FOR MONOPOLY OF
TRANSPORTATION
Government Control ofRailrOads
Urged BY Mellen.
SAYS 7. R. CHECKED MORSE
President or the New Haven Road
Gives Another Interesting Chap
ter OF Financial
History.

Washington, d. Can absolute
monopoly of transportation under gov.
ernment regulation and control, was
suggested by Charles S. Mellen, former
president of the New Haven Railroad
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, as the solution of the American
railroad problem. ITO get efficiency
and economy" declared Mr.. Mellen,
there must be a monopoly; and that
monopoly is certain to be the United
States government"
A little later he remarked Every
time a railroad official comes to
Washington he has to take off his hat
to some government official"
Mr.. Mellen appeared to have re-
covered from his evident fatigue when
he appeared before the commission TO
resume his testimony. He was virile
and active, mentally and physically.
He responded to the gruelling line Of
interrogatories fred at him by Chief
Counsel Joseph w. Folk vigorously
ana promptly, never Resltatlng sec
ond for a word
He told at length the story of his
steamship transactions with Charles
w. Morse. Concerning these, Mr..
Mellen explained he felt 1t desirable
to confer with Colonel Roosevelt, who
then was president of the United
States. He told the President that he
had received an offer of S20,O0O,0 900
from Morse for the New Haven steam
ship holdings and felt inclined to &C.
oept 1t, because thus the New Haven
would be able to turn the property
into cash. Mr.. Roosevelt, he said, ap-
parently was anxious that Morse
should be checked in his ambition to
acquire monopoly of the steamship
lines and urged Mr., Mellen not to SELL

SEEK THE PLANS
OF GEN. CARRANZA
The Mediators Strike Rock In
Conference.
is WANTED.
Message Sent To Carranza Concerns
Sending OF Representative.
Mediators Trying To Arrange
a Bipartite Agreement.
(Copyright.)

Washington, d. CAS- was antici-
pated, the medlators at Niagara Falls
have struck the first of the series Of
rocks-the purposes and attitude OF
Carranza and the Constitutionallsts-
on which may be wrecked the fragile
craft of peace the A. B. c. powers
have been endeavoring to construct.
A message from Niagara Falls in
dicating that the mediators were
anxious for information as to the
plans and purposes Of the Constitu-
tionalists, and that 1t was essential
that the Constitutionallsts should
have a representative at Niagara to
furnish that information was made
public. Since the Constitutionalists
had refused to participate in the
mediation scheme it was a delicate
proposition to put up to them.
However, after series Of confer
ences here, it became known that a
Constitutionalist representative will
likely be sent to Niagara for the pur-
pose of furnishing information to the
A. B. C. mediators as to Carranza's
plans and purposes.
Up To Carranza.
If General Carranza consents, II is
probable that the Constitutionalist
representative to be sent to Niagara
will be Jose Vasconceles, a young
Mexican lawyer who is the Consrtu-
tionalists' confidential agent in Cau'
ada. Vasconceles is now in Montreal
The Constitutionalist representa-
tive will go with the distinct under
standing that he is not to participate
in mediation, that he is only to serve
as medium Of information concern
ing Constitutionalist aims and condi-
tions in the territory they control
and that the sending of such repre-
sentative is not to involve the Con-
stitutionalists in any way in any plan
of the mediators for the pacifcation Of
Mexico.
