SELLS TROLLEY LINES Fearing State Control Disposes of Its Holdings. SIX HUNDRED MILES GIVEN OVER Seventy-five Per Cent of the Street Railways of " Connecticut and Many in Massachusetts and Rhode Island Included., Boston. Trolley lines are no lng er a part of the assets of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail road. It was announced that the railroad company had disposed of its entire group of trdlley lines to a vol untary association. v The new -voluntary' association which now owns the trolley systems is-to be known, according to . report, as the New England Security- and In vestment Company, and is composed of a number-of individuals .who are,' without much doubt, not unfriendly to the railroad interests. It is un derstood that the sale or transfer in-r voli-es all the road's trolley holdings. This means about 600 miles of com pleted trolley lines- in Connecticut, Massachusetts, . Rhode Island and New York State. The lines in Connecticut form the largest group, for fully seventy-five -per cent, of the entire street railway system in that State belongs virtually to the New York,- New Haven and. Hartford Railroad, ' including, the -street railways of Hartford, Willi ,mantic, New London, New Haven, Bridgeport, Stamford and Norwich, not to mention' numerous other "towns. In Massachusetts the hold ings included the systems in Spring field and Worcester, the Berkshire Street Railway.-and the Worcester and South Bridge Street Railway and -the Worcester and Black Stone Street Railway. These systems were held by the Consolidated Street Railways Company, which was owned by the JNew Haven. ,; The transaction is evidently the outcome of the agitation over the so called merger bill in the Legislature last session. President Mellen told the legislative committee at that time that if the people of this State did not want the railroad to. hold trolley lines the railroad would bow to the popular will. The merger bill was defeated and Immediately afterward Attorney General Malone sent a draft'of a bill to the Legislature which he jsaid would operate to cause the New Ha ven to divest itself of its trolleys. Governor Guild also sent a special message to the Legislature congratu lating it on the defeat of the merger bill, and characterizing the present Tailroad system in Massachusetts as unjust and inequitable, and saying that the control of Massachusetts transportation was slowly but surely passing from Massachusetts to aliens. The committee on street railways thereupon recommended that the le gality of the New Haven's holdings in Massachusetts trolley systems be tested in court. The New Haven management pro tested that the trolley acquisitions in Massachusetts of the Consolidated Street Railways Company had at all times been in conformity with the Massachusetts laws. New Haven, Conn. This state ment was made by President Mellen at his summer home in Stockbridge, Mass., over the telephone to his office here : , "The transaction involved the sale of over seventy-five per cent, of the street railways of Connecticut,- in cluding systems in the cities of New London, New Haven, Bridgeport, Norwich, Stamford, Hartford, Willi mantic and other towns in Connecti cut, together with lines running into New York State and Rhode Island and numerous lines in Massachusetts, including systems in the cities of Springfield and Worcester FREE LUNCH UNFIT.

CHELSEA, MASS., BANK SHUT The First National Wrecked by Favors to Officers. Big Loans to Officers Caused Failure, According to Report of Examiner Ewer to the Comptroller. j Washington, D. C. T. P. Kane, acting Comptroller of the Currency, received advices by ,wire from Na : tional Bank Examiner Ewer at Bos- ton that the First National Bank, of j Chelsea, Mass., had been closed by I action of the directors. Examiner Ewer its been', appointed, receiver. The failure cf this bank is due to large, excessive loans to officers and directors of the bank. f Chelsea, Mass. The information ' given by Bank Examiner Ewer to the Comptroller of the Currency at Wash j ington, in connection with the fail ure of the First National Bank, of Chelsea, was that the collapse was due to excessive loans made to officers and directors of the bank. It became known tha the princi pal factor in . the suspension of the hank was a large indebtedness on the part of its president, Sylvester B. Hinckley. -This indebtedness is un officially estimated at "rom $300,000 to $500,000, but statements maae by directors of the bank indicate th:t President Hinckley has transferred i to the institution his equity in large real estate holdings, which, iti is .ex pected, will provide for the payment in full of all depositors. . President Hinckley is said to be dangerously ill at his home in New ton. On Saturday last he was unable to. place his signature to the papers transferring his property to the bank, and it was necessary for him to re sort to making his mark upon the document- This proceeding was, le galized by the witnessing signatures of his wife and son. It is said that Mr. Hinckley has not been able to be a. the bank for four weeks. - Developments indicated that Mr. Hinckley was involved in extensive real estate transactions, from which he expected to realize great profits. The director most active in bring ing affairs to a crisis was Thomas Martin, a former president of the bank, who, in an interview said that recently he discovered evidence of unbusinesslike methods, and started an investigation. This disclosed the fact that papers held by the bank i were not what Mr. Martin considered strictly commercial. He said that 1 the signatures in some cases "needed explaining." Mr. Martin also stated that suffi cient property had been transferred by Mr. Hinckley to the bank to in sure the payment of depositors In full. NEW G. A. R. COMMANDER. itor of Zanesville Courier.

C, THURSDAY. AUG 0 ST PULAJAIS OF LEYIE, TO BE EXTERMINATED . Gen. Wood Commands Expedition to Punish Them. OFFICERS KILLED WITH B0L0S Bandit Leaders to Receive the Ex treme Penal ty-Farmer Recruits to Be Treated Leniently Gov ernor Ide's New Plan. Manila, P. I. Governor Ide re turned, after a conference at Taclo ban, Islahd . of Leyte, with Major General ? Wood? Brigadier-General Lee, Governor De Veyra, fifteen pres identes and Colonel Taylor, of the constabulary. The presidentes promised to sun port the American authorities and to furnish information that will lead to the extermination of the Pulajaues. There are, various causes for Pu lajanism in the Island of Leyte, dat ing" back to Spanish times. The dis arming of the municipal police by Governor De Veyra, his political op ponents say, caused the recent dis turbances. It is asserted that had the late First Lieutenant John F. James, of the English Infantry, posso&sed cor rect information he would not have gone out with a small force. The fight occurred In the darkness and the troops were the victim of a bolo rush of superior numbers, dur ing which their rifles were of no use. The bodies of Lieutenant James, Con tract Surgeon Calvin D. Snyder, Pri vates William J. Gillick and Mathies Zeck have been buried at Tacloban. P Governor Ide has decided to ap point a commission consisting of Gov ernor De Veyra, General Lee, Colonel Taylor and three presidentes to visit the disaffected districts tnd hold meetings of the town councils to im press the people with the necessity of co-operation in exterminating the Pu lajanes. The outlaw band numbers about 100, and is" being greatly increased by forcing peaceful farmers to par ticipate in raids, threatening them with death if they refuse. These re cruits are armed with, bolo, a3 the real Pulajanes do not trust them with guns. A special term of the court has been ordered at Taclohcn o try the prisoners. It is understood that the leaders will get the extreme penalty of the law, but that the misguided natives will be dealt with leniently. - Governor, Ide and General Wood consider that the situation Is well in hand and expect no further lighting. It is probable, however, th.it addi tional troops will be pu. in the field temporarily, to establish mountain garrisons. The hotbed of the dis turbances covers an area .approxi mately thirty by twenty miles. Mar tial law is deeined. unnecessary, for General Lee is practically in control. SCORES ARE SLAIN IN POLAND.

Column Three Heurs Passing Re viewing Stand Delegations From Many States. Minneapolis, Minn. The men of the Grand Army-of the Republic par aded here. The dd , soldiers were greeted by cheers that drowned the roar and crash of -their many bands. tThe streets were filled with specta tors, and during the progress of the parade the streets were packed sol idly. " At the head of the column and behind the. police came the Cook Band and DrunT"Corps," of Denver. The "twenty-two young women who form a drill corps and are a portion of the Cook organization were espe cial favorites with the multitude, and were given a continuous ovation dur ing the parade. Next came the chief marshal of the parade, ex-Governor Van Sant, and his chief of staff, General Fred B. Wood, Adjutant-General of Minne sota, who was followed by regimental and staff officers of the Minnesota National Guard. This comprised the escort of-the Grand Army, and then, marching in even ranks, with their formation superbly kept throughout, the parade, came the first of the old soldiers, the Columbia Post, of Chi cago, acting as the personal escort of Commander-in-Chief Tanner. This organization has made a record at many previous ; encampments. Its showy uniforms of dark olive green and its marching won great applause.

New Jersey and Maine marched next, each with a fair-sized representation, and then came the first of the far Western States, California and Nevada being massed together as their men were few in number. Then New England came to the front once more with the men from Rhode Island, New Hamp shire and Vermont. Vermont was especially well represented, and many members of the famous old "Vermont Brigade" being in the line. Maryland had a small" representation, and then came long ranks of the Western soldiers of the Armies pf the Cumberland and of the Tennes see, marching under the banners of Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Kentucky. 'On the last of the line was Minnesota, which naturally was present in heavy force; its soldiers received the most hearty greeting as they closed. the long line.

There continues confusion of state ments as to the magnitude of the disaster to Valparaiso caused by the earthquake shocks which began on Thursday, August 16, and continued at frequent intervals throughout that and the next two days. Dispatches from Valparaicp to the Associated Press state that a moder ate estimate of the fatalities is 2,000 and that the property loss may be as high as $250,000,000, which latter is as great as the loss sustained by San Francisco in consequence of the earth quake and ; fire devastated that city last April. A refugee who has arrived at Santi ago places the known Valparaiso dead at 100, and other messages in dicate that first reports of damages and casualties were greatly exagger ated. Dispatches to the. State De partment at Washington place the fatalitie's at about 500. These con flicting statements cannot at this time be adjusted. It is" evident that even yet confusion and panic prevail at Valparaiso and until order is restored it will be impossible to ascertain with accuracy the loss to life and prop erty. The dwellings in the city have been practically abandoned by the in habitants, who are existing as best they can in the plazas and streets of the city and the hills adjacent to it, without shelter from, storm and sun and with famine : confronting them. Food is already ' scarce and high, water for drinking 'purposes is lacking, and disease is. feared. The government is doing aU it can to bring in relief. The crippling of the railroads leading into Valparaiso con tinues a factor in the situation for an indefinite period: Relief supplies can only be obtained through other menas of transportation; the seaboard J n-pf-Alr 4.1 I 1 -Oil ouuiuiug me uest oi tnese. At Santiago many, of the best pub lic and private buildings were wreck td. The loss of life there was aug mented by the panic which seized the people, many of whom'; threw them selves fro mthe . balconies of their homes. The destructive force of the earthquake was experienced over a large extent of ..the. country, many, towns- sustaining serious damage. ",r . Tacts About' ValpitraisK . . The capital of the province of Val paraiso, Chile, and the chief seaport of the republic, is situated on a base of the Pacific, 68 miles (llfi miles by rail) west northwest of Santiago, with which it is connected by rail. The older and business portion of the city extends along the shore of the bay, while on the slope of the sur rounding hills are the finer residence subburbs. Vina del Mar, a feAv miles to the east, i? a noted suburb and sea shore resort. Valparaiso enjoys a mild and equable climate, the average temperature being 5S degrees F., the average for January 63 decrees and or July 53. The average annual rainfall is about 13.5 inches. The town has some well constructed streets, and a square with many monu ments. The more important monu ments induce statues of Columbus, Uilham Wheelright, who built the first railroad in. South America, Tho mas Cochrane (tenth Earle of Dun-donald)-, who organized the Chilean navy, and a fine monument to the navy, surmounted by a statue of Ad miral Pratt.

NO. 2. CHINESE PIRATES SEIZE VESSELS AND LOOT THEM British Lighter With Valuable Cargo Boarded by Coolies. ROBBER HELD FOR TORTURE Ship Taken Crew Overpowered by Native ' Passengers, Who Then Set About Killing ihe Whites Pursuit Begun. Victoria, B. C AdvJces brought here by Captain Robinson and offi-; cers of . the Canadian Pacific steam ship Mopteagle say ih&t daring pii acy is being practiced i along the China coast. ' . .. . At Kobe an armed party of coolies boarded a large cargo lighter filled with valuable freight for India for shipment by the steamship China, overpowered those on board, pulled the lighter out of. the harbor, looted it and set it adrift. While the British coasting steam ship Sainam, Joslin master, was en route to Canton by the West River, and at a point just below Samshiu, eighty of the native passengenp at a given signal took possession ibf the ship, all being provided with fire arms. They terrorized the native crew and would have put to death all the whites on board but for the pres ence of mind of Captain Joslin and Chief Engineer McTavish. These two, with an East Indian quartermaster, were running the steamship with a coolie crew, and were the only for eigners on board, with the exception of Dr. McDonald, a medical mission ary of the Wesleyan Mission in Wu chow. Captain, engineer and missionary were enjoying an after-dinner smoke and- chat when the pirates took charge, the first intimation of trou ble being revolver shots and, the sight of the Indian quartermaster holding the horde at bay with a heavy oar, with which he knocked over half a dozen before he was shot. In attempting to rescue the quar termaster Captain Joslin was shot in the chest.' McDonald and McTavish dragged him into the dining saloon, which was hastily barricaded and held until windows were broken in and a raking revolver fire directed upon the three whites, who hadtak en shelter under the dining table. In making a dash for the upper deck Dr. McDonald was shot through the head and instantly killed. Mc Tavish gained the engine room and secreted himself above the boilers, .where he was undiscovered, although he narrowly escaped being burned to death. Captain Joslin, weak from his wound, could not flee, and threw himself upon the floor as if dead. The robbers stripped, him and left him with a parting kick. The crew were robbed and beaten or killed if resistance was offered. '' The pirates then made 'Off ih' fivje'' native boats waiting at th.elren'dez vous. The Chinese pilot tooljE the ship to Samshiu, where the affair was reported ,to Commander Vaughan, of the Bri'Ish cruiser Moorhen, which within an hour started on the trail of the pirates. One of the pirates has..-,since been taken and the Chinese authorities purpose to torture him until he di vulges the names ot the leaders. FAST TRAIN KILLS FOUR BOYS.
