 It is the most extraordinary chapter yet unfolder in the commissions In, quiry into the alleged exploitation of the great New England railroad and the disappearance of fortunes from its treasury through the acquisition
 of extravagant prices of subsidiary properties. Members of the cOmmis- sion, counsel and spectators fairly hung upon every word of Mellen aa his story developed under eXamina ton by Chief Counsel Folk

MelIen gave his testimony with apparent willingness, answering readily and concisely every question except one.
 He did try to avoid telling of the time when Morgan humiliated him by brusQuely refusing To give him informauo nconcerning the Westches. ter transaction 10 which be thought as president of New Haven he was entitled When he finally related the incident his face was drawn into har0 lines.
 When Directors Hemingway and skinner of the New Haven demanded why the road was expending eleven million on the Westchester purchase. he offered to appoint each of them a committee of one to find out. He said he had "barked his shins' in a futile endeayor to obtain the information from Morgan and they could try if they desired They ducked' he concluded grimly.
 Particular interest was aroused by Mellen's account of his conference with President Roosevelt as to ac- quisltion of Boston and Maine He explained he was a great admlrer of Roosevelt, who said to him. according to his testimony, that he was not a lawyer and not prepared to advise what he should do about the proposed purchase.

ANACOST|A EXPECTING
NEW CAR LINE ORDER
Public Utilities Commission Likely
to Order Extension of
Half q Mile.

Over the protest Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company the
public utilities commission Of the Dis
trict of Columbia today is expected to
issue an order requiring the company
to extend its lines from the present An
acostia terminus at Esther place to
Upsal street, a distance of about half q
mile.
The extension. which is favored by
the Congress Heights Public Improve
ment Association. has been under con-
sideration several months. 1t will cost
about $4,000.
Tomorrow the utilities board will give
a hearing on the proposal for an ex-
tension of the company's lines south
on 18th street from F street to afford
a direct route to the new bureau of
engraving and printing building. This
project is favored by the transporta-
volve a cost Of about 100000.
In the event 1t is ordered by the COM
mission, the street railway company
probably will request authority to is
sue bonds to the extent of $780, or
more for the purpose of financing both
extensions.
The Anacostfa extension will be the
first to be ordered by the commission,
as this body has deferred consideration
of such improvements pending investi-
cation of the financial status of the
railway companies. In the case OF the
Anacostia improvement, 1t was decided
that the demand for the extension was
sufficiently great to Justify its being
ordered at this time.

NO WORD ON PEACE
FROM GERMAN KAISER
Indifference Among officials Gives
Way to Interest in Talk of
Peace Parleying.

No word has reached the Washington
government from the German emperor
replying to the inquiry of the United
States whether the emperor is willing
to discuss terms of peace with his
foes.
Peace Talk Animated.
Diplomats, and officials discussed
among themselves the details of the
seven days Of peace parleying as they
were published for the first time yes
terday. and there was a noticeable alb
sence of the Indifference with which
talk Of peace was regarded several days
ago. This was due, it was believed,
largely to the apparent turn in the tide
Of battle in France and the feeling
among diplomatists of the allied pow
ers that the German troops would be
forced back to the borders of France
and Belgium.
Notwithstanding the vigorously
phrased statements through official
channels last week that Great Britain,
France and Russia would not talk
peace until they had decisively de-
feated Germany, 1t was admitted in
many quarters here that favorable
answer from Emperor William to the
American governments inquiry might
change the entire aspect of the situa-
ton. Such reply, it was agreed,
would set the machinery for peace
making in motion, even though hos
tilities might not cease, the discussion
of peace terms beginning through the
American government in the hope that
some common ground might be found
for an acceptance by the belligerents
of President Wilson's original tender
of good Offices looking toward media
ton
