DETAILS OF BITTER
TRAFFIC WAR TOLD
Letters Disclose Fight Made
on Joy Steamship Lines by
: New Haven Road.
SECRET DEAL BOOMERANG
Writers Call Adversaries "Pirates"
and "Cutthroats" and Threat
Is Made to "Hang Hides
"t on Shore to Dry."
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. Heretofore un
published details of the story of the
Fix-year traffic -war between the Joy
steamship Company and th New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad,
which ended in the acquisition of the
boat line by the New Haven in 1905,
"were placed before the jury today at
the trial of William Rockefeller and
ten other former directors of the road
on the charge of violating the Sherman
anti-trust law.
Letters read today told how the New
Haven made use of the influence or
Mr. Rockefeller with the late Henry
M. Flagler to prevent the Joy line
from chartering boats from the Florida
East Coast Railway Company; of Its
own influence with the Long Island
Railroad Company to prevent the line
from chartering a boat from that
road; of a concession in rates made
to the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, if it would divert its shipments
from the Joy line to the New Haven
lines: how the two companies tem
porarily buried the hatcnet by enter
ing into a secret agreement to fix
rates and how the Joy line suffered a
decrease in its traffic as a result.
SteamNhlp Men Called 'IMr.te..'
V. M. Dunbaush, ex-president of the
Joy line, said that he had begun busi
ness in 1899 with one boat and that
when he sold out to the New Haven
In November, 1905. the line was oper
ating six boats. The secret traffic ar
rangement had then been in effect
since October, 1902, he said.
John M. Hall, president of the New
Haven during most of the Joy line
transactions, and other authors of let
ters introduced today, did not mince
words in their characterization of the
Joy lino interests.
"Pirates at the best," Hall described
them in a letter to Percy P. Todd, then
vice-president of the New Haven. "We
must all the time realize that we are
dealing with cutthroats."
"Their hides will be taken off and
laid out on the Eonpr Island shore to
dry." wrote E. T. Haskins. general
traffic manager of the .Metropolitan
Eteaniship line.
Rate Wr Fousht Bitterly.
"We will take their sugar for noth
ing rather than, let the other fellow
have it." Haskins wrote in reference to
American Sugar Refining Company
shipments. "We ought to keep the
whole matter a. secret from the public,
if possible," wrote Hall to Todd, in
reference to the agreement which the
New Haven entered into with the Joy
line to tlx rates and which also re
stricted the rtanTs sertice between New
York and Providence. "
The initiative in seeking the agree
ment, it was Indicated by the corre
spondence, came from Uunbaugh, but
it appeared from the minutes of the
New Haven board of directors, author
izing it, that a question came up as to
whether it was legal. The board gave
its approval that the president was
'satistled that It can be legally done,
but in case it proves, for technical or
other reasons, that ft cannot be legally
done by the railroad, then he is au
thorized to execute the contract in the
name of the Providence & Stonington
Steamboat Company (a New Haven
subsidiary )."
The contract was. however, made in
the name of the railroad company, ac
cording to a copy of it put in evidence.

"Money is plentiful and the British

Some people think hard times will come
when the war is over. I don't know:
we thought when the war started it
would shut us up altogether, but the
very opposite has happened, so I am
not going to make prophecies.
"It looks as if America was going to
have a lot more money when the war
is over, anyhow. By the way, sub
marine frightfulness will stop, but not
because President Wilson says so, but
because we get so many of them now

Backache may be due to lumbago,

SALEM, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) The
problem of curbing the temper of
Evelyn Foster, an inmate of the Girls"

the Board for advice.
Following the Foster girl's capture
a week ago after she had fled from the
school with a companion. Mrs. Hopkins
placed both girls on a bread-and-water
diet and put them to work in the laun
dry. The Foster girl refused to work,
Mrs. Hopkins said, unless she received
the same food as other girls at the
school.
The matron then placed the recal
citrant girl in a room by herself, and
she broke a glass tumbler and with
a fragment tattooed her name on one
arm. To prevent further harm, Mrs.
Hopkins placed the girl in a strait
Jacket, but the prisoner tore the jacket
off and destroyed it.
The girl is now locked up in a closet,
where, the matron says, she makes
night and day hideous with her cries
and with constant beating on the walls.

MUDGE TO TAKE OFFICE
Arthur Coppel Elected Temporarily,
and Advice or B. F. Bush Is
Ignored Charge of Bad
Faith Is Made.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Arthur Coppell,
of the New York banking hoyse of
Maitland, Coppell & Co.. was today
elected to the presidency of the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad Company, suc
ceeding Benjamin, F. Bush, at a reor
ganization meeting of the road's direc
tors. His election is believed to fore
shadow serious differences between
important banking interests now in
control of the Missouri-Pacific Com
pany and the Gould interests, which
have strengthened their hold on Denver
& Rio Grande as a result of the elec
tion. .. M
Mr. Coppell'e acceptance ' of the
Denver & Rio Grande presidency is
only temporary, as he is to be suc
ceeded shortly by H. U. Mudge, until
recently president of the Chicago,
Rock island & Pacific Railroad and
now chief operating official of that
system under the receivership.
Election Oppo.ed by Bosh.
The election of Mr. Coppell, as -well
as the choice of his successor, Mr.
Mudge. is said to have , been earnestly
opposed by Mr. Bush, who was the
original choice of the Goulds for the
presidency of the Missouri-Pacific.
Some intimation of Mr. Bush's atti
tude was contained in the statement
issued by President Coppell after to
day's election. He said:
"After consulting with some of the
large stockholders, both in this coun
try and in Europe, we thoroughly be
lieve and are convinced. 4-hat to be suc
cessful the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
road must be entirely independent. Its
chief operating officers must reside in
Colorado and in no wise be connected
with the operation of any other rail
road interests.
Mind Must Be Fr.
"One of the plans that will require
the careful attention of the board and
its ' officers in the near future is the
readjustment of the company's rela
tions with the Western Pacific Rail
way, consequently the chief operating
officer should be a man who is not at
the beck and call of other interests,
but one -whose mind is free to concen
trate on the operation of the road and
be in a position to give advice and as
sistance to the board at all times."
E. T. Jeff ery, for years, chairman of
the Denver & Rio Grande executive
committee, was re-elected today, al-
SAVE -YOUR HAIR .
AND BEAUTIFY IT
WITH "DANDERINE"
Spend 25 Cents ! Dandruff Dis
appears and Hair Stops
Coming Out.
Try This! "Hair Gets Beautiful,
Wavy and Thick in
Few Moments. .
If you care for heavy hair that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life, has an incomparable softness
and is fluffy and lustrous, try Dan
derine. Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it im
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
luster, its strength and its very lire,
and If not overcome it produces a
feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or too
oily, get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter: apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after ou will say this was
the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and
lots of it no dandruff no itchine- cnln
Iand no more falling hair you must
use Knowlton's Danderine. If event
ually why not now? Adv.
