'STATE MAY GET INTO LITIGATION Massachusetts Interested in New Haven' Case. ! HAS RIGHT TO BUY STOCK Sommonwealth Fears Victory for Gov- ernment in Proposed Suit WQuIdl Permit Sale of Boston and Maine | bl Securities Without Restrictions. Washington, July 20.—The New Haven raiiroad case assumed a new aspect when it became known here that the state of Massachusetts may | £ seek to irtervene after the govern- ment’s Sherman law suit to dissolve ! the system is brought, and ask the courts to force the New Haven to make a conditional sale of its Bos- ton and Maine stock. Massachusetts now has the right to buy the stock at any time. In recent legislation it preserved that right, but gave permission to the New Haven to sell. i The New Haven board of directors refused to accept that legislation and now Massachusetts is understood t> be fearful lest that right be endan- — 4 gered in the proposed litigation. It is feared that if the government wins its case the court might merely order the sale of the New Haven's Boston and Maine stock without re- strictions. MISUSE OF FUNDS CHARGED Suit by New Haven Stockholders Be- gun in New York. New York, July 20.—Suit in equity was instituted here in the state su- preme court in behalf of certain mi- nority stockholders of the New Ha- ven railroad, against directors of the road and the corporation to compel them to answer charges of maladmin- istration and misuse of funds. The suit, which is brought by the law firm of Robinson & Lauber of { this city, is somewhat similar to the \¥ action in Boston, which demanded 18 restitution of $306,000,000, of which more than $100,000,000 is alleged to . have been misused. One of the two claims made asks that the “individual defendants be compelled to account for all sums of money and shares of stock misapplied which they received by reason of un- lawful acts.” The second claim asks that the de- fendants be enjoinéd from manage- ment of the system. The action alleges that the direc- tors, acting for the corporation, ac- quired transportation lines with roll- ing.stock upon payment of sums of - | & money greatly in excess of the value of the property. This refers to the acguisition of the Boston and West- chester road, which figures in the Boston suit and in the recent inter- state commerce commission report. . WILL ABOLISH PENALTIES Russla to Remove Restrictions Against Emigration. St. Petersburg, July 20.—Russia is about to recognize as legitimate the emigration of her surplus millions to countries other than those in Burope. - The ministry of commerce submitted to the cabinet a bill to abolish some of the penalties hitherto attaching tq unauthorized emigration. The bill in its preamble especially refers to the 281,000 emigrants from Russia to America last year and also to the fact that $50,000,000° was re- 5 mitted to Russia in 1913 by Russian subjects who have settled on the other side of the Atlantic. In place of the expensive passports, which heretofore have been necessary to everybody desiring to depart from Russia, permits will be issued at the cost of only 10 cents. AT THE PANAMA NAMA EXPOSITION General Villa Wantn Mexico tu Be Represented. < El Paso, Tex., July ZOA—Mexlco will participate in the Panama-Pa- cific exposition in San Francisco next year, if the influence of General Villa can accomplish that end. “I am highly in favor of my coun- try being represented at the exposi- tion,” said General Villa in Juarez, “and I will use all the influence at my command to see that Mexico takes part in it” General Villa expressed h(mself as anxious to show the United States . the Constitutionalists appreciate this country’s »ttitude in the rECent strug- | gle.

'SETTLEMENT IS LIKELY \Impreseion Prevalls That End of Irish Dispute Is Near, Only Detalls of Agreement Remaining Open for Ad- Jjustment. London, July 20.—King George, who has been making great efforts to bring j{about a settlement of the Irish home rule crisis, decided to postpone his proposed visit to the great British flecet lying at Spithead, so ‘that he might be on hand in London to re- celve early reports of developments in the conferences going on between the various party leaders. It is understood that when the op- portune mement arrives his majesty will throw his great influence toward the side looking for an amicable set- tlement. The belief prevails that such a aet— tlement is not far off and the Liver- pool Post, one of the best informed newspapers on the government side, zoes so far as to say: “There is really an arranged settle- ment of the Irish question. Details have yet to be adjusted, but the broad fact can be regarded as flxed.” Others Not So Hopeful. Other authorities do not go quite so far, but satisfy themselves with the statement: “There is a near ap- proach to a settlement.” The government is believed to have oftered the Unionists, in case they agree to abandon their demand for a “clean cut’ of the province of Ulster Sut of tha operations of the Irish home rule bill, to arrange that the whole of Ulster, with the exception of the county of Tyrone, which has a great Cathnlic majority, should.vote as a single entity on the question of exclusion fmm the home rule govern- ment. The Unicnists demand that Tyrone |} shall be included in this’arrangement and this has been the cause of the deadlock.

C., July 20.—The im- migration authorities sent a letter to captain Yamamoto of the steamier Komogata Maru, demanding that he leave the harbor with his 352. Hindu passengers.
