turned dividends on the stock in his name
to the company. The balance in Mr.. Mel
lens favor, the witness said. was si02.6G0.
Reference was made by Commission
er Prouty TO various issues of New

testified that Mr.. Mellen as president
of the New Haven Co. sold TO himself
as president of the New England Nav
igation Co, $1,000 shares of New Hav-

from the New Haven Railroad at 195
and another 1900 shares disposed of
In the same way brought profit OF
81 share.
Vice President E. G. Buekland OF

railroads counsel, today, brought out
the fact that in the first instance Mr..
Mellen's action was authorized by the
New Haven directors. The witness
had not asked concerning any of the
other transactions, but he said he did
not intend to intimate that Mr.. Mel
lens actions had not always been au-
thorized.

Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange,
questioned Mr. Brown at the afternoon
session, Vice President Buckland Of
the New Haven having put over his

til tomorrow, when he will be sup
piled with transcript of the fore

Mr. Brandeis' examination dealt
principally with techniealities of ac-
counting Mr.. Brown said that the New
Havens system of bookkeeping di-
fered considerably from that employed
by other railroad companies with
which he was familiar. II was difficult
he said, to tell by an examination oil
the books what was and what was moi

iournalizlng through the cash ledger.
The New England Navigation Cos
affairs We're probed at length by Mr.
Brandeis, who drew from the witness
the statement that while the gross
earnings of the Navigation Co. fol
the year ending June 80, 1872, showed
a decrease of nearly s124,oo0. as com
pared with the figures for the yeal
ending June 30. 1906, the gross earn
ings Of the New York, New Maven q
Hartford Railroad increased from Sol,
940,pT4, in 1906. to s64. .933,oe4 in 1872
Mr.. Brandeis called attention to al
increase in the Navigation Cos. as
sets OF s3,560,0oo in one year. which
was set down as Good vii" Mr.

How Germany Fights Food Prices.

SO far the German shopkeeper has
had to face competition mainly from
trading municipalities. Now a more
dangerous competitor has arisen in
the shape of the manufacturer.
The system is described in this
weeks Arbeitgeber. 1t is new sys-
tenn, inasmuci- as until lately it was
practically unknown except in the
Siiesian mines Bread. meat, fish, po-
tatoes, vegetables, preserves, cheese
and butter-surrogates are all now be-
ing bought by factory owners direct
from the producers and sold to the
workmen at very low prices. In some
cases the employers give free use of
their own carts for house toulouse
distribution. Come works employ
special agents, whom they send round
the country to buy food products from
the farmers. Sometimes samples of
food products are first obtained by.
the employers and then submitted for
approval to a eommittee of the ein-
pleyers and then submitted for APP
proval to a committee of the en-
ployed.
