NEW HAVEN. May 19.~'i‘irc state-
ment of iJresldrni S. S. Mcllen of the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
road that a consol dollop of the vari‘
ous trolley roads owned by the steam
road was contemplated has caused
widespread speculation among finan-
cial men regarding in just what mari-
uer the deal will be carried through
The first step is the meeting of tilt-
Fair Haven road stockholders tomor-
row. The New Haven road will casi
roles enough to sell the franchise to
the Worcester and Conn. Eastern Ry.
Company, which in turn will hereafter
bear the name “Consolidated Railway
Company." This latter company will
enjoy one of the best charters ever
granted to a trolley line.
Following tip this more, unless it is
prevented in some rrutnner including
the issuing of an injunction the road
will also merge the Stamford Street
Railway and Merideu road. Thus the
United Gas improvement company of
Philadelphia which controls the Court.
Ry. and Lighting Company will have
a most formidable rival to this state
for the light, power and water privi-
leges.
For some months there has been
considerable buying of the Connecticut
lty anti Lighting company's 41/. per
cent. bonds, which have been insured to
an amount of $9,000,000. and which
cover the entire plant of the. road. This
buying has been conservative but in
dlcates that perhaps a much larger
more is to be brought out after present
proceedings have progressed a small
way.
President Mellen today refused to
say anything further than what he told
the New Haven Leader representative
yesterday regarding the deal. .He says
there is nothing to add.
it is stated that four-fifths of the
stock of the Fair Haven road has been
turned in for the bonds of the New
Haven road. The last day is June 18th
for stockholders to turn their certifi-
(ates in. The road now controls more
than a majority of the stock as a ma
jority had to be pledged before they
would exchange the bonds
Just where the stockholders outsidi
of- the Consolidated road in the W0:-
cester Sr Connecticut Eastern road are
coming out remains to be seen. There
are seven all told and eight reside in
this state. it is stated that the hold-
ings of the other three outside of the
state are very small and that the Con-
soiidnted owns nearly the entire stock
issue of 8500.000.
With a consolidation of all the trol-
ley interests in the state and the vast
powers bestowed upon the holding
company as the ”Consolidated Railway
Co." will be known leaves room for
speculation regarding the future course
of President Mellen. He has astonish-
ed many of the shrewdest of Connect-
icut investors by his quick moves and
it is likely he has several more moves
before he decides to take his summer
vacation.

the protest forwarded to the govern-

French government. it was decided to
first ascertain definitely what repre-

agreed on the stem to be taken when
the exact character of the foreign pro-
test is ascertained. An official coni-

does not give the nature of the ex-
pected action. There is nelson to be-
lieve. however. that M, Niaard. the
ambassador of France to the Vatican,
may be granted leave from his post as
a means of expressing his govern-
ment’s disapproval.
Later it became known that M. Nis-

l0 fell the lain—Arrived
lieme Yesterday
Frederick Schuub. son of Jacob
Schaub, arrived home this morning on
a seven days furlough from the first-
class battleship Missouri. which is In
dry deck at Newport News. undergoing
repairs. Very few people would care
to go through the experience of young
Scltattb. At the time of the explosion
of the twelve inch gun. Schaub was in
a compartment near, with fifteen
others. fourteen of whom were killed.
Schaub and a young comrade named
Stan being the only ones alive today
0 tell of the accident.
Schaub relates that the gun had
two bags of powder already loaded in.
which are. placed there by an electric
ram, when the explosion occurred. His
right arm has an ugly scar on it from
a severe burn received and the right
side of his face and car are badly burn-
ed. His eye lashes and eye brows
were burned off and at the .time of the
acciden his eyes were closed for six
hours. and it was three days before
he could see at all. but at present he
says he cart see as well as ever. At
the time of the explosion the cap to
one of the compartments was off and
there was over 700 pounds of powder
exploded which was of the smokless
variety. Schaub has been on board of
.‘he Missouri ever since the accident
occured and Stan is at present con-
fined in the naval hospital at Pensaco-
la. Fa.
When asked if he ‘was at all wor-
ried about going back again. Schaub
remarked that the only thing that war-
ried him was people asking too many
questions. He will undoubtedly lose
all the fingers nails on both hands.
from the acids used to kill the pain of
the burns.
The body of one of the Danbury bovs
arrived there last night and today
nearly all business in that city is at
a standstill. Schaub has a seven days'
furlough and he has applied for a long-
er leave of absence. which will pro-
bably be granted.
