N. H. DIRECTORS ADHERE TO DEGISION Not to Sell to State of Massachusetts Their Holdings of Boston and Maine Stock. NO REQUEST FOR RECEIVERSHIP CONTEMPLATED Nor Will They Consent to a Receivership—Declare the Com- pany is Solvent, is Earning Fixed Charges, and is Able to Meet Current Obligations Promptly —Committee of Three Appointed to Take Interstate Commerce Com- merce Commission’s Recent Report Under Considera- tion—Billard Did Not Appear at Meeting—No Resigna- tions. New York, July 16—By unanimous vote of the directors of the New York, | New Haven and Hartford Railroad at a special meeting today, decided to stand by their decision not to sell the state of Massachusetts their holdings | of Boston and Maine Railroad stock under the terms imposed by the state. In the language of the official state- ment, “the directors have neither re- ceded from their position nor closed the door to further negotiations. Terms Imposed by Massachusetts. The terms imposed by the state of Massachusetts in connection with the sale of New Haven's Boston and Maine stock contain the provision that each certificate must bear a stipulation on the part of purchaser that he will sell his shares to the state of Massacusetts at_any time named. ¥ The New Haven directors took the ground in a recent official statement that compliance with this condition would render the stock undesirable as & purchase on any fair basis. Denial of Receivership Rumors. Emphatic denial was made of the rumors recently current that applica- | tion for a friendly receivership was | contemplated. On this point the state- ment says: fixed charges, and is able to meet its ~urrent obligations promptly.” President James Hustis, who presid- | ed, at today’s meeting in the absence | of Chairman Howard Elliott, now tak- | ing a vacation, declined to amplify the | formal statement dealing with the Bos- ton and Maine situation. It was in- | ferred, however, that the New Haven firectors ad reopened megotiations | with the department of justice at Washington on this point and that turther extensfon .of time -might be ! es sranted by the federal. Eendln' an adjustment of queés- on. a ; As a matter of fact, Attorney Gen- eral McReynolds gave the New Haven directors until midnight of yesterday to arrive at some agreement regarding the sale of the Boston and Maine stock. This time was extended by the officials at Washington when they learned that a special meeting of the X;w Haven board had been calle dfor today. Important Session. The session of the board was in some | respects the most important since | that at which the resignation of | Charles S. Mellen was accepted and | Mr. Elliott elected as his successor. Among other momentous questions, the board was called to consider the inter- | state commerce commission's recent | scathing denuciation and arraignment for the former management. The only direct reference to this arraign- ment was contained in the bare an- —_—— '‘ALL MENTAL DISEASES DUE TO PHYSICAL CAUSES.” Statement Made WILSON WILL NOT RECOGNIZE CARBAJAL To Continue Watchful Waiting Policy Until Situation Is Clarified. Washington, July 16.—President Wilson will not recognize Provisional President Carbajal nor any other gov- ernment in Mexico not set up through a legal election or in accordance with the protocols signed at Niagara Falls. | Despite the resignation of General Huerta he will continue his watchful waiting policy until the Mexican sit- uaiion is more clarified, The expectation of the administra- tion is that arrangements will be made for the peaceful entry of the constitu- &nallsls into Mexico City in case rranza and his generals finally re- fuse to accept President Carbajal pending the holding of an election. President Wilson believes other na- tions will not recognize any new gov- ernment until the United States has indicated its attitude. For that rea- son he thinks the constitutionalists will be very careful in their procu- dure. The president is understood to have no objection to Carbajal except on the score that he derived his power from Huerta and is willing to accept him if the constitutionalists will agree, as_provision president until elections. White House officials were confident today that the constitutionalists would be temperate in their acts when they enter Mexico City. They believe there is no danger of wholesale killing or Ivoting. . Senor Riano, the Spanish ambassa- dor, called upon Secretary Bryan to- day to make representations for the safety of Spanish citizens in Mexico Cit; He was unable to say whether the Epanish embassy would continue to represent Mexico in the United States under Provisional President Carbajal 30 REPORTED KILLED IN TROLLEY COLLISION With Freight'Train on Virginian Rail- road Near Norfolk, Va.

EX-PRESIDENT HUERTA TO JOIN FAMILY At Puerto Mexico—Train Moving Slowly—Referred to as Officer of Rear Guard. Puerto Mexico, July 16—With his family and others dear to him already out of the zone of possizle danger, ex- President Huerta is moving towards this port tonight in a special train that should land him here early tomorrow morning. The train is moving leisure- ly, making a number of stops and the incident thereby is robbed of much that otherwise might characterize General Huerta's departure from the capital as a flight. Huerta’s friends here point to the manner in which he stood back urging those whom he cared for to leave be- fore him ang refer to him as “the officer. who commands the rear guard movement.” As it appears tonight there will be jlittle tomorrow to bring to mind the departure from Mexico of Porforio Diaz. It was Huerta whom Dia chose to escort him to Vera Cruz from the capital, Huerta to whom the deposed president uttered words which subse- quent developments have made appear prophetic. No one here knows just where and how and when Huerta will say goodbye but the majority believe that his departure will be so unosten- tatious as he can make it. Some of the residents desire to meet the retiring president and for this pur- pose they are talking about orgarizing a reception committee, but federal of- ficers and members of his family doubt ‘whether Huerta will give them the op- portunity on account of his desire not to embarrass any of the friends whom he is leaving. The orders of the Dresden and Bris- tol still place them at the disposition of the exiles, but nothing more definite than this is known. It is understood generally, however, that most of the party, probably the women, will be cared for on the Bristol while General Huerta and Blanquet and perhaps the other men will be taken aboard the German cruiser, CHINESE HERE FOR STUDY OF GOVERNMENTAL FORMS.

About forty photographs of scenes in Middlebury where the Wakefields at one time lived, of their home In Bristol and of the place in the Cheshire woods where Wakefield's body was found were shown by the state. While the photographer whe had taken the pictures was being questioned in de- tail about them, Judge Reed left the bench to get a closer view of the pho- tographs. The jury also showed con- siderable interest in them, one of the jurors asking the photographer a number of questions about them. The day was very warm and as Attorney Devine of counsel for Mras.

Stamford, Conn., July 16.—That the state is,not committed to any partic- ular theory of the death of Waldp R. Ballou, and s not Yet ready to form a conclusion of the manner in which he received the injuries which caused his death after a visit to the apartments of Mrs. Helen M. Angle here, was the substance of a statement issued late today by State's Attorney Homer S. Cumming; It was the first public Statement made by the state’s attorney in connection with the case. It said: Many Important Aspects. “There have been so many asser- tions made concerning the state's the- ory of the Ballou death, that it may not be improper to say that up to the present time the state is not com- mitted to any particular theory and does not expect to formulate one until all the facts have been assembled. There are many important aspects of the matter which require further con- sideration. I have no purpose other than to get at the truth. Coroner Phe- lan is proceeding with thoroughness and cautiond I am taking certain steps, the scope and purpose of which will appear hereafter, No Hasty Conclusion. “I have had too much experience to be led to a hasty conclusion based upon insufficient or ill-considered data. The importance of the case amply justifies the time, labor and thought involved in its careful consideration.” The police have been informed, but upon what authority is not stated, that many of the stains from Mrs, Angle's rooms which have been examined by the coroner's analyst have failed to disclose blood crystals. The expecta- tion here is that the coroner wiil con- clude his inquest next Monday. The belief is also held that Mrs. Angle, Who 1s now held without bail in con- nection with the investigation, may be again admitted to bal MRS. ANGLE HAS NERVOUS COLLAPSE.

Ballou, which occurred the latter part of last month, collapsed In her quarters at the local lockup tomight and is now In such a nervous condition that her physictan, Dr. J. H. Staub, has strongly advised her immediate removal to a sanitarium. Mrs. Angle spent a good part of today with her father, Leonard Blondel, in the office of the chief of police. Early in the even- ing she was taken back to her quarters and her father left for dinner. Later he returned to the lockup and on going to his daughter's quarters, he said, he found her lying on the floor. She ap- parently did not recognize him, and one of her arms bore a mark as if she had bitten it Dr. Staub was called and said she must be placed in a eanitar!. um at once. As this could not be done tonight, a trained nurse was secured to spend the night with her. If her con- dition is not improved by morning, it is expected that arrangements to place her in a sanitarium will be made.
