PRICE FIVE CENTS $5.00 PER ANNUM MILLIONS LOST ON NEW HAVEN RECKLESS AND PROFLIGATE FINANCIAL OPERATIONS EXPOSED RECORDS BURNED Every Effort Ii Being Used To Destroy Evidence of Crooked Administration (By Associated Press.) Wa Hh i H Kt on, July 13.-The story of the "reckles? aud prod?gate" financial operations of the New Haven railroad, one the most remarkable chapters In the history of American rt? il road und American finance, was revealed in part today by the interstate com merce commission in a report to the nonato of its Investigations of that road. lt told of millions used Uko stage money, of corporations as pawns in n monster gnuie with all the New Eng land transportation ns a prize, which led the Now Haven in the ten years Just passed from the height of pros perity to tho point where a dividend has been passed, where a dissolution suit ls threatening and where crim inal indictments of many cf the di rectors who figured in deals are at least a possibility. Mill Ion H Lost. Hampered by unwilling witnesses, by burnod books and by all tho mazes which lawyers in vented to cover thc trail, thc commission estimated that In the progress toward monopolization of Now England transportation, the New Haven stockholders have lost bc. tween $65,000,000 and S90.000.000, but little of which they, may recover. In return, the report said, they have on their hands properties which pay no dividends, which eat into the earn ings of thc parent road and which will be a burden on its capacity for many years to come. Of the present directing head, Chairman Howard Elliott and Wal ker D. Hines, special counsel, the re port says: "They- have co-operated with tho commission. and rendered it - -'- substantial assistance-throughout this investigation:"- ..... The New V. ?yen combination, reared by Charier. 1,. Mellon, ana approved by the late j. Pierpont Morgan and Wil liam rockefeller, thc commission linds to be clearly in violation of the Sher man anti-trust act and a monopoly in practical control ot the transportation of five states. The commission's report ts unusual as regards the mannor la which di rectors of the New Haven are scored, i It speaks of crimlaal maladministra . . Hon and negligence, asserts with pos itiveness that the directors knew they were perfecting an Illegal combina tion and says that the dream of a transportation monopoly was unsound and mischievous. The New Haven, the commission says employed dummy directors, manipulated accounts, used question able methods In increasing Its own stock, paid the dividends of subsidiar ies to make a showing, and used many other devices to deceive stock hold ers and the public. It dipped into pol itics, was a factor in "invisible gov ernment," made large campaign con .' . trlbutlons to the two dominant polit ical parties, bought officials and tried to distort public opinion. AU this it did, the commission says, "to carry out a scheme of private : transporta tion, monoply Imperial In its scope." Directors Mabie. "If these directors who were falth ? less to their stewardship were held re f Bponslble for their failure to do those thingB they should hav edone, the lea son's to directors who do not direct would be very salutary," says the re port. Most of the directors of . the New Haven accepted their responsi bility lightly. They failed- to realize that their names gave confidence to the public and that their connection with the corporation led the public to invest. When these directors were negligent and serious losses'resulted therefrom, they were guilty of grave dereliction of duty and a breach of J trust that was .morally wrong and criminal in its fruits. -"Directors should be. made Individ ually liable to civil and criminal laws for the manner in which they dis charge their trust A corporation can bb no better or worse than than those who operate it. It should be just.-as grave a crime to plunder stockholders or the public through a railroad cor poration aa it is personally to rob an individual." Caws Violated* Of all tho millions lost to New Haven stockholders, the commission * oBtimatea that possibly $8,000,000 may be recovered by proper action. Evi dence in ita posslsston fending to show violations of the laws of Ne.** York, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, bas been turned over to the proper execu tives In these states. The department of Justice haa been furnished with a .complete record ot the testimony secured by the commis sion, but there la no federal statute under which the government can aid the stockholders In. recovering any of r^ their losses..

POPULAR MAN" PASSED AWAY Summons Sunday Afternoon !a This ?Hy S. Joe McCully. after an illness of several months, died Sunday at the home of his mother, Mrs- Carrie Mc Cully, on Instituto Hill, in this city. The deceased was a son of Newton Alexander McCully, who died some years ago, and his wife, Mrs. Carry Fretwell McCully. He waa a nephew of Mr. A. Q. Fretwell of Fair Play, of Mr. A. C. Fretwe\l of aFir Play, in this county. He was a brother of Mrs. Curry McC Patrick and of N. A. McCully, an officer of the navy. He was a kinsman of the Mccullys, Keeses and Humphries of Anderson; the Wagners and Bremers of Charles ton. He was 38 years old at the time of his death but he was one of the boys that neyer grew up; he was always "Joe McCully;" genial, bis-hearted, generous and a true friend. His consideration for others was never better shown than during his long tedious illness. Often he would lie and suffer pain rather than di nt u rb hiB nurse to relieve him and with pa tient fortitude and uncomplaining, he faced the end. For several years he had been in the employ of the Ettewan Fertilizer Company in Charleston, S. C., and it was perhaps the severe tax of his work in unhealhful surroundings that finally broke down his supurb consti tution and physique and made him an easy victim of the disease that killed him. For who doesn't remember him as big, handsome Joe McCully? His friends throughout the state will be saddened to know of bis death. The funeral was held yesterday at Silver Brook cemetery.

NAVY IN BIG AFFAIR NO INDIRECTNESS The Policy of the Navy Is To Deal With Diplomatic Ques tions Without Evasion (By Associated Press) New Port, H. I , July ia.-How tho nat ion V foreign policy often hangs upon tin? action and discretion of a naval olllcer commanding a warship in a far-away port, was discussed by Seeertary Daniels here today at tho opening of the Naval War College ses sion. He pictured the duties of tho naval olllcer In the lolo of diplomat, recalled incidents in which command ers of American war ships in foreign ports had opened new chapters in American history, and urged olllcers at the College and Marine olllcers to train themselves in international law and the languages In preparation for ruoh emergencies. "The Navy, in the technical sense," said the Secretary, "mu&t leave to the Department of State the settlement of international policies, and properly Fo. Hut, In the practical operations of policies nllectlng other nations, tue action of the youngest naval officer commanding the smallest vessel In a foreign nort might determine thc ac tion of our government. Independent of tho po les which thc ?rained di plomats might have planned. In many quiet ports, the first American seen is on officer of the Navy. In surveying, lu exploration, in protect ion of Americans, but is often called to places where no consul or other government olllclal has gone. To those people ho incarnates the Ameri can government.

It Jiu . bo uuUw rf?rmed as the requirements" bf Intern national law, what consequences of evil may flow from his ignorance. If he lack tact and a sense of cour tesy, how he may block the path of his country to serve the people to whom he is rent and prevent thc opening of doors, through which his countrymen might enter tri promote commerce and foggctlee of friendliness and amity.' ' There, had boen no seeertary of state, Mr. Duuiels said, who had avail ed himself moro of the service of the naval ofilccr as a diplomat, "who has shown confidence in his ability, MB Judgment and his absolute trust worthiness than had Seeertary Bryan." Delicate SI?mil ions He recalled thc demand made for a salute of-the Stars and Stripes by Admiral Mayo at Tampico aa an ex ample of how the action of a naval officer in a foreign country precipi tated "an Issue not contemplated In diplomatic channels, and lr-evocably committed his government to a policy of action in support of his demand." i Vary V achievment in the opening of Japan to commerce. Dewey's brilliant victory and his administration in Philippine Waters, and finally Rear Admiral Fletcher's occupation of Vera Cruz: were pointed to by the Secre tary as conspicuous instances of the double service required cf the Ameri can nnval ofilccr abroad." Ambassador Jusserand of France and James Bryce, former British am bassador to tho United S'.ates were lauded by the speaker au "modern diplomats" who, he said, had "re placed Indirectness and evasion with directness and sincerity." "Hy education, by training and by character" Mr. Daniels continued, "the naval officer is not fitted for a di plomacy calling for dissembling, for saying 'yea' and meaning 'perhaps' or for double dealing. If he is to serve his country abroad for its 'good' it must bo a service that ia marked by frankness! and sincerity, and it is that sort of service which made their di plomacy of Perry, and Dewey as hon orable and useful as the eminence aa sailors, and which, has given them a permanent place in the affections of their countrymen. Certainly we may regard Perry as the greatest diplomat which the American navy has ever furnished to exhibit most of its rep resentatives have never failed to ex hibit thc high Rifts of diplomacy when called upon to face the situation which required the exercise.of the art. "There is very recent proof that Perry was a true prophet when he foresaw friendship between the United States and Japan. In the present Mexican trouble the Jananese haye been scrupulous to prevent thc shipment of arms by Japan manufac turers." Temptation of Imperialism. If all American diplomacy in the Spanish-American war had been modeled after that of Perry's, the Secretary declared "the United States might not have yielded to the temp tation of imperialism.
