THAT TROLLEY PURCHASE
President Mellen Talks About the
 New Haven Acquisition.

The New Haven Sunday Register says:
 In answer to the question, MT Mel- len stated yesterday:
 Ut is an entirely erroneous impress sion that the control of the Fair Haven and Westville Go was purchased on
 account of any supposed competition with the Consolidated railroad. 1.-The purchase was because of the
 conviction in the minds of the director
 ate Of the New Haven company that there was a large transportation busi-
 ness in the territory served by its
 steam lines that could be better and
 more economically handled by means
 of a comprehensive trolley system, and
 the nucleus or basis for such system seemed to be in the Fair Haven and
 Westville Co, in preference to any
 other.
 'sSo far from attempting to smother
 the road in any way, the policy will
 be to develop the trolley system to the fullest extent possible, disregarding
 the interest of the steam lines in the
 territory in which the two roads oper-
 ate. and in proof of this 1t may be
 stated negotiations are now in progress
 looking to the building of m additional track upon the New Haven and NOrTnampI0u cOHIdHy l1Ile uelWteH Mt Carmel and Cheshire. which addi- tional track may be used by the Fair Haven and Westville Go. which may also use the Meriden, Middletown and Waterbury line, so that within no great while the New Haven trolley system may be running it's own cars between New Haven green and the site of the proposed union station in the city of Waterbury. Cars may also run from New Haven to Meriden and Middle town.
 s"This covers the development under contemplation for the immediate fu- ture, but other plans for further exten- sions are being considered which will
 be announced later
 ''This ought to be sufficient to con
 vince al that the interests of the troll ley system acquired by the New Ha-
 ven road will be developed to the full
 est extent and there should be no fear
 dn the part of the public that the new
 control will have any lack of disposi- tion to develop it's new acquisition in every way possible"

ATTORNEYS ARGUE.
Row Over the Patent Needle Loom
 Drew Out Some Hot Talk.

During the arguments in the district court Saturday afternoon ill the inc junction case of George Cummings oe Chefry street against Stephen E. Cann Ill Which the rights to patent needle loom are involved, several accusations were made by both sides to the con tention. Mir Cummings asks to have MT Cam permanently enjoined from organizing stock company to build the machine, though he was promised or guaranteed $10,0OO worth of stock Ill the company.
 Attorney Wood, appearing for MT Cummings, said Cann's promise did not amount to row of pins for he could not keep that agreement. How could he secure for MT Cummings SIUOOO worth of stock in a company ill which he would have no financial interests himself ? There was nothing to prevent MT Cam from selling this patent outright to a company and leaving Mir Cummings in the lurch. MT Cam could never deliver the goods. How could he? Assuming Cam did organize q company, the company would recognize him only so far as the matter of a stipulation for the patent was concerned How could Cam give him $10,O0O worth of stock Ill company of which be was only the organizer And again, why did not MT Cam organize this company SIX months ago as he had agreed ? In all that time he saw only four persons about the matter, MT Schaffer, super intendent of the rubber mills in Naugatuck, r. E. Rice, T. H. Hayes and Archie Lord, of the Manufacturers National bank, and only one of these c rlfn fral sy. Gs, 14x., 1 Schaf fer.
 k Cam said Mir Cummings could have his patent back if he failed to organize the company. Has he not failed asked MT Wood and his reasons for failing were that he had a law suit on his hands. and that the price of cotton was too high. These reasons were trade excuses. Cam gets every thing and Cummings nothing. Mir Cummings and the company were only parties who could appraise the value. of the machine and the only way that Cummings could be protected was to continue the injunction
 MT Seery. counsel for Cam, said tho only way Cummings could be protect ed now was to have his agreement with Mir Cam recorded in the patent office in Washington. Until lately MT Cummings considered his patent worthless, now he sees it is of some value how much no one can say at present, and seeing that it is of some value, or at least thinking it is, he undertakes to steal 1t from MT Cam. MT Cummings has had 1t at honA lying around worthless for a number of years. He asked MT Cam to form q company in thirty days. The ma- chine is complete now, but it would not be so but for MT Cam. who de- clined anything to do with the patent until he should see it working, and ac- cordingly MT Cummings built one and after seeing 1t working he had it where he never had it before. It was built from castings made at MT Cann's expense and is now ready for the market It may be worth millions, or it may not, but it appears to be worth something and Mir Cum mings wants it all and asks the court to restrain MT Cam by an injunction from having anything more to do with it.
 Decision was reserved.

BATTLING MYSTERY.
Murder of Mabel Page at Weston Still
 UnsOlyed.

f WESTON, Mass, April 4.-AlthougA three days have elapsed since Miss Ma bel Page was murdered at her fathers home in this town and rewards aggre- gating $2,500 have been offered for the detection of her slayer, the mystery appears more baf1ing than ever.
 Some one with whom she was per- sonally acquainted some one in whom she had confidence-is believed to have been the murderer of Miss Page, whose body was hacked in dozen places by knife.
 She was standing in front of mir TOT in her bedroom, putting on her hat when she was attacked. Directly back of the mirror was the only door to the room, and she must have seen her slayer enter. Medical experts who have examined her body say the first wound Miss Page received was stab i1 the back. Had the person who en- tered the room been stranger, the police argue, Miss Page would have rushed from the mirror, as when she was struck down she was only partly dressed.
 Everything about the room seems to prove that there was no struggle be- tween the murdered girl and her as- sassin. Not even a chair was over turned, although there were sew al between the door and the mirror. Be fore she went to the room to dress she had been told that her brother Harold had been injured md was in the Massachusetts General hospital
 General Jophanus H. Whitney of the state police, who is in charge of the in- vestigation, has stated that no devel- opments which would point to a possi- ble solution of the case have yet come out. The case seems to be the most mysterious that has confronted the police in Massachusetts in many years.
 Since it was determined that Miss Page was murdered and not the vic tim of suicidal impulse neither mo- tive nor clew has been established Several theories have been advanced, but all that were ill any way promising have been disproyed.
 The police still believe that the crime was committed by some one acquaint- ed with the habits of the Page family, but all the members of the household have accounted satisfactorily for every moment of their time on the day of the tragedy.
 All day long curious persons loitered in the vicinity of the Page home on South avenue. The police, however, kept the crowds moving, and entrance to the premises was forbidden.
 A thorough search of the woods and fields in the vicinity of the house has been made by the police in futile eff fort to find the weapon used by the murderer.

It Is ex- pected that the rate will be slightly higher than last year. For the cur rent school year $1,700 was appropri- ated, but it has been found that this sum is insufficient. All the approprfa- ton has been spent and ten weeks of the school year still remain. Money will have to be borrowed to pay the expenses of tho remaining ten weeks. The expenses this year have been un- usually heavy, owing to the fact that a new furnace had ito be installed In the school building, the school had to be painted and the salaries of one or two of the teachers increased.
