He categoricaliy denied that when joined the New Haven board he had “any knowledge cf any plan or con- spiracy on the part of the board or its prede.vssors 1o monopolize com- merce,” at “anything was said or done by any offi~cr or Qirector to give I acy existed.” that he '"consciously took part in any conspiracy, that he was ever “influenced by any desire to monopolire commerce,” and that hie was ‘“‘conscious at any time of viola- ting the laws of the United States.” “No, never; I never did,” were Mr: Ledyard’s emphatic rcplies to the questions put to him on the subject by his counsel, Delancey Nicoll. Under. Cross-£xamination. The witness vas then placed under cross-examination by Frank M- Swacker, of counsel for the govern- ment, Mr, Swacker questioned him on his part in tl.e negcliaiions for the sale of Boston and Mune siock to the New Haven and asked if it were not true that his study of tne application of United Stites supren:e court decisions to the sale was after he had completed his airange.ients to sell the stock and to become a member of the New Haven board. % Subject at Later Date. “Passengers say that a Dutch steamer and a Greek steamer were in sight just previous to the torpedoing and, therefore, they believe that one f them sheltered the submarine. The amers disappeared after the tor- redoing. Circled Around Survivors. The submarine, according to the < accounts of these passengers, Tre- mained on the scene until the tor- pedoed vessel sank and then circle around the lifeboats, calling in a jeer- ing manner: ‘There’s a British seamer behind vou; she will pick you up.’ “ “Two hours later the steamer IMeroc picked up the survivors and brought them to Malta, although she had insufficient food and accommo- dations for 238 extra passengers. ‘““Among the lost were six first class v and twenty-nine steerage passengers, including some Sengalese and twenty- two white and twenty-three Lascar members of the crew. “One survivor relates that the sub- marine picked up two persons strug- gling in the water and placed them on a raft.” PROVIDENCE EDITOR ~ ANSWERS BOY-ED Claims Oficial Standing Kept Captain Out of Prison Providence, R. I, Dec. 29—The “Providence Journal” yesterday sent e long wireless dispatch to Captain Karl Boy-Ed on the steamship Rot- - terdam. “Your farewell statement to the American people, insofar as it relates to the ‘Providence Journal,” the message said, “is a wilful and de- liberate falsehood. Has the ‘Provi- dence Journal’ created a hysterical suspicion concerning the destruction of American factories, the murder of American workmen, or the daily plots against the peace and safety of this govkrnment and its citizens, almost all of which acts have been fathered and financed from your own office? Every word of what the ‘Journal’ has published with regard to your personal connection with these plots “has been true, and nobody knows it better than yourself.” The message reverts to its charges that: Captain Boy-Ed wrote the warn- ing to American citizens not to take passage on the Lusitania, to attempts it asserts he made to embroil the United States with Great Britain with false affidavits regarding shipments of suppli to naval vessels, and to the so-Called “Huerta plot.” The news- paper declares also that an attempt ‘was made to “bribe it into silence” hy “the offer of a large sum of money for the formation of a press bureau.” ’l;he message ends with this declara- tion:— i “You know well the reason why the TUnited States government refused to permit you to remain any longer in thi¥ country. These reasons were not based on ‘hysterical rumors’ printed by the ‘Providence Journal.’ “Your attempt this morning make the American people believe such a ridiculous falsehood, is your farewell insult to a government and a press that have treated you with unexampled patience in the face of evidence which, had it not been for the protection given vou by your official standing. would have long ago Plaged vou behind prison bars” to MONGOLIA IN NEW YORK. New York, Dec. 29—The steamship Mongolia, one of the four big cargo carriers purchased from the Pacifie JMail Steamship company to be oper- & under the American flag by the itlantic Transport line, arrived in York today after a vovage from n Erancisco around Cape Horn. “Oh, I could not say that, ” replied Ledyard. “I was familiar with the Northern Secubitics case” He con- ceded that the subject came up more particularly at a later date. “In reference to the legality of the Boston and Maine z.cquisition, I ask you,” said Mr. Swacker, “if you didn’t have a conversation with Richard Olney in which you said it was “A a | fair chance to take,” “I did not in any shape or form, di- rect or inlirect,” replied the witness.

Elks Make Preparations for Happy Party on Passing of 1915, The advent of 1915 ‘was a festive occasion with the New Britain lodge of Elks, when the first annual cabaret was held. In order not to slight the birth of 1916 the house committee of the lodge has made plans to hold a similar event this year, while, profiting by the exper- ience gained last year, promises to far eclipse 1915’s undertaking. Special talent from New - York, Bridgeport and members of the bur- lesque troupe performing at the Gregd theatér, Hartford, this week, have been secured to give the en- tertainment. The committee has ar- ranged so that the affair will com- mence about 10:30 o'clock, when the first course will be served. Durgus the courses the cabaret pegormer: will give their acts and by the time the midnight bells toll off the greet- ing to the new year, the first dishes of the pride of Vermont will make their appearance. The committee has secured a number of fine birds COURRAN FOR CAPTAIN. Popular Tackle at High School Is Be- ing Mentioned As Choice. When school convenes again next week the High school football team will have its picture taken and will then meet to elect a captain for next vear. According to the talk among the undergraduates and players Sid- { ney Curran, right tackle on this vear’s eleven, is the likely choice.

This truck is a hook and lad- | der apparatus and answers all alarms. i It is a valuable piece of fire fighting | apparatus. In looking at the reports from oth- er cities about the country of the same size as New Britain it is seen that the first loss here is unusually | low and much praise is therefore due the efficient fire department.

N. Ru- therford will total close to a million and a half dollars. Of this amount $825,350 is represented by brick structures and $24,670 by additions and alterations. The grand total is $1,480,785, which goes to prove that the Hardware City is forging ahead as_ever. Permits of all kinds totaled 5 Brick structures, including factor: buildings, numbered 92 and there were 281 frame buildings erected. For repairs, alterations and additions 252 permits were taken out. During the vear 45 new stores have been opened and 570 tenements have been added to the city’s total. The present month has been the poorest in the year for building op- erations. One only permit for a brick structure has been taken out, valued at $600. Permits have been issued for seven frame buildings at a cost of $9,115 and alterations and repairs fisure $12,350, which is the heaviest item in this column. January and February were light months for building operations, but in March business began to boom and the ordinance forbidding frame build- ings to house more than three fami- lies went into effect. As a result per- mits for brick structures called for an expenditure of $306,000 and frame buildings $94.425. . Business fell off again in April, but in May they to- taled $112,600 and in June $263,655. Tn August they amounted to $94,865, in October $124,725 and November $193,550. PROBING DEATHS OF CHILDREN.

They are the first of their race te take this test, although nearly 2,- 000 men of other nationalties have al- ready been granted certificates. Decided Upon By Members of British Cabinet London, Dec. 29, 1:30 a. m.—It is stated on excellent authority that the cabinet has virtually decided upon a modified form of conscription bill, to be introduced in the House of Com- mons next week, giving the govern- ment the necessary power, should it be found needful, to bring in single men and preserve Premier Asquith’s pledge to married men. With the reopening of Parliament only a week distant, there was another protracted session of the British cab- inet today. It is said that no final decision is likely until after several further meetings of the premier and his advisers. Crowds Assemble. Sensational press revorts of the cab- inet situation aroused such an unusual public interest in today’s assembling that the police were forced repeatedly to clear Downing street of the crowds. In the absence of any official state- me_nls ".. is difficult to say exactly how serious is the present situation of the ca.bmet, The members certainly main- tain the appearance of outward calm, which would hint that the difficulty is more a matter of decided on methods and details than a radical difference on basic principles. The press has again divided itself into two groups which may most readily be defined in the American phrase as “for” and ‘‘against” the government. The latter group insists that the cabinet is hopelessly divided and must surely split on the situation created by the results of the Derby scheme, while the former group de- clares that the alleged crisis is largely the product of excited agitation led by the Northcliffe press, and that such differences as exist in the cabinet are still capable of being merged into a common policy, if the task is not made impossible by outside agitators. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle ground between these two views. It is admitted that diffi- culties have arisen in connection with the Derby figures—that in certain parts of the country single men have not enrolled in such numbers as would warrant an impartial tribunal in de- claring that only a negligible percent- TOTAL $1,480,783, CONSCRIPTION BILL Ry I313 MOHICAjN MAR} THURSDAY AND FRID FRI'SH BOSTON BLUE FISH LARGE CAPE BUTTER FISH _ LARGE FRESH MACKEREN .

Asquith’s Pledge. Premier Asquith’s pledge; as stated specifically in an open letter to Earl Derby, stands good, and the cabinet is agrecd it must be fulfilled in the letter and the spirit. For the govern- ment knows full well that the pre- mier’s unequivocai pledge to the mar- ried men was the sole reason for the wholesale response of the married men. Up to the moment of that dec- laration, the married men held back, but as scon as Mr. Asquith’s pledge was given ,they stepped forward in numbers which were a surprise even to Lord Derby. Intermediate Step. There is a considerable body opinion which believes that the has not vet arrived to go to the treme length of putting wholesale compulsion into effect. This opinion feels that some intermediate step is vet possible; that the Derby scheme has only fallen slightly short and that perhaps a recanvas or another appeal might bring in a considerable part of the unmarried slackers, The “Manchester Guardian” asserts that Lord Derby's canvass was done so hurriedly that at least 100,000 unmar- ried men were never invited to enroll. Moreover, it is maintained that there is necessarily enormons difficulty in analyzing the Derby figures and a con- siderable part of the slow-moving English public opinion revolts at jumping hastily at conclusions, which would mean a change in the organic law of the country. Opinion of Press. The supporters of the voluntary sys- tem are emphatic in declining to abandon it until some means have been taken td insure that the Derby scheme cannot be made a success. The morning newspapers long ago lined themselves up on the present issue, but the evening newspapers have tak- en a more detached view, and their opinion therefore is more interesting. The following extracts are characteris- tie: The “Pall Mall Gazette” says: “The utmost confidence is still felt that the cabinet will meet parliament again as a united body, with a plan that will meet the imperative needs of the sit- uation and at the same time dispose of the demand for a general election un- til after the war.” The “Westminster Gazette’ says: “The task of patroitism at this mo- ment is to keep silence or, at least, to say nothing that can embarras and hamper the government.” The “Star” says: “The crisis which has arisen over the Asquith pledge is purely factitious. It is the work of in- triguers, who for months have used every imaginabie weapon to break up the unity of the government. The will of the country, however, beyond ques- tion is that the ministers should sink prejudices and ambitions and preserve national unity. The Asquith pledge can be kept without spiitting the govern- ment and the nation.” The “Evening Standard” says: “Premier Asquith cannot Le acquitted of all responsibility for embarrassing the situation.
