MELLEN IN A HUFF
WHEN HE WAS oUIZZED.
Railroad President Explains the Re-
port of His Retirement.

Boston, Sept 14.-President Charles
S. Mellen of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad in a formal
statement gives his version of the man
ner in which the report of his retire
ment gained circulation. He denies
there is any basis of fact for that ru-
NOR, and SAYS that he has no inten-
ton of esigning. Mr.. Mellen also de-
nies that there is in sight any possible
reason for anticipating a reduction in
the New Havcn's s per cent. dividend.
Mr.. Mellen's statement was dictated
by him. The statement is in part as
follows:
Some day last week there was re-
ceived by Mr.. Mellen through the
roads press department an article
from a. newspaper which for reasons
THAI will occur to all. he does not wish
to name, full of insinuation and innu-
endo regarding his connection with
the New Haven railroad, and stating
that his early retirement from the
presidency was g. foregone conclusion.
or words to similar effect
"This article was presented to him
with the request from the paper that
he affirm or otherwise the report of
his retirement.
"He wrote upon the request that he
was to retire, but the date was not yet
fixed
"He believed this was a statement
the real meaning of which was per-
fectly transparent as in the very ma
tlfre of things he must retire some
time.
.tMr. Mellen further says that he
was on the road, extremely busy, and
nettled at the article which he regard
ed as malicious, and the request for a,
statement, under the circumstances, he
deemed impertinent.
"He regrets if people have been mis-
led, for it was far from his disposition
to be party to any deception
President !Mellen later sent out the
following statement concerning the abb
sence of General Manager Higgins:
"Mr. Higgins has not resigned as
general manager of the New Haven
road. but has been given leave of alb
sence at his own request until De-
cember 81, 1911.
TT is only fair to say, however, that
Mr.. Higgins wished to resign, but
tried to persuade him not to do so, and
he has consented to hold the matter in
aIbeyance until a later date when he
will advise me of his ultimate decis-
ion.
Mr.. Higgins had trouble enough of
a personal nature to make a much
stronger man want to be relieved, but
among all his other troubles he has
had none with his president, and will
carry with him wherever he goes my
earnest good wishes for all that makes
Tor his happiness and prosperity"

54th Birthday
Of President
TAFT TO OBSERVE 1T BY START
ING ON WESTERN TRIP.
LEAVES BEVERLY. TONIGHT
Tour Expected to Have an Influence
on His Political Future-The Tariff
to be Main Topic of His Addresses.

Beverly Mass. Sept 14-President
Taft leaves Beverly tomorrow on his
second swing around the circle. In the
opinion of many Of his friends the trip
promises to be one of the most impor-
tant ever undertaken by a chief execu-
tive. He himself has said that he will
indulge in but little political discus
sion, but it is admitted that oppor-
tunity for such discussion will not
merely be offered but probably will be
thrust upon him.
viii Accept Gage of Battle
That he would~accept the gage Of
battle if some 'heckler'' in his audi
ences threw it on the platform is hard
ly doubted. That the presidents polit-
ical fortunes may depend to some ex-
tent on the outcome of this journey is
agreed to by many men close to the
administration.
Last Trip Two Years Ago.
Two years ago tomorrow the presi-
dent started from Beverly on his first
cross continental trip since he had en-
tered the White House. He had been
six months in office and the Payne
Aldrich tariff law had been five weeks
on the statute books On that trip
he delivered his famous address at
Winona Mimi. defense of the law
on which most of the criticism of the
administrations tariff policy had been
DdS6Q. On the -l1SL sIOT the DTeSenl
journey the president has set down
'.the tariff and "tha tariff board as
two subjects for set addresses.
Vetoes Will Be Discussed
His vetoes of the wool bill. the cot
ton bill and the farmers free list bill
have not been set aside for separate
speeches. but that they will be dealt
with in the two general addresses is
highly probable. The tariff may prov e
after all the leading topic although
that is not the presidents plan.
Today His 54th Birthday.
Tomorrow will be his 54th birthday
and he plans to spend the day quietly S
on the links at Myopia and at Parra-
malta He will start for Boston by
motor about o'clock. Mrs. Taft prob
ably will go with him to Boston, but
will return to Beverly. She expects
to remain in Beverly through October.
