NORSE'S HOUSE IN DEAL
Jntermyer and Astor Mentioned
as Possible Purchasers-Years
of Pounding by Retail Mer-
chants Said To Be Cause
of Record Price
Transfer.

The Whitney mansion at the south
vest corner of 51th street and Fifth
syenue, together with the former c.
W. Morse house, No. 72S Fifth ave-
nue., adjoining, has been sold to an in
restor. The purchase price was about
g o5OOO0, at which figure tn, prop
srty was valued by Harry Payne Whit
new. the seller. Worthington White
house represented Mr.. Whitney and
Frank d. WELLER the buyer in the
transaction.
There were many rumors regarding
the buyer. One was that he was Vim
cent Astor. Another that the investor
is Samuel Untermyer.
The combined parcels contain about
1850 square feet. Consequently, the
price paid a square foot is $50, which
establishes a new high record mark
for property in this section.
Opened for Trade.
Title TO both the Whitney site and
adjoining parcel will be transferred
without any restrictions. This means
nothing more or less than the passing
OF the premises from residential land
marks to the choice retail trade class.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, mother -in-law of
Harry Payne Whitney, who occupies
the opposite corner of 51th street and
Fifth avenue, was said some months
ago TO be opposed to letting trade get
entrenched at 9th street and Fifth
avenue, when the Whitney house was
offered for lease. The Whitney house
was to be had for residential purposes
and for no other use.
"As long as Mrs. Vanderbilt lives
land she intends 10 occupy the Van
derbilt mansion at 57th street per-
manently as her homeJ I will not go
contrary TO her wishes in having busi-
ness opposite her." Harry Payne Whit
ney was quoted as saying.
II was then thought that the expan-
sion Of retail trade in 57th street could
possibly be held in check for a good
many years at least. But of late there
have been many indications that COM
mercial forces were threatening to up
set the plans of those anxious to con-
serve the home charms of the thor
oughfare. Almost every week over
lures to buy the Whitney and Morse
parcels were received by Mr.. White
house, the realty representative OF
Harry Payne Whitney. Finally 1t was
decided TO place the property in the
sales market clear of all restrictions.
Mrs. Vanderbilt readily gave her
consent to the sale OF the premises so
that the buyer could do what he wanted
with H." said a real estate man. who is
eonyersant with the details Of this
spectacular investment last night to

cd" he added, that a satisfactory
buyer was quickly found and that there
is not much difference between the
asking and sale price. 1t is an all
cash sale"
Mr.. whitehouse, who represented
Harry Payne Whitney, said last night
after confirming a report of the sale of
the properties: II am not at liberty to
iell you the name of the buyer. His
name may remain unknown for years.

Federal Grand Jury Examines
Private Secretary of New
Haven'S President on
Grand Trunk Deal.
SCOPE OF INQUIRY WIDENS
Confidential Employe of Head of
Canadian Road Also Asked
About Agreement to
Divide Traffic in
New England.

The private secretaries of Charles s.
Melen. president Of the New York.
New Haven & Hartford Railroad and
f. j. Chamberlin, president of the
Grand Trunk Railway were examined
yesterday before the federal grand jury
in the governments inquiry into the
Grand Trunk-New Haven agreement
and the traffic conditions in New Eng
land.
The presence OF these two witnesses
was taken as a further proof of the
governments determination to obtain
the evidence sought without calling, or
even inviting, the testimony Of either
Mr.. Mellen or MIR. Chamberlin. Mr..
Mellen's demand 10 have his offer for
voluntary appearance submitted TO the
grand jury remained without action
and it was positively stated that he
would not appear to-day and probably
would not get an opportunity TO tell his
story TO the grand jury.
Il. A. Dugan. private secretary TO Mr.
Mellen, was questioned on facts con-
cerning the Grand Trunk-New Haven
agreement as he might have obtained
knowledge of it through the CORE
spondence between his chief and Mr..
Chamberlin that passed through his
hands. y. Kinsella, private secretary
to Mr.. Chamberlin, was then submit
ted TO a close examination.

Scope OF Inquiry Brosdens.

The day was marked with an in
crease in the activity OF government
officials connected with the investiga-
tion. Henry A. Wise, United States
Attorney, who thus far had not taken
an active part in the proceedings, re-
mained away from his office on busi-
ness connected with the investigation.
II was said that Mr.. Wise had gone TO
Boston to confer with United States
Attorney French.
Mr.. Adkins and Mr.. Cutler, aided by
investigators of the Department Of
Justice and the Interstate Commerce
Commission, continued their cxamina =
tion Of information gained through va
rious sources showing the manner in
which the New Haven Railroad OBJ
tanned it's alleged traffic monopoly in
New England.
With the broadening of the scope Of
the inquiry the possibility OF early
court action was removed. Although
the government officials consistently
declined TO discuss anything connected
with the proceeding, ii was learned
that they did not expect a definite re-
suit from the inquiry for n number Of

j. f.. Dalrymple vice-president and
traffic manager of the Grand Trunk,
found an opportunity to tell the grand
jury why construction work on the
Southern New England Railroad was
suddenly suspended.
The examination Of these three wit
ncsses consumed so much time that
neither Benjamin Campbell, vice-presi-
dent and traffic manager OF the New
Haven, nor Arthur r. Clark, secretary
of the New Haven Railroad. could be
taken before the grand jury. although
both of them were in readiness in the
anteroom.
A report was spread that Mr.. Mellen
had come 10 New York and had tele-
phoned to Jesse c. Adkins, assistant
Attorney General in charge Of the in
vestigation. that he would come before

veloped that Mr.. Mcllen was not even

said NJ. Mellen was in Boston.
Mr.. Chamberlin left New York for

dent Of the Grand Trunk had not made
an offer az yet to appear before the
grand jury voluntarily in the manner
suggested by Mr.. Mellen.

MANY HAVE Been
ADDED TO PAY ROLL
Several Hundred Men Have
Been Put TO Work in
Ray Mines

RAY. Ariz.. May z:-Since April
over 200 men-a majority OF whom
are Americans. have been added TO
the pay roll OF the RAY Consolidated.
This increase is due to the urgent de-
mand that construction work on the
surface equipment of the Ray Cen
trail acquisition be speedily pushed
TO completion.
The installations required are prac-
tically identical with the mammoth
structures at the other two operating
points the idea being to standardize
the three plants. The units consist
of a head-frame and huge hoist, built
only for the purpose Of lifting ore; re
volving tipples, for dumping the ore
into the large steel pockets; a crush
ing plant with a conveying belt lead
ing 10 the circular ore bin: cement
lined adit tunnel, electrically equip
ped for fiye-ton cars. and a waste
hoist and bin, with corrections from
a lower level.
An additional compressor with a
capacity of 5000 cubic feet of air win
be placed along side OF the larger
one at mine No. /. with a 10-inch pipe
leading to the newly acquired proper
ties. These expenditures will approx
innate 100000 and the separate parts
will not be in service before next fall
