REPORT ON NEW HAVEN ROAD
"One of Most Glaring Instances of Maladministration, Reveal
ed in All the History of American Railroading' Is State
ment in 30,000 Word Review Waste and Misman
agement Causes Loss of Between $60,000,000
and $90,000,000.
DIRECTORS WERE CRIMINALLY NEGLIGIBLE
) ! Boston and Maine Despoilment, Inequity of West Chester Pur-
J, chase, Double Price For Rhode Island, Recklessness of
Other Purchases at Prices Far Above Market Value
and Unwarranted Extravagance in Every
Direction Is Charged.
Washington, July 13. "Criminal i
negligence." and "one of the most 1
glaring instances of maladministra-1
tion revealed in all the history of i
American railroading,' was the terms :
the interstate commerce commission
I employed today in reporting to the,
'senate on its investigation of Newt
Haven railroad financial condition
The situation may be summed up
i tils way:
B Many of the transactions charaeter-
W ized as violations of the law and the
federal antitrust laws have been re
ported to the federal department or
I justice.
The depreciation of the Boston and
Maine hegan when the Mellen-Mor-gan-Rockefeller
management came
4nto control
John L. Blllard and the Blllard com
pany were merely agents of the NeV
Haven; Billard never used a dollar
of hit own money, and burned his
bookt and papers It was not tha
understanding of the New Haven
board that he should take profits ol
mere than $2,000,000 All the assets
i of the Blllard company belong to New
f Haver stockholders and a suit by the
V railroad against Billard and those
who participated in the transactions
should be maintained.
Dummy Corporations
Dummy corporations and their use,
which the report says In the Nev
Haven was frequent are condemned
in unmeasured terms
The system of interlocking direc
tors is condemned as it existed on
the New Haven and In general. The
commission says it fcund most every
railroad's Interests were better rep
resented on the New Haven than that
of the average stockholder.
Tre'oident Mellen's dealings with
tormer Police Inspector Byrnes of
New York in the West Chester rail
road trapsaction were branded as cor
rupt and unlawful.'
Illegsl Expenditures Recoverable.
The amount illegally expended I
1 bhould be recoverable
The purchase of Rhode Island trol
ley lines and coastwise steamships
were described as extravagant and
wasteful
All the transactions the commis
slon holds were consummated with
the object of setting up a complete
transportation monopoly in New
England in violation of the federal
statutes.
Washington, July 13 "One of the
f most glaring instances of malarimin-
, istiation. revealed in all the history
i of American railroading," Is the in
terstate commerce commission's char
acterization of Its findings in the in
fl veatigation of New Haven financial
affairs reported today to the senate
In a report of 30.000 words, prob
ably the most drastic in terms of any
iJ ever made by the commission, the
New Haven's directors were pro
nounced "criminally negligible' Evi

Commend Present Management.
In Justice to the present manage-
art ment. the commission says it is but
r0ir fair to say that Chairman Howard Ei
ther liott and Wa,ker D H,ne8. special
counsel, "have co-operated with the
11 eu con mission and rendered It substan-
. ap-Vi rial assistance."
(eS f The report cites these "significant
h incidents".
"Marked features and significant
iiir iB Incidents In the loose, pxtravagant ad-
cs ac- ministration of the finances of the

tion to which the railroad was a par
t ; extensive use of a paid lobby in
i the senate; the investment of $400,
U00 In securities of a New England
newspaper, the regular employment
of poMtical bosses in Rhode Island
and other states, not for the purpose
of having them perform any service
but to prevent them, as Mr. Mellen
expresses it from 'becoming active
on the side, the retention of John L
Hillcrd for more than $2,700,000 In a
transaction in which he represented
Ihr New Haven and into which he in
vested not a dollar, the inability of
Oakleight Thorne to account for $1.
032,000 of the funds of the New Hav
en instructed to him; the domination
of all the affairs of this railroad by
Mr Morgan and Mr. Mellen and the
absolute subordination of all mem
bers of the board of directors to the
will cf these two; the unwarranted in
crease of the New Haven liabilities !
from $93,000,000 In 1903 to $417,000,
001) In 1912; the Increase In floating
notes from nothing In 1903 to approx
imately $40.000 000 In 1913; the in
defensible standard of business eth
ics and the absence of a financial acu
me.i displayed by flimflam financiers
hi directing the destinies of this rail
road in its attempt to establish a mo
I iiopoly of the transportation of New
England A combination of all these
has resulted in the present deplorable
situation in which the affairs of this
railroad are involved."
From the facts developed in the in
vestigation it will seem there Is lit
tle question concerning the recovery
of a substantial amount of the stock
holder's money that has been wasted
Several items of this nature are
briefly summarized.
Summary of Illegal Transactions.
Uerpaid Perry and Thorne in com
missions, $303,750.
Illegally spent In obtaining West
chester franchise changes $1,524.
072.77. In the Billard transaction $2,748,700
The money v ith which Billard ac
quired the 15. 755 additional shares of
common stock and 5826 shares of pre
ferred stock of the Boston and Main
Railway company was furnished by
i the New England Nagation com
I pany. This stock was turned back
to the navigation company for $3,087,
000. It would seem that a suit by
stockholders for the recovery of the
profit which Is justly due the naviga
tion company lf any was made by
Blllard in the transactions involving
' these additional shares, could be
maintained.
"If any expenditures were made In
Nidation of anti-trust laws of the
United States are not such expendi
tures ultra-vires? and is it not the
legal obligation of the directors to
satisfy the stockholders out of their
own private fortune?
NO TRACE OF TWO
MISSING SISTERS
Detectives Unable to Throw
Any Light on the Nelms
Dennis Mystery.
Portland, Ore . July 13 Nothing
developed here today to throw light
on the mystery of the two missing
sisters, Mr6 Elolse Nelms Dennis and
Miss Beatrice Nelms of Atlanta, Ga,
Victor E Innes, former assistant
United States district attorney for
Nevada, who obtained a divorce for
Mrs. Dennis at Reno, Nev . and whose
I name has been connected with the
I disappearance of the two. refused to
j see anyone but his lawyers.
Counsel -for Innes said that his
client was weary of reiterating de
nials of knowledge of the sisters
! whereabouts or of having any busi
ness transactions with them. After
receiving a statement from Innes
late last night, the Portland detec
tive bureau decided it had no cause
to detain him
The police of various cities recent
ly began a search for the sisters at
the request of their mother In At
lanta, who received a letter, post
marked San Francisco and Bigned by
Mrs. Dennis, saying she hnd murdered
her sister and intended to murder her
brother in San Francisco.

JURY OF TWELVE MEN
IN THE DEMEHTRE
MORDER CASE
It was nearly the noon hour toda
when the case of the State of Utah
against Peter Dementre, charged
with mirder in the first degree, was
called for hearing in Judge James A.
Howell's division of the district court,
due to the fact that the attorney for
the defendant was delayed In reach
ing the court room.
In this ca6e the district attorne
ha concluded to have 12 Jurymen
rather than 8 which 1b the practice
In Utah with prosecuting attorneys
in capital punishment cases. It would
be legal under the laws of Utah to try
the case before only eight jurors, but
to avoid the possibility of a constltu
tional question the old number of Ju
rymen will hear the evidence and
pass judgment
The defendant Is a Greek and It Is
alleged in the Information that, on
April 29. 1914, at 141 Twenty-fifth
street, in a coffee house, he stabbed
to death one Nick Kargis, a fellow
j Greek, and the district attorney ex
I pects to show by creditable witnesses
that tbe defendant deliberately, in
j a fit of anger, stabbed Kargis with
a pocket knife, a number of times, ln
i lil ting a wound In the neck which
caused immediate death.
On the other hand, the attorney for
the defendant states that he expects
to show that Dementre was provoked
to the point of desperation when Kar
gis held a candle in his face and told
him to pray and also taunted him
over Greek affairs He says that it
will be shown that Dementre wa
holding the knife in his hand while
Kargis was bothering him and that,
in being pushed away as he approach
ed clotse to him. he stabbed him, fol
lowing up with the stabbing when
Karris furl her pressed his aggravat
ing tactics, but that he had no inten
tion of committing murder, and that
he really was only defending himself
Tbe attorneys say It will require al
the afternoon and perhaps a part o C
tomorrow to get a Jury.

CARBAJAL HOPES H
f OR EARLY PEACE
Plans to Transfer Government
in Peaceful Way Instead of
by Military Occupation.
CARRANZA OPPOSED H
All Hope of Peace Parley With H
Huerta Delegates Has
Been Advanced.
Washington. July 13 Mexico City lH
wns looked to today as the place
where the next big scene In the Mexl
can situation would be staged. With
Huerta about to quit and turn over
his affairs to his new foreign minis- jf
ler, Francisco Carbajal, hope was ex-
p'-essed that a way might be found ll
peacefully to transfer the government fl
to tho constitutionalists and avert IjB
military conquests of the capital by il
their triumphant forces.
Carranza has announced his unwil
lingntss to deal with Carbajal regard
ing him as the creation of Huerta
Nevertheless, it has been suggested jl
that parleys for the quick transition
jal appeared in the role of represent- B
atlve of a faction, rather than as pro- IH
visional head of a government which
tbe constitutionalists refuse to recog-
nize. Carranza it was declared. In- HI
tended to follow the "plan of Guada
lupe," which provides for military oc-
cupation of the capital. However. fli
several European and South Amer-
l lean nations, it was said, might frown 'B
j on such a course. They regard with
apprehension the possibility of fight-
ing in Mexico City and forceful as- IflSS
' sumption of power without some pre-
j vious guarantee to the populace. It
! has been strongly Intimated thai if
Carranza, after Huerta's elimination. 1
should Insist upon his original pro-
gram disapproval would be manifest- WW
ed by several nations They might Bra
refuse to recognize the constitutional- Krai
1st leader unless he showed a diBpos: HilS
tion to give some quarter nPfPy
Plan to Avoid Fighting. flawc
Indications were not lacking, how iHkS
ever, that a way might be found for 'KfraB
the transfer of power without much FBftjg
further fighting. Tbe impression pre- HBB
vailed widely In Washington that hos
tilltles in Mexico were near an end. Mgj
It was suggested that If arrangements PU
of peace were settled upon, Carranza t
could enter the capital with only a
comparatively small force to help pre- iH
serve order. The remainder of his
armies would remain at the capital's j
gates or either present headquart- 1
ers, to be dispersed upon the restora- I-
Mfvr nf neace. F
All hope of any parley between rep-
j resentatlves of Huerta, who took part
I In the Niagara proceedings and the
, constitutionalists upon the basis pro- f
I posed by the South American envoys. i
practicallv has been abandoned. Car- ft
! ranza has" not formally replied to the
mediators' proposals but official mes-
sages from his headquarters at Saltil-
lo have Indicated what his reply S
would be. General Villa was reported f
to have received a message from Car K
ranza. asserting offers of mediation
by the South American envoys id
Mexico's internal affairs would not be
accepted Carranza was quoted as ;
saving the only thing he would ac- '
cept was the surrender of Huerta and I I
his army. jfl
Huerta, it was believed, might quii .g

tomatically the new foreign minister, K
Francisco Carbajal, would assume the
