MELLEN NOT TO
 LEAVE THIS ROAD Reported on Good Authority He Remains With New Haven
 As An Adviser CUT IN DIVIDEND LIKELY May Go To Four Per Cent. As Basis For Upbuilding Of
 The Road
CUT IN DIVIDEND LIKELY

New Haven, Aug. 28.-President 1 Charles S. Me11en will not leave the
 service of the New Haven road on l August 31 as had been supposed since | the announcement was made that the l directors had accepted his resignation
 as head of the system, according to a. 1 we'll authen ticated report here. It is
 said upon good authority that he will remain in the service of the road in sort of an advisory capacity for a l term of several years at salary | which is small in comparison to that
 paid to him as president. He will not
 remain director, it is said
 From what has come from the meet
 ing of the directors at which the res ignation was accepted there was con- siderable discussion as to what was
 best to do with President Mellen after
 his resignation had been accepted In spite of all that had been said of President Mel1en's management it was
 argued by some of the directors that it would be a mistake to allow him to
 go and thus lose his services at Q. time
 when they might be very badly need ed So it was suggested that he stay with the road at a reduced salary. As President Mellen has no other means of livelihood and as it is reported he
 has met with many reverses of late, no great amount of pressure was needed
 to bring about his acceptance.
 The plan, in so far as can pe learned, is that Presfdent-to- Elliott will make use of President. M ellens knowl- edge of the New England railroad sit
 uation in the constructive work of
 building up the road into a paying proposition.
 Another report which seems to have confirmation in the downward course of the stock is that the dividend is
 going to five and quite probably to four per cent. at the next dividend meeting. This report comes from many
 sources, but the one which seems to bear the earmarks of truth is that the
 directors do not feel disposed to make President E11iott's job harder than it may be and they feel that in fairness to themselves and to the stockholders the road must be put where 1t can earn
 whatever dividends it is called upon to pay. Then President Elliott, having
 reached rock bottom in the matter of
 unfavoraib1e things, can go ahead and build the road up. The claim is made
 that from indications the road this
 year will nos earn five per cent. let
 alone six per cent, and that the best thing to do is to drop the dividend another point or possibly two points
 and then let the forces of reorganiza-
 ton go as far as they like in the work
 of upbuilding. The men who believe
 this is the proper method say they are
 confident that when the for really
 get into action the price of the stock
 will begin to go up again, som ething
 that cannot happen, they say, while
 the road is paying greater dividends
 than it earns.

he sent his fine water spaniel to

living and it was poisoned in two
days. However, he had one of the
pups, but a few days ago he brought
it to the city where it picked up a
piece of meat on the streets. 1t died
as soon as he got it home. AS last
resort he went out to Rock to secure
a femle spaniel only to find that It
had been run over by an auto and
badly injured. He is nursing it care
fully, however, and still has hopes
that fate will relent.
