Mr. Elton said that up to two years ago there on had been no question of the earnings being sufficient, but that two years ago, was found, not enough had been earned to meet the dividend." "A suggestion was made," continued Mr.

Elton, "that we from the surplus, but it was finally decided instead pay, to cut the dividend from eight to six per cent." Could Not Recall $375,000 Loan to Mellen. Mr. Elton said he recalled no loan of $375,000, made 10 Mr. Mellen by the New England Navigation Company. "What do you k110 of campaign contributions made by Mr.

Mellen?" "I remember that at one meeting the opinion was expressed that there was to be no more of that sort of thing." "Was the New Haven not operated as an adjunct to Wall street, as a speculative enterprise?" No. I believe Mr. Morgan's heart and soul was in the New Haven, and I do not think Wall street had anything to do with it." "What is the difference between the present conduct of affairs as compared with the former method?" "Well, the directors have learned a great deal. They are not taking one man's word. Then the head of the road is a very different man.

Mr. Mellen's ambition ran away with him. Mr. Elliott is a much more deliberate man than Mr. Mellen.

He doesn't go with such a rush. He doesn't carry of the board off their feet." members Says the Directors Now Direct. Elton believed that formerly the Mr. depended too much on Mr. directors Morgan and Mr.

Mellen and added: "The directors now direct." "Do you regard the control by one Mr. Morgan controlled the man, as Haven, as a bad thing for the New public?" "Yes, I do." "Your eyes have been opened as to that, have they?" "They "Were you present at the meeting which Mr. Mellen, the time he at retired from the presidency of the New voted $30,000 a year for Haven, was five years?" "Yes, the motion was made; I do not recall by whom, it went through. I believe this action was taken largely as the result of a feeling of sympathy for Mr. Mellen.

Almost immediately the directors regretted the they had taken, and at the next stand meeting the vote was rescinded." "Did you not know that you were voting away other people's money?" "Yes; I think we realized what we had done after we took the vote." William Nelson Cromwell, who appeared as counsel for William Skinner and other directors, asked Mr. Elton a number of questions tending to show that the acquisition of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroad was or would be of great assistance to the New Haven in the way of improving its terminal facilities in New York. Mr. Elton said this matter had been discussed for several years by the New Haven board "Then the Westchester transaction was one of policy: something that was necessary to strengthen the New Haven system and help solve the great problem of terminal facilities at New York, WAS it not?" asked Cromwell. "'You were buying looking to the future in this transaction?" "Yes: it was not scheme, but a matter of policy." An adjournment then was taken until later today.

JUST COULDN'T KEEP JOHN OUT OF SCHOOL Orphan Promised Mother on Deathbet He Would Keep at Studies and He Did. LIVED IN VACANT HOUSE. 12-Year-Old John McGeeney Regularly to Mass and Con, fession, Too. Thirteen-year-old John McGeeney is going to be a great man some day. At least he has made up his mind that he is and he has the will power by which great men are made.

John promised his mother on her deathbed that would attend school regularly. And has kept his word. In order to carry out his mother's last wish John has been living for three weeks alone in an empty house John McGreeney, Twelve-year-old Boy, Who Made, Many Sacrifices to Obey Promise Mother. at 18 Cole street, Erie Basin. When his Mrs.

Hannah Donovan of 120 Summit street, with whom he went to live after death of his mother, it is alleged, placed obstacles in the way, John promptly ran away and kept on going to school. Three youthful comrades of the boy aided him. They found a place for him to sleep in the empty house and they saw to it that he did go hungry. But John was not contnt with merely going to school. He attended mass regularly at the Church of the Visitation on Richard street and he fulfilled his other religious obligations by going to confession.

When the boy's eyesight failed and it became necessary for him to wear glasses the story came out. The principal, Miss Anna A. Eason, of publie school No. 142 at Henry and Rapalyea streets sought to notify John's aunt that his eyes needed attention. She found that he was no longer living at the aunt's home.

Detective Furgerson of the Hamilton avenue station was notified and John was brought to the Children's Society, by whom his story is to be investigated. Not only did John make sure of going to school, but he made great headway with his lessons and was regarded as one of the brightest pupils in the school. It was overstudy that caused his eyes to fail. The boy's father died when he was 4 years old, leaving three children, Joseph, Grace and John. The mother struggled along as well as she could, but was forced at last to place the two elder children, Joseph, who is now 18 years old, and Grace, who is now 11 years old, in institutions.

Joseph was placed in St. John's Orphan Home, where he speedily became the leader of the military band. Last year he was discharged from the home and is now an instructor in a village military band in Port Jefferson, L. where, at last reports, it is said that he is getting along finely. The girl, Grace, is now an inmate of St.

Joseph's Home, Sumner avenue and Willoughby street. Tears welled up in John's eyes when he told his story today. He said that he had tried always to keep the promise he had made to his mother to go to school and become something worth while, and that the only time that he had missed was one week, when his aunt kept him home to do some work in the house. As soon as John disappeared from his aunt's home, he hunted up a number of his companions who had been members of the All Brooklyn Baseball Juniors, a baseball team composed of small boys of the Erie Basin section. Henry Walsh, 13 years old, whose father owns a house at 18 Coles street.

for $225,000 damages for alleged breach of promise to marry her, brought by Miss Mae A. Sullivan, 20 years old, against Arthur I. Hoe, millionaire son of Robert Hoe, the deceased founder of the great printing press manufacturing establishment of R. Hoe and Company, was sent to the jury at 12:45 today. The case had been on trial since a week ago Monday before Justice Gavegan and a jury in the Supreme Court.

An open clash between Justice Gavegan and Mirabeau L. Towns counsel for Miss Sullivan, was narrowly averted when Towns twice interrupted the Justice, during the charge of the court to the jury. Towns had interrupted Justice Gavegan as to certain points of the evidence, which the justice was explaining to the jury. Towns told Justice Gavegan that there was no' such evidence as the justiec stated. not only request you not to interrupt the Court, but directo you not to do so," said Justice Gavegan.

The justice then declared further that it was unfortunate that Miss Sullivan's lawyer should interrupt the train of thought to the Court because the jury would thus be deprived of the assistance of the Court in clarifying the parts of the case that the jury must consider. The Justice then started to say: "The jury may consider it posible that Miss Sullivan learned how easy. it was to get money from the defendant You may consider whether plaintiff chose to get money that way rather than earn it." At this point Attorney Towns, counsel for Mis Sulivan, objected to the Justice charging the jury. Justice Gavegan then told Mr. Towns to be quiet and that his remarks were made for the purpose of disturbing the chain of thought of the Justice.

Towns fought back with the answer: have no such intention. I have no such intention." Justice Gavegan continued and charged the jury that it could be considered by the twelve men whether it was probable that a man of Hoe's wealth and station in life would make a proposal of mariage to a girl like Miss Sullivan in a public place. The Justice then declared that the evidence showed Miss Sullivan to have been carefuly brought up of respectable parentage surrounded by good influences and told the jury to consider wether such a girl would accept the offer of marriage from a man whom she had not investigated. The Justice told the jury that a verdict for Hoe would be a certificate of. chastity for Miss Sullivan.

The justice also said to the jury: "You may consider what was in Miss Sullivan's mind. Consider the crew by which she was best the financial dimculties and pressure under which she was burdened, the loss of her parents and her, estrangement from her living OBITUARY. James R. M. Bunn.

FITZGERALD EXPLAINS VOTE Supported Labor Amendment Because Wilson Wanted It. Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 3-The Brooklyn members Congress who are known to have voted for the labor exemption clause in the Cyalton anti-trust bill now before the House were Representatives Fitzgerald and Maher.

Other representatives from Brooklyn were not present when the vote was taken, but it is understood nearly all of them will be before the end of the week, when a fianl vote on the bill is expected. Concerning his vote, Mr. Fitzgerald said today: "I voted for it because it was the committee amendment and because it represents the views of the Administration." Mr. Maher said today: am in favor of the amendment and did all I could to have it incorporated in the bill. I shal vote for it on the floor of the House when the bill comes up for passage." Mr.

Maher's reasons for supporting the labor exemption those of all union labor men, he being a member of a union. The main reason for the votes is the desire of members who may be running for re-election this fall not to appear to antagonize union labor interests. Many members, however, acquiesced because they do not believe the amendment in its present form gives to union labor the exemption it desires. It is generally agreed that a court decision will be necessary to interpret it. The labor interests reit as a gain, yet not what they really' wanted.

Interest allowed on deposits MEDIATORS SILENT ON CARRANZA ISSUE Zubaran Waits for Message. Ready to Send in Code to Chief. ARMISTICE NOT LOOKED FOR. Constitutionalists Expected to Continue Campaign Until Mexican Pacification Is a Fact. Washington, June 3-The note of the mediators dealing with the question of Constitutionalist representation at the Niagara conference, had not been received today at Constitutionalist headquarters here.

Rafael Zubaran, General Carranza's representative, prepared to put it in code and, dispatch it immediately upon arrival to the Constitutionalist chief, by whom alone the answers to the suggestion for an armistice can be given. No statement regarding its contents will probably be issued until the message is in Geenral Carranza's hands, since, though technically addressed to Mr. Zubaran, the communication is regarded as a matter with which Carranza and his advisers in Mexico should deal personally. While Mr. Zubaran was, therefore.

unwilling to discuss the proposals reembodied in the message, Constitutionalists here did not hesitate to express as their personal view that General Carranza would not consent to an armistice nor to discuss the Internal affairs of Mexico as an independent question. The question arising from the American occupation of Vera Cruz they admit would undoubtedly bring in the question of the establishment of a stable government and the political pacification 02 Mexico as conditions to any retirement of the United States from Mexico and their delegates to the conference, they declare, will be justified in continuing the discussions until the terms of evacuation were definitely laid down. Then, it is held, the Constitutionalists should go ahead military campaign until such conditions are established and when this is done their representatives, will have a definite basis on which to deal with the United States.

Broc R. Shears, one-time president of the defunct Borough Bank of Brooklyn, three months a prisoner on Blackwell's Island on his conviction for grand larceny, and released from jail last March, has been given a full and compiete pardon, with the restoration of all his rights of citizenship. The pardon of Governor Glynn was given to him on May 21, after many of his friends had worked for months with the board of Pardons on the ground that the former bank president had been made a "goat."

He has been with the concern for some weeks through the warm regard in which he is held by scores of his Brooklyn friends, and they are firm believers in him.

He was unable, however, to identify the defendant, Dunn, as the man shot his employer, saying he was too frightened by the events of the morning to have any clear and distinct recollection of the appearance of the gunman. The witness bore up well under the cross examination of Edward Reilly.

the defendant's counsed, and persisted in his statement that Bassibosis dropped the bread knife he had been using at the entrance of the gunman and had not stepped forward in a threatening manner, as the defense tried to prove.

The Board of Aldermen yesterday afternoon debated an ordinance fixing a license of $1 for keeping a revolver in the house, and after considerable argument the ordinance was left unpassed until the next meeting. pa Vice Chairman O. Grant Esterbrook, in speaking for the ordinance, said that the need for a revolver in Brooklyn homes was apparent, because, he said, the householder must have something with which to protect himself from burglars.

Mr. Esterbrook said that he would give every householder a revolver free of charge. The welfare committee had recommended a charge of $2,50 for keeping a revolver in the house, and $5 for carrying it: on the street. The argument arose as to lowering the license fee. The vote was 43 to 18, but a two-thirds majority is required to pass it.

It was left on the calendar and will come up next week. 6. 0. P. PRIMARY AUGUST 10 Plan State Convention -Democrats Not Likely to Hold One.

A meetng of the Republican Executive Committee will be held next Monday night at the Johnston Building, for the purpose of discussing plans for the holding of unofficial primaries to elect delegates to an unofficial State convention at Saratoga on August 18, at which the framing of a platform and the selection of the fifteen dates to become delegates to the Constitutional Convention will be considered. These primaries will be held on August 10, at the Republican clubhouses in the various districts. The expenses will come out of the party funds. The balloting will be between the hours of and 9 p.in.
