Is as follows.

Limited Business Hours

these hours at least 7SF Of the cable

NO MELLEN RESIGNATION
J. II. Billiard Says New Haven Dlrec
tors Expect No Such Step


Meriden, Conn, Sept 13.-John L.
Billiard, a director Of the New York
New Haven and Hartford railroad, re-
turned today from trip he took over
the Maine Central railroad lines in
company with other directors and Pre-
sident Charles s. Mellen.
Mr.. Billiard declared all the newspa-
per deductions about Mr. Mellen's res
ignation were amusing.
80 far as know" he said, there
is nothing in the report that Mr.. Mel
len intends to resign from the presi-
dency. | am quite sure that all the
directors who were on the inspection
tour do not anticipate any such action
on his part. and we we're with him
all the time.
"All the directors OF the road es-
TEEN him very highly and would GER
tainly be surprised II he resigned"
said Mr.. Billiard in answer to the ques.
ton. us Mr. Mellens resignation ex-
pected at the next directors meet
ing?"
Speaking for himself. Mr.. Billiard
added that he had the highest regard
for Mr. Mellen as a man and as presi-
dent of the New Haven road, and he
would regret to see Mr.. Mellen resign
and he believed all the directors
would concur with him.
He expressed surprise on learning
that the press department had taken
the responsibility for the statement
that Mr.. Mellen would resign. He
denied that there was any friction be-
tween ]. Pierpont Morgan and Mr. Mel
len and said they had not seen each
other since November. All the talk,
he said, must be taken with grain OF
salt.

Monopoly of Gable
Business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control OF various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Macksy System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
transatlantic cable business:
I-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and eeonom-
ieal working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
a-PUBLIC ADVANTAGES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now unutilized. II will
continue 10 lie dormant and unu,ilized
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means Of new kinds
Of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic
cable companies.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1911-09-15

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Cable
Company and the Direct U. S. Gable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each ether and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and economi-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of neu
forms of service to the adUantage Of
the public.

Dressing Your Hair
For the Evening.

From style and Fashion NfagazineD
Frequently. after the days work
or pleasure. there Is little time TO
dress the hair for the evening. For
occasions like this. il is well to be
prepared with the ever-ready and con
venient dry shampoo.
"A most excellent shampoo is made
by mixing four ounces OF therox with
four ounces OF orris root Keep some
OF this in an old talcum box with
SITTER top. so that you can sprinkle IL
thinly and evenly through the hair.
Brush the hair thoroughly and a
clean scalp and beautiful lustrous
hair can be achieved in less than
twenty minutes.
Nothing is so good as this mixture
TO quickly remove the days dust. II
should be remembered. too, that
much water is not good for the hair
and frequent washing takes out the
life and color"
