BROKE STEAMBOATS | Saving Babies is TOEND GOMPETITION Government Presents Evidence to That Effect at New Haven Trial New York, Oct. 30.—Following tes- timony as to the methods of the New Haven in absorbing rival railroads and- smothering competition from lo- cal electrical lines, the government attorneys in the trial of former New directors began yesterday to introduce matter showing how, as contend, the monopoly ‘of ail kngland transportation facilities Haven they New was completed by the acquisition of competing steamboat lines and the destruction of some of their boats. Charles S. Mellen, former presi- dent of the New Haven, was excused temporarily as the government's wit- ness. Began in 1900, From the railroad archives Frank M. Swacker, of government counsel, continued to read into the record fur- ther letters from John H. Hall. The steamboat buying activities began in 1900, when Mr. Hall had been elevat- ed to the office of president of the New Haven. Minutes of the standing committee of the board of directors were read showing the authorization of the purchase of the Steamboat company for the purpose of its physicial destruction. Further minutes were read showing that after it had been bought, the agansett Day line, of the com- pany, had been discontinued and a resolution passed providing for the sale or breaking up of its steamboats, the Providence, the Narragansett an: the Continental, “to insure that they should not be used further for steam- boat purposes.” Destruction of Boats Ordered. A later letter from Mr. Hall to the pier superintendent was read, con- taining orders to him to carry sut this work of destroying the three boats. During these years, according to the prosecution, the efforts to crush electric traction competition contin- ued. A letter dated February 15, 1899, from Mr. Hall to Edward D. Robbins, of counsel for the New Ha- ven, one of the present defendants read: “I notice by the papers that the Fair Haven & Westville railroad com- pany have one or two or more bills in, copies of which have not been for- warded me.

The case has been to the Supreme Court once and I guess is on its way there a sec- ond time. Henry Stoddard, of New Haven, is representing us in thé: case. ‘““We desire that nothing shall be got through the legislature in any way interfering with our rights in this | matter or confirming their rights un- | der the New Haven street railway, or giving them any rights whatever in our litigation with them; and I de- sire to call your espécial attention to the necessity of watching the Fair Haven & Westville company in legls- lative matters and would like to get New Haven | Work Of Society in Convention The conservation of the lives of the babies of the nation is the purpose of the American Society for the Study and Prevention of Infant Mortality, meeting in Philadelphia, November 10-12.

Not to Be Caught Napping.| “This matter is very important, and it would be well to watch gen- eral legislation as well as special mat- ters asked for by that they will attempt in some sly way to accomplish their fiendish designs, and we do not'wish to be caught | napping.” Two years later Mr. Hall wrote an- other letter which was put in evi- dence showing his faith in the legis- lature as an adjunct to practical raii- road operation, He wrote to William D. Bishop in regard to a drawbridge benefit desired for the company, say- ing: Secley Against Road. “ I have heard from several quar- ters that Mr. Seeley is against us in this proposition as well as everything else. I've been told that his sympathies are with the Connecticut Western in this matter. Of course, I may be mistaken. Before his election he told me we need have no fear of him in any of our matters and we should find that he would not do anything against the interests of the New Ha- ven.

Robinson sug- gests a strong speech before the committee considering the matter. Morgan’s Name Mentioned. J. Pierpont Morgan's name was again brought in by letters from Charles P. Clark when he was the New Haven president in 1894, regard- ing a proposed competing line of the Ridgefield & New York railroad. which were read. Clark suggested to Morgan that he could get control of the line for a $25,000 loan. A later letter indicates that he had per- suaded Mr. Morgan to help what prov- ed to be something of a tartar, for he wrote: .“T find that Higgins, the promotor of the Ridgefield-New York line, pro- poses to build an electric line in com- petition with u As I understand you made the loan for the purpose of serving the New Haven company, you can best serve our interests by calling the loan.” Goodrich on Stand. The testimony from documents of the past, written mostly by men now dead, was varied yesterday by testi- mony from a living witness. He was Charles C. Goodrich, of Hartford, manager of the Hartford and New York Transportation company, a steamboat line originally in sharp competition with the New Haven. That was back in the 80's, Mr. Goodrich testified that an agreement was made with the New Haven to make rates in harmony and to divide the traffic. One clause agreed that if the income was in excess of the amount of the year be- fore the agreement, the winter sea- | son was to be cut down. He said that before this agreement his company was going out after new business, but curtailed these efforts after the agreement. Lived up to Agreement. The agreement was abrogated, he said, when the interstate commerce laws prohibited arrangements em- | bodied in it, but he said that his line and the New Haven nevertheless con- tinued to live up to it practically in its entirety. In 1905 a man named Dunbar began to negotiate for the purchase of the steamboat line, he | sald, ostensibly representing only himself, but the New Haven proved to be the purchaser at the price Dun- bar fixed- He at first had supposed Dunbar was representing Charles W. Morse, “who was buying up all coastwise companies at that period.” H During the session of court yester- day Henry W. Taft, brother of ex- President Taft, called on Judge Hunt, and a short recess was taken. It was supposed his visit had to do with the expected calling of Mr. Taft as a , witnress. i An adjournment of the case was jtaken untll Wednesday. The court | gave a hint to the government attor- n to get their mass of documen- | tary evidence in such shape during | the interval that it could be put in more succinetly and expeditiously. i | ALL-NATIONALS SOCORE VIOTORY.
