Retirement of New Haven's
Directors Is Demanded BY
Brandeis to Effect Change

BOSTON, July Recommending OF
the resignation of Charles S. Meller
from the presidency of the New York
New. Haven and Hartford railroad and
its subsidiary lines, and demanding the
retirement OF the board OF directors
Louis d. Brandeis today declared Mel.
les retirement important mainly as
q symptom of what must come" Con.
tinuing, ne says:
"Mr. Mellen's resignation alone will
accomplish little. II anything II should
be accompanied by the retirement OF the
board Of directors. whose policies Mr..
Mellen has carried out faithfully for
nearly ten -czrs
THE directors whose policies Mr..
Mellen has been carrying out are OBJ
viously not to be trusted to introduce
those radical changes which the Inter-
state Commerce Commission recon-
mended and which are essential to 4
restoration of the railroads to their
former prosperity.
Instead Of ACKNOWLEDGMENT and mo-
nopoly, the only method of re-estsblIsh-
ing proper conditions in New Eneland
railroad affairs is to have the railroad
attend only to railroad business: sepa-
rating the trolleys and the steamship
lines from the steam railroad system
divorce the Boston and Maine from the
New Haven; and cancel .he agreement
with the New York Central relative to
the Boston and Albany. That is the
only way to secure proper transporta-
lion conditions In New England"

CAVALRY OFFICERS
GO TO MANEUVERS
Depart For Shenandoah Valley,
Where Reorganization Plan
Will Be Tried Out.

The exodus of cavalry officers from
Washington to take part in the two
months maneuvers in the famous
Shenandoah Valley. where Gen. Philip
Sheridan made his historic ride fifty
years ago, already has begun. Brig.
Gen. e. L. McClernand, Col. c. H. Muir
ray, Lieut.. J. T. Dickman. Lieut.. Col.
F. 8. Foltz. and Major ]. Mel. Carter.
OF the cavalry board, already have gone
to Winchester, Va, which is to be the
seat Of the cavalry operations. Lieut..
staffs office. will leave Saturday. 1t
Is planned to permit all the cavalry Of
ficers stationed In Washington, and
those stationed at the army posts over
the country, to VISIT the Shenandoah
Valley during the maneuvers.
Reports reaching the War Depart
ment today were that the Eleventh
Cavalry from Fort Oslethorpe, Ga, had
arrived at the maneaver ground. COM

ing its 700-mile overland ride. The

Kan, also will arrive by rail tomorrow.
bulk of the Fifteenth Regiment. had
but short ride to make, and are now
oa the ground.
The maneuVerS in the historic She
nandoah Valley are designed for the
purpose of testing out a plan of the
general staff for the reorganization Of
this branch of the service. A board
of cavalry officers spent four months
last summer studying the cavalry arm
In Germany, France, England. Russia.
and Austria. Recommendations were
filed by this board, and It is to test out
these recommendations that the elabor-
ate cavalry maneuvers will begin next
week and continue for two months.
1t is believed that the results of the
practical tests at Winchester will show
the necessity OF abolishing the present
plan Of infantry organization, which
consists Of twelve companies, three of
which compose a battalion, with four
oattaiions to the regiment. Army Of
ncers believe a general reorganization
OF the cavalry arm along the lines en-
ployed by European armies will be
adopted.
Just what changes il Is proposed to
make have not been announced, how
ever, as the report Of the cavalry board
Of its trip abroad never was made
public. ..
The tract Of land on which the ma
neuvers will be held is a mile broad and
two miles long. The camp already has
been prepared for occupancy by the
cavalrymen. so that there will be no
delay in inaugurating the maneuvers
when the last Of the troops arrive at
Winchester tomorrow.

Mellen's Retirement
May Mean Dissolution
OF Mesv England Merge,

Washington interprets Mellen's
retirement rs the forerunner Of
the voluntary dissolution Of the
great merger of New England
railroads, trolley lines and wa.
ter transportation companies.
The resignation was expected In
Wall Street, where chief inter.
est was taken In the selection
of his successor. Those men.
toned are Howard Elliott, pres.
ident of the Northern Pacific;
B. L. Winchell, traffic manager
of the Union Pacific, and Sam.
uel Higgins, formerly general
manager of the New Haven.
"TOo much hammering" Is given
as one cause for Mr.. Mellen's
retirement and he worried
greatly about the numerous
wrecks.
A reorganization OF the New
Haven system is predicted.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-The resigna.
tion Of Charles S. Mellen as president
Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, and his severance
Of all official relation with that road
and all subsidiary companies, will be
accepted, probably late today, when
the board of directors meets at the
Grand Central Station. This appeared
certain today In view Of the reasons
President Mellen gave when he ten
dered his resignation.
These reasons. which were given
verbally yesterday and will be pre-
sented In written form today. are, II
is said. substantially as follows:
President Mellen's health will not
permit the continued strain IL has
been under for the past year; that his
trial on a charge of manslaughter
growing out of the Westport wreck,
begins about October 1, and he wishes
to be out Of office when 1t begins.

Committed BY Enemy.

ATHENS, July 1s.-The secretary of
the French legation. accompanied by
an officer left here today for the
section which. the Greeks charge, has
been laid waste and the inhabitants
massacred in the most barbarous
fashion by the rstreating Bulgarians.
In statements from the war office,
based on personal reports from King
Constantine, stories of unprecedented
barbarity are told of, wives and
daughters being outraged before their
husbands and parents and then burn
ed to death. and Of thousands being
massacred in every town entered by
the Bulgarfans.
These official statements declare
that 10000 Mussulemans were massa-
cred at Doiren, and not only have
these outrages been committed dur
ing the fighting Of last month, but
have been in progress for nearly a
year. At Demir- -Hissar the village
petrovo was burned and after wom-
en- and girls had been attacked they
were burned to death in a mosque
while Bulgarian musicians played
Wild airs.
Tho official reports declare 1t was
found that the vagabond hangers-on,
found in the wake of every army.
were not responsible for the afro,
cities, but officers of the Bulgarian
army. =
At Seres. the Greeks declare, no re-
spect was paid to foreign property.
Guns were turned upon the consulates.
1t was learned. however, that Managers
Harrington and Moore, Of the Amers-
can Tobacco Company, escaped when
the warehouses of that concern were
fired and are now in Saloniki
In addition to the slaughter Of civil.
ians, the Greeks account for many
church dignitaries and notables who
were Slaughtered.

LIKE THE JAPANESE SCHEME
Ono Of the Latest and Most Effective
Ideas in the Decoration OF
the House.

The taste for strong colors and bold
designs is extended to home decora-
tons, and now that most people are
looking around for ideas for renovat-
ing the Japanese scheme will probably
appeal most strongly.
The heavy bronze gold Japanese pa
pers, paneled rather wide, with deep
beading in dulled metal. look very
handsome for large dining rooms or
spacious halls, with very deep fringe
in rich Japanese design on black
ground.
The Japanese grass cloth, a kind Of
fiber. is another simpler style, treated
with the paneled effect. in dark oak
battens. The burlap is style Of wall
decoration to be recommended for
durability. for 1t can be washed or
brushed and distempered over in any
other color and always looks we'll. Oak
battens form panels here also. Other
less expensive Japanese designs Ia pa.
pers are novel, too. The plain linen
papers. that look like canvas, are treat.
ed also in the panel style. with con-
ventionai or floral designs forming
new panels.
Moires are also much used, with
floral bordering all round. Indeed,
there seems the same strong feeling
for color in home surroundings as in
the fashions of the moment There Is,
however, one consolation. When you
tire Of these oriental tones there are
so many excellent distempers in such
artistic shades that. provided you Sc
lect q good quality paper, it is very
simple to return to the artistic and
practical monotone on your walls.
