This restaurant closed because OF
the death OF John T. Meehan.

Half a century ago, when NUMBER
Of men whose names have since become
household words were young beginners
in New York City, they used to gather
in the back of pat" Dolan's beanery'
at No. 80 Park Row, eat huge plate
fuls Of steaming ham and beans or
corned beef and cabbage, and then, over
their coffee, discuss their ambitions and
other interesting things. Every now
and then they would be interrupted by
a tall and lank youth-the water boy,
That water boy was the nephew OF
"Old Pat" Dolan, the owner of the lit
tie restaurant, and was also johnnie"
Meehan, who, when his uncle died, took
his place in the beanery and the affec-
lions Of those patrons, and kept there.
That's why Dolans had paddock and
half a sheet Of paper on its front door
last night.
Those patrons, and hundreds and
hundreds that followed and prospered
and Just as many who didn't prosper
knew him with affection as Beef
and" and Johnnie" 1t wasn't a great
many years before Beef and"-the
water boy-could count among his close
friends a great many politicians and
big men of lower New York, anywhere
roundabout the City Hall; for Meehan
was as great q master in politics as he
was over that big knife with which he
sliced fat and round slivers Of corned
beef.
AS has been said, he successfully
carved fortune from a round Of beef
and laded in friends with a spoon"
And now his death is being mourned
by thousands of New Workers, some Of
whom, through his big heartedness,
were able to eat their three meals a
day and walk in shoes and others who
will ride at his funeral In touring cars.
When Beef and" left public school
he was for a time a lawyers clerk.
One day in winter he walked across the

MELLEN EXPLAINS POLICY
Can't Pay Dividends Without
COntributive Business.
STEEL CARS NOT THE BEST
Pullman Company Experts Tell
Him to Use Some Wood, Says
New Haven President.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

New Haven, Conn, Oct H.-Charles ).
Mellen, president of the New Haven Rail-
road, discussed extensively tonight the
expansion policy of the company and its
recent orders for steel cars.
When asked why he had sought the
control of other transportation organiza-
tons connected with his road, he replied :
Not because of the desire for power
or monopoly. but to control the business
which is necessary to support the COM
pany and to enable II to make improve
ments to its property, and which prob
ably must continue indefinitely If the road
is to be made and kept an effective ma
chine.
1T might we'll be the case that II new
line should get control of the line We
have secured 1t would be able to divert to
itself the contributive business from
which we now earn our interest and divi-
dends and leave US with nothing but our
local business, which would be INSULT
cient to warrant the expenditure for the
facilities which the public demands.
"Our policy is no different from that
pursued by the Pennsylvania, the New
York Central and other large systems Of
roads. They have to secure and control
a business sufficient to support them, or
they would not be the efficient transpor-
tation agencies they now are.
Had the New York. New Haven a.
Hartford not controlled the business OF
New England some other company would
have relegated the New Haven to the po-
sition of q local road, with insufficient
business to have sustained it, for the local
business of the New Haven road could
never justify the expenditure that las
made il the road that II now is"
Upon the question of steel passenger
cars Mr.. Mellen said:
I'm the recent orders We have placed
with the Pullman company we have been
advised by the practical men OF that
company not 10 use all steel, but to use a
considerable amount Of interior wood fin
ish We are told that the best of It's new
est equipment is made with a consider
able finish of wood, and not all steel.
in the orders placed We have sought
only the best, and that there might be no
question the contracts have been placed
on a cost and percentage basis. and for
the most improved and substantial style
Of construction, considering only safety
and convenience, and we are advised, and
have accepted such advice, that as to the
interior finish Of the cars they be not all
metal but partly wood.
"In the Westport wreck, had the car
which was burned and in which the lives
were lost been Of all-steel construction
there would still have been fire, because
Of the upholstery and the framework OF
the seats, for the fire took place not from
the gas tank as has been stated, but
from the amount OF coal that was thrown
from the fire box OF the engine into the
car, some OF IL, as reports are made to
me, two-thirds the length OF the car.

East Orange, n. j.. Oct. 27.-Nathan
Harmed, fifty years old, walked about
unaided yesterday after a fall had
broken his back He was in the en-
ploy of a cleaning company and was
at work on a piazza.
Harmed missed his footing and fell
twenty feet, landing on his back. He
told those who ran to pick him up that
he did not think he was badly hurt.
He rose to his feet, walked around a
little and sat down on the porch steps.
He finally requested that a carriage be
called to take him home.
Harmed grew worse, and late in the
evening was sent to the Newark City
Hospital, where it was discovered that
one Of his vertebre was fractured. His
condition is critical.

A meeting to protest against what was
referred to as tolerated vice in Newark
was held in Proctor's Theatre in that
city yesterday afternoon. The theatre
was packed from the orchestra pit TO the
dome and an overflow meeting was neces-
sary in Military Park, near the show
house, which several hundred persons at
tended.
Coming, as 1t did on the eve OF
mayoralty election, the chief issue OF
which relates to the alleged vice condi-
lions Of the city, the meeting was en-
livened by speeches which urged the
elimination of the Democratic administra-
zion. which is being blamed for the SIT
uation.
The Anti-Saloon League OF New Jersey
furnished the basis for the formation OF
committee Of one hundred citizens under
whose auspices the protest was MADE
The league recently sent investigators
around Newark, and reports of conditions
in dance halls and hotels were made the
subject OF letters TO Mayor Haussling'
who is seeking reelection; Prosecutor
Wilbur A. Mott, Sheriff John F. Mona
han, and finally to Governor wilson.
There was apparently no notice taken OF
the saloon leagues activities until Gov
ernor Wilson wrote TO the city ana
county officials In Newark.
