NEW HAVEN MAY BE
STRIPPED 10 BONE
McReynolds Decides on Suit
That May Leave Only Shore
Line and Feeders.
SPEEDY ACTION EXPECTED
Minority Stockholders Sue Present
and Former Directors for Resti
tution or $102,000,000;
Multiplied by Three.
WASHINGTON. July 1". Negotia
tions between the New Haven and the
Department of Justice to effect a
peaceful dissolution of that system ap
parentlyme to an end taday. and un
less there are unforeseen developments,
the Government will file Its Sherman
law suit to force a dissolution next
week. The bill against the New Haven
practically is complete, and finishing
touches will be put on It Immediately.
Before it is filed Attorney-General
McReynolds will confer with President
Wilson and lay the whole New Haven
matter before him and ask far Presi
dential approval.
No Other Solution Seen.
Mr. McReynolds is understood to be
loath to take the case into court, but
feels that there is no other solution of
the prDblem of untangling the New
Haven. His ears are not closed to fur
ther negotiation with railroad officials,
but it was the opinion at the Depart
ment today that the New Haven had
rested Its case. Official notice of the
action of the directors In New York
yesterday, refusing to accept condi
tions laid down by Massachusetts for
the sale of Its Boston & Maine stock,
came In the course of the day. There
was no intimation of any plan for
complying with the Government's de
mand that the Boston & Maine stock
be sold, and It was the general feeling
that the matter Is clased and that only
the conference between the President
and the Attorney-General remains be
fore the filing of the bill.
Rabid Action Expected.
It became known tonight that the
New Haven is not expected to offer any
great resistance to the suit. It was
reported that the Government bill
might not be fought at all and the
New Haven might even go so far as
to appear in court, confess judgment
and put it up to the court to determine
whether a dissolution shall be ordered.
This would contribute to a speedy de
termination of the case In the District
Court. It is understood that when suit
Is begun it will be pressed to a con
clusion as rapidly as possible.
There has been some doubt here as
to how far the Government's bill will
go in asking for a disintegration of
the New Haven and its subsidiaries. At
one time the bill contained a provision
asking for the separation from the
New Haven of the old New England
Railroad, which runs from Boston
through Willimantic, Hartford and
Danbury, Conn., to a point on the New
York Central about SO miles from New
York. This road never had a direct en
trance to New York, but connected at
several points along its line with
branches of the New Haven "shore
line." It was assimilated by the New
Haven management many years ago
and is now considered a vital part of
the system.
Only Shore Line May Be Left.
There was some question whether
the Sherman act will apply to the New
England, and it Is possible that this
feature will be eliminated from the
bill.
If It Is retained and the Government
should carry the point. New Haven
would be stripped to its shore line and
a few feeders projecting north into the
New England states which It traverses.
RESTITUTION- SCIT IS BECCS
Minority Storkliolders Demand Pay
ment or Three Times $102,000,000.
BOSTON, July 17. A restitution
suit whereby minority stockholders
seek to compel former and present di
rectors to restore to the treasury of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company approximately $102.
000.000. alleged to have been Illegally
used In building up the system, was
b. eun in the Supreme Court today.
The complaint alleges that losses re
sulting from the acquisition of the
Boston & Maine trolley and steam
ship properties by the New Haven
mounted to 1102.000,000, and that un
der the Federal anti-trust act the New
Haven company is entitled to recover
from the defendants three times that
urn, or $306,000,000.
Judge Braley. before whom the ac
tion was brought. Issued an order of
notice, returnable next Friday, to -show
cause why a receiver, special master
or other official should not be ap
pointed in accordance with the bill of
complaint.
The plaintiffs, who are trustees of
the late Olga Bull Vaughn's estate and
own SO shares of the capital stock,
asked for a receiver to take possession
of all claims in favor of the defendants
but not to interfere with the admin
istration of the current affairs of the
New Haven company. They asked, also,
that shares of capital stock held by the
defendants be not distributed, except by
order of the court, and that they be
applied later to the payment of any
court decree that might be issued.
The suit is against the corporation
and the directors in office from 1904
to 1909. John I Blllard, who is said
to have derived a profit of $2,000,000
from transactions with the company,
was not made a defendant because he
was not a director during that period.
OVERT ACTS ARE SOUGHT
(Contlnoed From First Page.)
would get the land, whichever way the
suit between the Government and the
railroad, for the possession of the grant,
thould go.
"Didn't It strike you as inconsistent
that Minard should be attorney for
both you and the railroad company?"
asked Attorney Strahan, on cross-examination.
"It didn't -at the time I signed the
papers and gave Harper my check for
$300." said Burcham.
He had explained that the check was
for two claims, one for his sister and
one for himself.
Check Stopped Too Late.
"But before I got to Seattle I thought
of it," he continued. "I was in a hurry
to make my train and signed the papers
about 1 o'clock. I called up the bank
the next day to stop payment on the
check, but the cashier told me It .had
been cashed at 3:30 o'clock the day be
fore." He said ha never had seen Logan
and Harper before, but denied that he
was depending m Sellers, whom ha
knew, as a guarantee that the deal was
bona fide.
"Had you any notion of becoming an
actual settler" asked Attorney Stra
han. "What did you mean when. In
your application, you signed an agree
ment to perform any and all acts re
quired of settlers?"
Occupation of I. a ad Xof Known.
"I don't know howto answer that,"
said Burcham. "I didn't Intend to go
down to Oregon and make my home
on the land. I never was told it was
necessary."
Other witnesses likewise said they
bad had no Intention of making actual
settlement on the land.
C. A. Betts, a Seattle physician, iden
tified a check for $25 as one he had
given Sellers in January, 1912, as a
partial payment on a claim in Oregon.
He said he had not received the money
back and heard nothing from Sellers
for about a year, or until he wrote to
him and threatened to start criminal
action if tho money was not returned.
Dr. Betts said he also asked Sellers
to return the power of attorney which
he had given him.
Letters from Sellers to Dr. Betts
were introduced, in which Sellers said
he had been unable to find a piece of
land for Dr. Betts. but that he still
hoped to find one.
Sellers Offer Money Back.
"Didn't you send a letter to District
Attorney Reames, when you learned
that this case was coming up, offering
your testimony?" asked John Ryan, of
Seattle, Sellers' attorney.
"Ves." said Dr. Betts.
"Then all that's the matter with you
is that you want your $25 back?"
asked Mr. Ryan.
Dr. Betts denied this.
A letter from Minard to Frank F.
Haight, of Cle Elum, dated November
14, 1911, was introduced as evidence of
one of the alleged "overt acts," as was
also one from Minard to M. B. Peter
son, a Tenino merchant, and others to
Cle Elum and Tenino people.
"My son-in-law wanted me to go into
this thing," said Peterson, "but I told
him it looked a little bit scaly."
Later He "Baji Location."
Later, he said, having had the mat
ter explained by use o.' a map by
Harper, he paid $105 for a claim, agree
ing to pay $105 more when he should
be furnished with an estimate of the
timber on the land.
Mrs. B. Waddington. of Oak Harbor.
Wash., formerly of Tenino. told of
paying $165 to Harper for a location.
K. E. Calhoun, of Cle Elum. said he
paid $195 to Logan in Seattle, with the
understanding that he was to get a
deed to the land in not more than four
months. His father and mother both
took claims, he said, paying $315 for
the two. Calhoun said that Logan
gave him a specific description of his
land, which was to have good, tillable
soil, with only such underbrush as
could be driven through with a horse.
Carl Peterson, of Seattle, was an
other who testified to having bought a
location."
Harper's Activities Bob Up.
The activity of Harper, the Tacoma
barber, who was indicted with the
others, who pleaded guilty, served 30
days and was pardoned by the Presi
dent so that he could be used as a
witness, showed strongly through all
the testimony introduced yesterday
afternoon.
Harper, who was the Government's
star witness Thursday, continued on the
stand under cross-examination yester
day morning.
He repeated his testimony of the day
before that Minard had told him to be
careful about what he put In writing,
and, questioned about the use of "acting
attorney" on Minard's testimony, said
that Minard told him that his attorneys
said it was within the law, but that it
often deceived people.
"I don't know that he used the word
"deceived," said Harper, "but that was
the idea."
Harper Operated Alone.
He admitted that he operated in Se
attle on his own account, that Minard's
part was simply to file and return ap
plications for a fee of $15, but Insisted
that Minard was the head of the
scheme.
"When did you quit this business?"
asked Attorney Strahan.
"I quit it four or five times.
"When did you quit last?"
"Last March."
He told how, returning from testify
ing before the grand jury last February,
he had filed an application for a friend
in Seattle, believing that the grand jury
would not indict. He said he received
no money for this application.
Story Branded "A Lie."
"A lie from beginning to end," was
Harper's answer to a question as to
whether he had not told Minard, after
he came down to appear before the
grand Jury, that he "could get him off
for $o0. "
"Mr. Sellers, according to your belief,"
asked Attorney Ryan, "never did a
wrong thing in cannectlon with the
Oregon & California, did he?"
"No, said Harper, "but he knew
something was wrong."
Harper said he didn t think he had
said, since the beginning of the case,
that Sellers was innocent.
"I did say that I thought he was the
best of the lot," he said.
Harper told of going with Sellers to
see a Seattle attorney. John Mills Day,
and of receiving a brief opinion from
him that the grant land set-tiers would
receive their claims.
He said this was what caused Sellers
to go into the "location" business, ex
plaining that Sellers at the time was
a diamond drill man, and expected to
develop some coal lands near Tenino.
Upright Life Qualified.
"You expect to live an upright.
straight life?" asked Attorney Ryan.
"From this on, you mean?"
"Tes." said Ryan.
"Yes," replied Harper, and then, as
though it had been a quick after
thought, "so far as this timber business
is concerned."
Edwin G. Emme, a Portland attorney,
identified a blank receipt signed by
Harper which he said he had torn from
a pav' in Minard's office, expecting to
use it in a case he expected to bring
against Minard for clients who had
bought "locations." When his clients
gave up the idea of bringing suit, not
wishing to "send good money after
bad." Emme said be turned the receipt
over to the grand jury.
Harper will be recalled today for
further cross-examination by Sellers'
counsel.
The Government will not rest its case
until Monday, when B. D. Townsend,
formerly special assistant to the Attorney-General
in charge of the case
for the forfeiture of the railroad grant
lands to the Government, will be a
witness.

tures is complete, but whether the

PROSECUTOR HINTS AT ARREST OF
ANOTHER IN HOUSEHOLD.
Doctor's Wife Indicted for Man
slaughter, Which May Be Super

FREEPORT, N. T., July 17. Mrs.
Florence Conklin Carman, indicted to
day on the charge of manslaughter In
the first degree in connection with the
killing of Mrs. Louise Bailey on June
30 last, returned here tonight, tem
porarily a free woman. She was re
leased for trial under $20,000 bail 15
minutes after the grand jury made
known its findings to Justice Van
Siclen, sitting in the criminal branch of
the Supreme Court at Mlneola.
When Mrs. Carman was led. into the
courtroom for arraignment, she showed
the strain she had been under since
her arrest.
On the understanding that his client
would have the right to withdraw her
plea within two weeks and file a de
murrer and a motion to quash the in
llctment on the ground of insufficient
evidence, her counsel entered a plea of
"not guilty."
After the ball bond had bee'n signed
the physician's wife was led to an ante
room and there she collapsed. The
jail physician and her husband admin
istered restoratives and then assisted
her back through an underground
passage to the jail.
Five hours later she arrived at her
home. While she was on her way,
District Attorney Smith reiterated that
he had new evidence which might later
lead to the finding of a superseding
indictment charging Mrs. Carman with
a higher degree of homicide. The Dis
trict Attorney also asserted that if
certain clews were developed a mem
ber of the Carman household would be
placed under arrest as an accessory
after the fact.

EUGENE. Or., July 17. (Special.)
More than 160 .acres of timber, a
schoolhouae and some grain land were
reported burned eight miles southwest
of Eugene tonight by a fire which
started Bhortly after noon and threat
ened several farmhouses.
Every resident for miles around was
fighting the blaze this afternoon and
tonight and at 8 o'clock tonight they
believed that they could get it under
control when it reached the creek.
The timber destroyed is some of the
best in the vicinity, most of it belong
ing to the Southern Pacific Company.
The flames swept over the farm of Hu
bert MacBeth and Harry Taylor. The
schoolhouse thought to be burned Is
that of Fox Hollow, which is valued at
less than J1000. It as 18 children.
The fire is said to have been started
by a woodcutter who attempted to burn
slashings. The fact that the wind to
day was not heavy saved the homes of
the farmers scattered about the burned
area.
Steps to organize a crew of firefight
ers in Eugene were taken this after
noon. They will be ready in case the
call for assistance comes. The timber
