ACCompIisheS His Purpose
Behind the Scenes.
Can Virtually Handle and Con-
troll B. & N. Affairs
Without Being Known by Public as
the Master Hand.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 1S.-As re
G;rds the statement that President
Charles S. Mellcn. of the New York,
New Haven d Hartford Railroad had
informed business men of Boston that
it was not his intention to press the
merger Of the Boston & Maine Road
with his own system while opposition
tn such course was evident, in Mas
SachuSettS. Il high railroad authority
today said that undoubtedly Mr. Mel
len had in mind the very prccariouS
state OF public opinion and the gen.
pr;ll drive against railroads at the pres
elit time.
III securing control of 10000 shares
Of the Poston & Maine Mr.. Mc,len had
accomplished his purpose in keeping
the road ont of the hands of others, nc
having sought control at the time the
New York Central was understood to
be after that road.
The same authority points out that
at the present time Mr.. Mcllen has no
actual control either over the operation
or the Management of the Boston II
Maine. his Sharch0liingS not giving
him the command although practically
preventing any OlneG power from Ult-
tating the policy Of that road.
such minority holdings in the first
place relieve Mr.. Melen of the rcspon-
sihility of the management in operat
ing and accountability for such a dis
astcr as that at Canaan and secondly
it does not compel him to spend large
sums for the development and improve
mcnt of backward lines in the Boston
& Maine system such as would be i'm
posed upon him if the Boston & Maine
MAS i physical part of the New Haven
system.
Moreover. this railroad authority
POINTS ont. the exchange of 12ooo0
shares of Boston & Maine stock into
New Haven Road stock, share for
share. is q completed transaction. the
exchange L"nefitting the holders to the
extent of per cent. in interest.
The failure to press the exchange Of
about 1N0.nO shares Of the Boston &
Maine means a saving of $1S0,00C n
wear in interest to the New Haven
Road, IN important item in its relation
to capital represented.
When there comes 4 pressing de-
nand for improvements on the Boston
& Maine system the change in public
sentiment will in a great measure re-
li,ve the situation, the complications in
Massachusetts politics having dsap-
pearcd by that time and in the opinion
of the railroad authority. MIR. Mellen
h?ving these facts in view has deemed
it wise to wait for such change as to
mako the public opinion with him in
stead Of in opposition to the physical
completion of the merger.
