% ORTY-EIGHT BABIES FED AT MILK STATION ptation Is Carcfily Managed By Committes of Ladies. There is a very general misunder- anding in the city in regard to one the things most helpful to the jealth of the city and of the com- ig generation of its citizens. the Milk ion at the Burritt school. The ork of this charity, which is sup- orted by contributions from the cit- lens of the town and mgnaged by a ommittee of ladies, is worthy in 'ery respect of the support and in- rest of all people of the commu- ity. In the spring of 1912 a number ladies of the city took up the mat- of establishing a milk station for o purposes, to decrease deaths ong the very voung bables in the ity and to furnish instruction to hothers in caring for their children. he school board offered a room in| he basement of the Burritt school, ioney was ralsed by subscription and | he Milk Station was established. In e first summer an average of about jfty babies were supplied with milk; d infants of seventeen different na- lonalities were fed. A visiting nurse pnnected exclusively with the sta- jon was secured and many mothers ere instructed in the care of their abies. Last year the station was bntinued with success, and this year the present time, after it has been operation only four weeks, forty- ght babies are being fed. In only one way is this charity Inique. It is similar in all particus rs to free milk stations in many her cities, but it is the only pub- attempt made by any of the cit- ms of New Britain to help that portant and numerous portion of r inhabitants, the little babies. her cities have free dispensaries for e use of mothers of babies; other ties have baby hospitals; but New itain has neither. Therefore those terested say that it is fitting that 1 people who believe in better and ronger babies should support the i1k station. EN.

Were Used on Panama Canal and Cost $3,000,000, New York, July 23.—James G. Crajg, who has been travelling en- gineer for the Panama Canal and the government owned Panama railroad for ten years has sailed for Colon by the United Fruit steamship Zacapa wondering what the railroad was go- ing to do with $3,000,000 worth of old locomotives after the opening of the canal. He said that -doubtless some of them might be used on the government controlled railroad in Alaska, but most of them would be elephants on the government’s hands. Mr. Chaig said the most interesting relic of the building of the canal was the farm for unskilled workmen called “silver labor” in contradistinc- tion to ‘gold,” or skilled labor, at the Isthmus., There are now 100 men on this tropfcal farm who earn their own living and can feed as high as the most luxurious diners in Manhat- tan. Nearly all the farmers were crippled. Some had lost an arm and some a leg and others were incapaci- tated for hard work. The farin grows bananas, oranges, cocoanuts and other tropical products and has a lot of cows, chickens, ducks and pigs. It is run under the direc- tion of Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. Mason, who succeeded General Gor- gas as head of the health department of the Canal Zone. Mr. Craig said the farmers would make a life job of it under the care of Uncle Sam. COSTIGAN FOR GOVERNOR.

Hadley, James H. Hustis, Edwin N. Sanderson, Francis Blossom, Seton Porter, H. Hobart Porter, Richmond Talbot, Wynn Merdith. New Haven's Big Hand. The brief declares that the New Haven has in twenty years spread its hand over all New England so that it ‘has an illegal monopoly of practi- cally all the steam, trolley and steam- ship transportation avenues that pen- etrate that section. It charges that in this period the New Haven has ac- quired control of nine of its ten rail- roads, twenty-two of the thirty boat lines and almost all of the trolleys in New England. It avers that the defendant controls 6,541 miles of main line railroad with passenger and freight earnings of $121,069,411 out of a total steam rail mileage of 8,233 with earnings of $130,389,195 and that of the 1,692 miles not under its con- trol only 411 miles are in compe- tition with the New Haven. The rail lines, it says, earn about ninety-one per cent. of the gross freight revenue and about ninety-flve per cent. of the gross passenger revenues of all New England railroads. Through its boat lines, the bill says, the New Haven controls about eighty-five per cent. of the water transportation of New England and the lines it does not con- trol are declared to be unimportant. Of 1,625 miles of trolleys in this sec- tion, the bill says, the New Haven con- having 91 per cent. of the mileage and traf- fic. Used Elusive Me€thods. According to the bill, from this con- trol by one system there has resulted: Unreasonable delay in delivering freight, the use of inferior and un- safe rolling stock, the lack of proper signal systems and safety devices; the destruction of the autonomy in rate making of the units now combined, the suppression of competition among these units, the diversion of freight traffic to the New Haven company, an effort to increase freight rates and dilatory and arbitrary methods in dealing with patrons. In perfecting its hold on New Eng- land, the bill says, the New Haven has made use of complicated and elusive methods to conceal the real nature of {its efforts to create a monopoly, has acquired control and purchased competitors, has resorted to illegal practices to impoverish rival lines and thus acquire them itself. The bill asks for specific relief from this condition and prays the court to order the sale to persons not stockholders, agents or otherwise connected with the New Haven of all its interests in the Boston and Maine Railroad company, in the Rutland Ralilroad company, in the New Eng- land Rallroad company and in all the wharves and water terminals ac- quired by it, and asks for a perma- nent injunction to prevent their re- turn to New Haven control. It also asks for an order directing the can- cellation of a joint lease between the New Haven and the New York Cen- tral Railroad by which the profits of operating the Boston & Albany road are shared. This lease, the New Haven declared months ago it had cancelled, and if the court finds this action to have been taken it will not be necessary to press for this order. The bill includes also the customary prayer for ‘“general relief” by which the court is requested to take any steps it deems necessary to restore competition to New England. The bill has been under prepara- tion by the department of justice for nearly a year. It is an exhaustive analysis of the rise of the New Haven system covering more than 100 printed pages. It is accompanied by a series of maps designed to show the com- petition which existed in New Eng- land in 1893 and the lack of competi- tion now. According to these maps, in 1893 there were scores of towns in New England served by more than one transportation system, where now there are hardly more than a dozen such towns, many of which are small and practically all of them on the lines of Grank Trunk and the Ver- mont Central which the New Haven, the brief says, often has tried to ac- quire. Development of Transportation, A feature of the bill is its history of the development of transportation in New ©England up to and beyond the point where the New Haven is declared to have reached out to seize it all. The brief contains what purports to be a copy of an agreement made on March 6, 1893, at the home of the late 7I. Plérpont Morgan in New York be- tween representatives of the New Ha- ven and the Boston and Maine Rail- road, then the two dominant factors in New England transportation. By that agreement, subsequently ap- proved by the directors of both roads, the Boston and Maine agreed to keep out of the territory south of the Boston and Albany Railroad which runs across the center of Massachu- setts, but to approve the acquisition of lines in that territory by the New Haven. The New Haven in turn agreed to keep out of territory north of the Boston and Albany, but to ap- prove the acquisition of any lines there by the Boston and Maine. That agreement, as the bill shows was nev- er terminated, but subsequently the New Haven, after seelng the Bostdn and Maine acquire the northern lines, in turn took over the Boston and Maine, and had no competitor in the field save the Vermont Central and Grand Trunk, which touch a few of the many towns and villages in New England. The bill points to the great indus- tries in New England, whose pro- ducts g2 to every part of the na- tion, and shows that relief from the I Main Entrance to Palace of Machinery At Panama-Pacific International Exposition Copyright, 1814, by Panama-Pacific Int alleged transportation monopoiy which handles the products of these industries is of importance to every section of the country. Directors Won't Talk. New Haven, July 23.—Directors of the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad company 4who are named as among defendants in the government’s civil suit to bring about a dissolution of the system, today, when apprised of the entry of the suit and the bill of particulars de- clining to be quoted, did say that it was likely that the cases would go di- rect to the supreme court upon an agreed statement of facts, for a deci- sion on constitutional questions in- volved. FOUR PERSONS DEAD, RESULT OF TROLLEY CRASH AT WESTPORT (Continued from First Page.) when it took the bad curve at Nash's cerner. The express car also was run- ning fast as its crew expected to make the switch at the Country club, | having as they supposed a clear track to that point. It was said that owing to the heavy traffic on the line at that hour the signal light which Nadin | turned at the switch did not flash, through insufficient current. This is one of the conditions which the coroner will inquire into. Scenes of Anguish, After the crash it was found that Nadin escaped with a broken leg, although he was in the midst of the wreckage, while his conductor, Sidney Cook had only a shaking up. Motor- man Frank Raymond and Messenger George East of the express car were slightly hurt, East going to the Nor- walk hospital. He left there today. Scenes of anguish and excitement followed the wreck but ready hands quickly cared for those who could be moved, and inside of two hours the scenes shifted to the hospitals in Bridgeport and Norwalk whither the irjured had been taken From the hospitals word was given that all the injured are comfortable. Those who could be sent home were disposed of, while others recovering from the first shock left of their own accord. Pending the inquiry by the coroner the responsibility for the accident will not be placed. Arrests Made. Early this afternoon Chief of Po- lice William R. Pennington of South this morning Norwalk, detailed Special Officer Richard H. Moore to remain at the home of Frank H. Raymond on East avenue, motorman of the express trol- ley, and Special Officer Frazer has been ordered to remain on duty at the home of George East, donductor. The hospital authorities have been notified that Harold Nadin, motor- man, is under arrest. State Police- man Frank Verlelll locked up Con- ductor Sidney Cook in default of a $2,000 bond. Cook refused to make a statément concerning the accident until he receives permission from the trolley authorities. MILWAU Manufacturers Running Sixty-five Kighty Per Cent. of Capacity.

ATTITUDE MENACING FACTOR Efurs Beng M 1o Regaiche Him and Carranza. Washington, July 23.—While many obstructions still appeared to bar the way to peace in Mexico, yet des-| patches today from headquarters | | both constitutionalists and federals expressed views that the end of fight- ing was almost in sight. The most | menacing factor in the equation, it was said, was the attitude of Villa to- ward Carranza. Consular Agent Carothers accompanied Villa to west- ern Chihuahua, where he was to at- tempt to impress upon the general the necessity for co-operation among the revolutionary leaders, Joihn R. Silliman, personal representative of President Wilson, was with Carranza, performing a similar office Dispatches from Mexico y early today told of the announcement by General Iturbide, governe: of = the federal district, that an armistice had been signed between the federals and constitutionalists and that peace nego- tiations would be advanced upon a basis “giving full guarantees to every- body. The constitutionalist repre- sentatives here interpreted the state- ment concerning safety guarantees as meaning that amnesty would be pro- claimed for the deserving., Carranza, they contended, was disinclined to grant amnesty to political offenders. Realizing that there could be a| peaceful and speedy transition of power if the constitutionalists gave proper guarantees, administration of- ficials today directed their efforts to- ward having such terms put into ef- fect, Treasury agents along the - Rio Grande had orders today to take pre- cautions against the smuggling of war munitions across the border., Admin- istration officials were determined that there be no accumulation of am- munition that might be used in a counter revolution, Carranza For Leniency.

The gravity of the sit- uation was increased by refusal of the warring tactions in Haiti to cease fighting; aespite the American gov- ernment's warnings, and failure to settle the Dominican revolution by diplomacy. The question in would of a possible move- ment of marines into Haiti was up at today's conference between cretaries Bryan and Dan- fels. With the four hundred mar- ines who are to sail from Norfolk, Va., for Guantanamo Saturday the number of marines now there or on American warships in Haitian and Dominican waters would be increased to more than 900, If necessary, re- inforcements could be drawn from the nearly 4,000 marines now in Vera Cruz and Mexican waters. Captain Eberle of the cruiser Wash- ington at Puerta Plata, San Domingo, in a dispatch to the navy, depart- ment early today reported that the lighthouse there had been damaged by rific firing between the revolu- tionary factions. it could not, he added, be repaired until receipt of new supplies. He also reported that food conditions, which threatened to drive the rebels from their stronghold at Puerta Plata, had improved by the arrival of fresh supplies. BerlM_ews.
