UphoIds Pullman Contract.

Mr. Mellen declared that the contract
under which the New Haven turned over
its parlor and sleeping car service to the
Pullman company was the best contract
that any railroad company ever made
with the Pullman concern.
Admitting that the cost OF the CON
struction Of two subsidiary roads, the
New York, Westminster & Boston and the
Uampden Railroad. had been greater
than expected, he insisted that both
would prove good investments and ulti-
mately return a profit.
The payment Of $4,000 to Oakleigh
Thorne and Marsden j. Perry was made,
Mr. Mellen said. by direction of j. T..
Morgan, who arbitrated the amount or
COMPENSATION for Thorne and Perry after
the New Haven officials. fearing loss In
the 1897 panic. terminated their contract
with the Milbrook company. which was
organized by Thorne and Perry TO con-
struct the Westchester road.
Edward ID. Robbins. general counsel Of
the New Haven road. was examined re-
gardng the intercorporate relations OF
the New Haven subsidiaries. His expla-
nation was that the laws OF Connecticut
were complicated, and that in order for
the New Haven to avoid the payment Of
taxes contrary TO the spirit and intent OF
the statutes the formation OF the sub
salaries was necessary.
Commissioner Prouty asked II the ac-
auisition Of the Boston * Maine by the
New Haven had not been to evade the
law. Mr.. Robbins declared the transac-
tons had been proper and legal and were
TO overcome technical difficulties that
might invalidate the merger.
Then you did two Illegal things said
Mr.. Prouty. you acquired the property
I'm violation of the law. and then you
evaded the law in order to make the deal
legal"
Mr.. Robbins denied this and protested
against the commissioner manner Of
putting the questions.
The hearing Will be resumed Tomorrow.
when Mr.. Robbins will be cross-examined
by Louis d. Brandeis, who has been
active in the investigation.
The strain OF the inquiry has told Sc
verely on the accountant, Mr.. Brown.
who after having been on the stand
much of the last ten days. was absent to-
day because OF illness.

Explains Motto Transactions.

Nfr. Mellen discussed various cote trans
actions. saying that In every case the
New Haven company had been paid IN
fun. and the only money that had come
10 him personally was 10 reimburse him
for expenses contracted in the conduct Of
the company's business The notes. he
said were merely temporary vouchers
for money used In the railroads behalf.
An apparent profit OF $4,000 TO John
t.. Billiard OF Meridcn. Conn. for his part
In the acquisition OF the Boston 4 Maine
by the New Haven was dwclt upon by
Mr. Mellcn. who said the commissioner
accountant David f.. Brown. had testified
about the transaction on the assumption
that the book value of certain securities
represented their real value. when their
actual value was much less. lie added
that when the transaction should be COLI
cIuded Mr. Billiard would not have re-
ceived any more than that 10 which his
worst enemy would say ne was entitled.
Mr. Mellen explained the purchase of
the Worcester. Nashua Il Rochester stock
for the Boston Il Maine Railroad, saying
Il was done at the request of Lucius
futile then president OF the Boston 4
Maine. None OF the New Haven directors
who purchased the Worcester. Nashua a
Rochester stock on money advanced by
the New Haven on their notes ever made
a dollar of profit lie declared.
All the New Haven's trolley properties
Mr.. Mellen said would I'm 1913 pay the
New Haven per cent OF their cost.

almost completely the supply Of gas
