PERSIA'S GERMAN GRANT
 STIRS UP TROUBLE IN
 ANGLO-RUSSIAN CAMP
Especial from United Press.)


 St. Petersburg, May 25-The recent grant by Persia to the German firm of Huehnermann and Mossig of the right to establish regular navigation on Lake Urmiah has developed such a diplomatic tangle that the Anglo Russian agreement for the exclusion of other powers from rich concessions in Persia is in danger of collapse.
 Persia determined to checkmate Rus sia and England in their plan to con- trol Persian affairs has taken such firm stand in the Huehnermann and Mossig concession that Russia is afraid to order the cancellation of the concession. To permit the concession to stand, however, presents just as serious a menace. The foreign office is trying to adjust matters through correspondence with the German for eign office, but the latter is in no concilatory mood. It is feared here that Germany will follow up the Lake Urmiah concession by demanding rail- way rights in Persia which, if granted, would be fatal to Russia's plan for supervising, with Englands aid, the internal affairs of the Shah's coun- try.

PRES. MELLEN SAYS S150,OO0,OO0 NEEDED
 TO GET CONTROL
Denies Report That New Haven Road Passes Into Hands of
 PennSylvania

l New York. May 25-Samuel Req
 second vice president of the Pennsyl-
 vania Railroad Company. said in re-
 ferring to the report that the Penn sylvania had recently bought large
 interest in the New York. New Ha-
 ven & Hartford Railroad. that the Pennsylvania had no thought of ob- | taining control of the New Haven. He | said that the Pennsylvania bought some New Haven stock in the time of the late President A. J. Cassatt and that it had bought more stock since.
 The Pennsylvania has increased its stock holdings in the N. Y., N. H. &
 H. R. R. by 10000 or 5O.00o shares, | raising it's total ownership of New 900. President Mel1en of the New Haven denied the report that control of the road had passed or was soon to
 pass into the hands of the Pennsyl- vania.
 ''The idea is ridiculous" he said. Why, it is safe to say that a major ity interest could not be bought for less than $150,O00,0 900 at the least, and it is unlikely that the Pennsylvania or any other railroad would under
 take such a venture at the present time''
 The completion of the under-river tunnels and the rapid progress of work on the connecting railroad project have
 made the relations between the two
 roads even more intimate than they
 were before.
 Philadelphia, May 25.-Oficials of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
 ridicuae the suggestion that the com
 pany proposed acquiring or had ac-
 quired an important interest in the New York, New Haven & Hartford
 Railroad Company. It was admitted
 that the Pennsylvania Company ac-
 Quired an additional block of New Ha-
 ven stock about five months ago and
 that it sought to have an additional
 representative in the board of direc- tors of the latter company. This, it is said, will probably be accomplished when the next vacancy will occur. It was intimated by a Pennsylvania of flcial that this representative would be a traffic official of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
