THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1914. HOTEL RAVEN-HALL ON THE OCEAN ADJOINING STEEPLECHASE PARK CONEY ISLAND REFINED PLACE FOR REFINED PEOPLE TO DINE SEA FOOD COM SPECIALTY AUTO ACCOMMODATIONS SELECT BATHING BEACH freight, the use of inferior and unsafe 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 spppression competition among these units, they diversion of freight traffic to the Haven Company, an effort to increase and dilatory and arbitrary methodalo deal. ing with patrons. In perfecting its hold on England, 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 New Haven of all its interests in the Boston and Maine Railroad Company, in the Rutland Railroad Company, in the New England Railroad Company and in all the wharves and water terminals acquired by it and asks for a permanent injunction to prevent their return to New Haven control. It also asks for an order directing the cancellation of a joint lease between the New Haven and the New York Central Railroad by which the profits of operating a the Boston and Albany road are shared. This lease, the New Haven declared months ago, it had cancelled, and if the court finds this action to have ben taken it will not be necessary to press for this order. The bill includes also the customary rrayer for "general relief" by which the court is requested to take any steps it deems necessary to restore competition to New England. The bill 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 competition which existed in New England in 1893 and the lack of competition now. According these maps, 1898 there were scores towns in New England served by more than one transportation system, where now there are hardly more than a dozen such towns, caly many al of of which them are on the line of the small and practiGrand Trunk and the Vermont Central, which the New Haven, the brief says, often has tried to acquire. 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 be a copy of agreement made on March 6, 1893, at the home of the late J.

Pierpont Morgan in New York between representatives of the New Ilaven and Boston and Maine Railroad, then the two dominant factors in New England transportation. By that agreement, subsequently approved by the directors of both roads, the Boston and Maine agreed to keep out of the territory south of the Boston and AlDany Railroad which runs across the center of Massachusetts, 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 approve the acquisition of any lines there by the Boston and Maine. That agreement, so far as the bill shows, was never terminated, but subsequently the New Haven, after seeing the Boston 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 the Grand Trunk which touch a few of the many towns and villages in New England. The bill points to the great industries in New England whose products go to every part of the nation and shows that relief from the alleged transportation monopoly which handies the products of these industries is of importance to every section of the country.

Agreement at Late J. P. Morgan's Home a Feature of the Bill. A feature of the bill is its history of Methods Employed in Effecting Combination Scored. The bill scores the methods used by the New Haven to perfect its com- bination.

"In accomplishing these results," it says, "elusive, complicated and indi1ect methods have been resorted to in order to conceal the real character of the transactions involved, to destroy the identity of the lines acquired and render their assets and physical properties indistinguishable. Corporations nt many States have been organized or purchased tena used as subsidiaries, among which the properties acquired lave been distributed and redistributed in varying combinations. In some instances steamboat lines have been split up so that their terminal facilities are owned by one corporation and their boats by another. Sometimes the terminal facilities of railroad lines acquired have been conveyed to one company and the rolling stock and railroad tracks to another, and sometimes steamboat and trolley lines have been combined in ownership. In many instances the transactions involving physical properties have been sO interminable and involved that a recital cf all their details would needlessly confuse.

"One of the purposes of resorting to this complicated system has been to intrench the New Haven company in its monopolies and to make it impracticable for the Government to apply remedies and restore original Nevertheless, the control of all properties constituting these monopolies today is vested in either the New Haven company or in some other of the defendants or incorporations controlled by it, or Individuals acting in its behalf." New Haven, July 23-Although directors of the New York, Haven Hartford Railroad Company resident here, and who are named as among defendants in the Government's suit to dissolve the system, declined today to comment at length upon the entry of the suit and the bill of particulars, it was learned that the expectation is that the case will go to the Supreme Court of the United States upon an agreed statement of facts, to have determined certain constitutional questions involved. SAYS KEITH WILL LAND Senate Will Pay No Attention to Charges, Brown Man Is Assured. Riverhead, L. July can take my word for it that Mr. Keith will be confirmed by the Senate--that he will surely land the job as Collector of Internal Revenue for Brooklyn; I have Representative Brown's word for that," said a prominent member of the Brown faction to The Eagle last night.

Eastern Long Island is greatly interested dale the scrap concerning Mr. Keith. 18 well known among pollticians in this section, and the fight is doubly interesting because it is in this county that the hotbed of the fight between Representative Brown control ad Tammany control is located, LOCAL G. O. P.

MAY FLOP TO HINMAN All Hinges on How Calder's Candidacy Can Best Be Advanced. LEADERS ARE EMBARRASSED. Some Districts Have Already Indorsed Whitman for Governor. The Kings County Republican leaderas are marking time on the gubernatorial situation today. Several of them, including County Clerk Charles S.

Devoy, are said to be D. Hinman, whose gubernatorial ason the point of coming out for Harvey pirations were 80 heartily Indorsed yesterday by Colonel Roosevelt. A number of others, including County Chairman A. E. Vass, would like to get on the Hinman band wagon, but are somewhat embarrassed by the action of their district organizations in indorsing the candidacy of District Attorney Whitman.

A number of the others, including Edgar M. Doughty Eighteenth, John T. Rafferty the Twelfth, Marcus Campbell of the Sixteenth, Richard Wright of the Fifteenth, are ready to jump to Hinman if it means added support to Congressman Calder' candidacy for the Senatorial nomination. Calder is the keystone of the situation. All the leaders owe primary legiance to him and they will be guided finally by the turn the HinmanRoosevelt scheme takes with reference to his candidacy.

If Roosevelt comes out for Calder, who, his friends declare, is as much anti-Barnes as Hinman, and the Calderites are shown that by lining up with the Oyster Bay statesman's programme they are improving Calder's chances, it is a ten to one bet that they will throw Whitman overboard. That is the way the situation was summed up today by one of the most influential leaders in the country. He also pointed out that the organization as a whole was in a position to swing either way because they had sidetracked the Whitman indorsement resolution in the executive committee two weeks ago and left the gubernatorial situation open. A number of the leaders, however, including Thomas B. Lineburgh of the Fifth, have tied themselves up individually to the Whitman boom and this is complicating the situation.

Said Devoy Is Pulling Wires for His Man. It was reported today that Devoy was busy working up Hinman sentiment, and trying to pull wires in the Roosevelt camp for Calder. Devoy had 8 long talk with John T. Rafferty, leader of the Congressman's assembly district, but neither would talk about it for publication. "Are you coming out for Mr.

Hinman?" Devoy was asked. "I have nothing to say now," he replied. "Are you going to see Colonel Roosevelt "I have no such present intention," he answered. State Chairman Barnes would make no statement today on the situation. His friends declared that he would be heard from tomorrow in a letter to a morning newspaper that attacked him.

Controller William A. Pendergast today made public a letter he had written to the New York Times indorsing in the highest terms the candidacy of Mr. Calder. The only political significance the missive is said to have is to set at rest the rumors that the Controller might embarrass the Park Slope Congressman by coming out himself as a candidate for some place on the State ticket. William Hamlin Childe, the Bull Moose county leader, followed Theodore Roosevelt onto the Harvey D.

Hinman band wagon today. He handed out el statement attacking the recent conduct of the State government under the Democrats and Republicans, declaring that the situation In the State was exactly similar to that in the city last fall and indorsing the Roosevelt suggestion and a fusion similar to that in the last municipal campaign was the most available cure. Jesse Fuller, Bull Moose leader of the Fifth Assembly District, and Robert H. Haskell of the Eighteenth, issued statements today in which they planted themselves squarely in the way of any Bull Moose-G. 0.

P. fusion on Hinman. Both declared that it would be wise if the Moose party waited a while before jumping on to the Hinman band wagon. Their statements were not regarded as important in the big Moose circles, however, in view of the fact that Aronstam and Childs, who about control Moose matters in Kings, have unqualifledly come out in favor of the Colonel's plan.

made a gallant rescue from drowning yesterday afternoon of the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Baring of Bellmore. Father King, who took hold ur the same parish in Bellmore only a little over a year ago, coming from the Church of St. John the Evangelist, on Twenty-first street, near Fifth avenue, Brooklyn, during which time he erected a $10,000 church, head an excursion party of his parishioners to High Hill Beach, a resort several miles away from Bellmore.

The little wharf on which the party were waiting for the return of the boat to take them back to Bellmore, after an enjoyable day's outing, was crowded. Suddenly the boy lost his footing and fell overboard. Several of the women screamed and Father King, who was at one end of the pier, pushed his way out to the edge of the wharf, and without even taking off his coat or shoes jumped overboard after the little fellow. The boy had disappeared beneath the water for the second time when the priest reached him. Amid the cheering of his flock, Father King swam back to the wharf.

As soon as Father King was out of the water he set to work, and at last succeeded in bringing the lad, who was unconscious, back to his senses. He then stole away and paid a visit to a nearby fisherman's shack, where he emerged later dressed in a complete suit of fishermen's clothes. He made light of the rescue.

J. H. Kiran of Flatbush Accuses "Gerard College Musio Professor." SCENE OF "ASSAULT," BELLMORE Haled to Freeport Court, Lawrence Andrews Denies Charge. Is Paroled. Following an unprovoked, brutal assault made upon her yesterday, she claims, when she attempted to see her granddaughter living at Bellmore, L.

Mrs. James H. Kiran of 455 East Twenty-sixth street, Flatbush, wife of a retired police lieutenant, is confined to her home today in a serious condition. She is under the care of her family physician. Dr.

W. H. Bayles, who fears an injury to her spine as a result of the treatment she received. Mrs. Kiran told Dr.

Bayles that she had been kicked several times and that her neck had been badly twisted. Bruises on her body and finger-nail marks on her neck seemed to bear out her story. The man whom Mrs. Kiran accuses of the assault was arrested in Bellmore last night and arraigned before Justice of the Peace Cordon Norton, at Freeport. He described himself Lawrence Andrews and said he was a as professor of music at Gerard College, Philadelphia, and that he has been stopping at Bellmore with Mr.

and Mrs. Charles A. Greene. Greene Was Mrs. Kiran's former son-in-law, and it was his daughter by his first marriage that the Flatbush woman had gone to Bellmore to see at the time the alleged attack took place.

According to the story she told Judge Norton her granddaughter, May, had lived with her for about a year and a half after the death of the little girl's mother, five years ago. Greene had also lived with his mother-in-law at that time but when he married again there was a falling out between them and he moved away taking the little girl with him. The grandmother was refused permission to see the child and had to communicate with her by stealth. She went to Bellmore yesterday to visit some friends and on her war home loitered in front of the Greene house in order to catch a glimpse of her granddaughter. The child appeared on the back porch of the house and waved to her and she waved back.

She was standing in the roadway about fifty feet distant from the house at the time, Mrs. Kiran declared, when a man suddenly rushed out of the house and ordered her away. He was a stranger to her. Then, she claims, he pushed her away. When she didn't go fast enough to suit him, she adds, he began to kick her.

When he finally left her she was in a semi-conscious condition and was taken to the office of Dr. Skou, a local physician, who examined her and found that she had been so roughly treated that he immediately cated the circumstances to Justice Norton. When he heard her story he ordered Andrews' arrest. Constable Murray arrested the man at the Greene home and brought him before Justice Norton, where he emphatically denied the alleged assault. He was paroled for an examination on August 1.

STARVES 72 HOURS; BECKY DEFIES CITY Woman Terrorist Firm in Resolve Not to Touch Food While in Jail. GOOD MEALS PASSED Edelson Girl Shows No Ill Effects.

May Be Forcibly Fed. BECKY EDELSON'S VOW: WILL STARVE IN JAIL THE CRIME "Inciting to riot" by making an incendiary speech. THE PUNISHMENT Three months in the workhouse. THE REVOLT--Becky Edelson declares her refusal to eat long as she kept in jail, THE TREATMENT. Forcible feeding if she persists, When you were small and got "sore" at something which had happened at home, you may remember that you tried to wreak a dreadful vengeance on the entire family and bring them to terms by refusing to eat.

You went without dinner and were very sorry for the folks, but you were fighting for a principle, and so you felt that they must suffer. Evening came and somehow you had missed fire. Nobody came with tear-stained face and begged you to sit down to the table because you were breaking the hearts of father, mother, sisters and brothers. You discovered, alas, that you were only punishing yourself. So you raised the white flag and sat down to supper mighty glad to eat after going without one meal.

Now, there is the same thing going on at present at the Blackwell's Island Workhouse, but on a larger scale. There sits Becky Edelson, a redblooded young woman of 24 years, carrying on a lone fight against the City of New York. The city has said that Becky Edelson, by her Anarchistic speeches, incited the public to riot. It has found her guilty and ordered that she be incarcerated for three months. Becky does not recognize the right of the authorities to Interfere with "free speech," and she is striving to make the big city bend its knee to her, a lone woman, by the only form of rebellion she knows of--starving.

How long can Becky Edelson hold out? Will she surrender before she becomes so weak that she must be fed forcibly through a tube, or will she stick to the determination she announced before Judge Swann of the Court of General Sessions when she declared with flashing eyes that she would fast as long as she remained behind prison bare? The authorities believe that Becky will surrender soon that she may capitulate before night. They think they have read the signs aright and that Becky's willingness to submit to the physical examination made yesterday was a straw showing that her will was beginning to weaken, Becky takes the opposite view. At 7 o'clock this morning the tron went to the truculent young Anarchist's cell and asked kindly: "Do you wish to go to breakfast, Becky Becky looked up from a book she was reading. There was a moment's hesitation. Then she uttered a firm "No." The matron walked on her way without attempting to argue.

The only way they are resisting Becky at the island is with kindness, and It is a way she does not understand. She expected them to fight, but they have disarmed her. Becky had then gone without food for sixty-seven hours, and at noon she had passed the seventy-two-hour mark. It was a palatable breakfast she missed in the mess hall-one that would tempt anybody. This is what she would have bad: Boiled hominy, milk, coffee, corned-beef hash and bread.

And this is what she missed at the luncheon hour: Vegetable soup, boiled beef, potatoes, vegetables and bread. There is a different bill of fare each day. This is not the first time the defant young woman who has set at nought the rules of law and order has starved. In April she went thirty-six hours without food in the Tombs. Ae the end of that time nature triumphed and she purtook of some chocolate, after which she ate some chops.

Now Becky has doubled her former record. She has an able mentor in Alexander Berkman, her common-law husband. Berkman lived from ten to twelve days in the Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary, after the shooting of Mr. Frick, without eating. Upton Sinclair once went fiften days without food because he wished to cure himself of a digestive disorder and not because he WAS defying anybody, and even Deputy Commissioner of Correction Burdette Lewis, who is watching Becky's case with interest, left food alone for six days for the same reason some time ago.

Mr. Lewis experienced no bad results from it. There was once a professional starver named Signor Succi, who starved for sixty days, but nobody believes that Becky is another Succi. Becky Edelson entered the workhouse on Monday evening weighing 156 pounds. She is what Mr.

Lewis calle "a splendid animal." She is dark of hair and complexion and ruddy of cheek. All her life she had been fond of eating red beef and chops. Mr. Lewis and Dr. Davis do not think that a woman of this sort will stick to her determination to take no nourishment of any sort.

Warden Fox reported to Mr. Lewis, today, that Becky's condition was fine. The physical examination performed yesterday, by Dr. Anna Huber and Dr. Elihu Katz, the prison physician, showed that there was nothing the matter with Becky.

it becomes necessary to feed the prisoner forcibly, Dr. Katherine Davis, Commissioner of Correction, will go to the workhouse and superintend the operation. It won't be today, whatever happens. Dr. Davis went away to Orange County, N.

this morning. When she comes back she will inquire whether or not the defiant little woman has raised the white flag to the city. Many persons are wondering whether, in the event that strike, Becky refuses to quit her hunger to she can be made amenable the law on a charge of attempted suicide. It is a nice little question for lawyers to mull over at their leisure. MRS.

JORDAN'S REINTERMENT. Arrangements have not yet been completed for the reinterment of the body of Mrs. William F. Jordan, beside that of her husband, in the Cypress Hills Cemetery. It is probable, however, that it will take place some time next week, after the board of managers of the Brooklyn it.

seemed to have from the moment she entered the courtroom. Judge Albanel rapped on his desk. Then Mme. Gueydan continued: "I have been pained to see that the person who drew the indictment has gathered together filth. All the pity has gone to the intruder, who defiled my home to take my place." Maitre Labori-Mme Gueydan promised to testify without hate.

Mme. Gueydan-It is said that the crime was committed because I communicated copies of letters. The witness then referred to her notes, to which Maitre Labori objected amid murmurs of protest against him from the audience. Judge Albanel supported Maitre Labori's objection. The judge then himself addressed the witness, saying questioningly, in order to give her a start: "Disagreements arose in your Mme.

Gueydan-There were no disagreements. The witness was speaking rapidly. She continued: "Our domestic life was tender. No one knows. Not even you, Mr.

President, and absolutely no one knows about this affair." Judge Albanel-Nevertheless you and your husband had a reconciliation over something and the letters were burned. Will you explain? Witness Says M. Calllaux Gave Her the First Letter. what I can say--what I ought to say." Says Husband Told Her He Once Had Made Ready to Kill Her. Mme.

Gueydan-The first letter which appeared-do you know who gave that to me? M. Calllaux! He did it at the Ministry of Finances In 1908. Mme. Gueydan was speaking in low tones and the impatient spectators called out, "Louder!" louder!" Mme. Gueydan-I had never suspected that my husband had a mistress.

I first knew it when he threw himself at my knees and asked my pardon. He humbled himself and I pardoned him, but the day after he returned to this person. I did not cease to believe his lying talk. I believed that the evil surrounding my home had gone, for I thought I saw the bottom of his heart in his tears. Mme.

Gueydan's voice had become clear, and though she spoke in low tones her words penetrated every part of the chamber as she said: "I did not know at all the person in question. To show you my loyalty to my husband, he confided to me a traveling satchel full, he said, of important papers. I never opened it. I did not know until a long time afterward that it contained correspondence between him and Mme. Raynouard, now Mme.

Caillaux." The witness' voice sank into indistinctness and she stool silent for a moment before continuing her testimony and then she only said: "I do not know Mme. Gueydan again stood silent until Judge Albanel requested her to contnue and to speak louder. She then said: "My husband became irritable and I was nervous. One day he said to me, 'Do you know I camo to your bedside last night to kill you? After that I felt I ought to leave. I went to Versailles and wrote to him.

I thought he would follow me and bring me home, but no! He went to the Department of the Sarthe and I returned to Paris, but he did not, and you know why." Mme. Gueydan continued: "Well, I came back home and I noticed his desk half open. There were in it two letters from a woman. They had been fabricated by him and Mme. Raynouard to make me believe that there was no intimacy between them." Joseph Caillaux, the witness' former husband, during her testimony changed his seat four times getting nearer to her 80 that he was better able to hear' until finally he was within four or five feet of her.

Mme. Gueydan, however, did not notice M. Caillaux, whose fingers were twitching and whose hands were incessantly opening' and shutting. The witness meanwhile entered into many details of small happenings preceding her divorce. She said: "I had an impression that he was afraid." While she WAS saying this Mme.

Gueydan turned and looked her former husband straight in the face while Mme. Caillaux, bent over the railing around the prisoners' inclosure with her face half concealed and occasionally wiping away the then perspiration. Mme. Gueydan recited a succession of quarrels and reconciliations between M. Caillaux and herself.

She said she had found letters at their house in Mamers and added: "I took them so as not to be unarmed in the divorce." Upon Judge Albanel reminding the witness at the end of the second hour of her testimony that her voice had become almost inaudib'e she excused herself by saying: "This recital is very painful to me. It takes all my strength." VETERANS HAVE OUTING. One hundred members of the Veterans Association of the Forty-seventh Regiment, N. G. N.
