washington, March 19.-The senate
last evening allowed $500 in the ur-
gent deficiency bill for John Pepper or
Ottumwa, father OF the late Represen-
tative Pepper. This represents one
years salary OF a member of congress.
1t is usual to give this allowance to
the widows of members OF congress. ~
is not SO often granted to other rela-
tives. 1t is sometimes, however, TOT
instance, as pointed out by Senator
Kenyon this afternoon. the allowance
! was made to the nephews of the late
Senator Allison.
Senator Kenyon took charge of the
matter in the senate. L. Would nave

any event, Senator Kenyon urged the
allowance yesterday. He said he per-
/ sonally knew that John Pepper need

man Of the appropriations. committee
at first objected, taking the position
the house should have acted and SAYING
ne had been advised that Chairman
Fitzserald of the house appropriations
committee was willing to write let
ter to the senate committee asking Tor
the item.
Senator Kenyon protested against
such an injustice, saying that If there
was no action now the matter would
never be rectified He predicted the
custom of granting such allowance
eventually would be abolished when the
public understood them.

wanting to delay passage OF the denlc-

Mr.. Mellen at this point in response to
questions said that when he went with
the New York and New Haven its stock
was selling at something like $l9l a share
and when he left II was bringing SOL q
share.
q. What do you attribute the democrat

morning on that subject instead OF late
in the afternoon.
Mr.. Mellen finally said he attributed
the Generalization to the large floating
debt the road was carrying,
q. What brought II about? A. Various
things--the Westchester deal. the Boston
and Maine deal. various Investments that
we had that could not be profitable, the
general depression that was prevailing In
New England, increased cost Of the Grand
Central station Improvement and many
things OF this kind. A long list OF things
could be enumerated.

would take care OF itself and he likewise

Mr. Smith remembers a visit OF Mr..
Mellen to the then President Roosevelt
Mt which he as Commissioner OF Corpora

steamship holdings were discussed.
However. l don't care TO discuss the

u will not talk about Mr.. Meilsn's state
ment that Col Roosevelt advised Mr.. Mel

Didn't Keep a Dollar Of II.

Il did not retain a dollar OF H." said
Mr.. Mellen.
Mr.. Folk produced memorandum
showing that the amount was paid to
j. Pierpont Morgan n Co. and was 30
charged on the books OF the New Haven
and did not appear as a physical fund.
Q. According TO that memorandum the
books of the New Haven are false? A.
According TO that memorandum you can
form your own conclusion as to what the
situation Is.
Mr.. Mellen said that $4,000 was also
given TO Vice President auckland for the
Republican committee In Rhode Island.
Mr.. Folk said that the balance OF tho
100000 appeared to have been spent
for pier leases in New York
Q. What about them7 A. know moth
Ing about them. except that we had to
get piers and we had to pay for them
Mr.. Folk showed also another large
batch OF stock. asgregating 27.l54 shares,
had been Issued to Mr. Mellen for the
purnose OF having them listed on the
Stock Exchange.
Mr.. Mellen then gave rather con-
Trajectory explanation OF a transaction
with the New England Navigation Com
pany In which the Billiard Company and
John t. Billiard figured.
Q. You borrowed s375,o for the New
England Navigation Company? A. Yes.
and I owe II now.
What did you give as security? A.
All but twenty shares OF the Billiard Com
pany, that Is 1880 shares stlli owe
the money and l have got TO pay Il.
The note went from tho navigation COM
pany to the Billiard Company.
Q. What security did you give to Mr..
Billiard for the stock7 A. None he knows
that am good for It
Mr.. Mellen said that as a matter Of
fact MIR. Billiard owed him some money
and that he really owed Mr.. Billiard only
100000. Mr. Mellen added that the
Billiard Company paid up his note and
with 1t went the collateral. that is, the
Billiard stock. Mr.. Mellen was asked
| why he borrowed this money from the
! navigation company.
Il needed money" said he. IT knew
| that ! was going out OF the presidency OF
| the New Haven and / remembered those
| due bills which had issued In the West
! chester transaction and I wanted to b,
in position to pay them II they were
! presented"
Tho testimony shows that there is abou,
| $4,000 worth OF these due bills still ou
and that Mr.. Mellen has paid several o.
them since he retired from the presidency

tlrnated that the road cost 100000 the
Boston and Maine estimated that IL cost
$4,000, 900 and the Railroad Commission
of Massachusetts estimated that IL cost
between 100000 and s3.<0O.0O0. Mr.
Mellcn said that the road was fifteen
miles long and was intended as a connec-
ton between the Boston and Maine and
the New Haven railroad. The Boston
and Maine Is now paying on this road and
IL Is operated very little.

Mr.. Mellen. ito everybody concerned un-
I'll il Is operated"
Mr.. Folk developed that large amounts
Of New Haven stock had been ostensibly
sold to Mr. Mellen. but that as matteS
of fact the stock was sold in order 10 have
it listed on the New York stock Exchange.
This stock was sold to Mr.. Melien In
March. 1904. and consisted OF io.sso
shares valued at $S.7eS.6bo.
Explaining this transaction Mr.. Mellen
said:
There was In the treasury OF the New
Haven railroad stock when was sold to
me for the purpose OF having u listed.
The rules Of the Stock Exchange required
that stock had to be actually sold and IL
was sold 10 me-"
MIR. Mellen said he gave his note for
the stock.
What security was back of your note7"
asked Mr.. Folk.

fast as I disposed OF II l reduced my
note. There was II profit on II and there
