brought to trial. On October 18 the New Haven Railroad dissolution decree was entered by the court. The defendant, by written consent to the decree, cancelled the violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust law, and got from the Government immunity to further civil suits against it.

NEW HAVEN PROPERTIES TO BE SOLD.

The following is a summary of the properties to be sold by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad under its agreement with the Department of Justice, with the book value thereof as carried on the books of the railroad and the New England Navigation Cómpany:

[blocks in formation]

While these legal details were being arranged the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company and the New England Navigation Company instituted sult in the New Haven County Superior Court against the officers of the Billard Company for the recovery of $3,824,147 alleged to have been acquired and withheld as a result of the purchase of stock in the Boston and Maine Railroad for the New Haven. The property in New Haven of certain of the Billard directors was attached by the Sheriff, also the home of Charles S. Mellen, President of the New Haven at the time of the Billard deal.

Simultaneously with these suits a Special United States Grand Jury was inquiring into the charges of violations of the Sherman law laid against the New Haven and its directors, the search being for a basis of criminal charges against members of the boards during the time of the acts conceded by the New Haven in the agreed decree of October 17, under which immunity to further civil suits was granted.

Charles S. Mellen was the chief witness, this fact earning him immunity from indictment on a criminal charge. He always claimed that in return for his testimony before the Interstate Commerce Commission he had been promised immunity from prosecution on the indictment filed against him in December, 1912, charging violation of the Sherman law by restraining interstate trade in the abandonment of the Grand Trunk extension construction. His call to testify by the Government before this Special Grand Jury made certain he was to be given immunity from prosecution. He emerged from the Grand Jury room smiling and apparently well pleased. The Billard suit was a different matter, however. He was held legally responsible there with the Billard Company. That sult Mr. Mellen characterized as "pure cussedness.

directors.

November 3 the indictment followed of twenty-one New Haven directors-present and former This was the result of "turning on the light" in New Haven Railroad affairs. It was one of the most notable, if not the most notable, achievements in the journalistic world in this century. The list of defendants represents many millions of dollars and forms a striking beginning for a 1914 edition de luxe, "Who's Who in the Financial World." It follows:

William Rockefeller, for more than twenty-five years a director of the New Haven, heads the list of the indicted. The others are George Macculloch Miller, for forty-one years a director of lines in the New Haven system; Charles F. Brooker, William Skinner, D. Newton Barney, Robert W. Taft, James S. Elton, James S. Hemingway, Lewis Cass Ledyard, J. P. Morgan's personal attorney for many years; Charles M. Pratt, A. Heaton Robertson, Frederick F. Brewster, Henry K McHarg, Edward D. Robbins, Alexander Cochrane, John L. Billard, George F. Baker, Chairman of the Board of the First National Bank; T. De Witt Cuyler, Theodore N. Vall, Edward Milligan, Francis T. Maxwell.

WORLD'S WORK FOR THE CANAL TOLLS REPEAL BILL. Throughout the Congressional fight on the Canal Tolls Repeal measure THE WORLD worked unceasingly to this end: That the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty be respected and free tolls be not given to the coastwise shipping.

It called on all good Democrats to support Democratic principles. It asked that the Nation keep faith. TO THE WORLD a treaty between two great Nations was more than a "scrap of paper." It was a binding obligation. As the fight wavered all along the line, THE WORLD held to its point. That it helped to win the votes necessary to repudiate the blunder of 1912-which permitted the plank in the platform favoring the exemption from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the Panama Canal-is certain.

THE WORLD called attention to this plank in 1912. It held then that the plank favoring the exemption from tolls of American ships was a declaration in favor of a ship subsidy. In 1914, as the Canal was about to be opened and the matter became a live issue, THE WORLD held that there was but one thing to do-repudiate that plank; undo the blunder by prompt legislation. It held that to uplift Democratic principles was infinitely finer than to uphold Democratic partisan politics. It asked that the Sims bill repealing the tolls exemption clause of the Panama Canal act be passed for the honor of the Nation.

To sum up THE WORLD'S arguments and position on this question into one statement: It held that the Democratic party should be big enough and wise enough and strong enough when a blunder had been made to acknowledge that mistake by swiftly correcting it by proper legislation.

That the exemption clause was in violation of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, and for this reason alone should be repealed, THE WORLD was equally insistent. To repeal the clause was the only thing this Government could do with honor. While daily advancing arguments in favor of repeal, THE WORLD briefly told the story of England's interest in an isthmian canal and the treaties that followed, each to this end, that she and her dependencies might use such a canal on terms of equality with the United States. This bit of history showed the imperative necessity, if this Government would be loyal to her high ideals, of admitting and upholding her treaty obligations.

THE WORLD showed that former Ambassador to England Joseph H. Choate and former Secretary and at one time Charge d'Affaires Henry White, the only living Americans who took part in the negotiations, held that "exempting coast wise shipping from tolls is a clear violation of the treaty. Thus was furnished the last word in the argument that hotly waged before the Congressional vote settled the question and repealed the clause.

A lobbyist undertook to defeat repeal. THE WORLD gave a history of his career. As the fight over the bill progressed it was quite clear that the issue was being fought by the idealists, the men who believed in upholding the Government's honor, and the "special interests." As all the world now knows, the idealists won, and when "the greatest engineering feat" was consummated and the Panama Canal opened to the world's traffic in August it was open to all the Nations of the earth on equal terms.

THE WORLD'S WORK ALONG VARIOUS LINES.

THE WORLD'S series of revelations of the Tammany traffic in Aqueduct contracts was officially verified in 1914 by the Special Grand Jury investigating graft. The result of its labors before Supreme Court Justice Vernon M. Davis was a presentment to this end; this presentment stating also that these conditions of graft can be largely obviated in the future by the enactment of appropriate laws." Such a recommendation and action thereon was the ultimate point of THE WORLD'S efforts as an investigator of the Aqueduct scandals.

THE WORLD voiced swift approval of Mayor Mitchel's efforts to induce the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors to accelerate favorable action on the proposed appropriation for the improvement of New York Harbor. This because New York is now the first seaport of the world both in tonnage and value of merchandise. Most of the mail matter concerned with the four and a half billions of foreign commerce of the United States passes in and out of New York Harbor, to say nothing of the general commerce. Of all applicants for Federal harbor work, New York should stand first when appropriations are to be made by this committee. THE WORLD is with Mayor Mitche' in his efforts to get Federal millions for a big ship channel in the East River, for dock and general improvement of New York Harbor.

THE WORLD asked for prison terms, more strict laws in this State for the reckless automobile drivers who run men down in the streets and highways; laws that would be no respecter of persons or occupations; laws that would hold and punish the reckless speeder driving the post-office trucks at racing speed through crowded city streets, as well as the thoughtless "Joy riders."

THE WORLD sounded a note of approval of the new Anti-Noise ordinance which provides prompt punishment for any person who shall make or permit to be made "any noise tending to disturb the peace and quiet of the neighborhood for the purpose of directing attention to his wares or trade or calling." This ordinance was only a step in the right direction, a step that THE WORLD hoped might be followed by other ordinances that would tend to decrease the nerve-racking noise so much a part of life in New York. This, to increase the comforts of life, and for the added and vital reason: Neurologists, speaking from the depths of knowledge and experience, claim that the rapidly increas ing number of nervous wrecks in the cities is largely due to the constantly increasing noises; noises which penetrate to the nerve centres in many instances, even during sleep, as well as make life burdensome during waking hours.

THE WORLD is for rapid subway work and against every delay, legal or otherwise, that will delay the completion of new lines. It has endeavored to impress on the Public Service Commission the full sense of the commission's responsibility to the public; it has asked that all contracts be let and that work be rushed in all ways to this end-that a long-suffering public may have proper facilities for getting to and from work without expending all its energy strap-hanging before the day's duties are begun.

THE WORLD strenuously opposed the literacy test for immigrants as unwise in every sense. necessary to check immigration and control the trame of the steamship companies THE WORLD Would do this openly.. It would keep out of the United States people physically and mentally defective. It would bar a criminal record or persons suffering from disease. But to bar a man because he cannot read or write, THE WORLD held, was inconsistent and illogical, to state the case mildly, since many of the most successful and respected of the early settlers in America were unable to sign their names, except by their mark, throughout life. Yet many of these same citizens died wealthy, as wealth was estimated in the early years of this country's history. And their descendants are, in many cases, numbered with the "great men" of to-day.

THE WORLD gave substantial aid to President Wilson and Mayor Mitchel when they took action to end "war prices" for food. Law for food extortioners was the repeated request of THE WORLD. The new free markets were welcomed as one of the ways to keep food prices nor nal. THE WORLD called for swift, determined action daily, so that the poor might not suffer. The wide publicity given to the campaign against a war rise in food prices quickly re-established the markets on the old basis.

THE WORLD'S WAR NEWS SERVICE.

THE WORLD's war news service has been notable. Never since newspapers were first printed have their representatives encountered such difficulties getting the news and sending it to their home offices as during the cataclysm of 1914. The immensity of the territory covered by the great armies alone would make the problem colossal of following their actions each day under the most favorable circumstances. This problem is as nothing, however, compared with the barriers erected by the censors of each of the fighting Nations, the result being conditions to try the soul of the publisher whose nrst wish is to give his readers "up-to-the-minute news" of the greatest war in history. THE WORLD arranged for special war news from the leading foreign newspapers, and it sent its own representatives into the war zone. The result was exclusive accounts, pictures of the horrors of war that were remarkable for their vividness, their truthfulness to life in all phases, though the facts were often gleaned and written in face of death.

Notable in this respect was the work of THE WORLD'S representative in Belgium, E. Alexander Powell. He was the only correspondent in Antwerp who was not a Belgian. He was officially designated by that Nation as the medium of communication with the American people and was the only correspondent permitted to accompany the army. When Belgium desired to make a protest against the cruelty of Germany, her Foreign Minister gave that country's facts to Mr. Powell, wishing to reach the American people through the medium of THE WORLD.

E. Alexander Powell remained in Antwerp during the bombardment, stayed until the Germans took possession; and his descriptions of those days and nights of horror are classics in their vividness He rode in his car through stricken Belgium during the days of fighting as fearlessly as if in New York's streets, his experiences a continued marvel to WORLD readers. One of the most notable of his many brave acts was a conversation held with Gen. von Boehm, commanding the Ninth Imperial Field Army and the mouthpiece of the German General Staff. The General asserted "that accounts of atrocities perpetrated on Belgian non-combatants were lles. "And "Herr Powell" replied by stating to the General one case after another that had come under his own personal ob

servation of Belgian non-combatants, some of them women and children, who had been maimed, tortured and killed. He told this conversation without comment and left it to "readers of THE WORLD to decide for themselves just how convincing are the answers of the German General Staff to Belgian accusations."

Mr. Powell has proved himself one of the few very great war correspondents.

Arno Dosch, another of THE WORLD'S special correspondents, was with the German army while it crossed Belgium. There were no accredited correspondents with the army. He sent THE WORLD an account of the great battle of the Aisne that was one of the big achievements of the western campaign. H. B. Swope, a WORLD Staff man, sent the story of Capt.-Lieut. Otto Weddingen, commander of the submarine U-9 which destroyed three English cruisers. Lieut. Weddingen's account had been officially announced and verified by German navy headquarters. It was first published in THE WORLD.

Another of the many exclusive bits of war news in THE WORLD was a letter that was written from day to day in the trenches-really a diary. The writer was Capt. Norman G. Thwaites of the Fourth (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards. This diary gave a vivid glimpse of life in the trenches on the Franco-Belgian frontier. Capt. Thwaites was one of the foreign editors of THE WORLD until the outbreak of the war. He had fought in the Boer war and was on the reserve list. cabled for an assignment at once when war was declared and was called to London. When his diaryletter was sent to THE WORLD he was in the hospital severely injured by a bullet.

He

Another exclusive feature of THE WORLD war news was from the Russian armies October 25. THE WORLD sent a cablegram to Gen. W. A. Soukhomlinoff, Russia's Minister of War and AdjutantGeneral of Emperor Nicholas II., asking for authoritative details of the situation in the eastern theatre of war. Full details were sent direct to the newspaper of the great Russian victory after the hard-fought battles between the East Prussian frontier and the River Nieman.

Mention of THE WORLD'S special features in the way of exclusive war news would be incomplete without referring to THE WORLD'S account of the occupation of Vera Cruz, Mexico. This was the journalistic achievement of Robert H. Murray, the special representative there of THE WORLD.

THE SANTA CLAUS SHIP.

THE WORLD Co-operated to the fullest extent with the Chicago Herald and perhaps 150 other newspapers of the United States to this end-that the children of Europe, whose fathers have been killed in the war might be remembered by Santa Claus on Christmas. The idea originated with James Keeley, publisher of the Chicago Herald. Generous response to the call in behalf of the children was made. THE WORLD established sixty-four receiving depots in New York. A general receiving station was established through the co-operation of Dock Commissioner R. A. C. Smith, This station was on the upper deck of Pier No. 1, North River. Its use was given to Commissioner Smith in behalf of the Christmas Ship by the lessees, the Iron Steamboat Company. The American Red Cross, under the guidance of Miss Mabel T. Boardman, co-operated by offering to convey and deliver gifts to the children. This co-operation meant a wide and impartial distribution. Irving T. Bush, President of the Bush Terminal Company, offered the use, without cost, of the Bush Terminal stores. Gifts were handled there as well as at the Iron Steamboat Pier. The colller Jason was given by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels to carry the Christmas presents to Europe. The quantity of merchandise that was sent in response to THE WORLD'S call for help for the orphan children was great. The pier was strung with electric lights and the work of preparing the cargo for shipment was rushed night and day. The soldiers from Fort Hamilton worked under Major Lawton of the Quartermaster's Department assorting the gifts. A company of marines helped the Red Cross representatives. The wives and daughters of the officers on Governor's Island and many others worked each day until the gifts were all stowed away in the big collier. When she steamed away, Lieutenant-Commander, C. E. Courtney commanding, she bore 6,000,000 gifts. It was probably the most remarkable cargo that any ship ever carried from this or any other port.

She was given a great send-off. Mayor Mitchel sent a letter and Mr. McAneny as his representative to see her sall. John Callan O'Laughlin, representing the Chicago Herald, went with the ship as American Commissioner. All paid tribute to the work of THE WORLD to the end that the undertaking might be a success and bring joy, or at least a measure of comfort, to the helpless children, sufferers because of the war.

Earl Kitchener expressed his thanks and the thanks of the army to the American people for sending Christmas gifts to the children of British soldiers. Queen Mary sent a letter of thanks for the gifts to the donors through Mrs. Walter H. Page, wife of the American Ambassador to Great Britain.

THE WORLD'S WINNING FIGHT FOR EFFICIENCY OF THE COURTS.

THE WORLD'S fight for longer court hours and shorter vacations for the Judges of General Sessions scored a success in November, when the Committee on Courts of Criminal Procedure of the New York County Lawyers' Association sent to the Judges a copy of the resolution they passed, approving the new vacation schedule suggested by the Judges.

HOW THE WORLD fight for longer court hours and shorter vacations for the Judges of General Sessions was won:

September, 1913-THE WORLD published a series of articles calling attention to the regular Summer overcrowding of the Tombs and the long vacations enjoyed by the Judges. At the following session the Legislature passed a bill establishing six full parts of General Sessions Instead of five.

September 22, 1914-THE WORLD began the publication of articles showing that conditions had not been relieved and that prisoners were In the Tombs clamoring for trials which they could not get. September 27-The suggestion was made that the Legislature might take further action. September 30-The Tombs reached high-water mark of 891 prisoners.

October 3-Jonah J. Goldstein called the attention of the Committee on Courts of Criminal Procedure of the County Lawyers' Association to articles in THE WORLD and asked for an investigation. October 4-Three Judges returned from vacations and six Judges sat long hours in an effort to reduce the calendars.

October 7-Samuel Untermyer drafted a summary of the statistics which had been printed in THE WORLD, in the form of a resolution to be presented to the New York County Lawyers' Association.

October 8-The New York Lawyers' Association called on its Committee on Courts of Criminal -Procedure to begin an investigation. October 9-The General Sessions Judges called a meeting to plan how to meet the criticism directed against them. October 13-The District-Attorney's staff announced willingness to shorten its vacations to relleve conditions. The Committee on Courts of Criminal Procedure sent a letter to the Judges, inviting a conference. October 17-The Judges announced that they had a plan to relieve conditions.

October 21-The Judges submitted to the New York County Lawyers' Association a plan for

holding four parts of courts in Summer. instead of three, and for lengthening their daily sessions until 5 o'clock.

November 12-The Committee on Courts of Criminal Procedure wrote to the Judges approving this plan.

The new schedule will give the Judges about two months and two weeks' freedom from the bench each year. This is almost a month less than the Justices of the Supreme Court now have and a month less than the Sessions Judges had prior to this year. Indictments were ordered by the Grand Jury after that body investigated graft conditions on Blackwell's Island that had been exposed by THE WORLD. The indictments charged perjury against three men directly connected with furnishing supplies to the penitentiary workshop.

THE PULITZER STATUE OF JEFFERSON.

The statue of Thomas Jefferson, for which Joseph Pulitzer made provision in his will, was unvelled this year. It was the desire of Mr Pulitzer that the statue should "adorn some public place in New York, the foremost Democratic city of this new republic." The site chosen is before the School of Journalism that Mr Pulitzer established at Columbia University. The statue was unveiled on the university s commencement day. It was the work of William Ordway Partridge. The figure is nine feet in height, to which the pedestal and plinth add six feet more. On the front of the pedestal appears the single word.

On the rear:

JEFFERSON.

Presented by Joseph Pulitzer to the City of New York."

The statue stands in striking contrast with the figure of Hamilton, just across South Field. This, also, was the work of Mr. Partridge Hamilton reveals the fire of the orator, as Jefferson shows reflective repose. It was Jefferson, the thinker, that the sculptor set himself to portray.

SUNDAY WORLD ACTIVITIES.

SUNDAY WORLD activities on behalf of the school children continued through 1914. With pleasure it was noted there was growing interest in the competition for WORLD prizes given to competitors in the athletic events. The big city schools held field days to compete for the prizes. Nearly sixty thousand participated prior to the final meet. In this meet 1,500 boys, representing more than a hundred public schools. competed A great number of new school walking clubs were organized during the year. Hosts of children were awarded WORLD prizes for garden work. Seventyfour schools and nearly twenty-five thousand children comprised the year's enlistments for this work. THE EVENING WORLD S WORK FOR THE PUBLIC.

THE EVENING WORLD has kept up its fight during the year for lower telephone rates. With the first of the year this newspaper registered its New Year's resolution: "1914 shall see the speedy abolition of telephone tollgates and the establishment of a five-cent phone rate throughout Greater New York" The status at the first of the year of the fight of New Yorkers from telephone extortion was as follows:

New York City is paying higher rates than any other city in the United States.

New York is the only city that is compelled to pay additional toll charges for communication between boroughs within the city limits.

New York is being milked to support losing operations of the telephone company in other cities.

New York is contributing millions of dollars for the purchase of rival telephone companies throughout the State.

A few days after this statement appeared in THE EVENING WORLD the New York Telephone Company offered to reduce subscribers' charges 10 per cent pending the appraisal of its property. This proposal was accepted at a hearing before the Second District Public Service Commission. This meant à reduction of $2,250.000 a year, according to the estimate of Vice-President Frank H. Bethell.

Also the company frankly conceded that its New York patrons were entitled to lower rates. The rate voluntarily conceded by the company was a seven-cent rate. THE EVENING WORLD asked for a five-cent rate Time passed. The Public Service Commission dallied in the telephone matter. The Goldberg Five-Cent Phone bill was passed by the Assembly. THE EVENING WORLD wanted to know why the commission did not do its own work and order an appraisal of the New York Telephone Company's property preparatory to a reduction of rates. Mayor Mitchel and President McAneny of the Board of Aldermen at this juncture joined in the fight begun by THE EVENING WORLD. Both houses at Albany favored inserting in the Appropriation bills an item to provide for the expenses of the Second District Public Service Commission in valuing the New York Telephone Company's property in New York City as a basis for fixing new and equitable telephone charges. This was the next step, an important one. The appraisal of the telephone company's property began. but lags slowly. Civic organizations are joining with THE EVENING WORLD in the effort to hurry the telephone company into taking action. And THE EVENING WORLD iterates: "Whether through the Public Service Commission or through the Legislature, a five-cent phone for all New York must come."

FORT LEE FERRY FARES REDUCed.

The fight led by THE EVENING WORLD to reduce to three cents from five, the fare on the Fort Lee Ferry was won in time for the Summer travel to the cool country This ferry, which crosses the Hudson River from the foot of West One Hundred and Thirtieth Street to Edgewater, unites northern Manhattan and New Jersey. Cheaper ferry rates mean much to the New Jersey citizen and his wife as well as to the Manhattan shop owner. Cheaper transportation rates also meant a stimulus to property values on both sides of the river. The fifteen "Fighting Mayors" of New Jersey, the Harlem Board of Commerce, and other organizations were all working to one end-lower ferry fares. The work of THE EVENING WORLD for and with them was deeply appreciated by the citizens interested, their feeling being given expression by the Bergen County Improvement Association in the following resolution:

"We hereby express our thanks to THE NEW YORK EVENING WORLD for taking up the fight for a three-cent fare on the Fort Lee Ferry. We believe that great newspaper will have a powerful influence in winning a victory that will be of inestimable benent to the people of Eastern Bergen and the business men of New York City."

Victory rewarded THE EVENING WORLD'S campaign. The Bergen County Board of Freeholders ordered the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey to reduce the fare from five to three cents. the new rate to go into effect June 25.

The above table applies to ordinary years only. For leap year, one day must be added to each number of days after February 28.

EXAMPLE. To find the number of days between June 3, 1900, and February 16, 1901: The figures opposite the third day in the first June column are 154; those opposite the sixteenth day in the second February column are 412. Subtract the first from the second product-i. e., 154 from 412, and the result is 258, the number of days between the two dates.
