Six former Premiers will be Included
In the personnel of the new French Cab
inet, whlta virtually all of those men
tioned as having consented to become
members of the Brland Ministry have
served with previous Cabinets.
The dominant llgures of tho new French
ministry will undoubtedly be Aristlde
Uriano, the Prcmlir, nnd the new Min
ister of War. General Gallienl.

Paris and had proven his ability by his
ntiie administration of the city. He

striking a tremendous blow which turned
the Gorman rlnnk and saved Paris during
the rattle of tho Marne. He Is u .u'ldler
and net a politician.

Hx-Premler Vlvlanl may consent to re
main In the Cabinet, bb his policies are
snld to accord In a great measure with
those of his confreres.

NEW YOnK. Oct. . Judge Hunt, In
the I'nltcd States District Court today,
dealt a severe blow to the New Haven
defendants when ho declared the court
would let In nil evidence concerning tne
New Havcn'ji dabbling In electrlo lines
In New Kngland, whether they wero In
terstate lines or not.
Tho ruling enmo when tho dofense ob
jected to r letter read by the Govern
ment concerning tho acquisition by the
New Haven of a 10-mllo strip of trolley
line running from Mcrldcn to Naug&tuck
In Connecticut to shut oil competition
from a proposed electric line paralleling
the New Haven.
The letter tended to show how the New
Haven directors left no stone unturned
to choke off all electric ns well as rail
nnd water competition In New Kngland.
Todav the Government entered Into the
third stago of New Haven's "expansion
period" under Charles S. Mcllcn-lts swal
lowing up of trolley lines, Alrcndy the
prosecution has Bhown how tho New
Haven absorbed the rail and water trans
portation facilities of New England.
The defense objected to the Connecticut
electric lino evidence on tho ground that
It was not an Interstate line.
"The Court," Bald Judge Hunt, In over
rullnir tho nhloctlon. "will admit all evi
dence tending to show the acquisition by
the Now Haven of property to prevent
competttlen, whether electric or steam or
water. The New Haven Is nn Interstate
system, and If these acts nllegcd Bhow a
conspiracy to prevent Interstate compe
tition, the evidence Is competent.
Tho prosecution received Its first severe
Jolt when Judge Hunt ruled out ovldcnco
that John iX. Halt, who succeeded Charles
P. Clark as president of the New Haven
entered Into negotiations with "blind
boss" Brayton, of Rhode Island, tb pre
vent tho Central Railway and Electric
Company, of New Britain, from building
a trolley line paralleling the New Haven.
It was Judge Hunt's flrst Important
ruling against tho Government.
The Government had sought to prove by
a series of letters from Hall to Brayton
that the former had said the New Haven
wanted "killed off" a bill In the Legisla
ture against trolley lines paralleling steam
railroads.
"Wo want no more such measures If It
can be helped," one of the letters said.
Tho bill was amended to provide that
no electric line should parallel a steam
lino "unless the public welfare de
mand it."
TWO HELD AS GEM THIEVES
Prisoners, It Is Charged, Broko Into
South Street Jewelry Storo
Two men, arrested at the point of re
volvers and accused of breaking Into nnd
robbing the Jewelry store of J. Ff InBoId,

Rich Man, Poor Man
By MAXIMILIAN FOSTER
Author of "The Whistling Man"
IMAGINE a pretty, vivacious girl of unknown parentage,
brought up on charity in a cheap boarding-house, in
structed only by little Mr. Mapy, a broken-down book
keeper, turning out to be the Granddaughter of Old Beeston,
the richest man in New York !
That was what happened to Bab Wynne. Imagine the
extraordinary situation further complicated by her falling
heels over head in love with the star boarder, young Varick,
whose father had been ruined in Wall Street by Beeston.
And then imagine young Varick's emotions when he found
himself in love with Bab, one of this family on whom he had
vowed eternal vengeance.
This is just the beginning of a swiftly moving story, full of
quick turns, jolting surprises and happy outcomes.
