Washington. h. C. April 12.-Inci- dental to the consideration of the ad ministration railroad bill. the merger of the Boston and Maine road with the New York. New Haven & Hart ford. through the Massachusetts hold ing law. was discussed at length in the senate today.
 The principal speech attacking the consolidation in unstinted language was made by Mir. LaFollette. and con- stunned the larger part of the day. There were brief responses by Messrs Lodge and GaIlinger. made at the close of the Wisconsin senator's speech Both the New England senators de- tended the merger and upheld the state law under which it was made.
 Mir LaFollette presented the trans action-in great detail to illustrate the possible effect of the enactment into law of the merger provision of the pending railroad bill He traced the consolidation from the beginning. but gave tSpttld. dNltlitlph t' lic SiaS'd chusetts legislation under which the combination was effected.
 It was practically charged by the senator that the enactment had been Consummated at the dictation of Pres ident Mellen of the New Haven road. who. he intimated, represented the Morgan Rockefeller interests. He quoted from a member of the Massa- chusetts legislature the statement that Governor Draper responded to an ultimatum from the New Haven in tereSts.
 He. undertook to show that the fed erai merger suit. instituted during the Roosevelt administration had been dismissed at the dictation of Attorney General Wickersham under the Taft administration for the inadequate req son that the Massachusetts legisla- ture had passed the holding bill under which the consolidation was effected.
 The argument covered a wide range of accusation, the evident purpose be- ing to contrast the Taft administration with that of Roosevelt. MT. .aFol- lette's criticism of Wickersham was stringent and Messrs Lodge and Gal finger were just as positive in his de- fense
