and . Rhode Island, but- should keep
those In Connecticut
It was .understood that an agree
. meirt was reached as to the personnel
of .the five . trustees who ' are to loolt
after the New Haven's stock inter
ests in the Boston -& Maine after the
dissolution of the - merger and until
this"tock was "sold, v Two of the trus
tees will be .former Chief Justice
Knowlton of .. the Massachusetts Su
preme Court, a resident of Springfield,
and former City 'Solicitor Doherty of
Snrinsrfield. ' " -
'Vice President Bncklatfd, in a two-
hour .argument over thsf proposal that
the New Haven divest itself of its water-front
rights and properties, ex
plained that the New Haven owned
these properties in fee . simple, and
that they were absolutely essential to
the operation, of its lines. : -.
' The properties and rights, .he said.
had been pad for by New . Haven
stockholders, and they would . lose
heavily if the properties were- disposed
of under forced sale conditions.
The proposal set forth in behalf of
the Department of Justice was that
through. its ownership of water-front
terminals, 'wharfage sites, : fee., the
New Haven had acquired a monopoly
of the ; water commerce of " cities in
southern New England. Mr.- Buck
land denied that any such monopoly
existed. - . .-,
Suggestions had been made at va
rious, times that these ' properties be
sold to the communities in which they
are located," and the New -Haven had
met these suggestions on certain occa
sions by offers to sell, but its terms for
obtaining fair returns had not been
met

That Health Board officials not only
broke faith with him in condemning
the Dronertv iat 100 Stella street of
which he is agent but" acted in a high

six and seven years and that she has
gave him" the opinion that there was
no cause for condemning the property.
Also that he has consulted legal ad
vice and, upon the advice given, is
going to remove the " condemnation
sign. He believes that he is acting
entirely within his rights and ' intends
to make a test of the case. -
In an -interview this afternoon Chief
Mooney at first seemed disinclined to
enter . into a controversy with the
Health Board, although he admitted
that he considered he has Just grounds
for complaint He said that when the
health officials first complained as to
the condition of the ? property, he
agreed" to take the matter'-up immedi
ately with the owner, Mrs. Mary Pa
gan,: of Brooklyn, and a relative of
his wife's. , Also that he has consulted
masons and plumbers conoernins the
improvements desired and was- willing
to' do anything' in reason.
" Mrs. Fagan, he says," has made ar
rangements to come to Bridgeport to
morrow and Investigate conditions. As
a result of this. Tie continues. Inspec
tor Dunbar of the Health Board had
agreed to- take no action in the mat
ter until after to-morrow. He was
surprised to learn of the action taken
at the last meeting' of the Health
Board and to, learn that a condemna
tion card had been placed on the
house. By this action he believes that
he was "double - crossed" and that the
health officials ' deliberately violated
an agreement w7h him. Whether the
L action was innocently done by the
commissioners or with lull knowledge
of conditions he does not know.-"
The complaints, reported as having
been -received by the Health board
from " residents of that locality con

are Improvements to be made but de
nies that there are any such condi

call ' for such drastic action. Also
that Stella street runs into a public
dump upon which all kinds of rub
bish are left and that these circum

Mr. Shea and I would not issue a war

complaints of non-support ; After lis

enough to consider.

ready and willing at all timea to pros

LAKE SHORE 'MUST
BUY SMALL. Li;::
Columbus, O , March 14 -The terms
on which the Hocking Valley, ToIedr
and Ohio Central, Chesapeake & Ohio
and Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railroads 'shall dispose of thir
equity in the Sandy Creek Coal Com
pany and Continental Coal and Coke
Company and by which the Chesa
peake & Ohio shall dispose of its In
terest in the Kanawha & 'Miehi ark
road were prescribed in a decree hand
ed "down here today by United States'
Circuit Judges Warrington, . Kappen,
and Denison. . ' ,
The court decided in December, 112,
that -the holdings were in violation cf
the Sherman ' anti-trust act
By the decree given today, the Lak
Shore is given two .months in wbi-n
it must purchase the stock of the
Kanawha & Michigan, owned now by
the Chesapeake & Ohio, or the Joint
interest of both roads in Kanawha At
Michigan must be sold to others.
The same time is allowed for com
plete dissolution by private sale C
Sandy ' Creek Coal Company's etoclc
and that " of the Continental Coal Ss
Coke Company by the railroads now
holding it.
If these orders are not carried ont
in that time the court will appoint a
master .to direct the dissolution,
v The principal feature of the dace
today Is that the Lake Shore roaA
Is virtually compelled to buv tfe l-ru.
nawba & Michigan stock owned now
by th Chesapeake & Ohio. Acwrl
ing to the. former decision, .the Chesa
peake & Ohio ,was forced to soil lt
interest but since the Lake fihor wju
not compelled to buy it openly, Ciowi
peake & Ohio officials feared sale o
the stock would be forced at an ex
tremely low price, accordi nsr to rtf
ments of counsel for the Chesapeake
& Ohio made here today.
Counsel for both the poverwi!rn t
and the railroads reserved an nmiiyA
ments of whether they would appeal
from the court's decision.
