Later he had an extended conference with J. W- Gregory, special assistant to th-j Attorney General, who. with Assis tant Attorney General Adkins, recently cc-mpleted an exhaustive investigation ot New Haven affairs. At the suggestion of Attorney General MoReynolds. Mr. Elliott would not dis cuss what took place in the conferences. "Much as I hato the word." ho said, "all f-can say is that we are making pro firess." " First of a Serjes. Asked if he would have any further conferences today. 3ir. Elliott admitteo that this would be only the first of a series of discussions ho would hold with tho Attorney General '"I expect to be here several days," he said, "and the Attorney General may want to talk with me further." Mr. Elliott was silent as to the ln tcrittv he had Saturday with J. P. Morgan. "While Mr. Morgan has quit the New Haver directorate," he said, "He still is interested as a stockholder In the co.t rany." Developments of tho last few days have brought the New Haven situation to 'a point where something is expected to "break" at once. Reporting to the Attorney General, Messrs.

An offer has been made to turn over its stock, in the Boston and Maine to trustees to be appointed under the direction or the Attorney General, such trustees to dispose of Its stock to others than New Haven stockholders. Another move made by the New Haven was th canceling of an agreement It held with the New York Central, by which the two roads shared Jointly In the profits of the Boston and Maine.

Rainier Post office, and Horse Blanket and Old Rugs Left by Safe crackers Aid Authorities in Their Hunt. A fingerprint on one of the window panes, a horse blanket, and several small rugs are means by which post office inspectors, aided by tho Wash ington police and tho authorities of Prince George county, hopo to trail tho yepgmen who early Monday morn ing cracked tho safe in the Mt. Rainier, Md.. postofficc and got away with $200 In currency and stamps. The horse blanket and tho rugs were used by the cracksmen to muffle the iound of the explosion. The finger print was discovered by Fred Satibcrg. official photographer of tho Washing ton Police Department, who visited the scene of the robbery Monday evening. The fingerprint waa on the upper pane of the window through which the "rob bers gained entrance to the postofflce. Sanberg was unable to take a copy of the fingerprint and it was necessary to remove Uie pane to preserve It. The safe is or an old type, and a bolt in tho door was removed so that tho nitroglycerin could be poured Inside. The cracks around the door were sealed with soap, and tho fact that the ex plosion was so well muffled that It did not awaken the occupants of an ad joining house, only a few teet away from the postofflce, indicates, the police say, that tho robbery was the work of experienced safe crackers. Jt was pointed out today that tho robbers did no experimenting, but had apparently gone to work like men fa miliar with tho business. The safe was blown "clean." that Is. tho door was forced out by the explosion, but only a sufficient amount of explosive waa used to accomplish this without wreck ing the safe or even tearing the door trom the hinges. The horse blanket and the rugs found on the floor of the postofflce were old ones, and the postal Inspectors think they may prove valuable clues. PHONE CO.

The fact that the Navy Department has been unable to raise the quaran tine placed on the naval station at Guantanamo on account of the small pox: cases taken there from the bat tleship Ohio was the reason given this morning by Secretary Daniels for another chang'o in the plans for the winter battleship practice.
