RAILROADS REPORTED
iii A CLOSER UNION
leavers flow Circle
its New Haven and
and Hudson
saw HAVEN, May 27.-Pcrslstent
rumors in banking circles here of a
closer union between the Delaware it
Hudson Canal Company and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford itali-
road Company appear to have their
origin in the fact that not long after
the opposition began in Massachusetts
to the Boston and Maine merger, pro-
positiond came directly or indirectly
through E. ll. Harriman, looking to
the purchase by the Delaware & Hud-
son of the thirty-five per cent. of the
Boston a: Maine stock held by the
New Haven, the purchase being made
by an equal number of Delaware &
Hudson shares to go into the New lla»
ven's treasury. Tile prOpOsition was
not seriously considered by the New
Haven at the time, but It is asserted
that negotiations have been renewed
since. it is polntcd out here tlnlt the
authorized capital stock of the Delu-
ware & Hudson is $55,711,500, of which
“2.400.000 have been issued. leaving
more than “3,000,000 unissued. fly
the last annual report of the New
Haven Company there were 247,977
shares of that corporation held In the
treasuries of subordinate companies,
whose capital stock is all owned by
the New Haven. The larger part of
these shares have been held with the
idea of using them for exchange for
additional llostou & Maine shares, but
the company is under no pledge to do
so.
In the case of both the Ihllnwnre (4:
Hudson and the New Haven Company
there thus appears to be large
amounts of unissued shares which
could be used in any transaction look-
illg to a combinatiup of the two corn-
panies, but inquiry indicates that of
late no definite progress has been
made in any negotiations and that the
New Haven Company will uwnit fur-
ther results of the Massachusetts and
the federal suits against the corpora
tion. it is also pointed out that
transfer of the 35 per cent. of tin-
iloston & Maine shares to the Dela
Ware & Hudson might still subject
them to the Massachusetts law of "in
direct" control, should the New iln
ven Company be dominant In any new
combination with the Delaware & lludv
son corporation.
Any exchange of shares between
the New Haven and Delaware it ilud
son is further complicated by the fact
that willie some months ago the shares
of the two companies were much near
ed a parity in market value. since then
Delaware & iludaon shares have ad
vanced until they are 25 points or
more ahead of those of the New Hu~
ven, and iloston do Mlllilt' shin-cs low

SOUTH COVENTRY, Conn., May 27
.—There have been two women dress-
ed in black who have been canvassing
this section of late. One had a peti-
tion to congress relating to some
changes in'the pension laws, to which
she urged signatures of those who had
male relatives in the Civil war.
She called at the home of Charles
Kolb on the 'Wlllinlan‘tic road on the
evening of may i, and told a. rambling
story abbut her husband being a. Grand
Army man. The woman talked a great
deal, but not coherently, and finally
Mr. Kalb gave her 81 and she went
