MAY SUE MELLEN
AFTER ALL
Attorney-General McReynolds Has Force
Going Over Confessions" of For
mer New Haven Head Seek
ing Discrepancies.

Washington, D. c., May 23.--Impor.
tant developments of an entirely unex-
pected character growing out of the APP
pearance OF Charles S. Mellen at the
interstate commerce commissions New
Haven inquiry were limited at late on
Thursday, when it became known that
officials of the department of justice
were scrutinizing carefully the record of
the testimony.
1t is understood that this scrutiny
was designed to ascertain if Mr.. Mellen,
in the course of his Confessions by
which he gains immunity from pending
and threatening prosecutions, has
strayed at all from the statements made
by him to agents of the department of
justice. The department has in its files
evidence accumulated during the investi.
CATION Of the New Haven by Assistant
AttorneyGeneral Adkins and Special
Attorney General Thomas w. Gregory.
A person who followed closely the
governments inquiry into the New Ha-
ven indicated yesterday that statements
of very much the same character on the
Billiard and Grand Trunk deals as those
made by Mellen to the interstate com
merce commission were made to the
governments Investigators by Mellen
several months ago. The governments
investigators, it is said, carried their
investigation to other sources where
facts relating to Mellen's statements
were discoverable, with the result that
they were not altogether satisfied with
Mr.. Mellen's information. Now they
have Tailed up Mr.. Mellen's statements
to see if any discrepancies furnish
ground for action.

Canal Tolls Exemption De-
Tended by Cham
berlain
DECLARES RAILROADS
OPPOSED CANAL
Some 'Insidious Influence"
Is Against Toll Ex-
emption

Washington, May Ex-senator Cham
berlain of Oregon, one OF the most active
Democratic opponents of the bill to re-
peal the toll exemption provision of the
Panama Canal act, declared in the SEN
ate yesterday that ''the same insidious
influences" that had been exerted for re-
peal would soon be "industriously at
work cultiyating stronger sentiment
in favor OF opening the canal to railroad
owned ships" He declared the trans
continental railroads had fought the
construction of the canal, and now
sought to have the tolls exemption law
repealed. The senator insisted the Bal
timore platform bound the Democrats to
support the exemption. 81 do not in
tend to charge any senator with in
sincerity in his present course" he said,
"but do charge that our party went to
the country in 1912 on this, among other
issues, and our candidates were tri-
umphantly elected, and that the change
of front on the part of some of the
leaders of the party and the vote of
Congress to repeal the tolls exemption
clause will rise to plague them in the
next campaign" The senator contended
that the exemption was not violation
of the treaty.

LA TOILETTE DE-
MANDS RESIGNATION
OF McREYNOLDS
Senator Assails the Attorney-General for
His New Haven
Attitude.

Milwaukee. Wis, May 23.-La Fol-
lette's Magazine, in to-day's issue, over
the signature of Senator La Toilette,
will compliment President Wilson on the
work being done by Joseph w. Folk in
the New Haven investigation and de-
mands the resignation of Attorney-Gen-
eral McReynolds.
Senator La Toilette says i'm part;
president Wilson did good job when
he attached Governor Folk to his adj
ministration. And he is to be highly
commended for giving the able and
courageous governor a free hand as chief
counsel for the interstate commerce COM
mission, in laying bare the corrupt
methods employed by the New Haven
railroad.
"The president could do nothing at
this time which would be more reassur-
ing to somewhat disappointed public,
than to call for the resignation of At
torney General McReynolds and place
Joseph w. Folk at the head of the de-
partment of justice.
"The attorney general of the United
States is presumed TO be the law officer
of the people of the entire country.
Unfortunately for the country, at times.
some men who have been honored with
this place have served special instead OF
public interests. How about the present
attorney general, James G. McReynolds?
"Since he came into office, he has been
busy with the dissolution of trusts and
combinations guilty of violations of the
Sherman law.
"These so-called dissolutions do not
dissolve. The combinations are doing
business in the old way under a change
of name. One of these dissolution pro-
ceedings which McReynolds has under
way, affects the Illegal New Haven
merger.
Eighteen months ago the then pres
ident of the New Haven, Charles S. Mel
len, was indicted for the Grand Trunk
deal. This is the only indictment Sc
cured against any of the officers of the
New Haven, who are known to have
been guilty of about all the crimes in
the calendar, and absolutely nothing
has been done by Attorney General Nc
Reynolds to prosecute any OF the officers
or directors who have robbed the stock
holders, wrecked a great railroad sys-
tenn, and bribed the corrupted officials
in half a dozen states"

cesses. He is regarded as one of the
most promising youngsters in the East.

troll? Mathewson had not hit batter
for three years until he winged John
Bates in the recent Cincinnati York

tivity Everywhere--He Brings
Cheering News.

"There are indications that business
throughout the world is gradually emerg-
ing from an unsatisfactory condition to
one in which commercial confidence Is
being re-established.
"All of the European countries are
making strenuous efforts to increase their
export trade in every branch of indus
try. Notwithstanding the apathetic
condition of the markets of the world
Great Britain's exports show an increase,
and Gemany's commercial industries,
supported by the great resources of the
empire, governmental and private, are
perfecting their export organizations for
the purpose of developing trade posi-
bilities.
"The League of German Foreign Trade
Associations is especially directing its
attention at the present time to trade
opportunities in the far East. Aside
from which, new organization, the
German Association of World Com
merce,' is concentrating its attention on
South American trade development,
which it is expected will be stimulated
by the opening of the Panama canal.
"That American manufacturers are inn
pressed with the necessity of securing
an increasing share of the worlds trade
is shown in the widespread interest TAX
en- in the National Foreign Trade conven-
ton to be held at Washington on the
9th and 2Sth instant. The purpose OF the
is to discuss export business
problems in their various phases, and the
convention viii be broadly representative |
of the nations interests, as they come in
contact with foreign trade, which is of |
vital Importance to the welfare OF the
American industrial enterprise and labor,
as well as of importance to our eoun- |
try's economic position"

But st. Adams Highs Bat
ting Rally Was Nipped
by Capt. Tomasi
AFTER KIDDER HAD
WEAKENED IN 7TH
Spaulding High Defeated
the Railroad City Boys,
by Score of IL to s

Spaulding high school continued its
winning streak yesterday afternoon by
hanging up IL to 5 victory over the
st. Adams high school team at the Ber-
lin street grounds. The game was wit
messed by but few spectators. The
playing of both teams was very ragged.
st. Adams uncorked surprise in the
seventh inning with an unexpected bat
ting rally that drove Kidder from the
mound and brought six tallies. AT that
stage of the game the rally threw big
scare into the Spaulding camp and
placed the two teams practically on an
even footing. When the storm subsidized
the score was to in favor of the
Spaulding team who had held COM
manding lead all during the earlier
stages of the contest. Kidder few the
distress signal in the disastrous session
and Captain Tomasi came to his relief.
Tomai retired the two following bats
men and the danger had passed. Re-
Stunning the fray with more animation,
Coach Agnew's proteges scored addition
al runs in the two subsequent sessions
and insured them victory.
Errors played very prominent part
In the scoring of both sides, while for
tune smiled more favorably on the local
lads. The st. Adams error column was
swelled to the total of 10. The ma
jority of these resulted in the Spaulding
scores, st. Adams made hits count more
strongly than the Spaulding aggrega-
tion.
Kidder twirled excellent ball till the
seventh inning, when he weakened and
was forced to retire into right field un-
der the steady fire of the Franklin coun-
ty lads. Fast fielding by the Spaulding
lads prevented more runs being scored in
the sixth inning when Kidder was hit
safely three times. Captain Tomasi was
hit safely but once. Roach, who was
pitted against Spaulding, was the pos
SCISSOR of curve ball that had Spauld-
ing lads guessing at times.
Captain Tomasi and Brown contribut-
ed the fielding features Tomasi pulled
down hit that was apparently tagged
for extra bases in the third inning after
a long run across right field. Browns
catch of Palmer's fly in the second in-
ming, after he had misjudged the ball,
was accorded with long applause. New
ton, the husky second sacker of the st.
Adams team, was one of the heaviest
hitters of the game. He raped out two
three baggers. Brown and oliver of the
Spaulding team also hit for triples. The

is to take Hoods Sarsaparilla. Ask
your druggist for this old reliable fam
lily medicine. 1t puriies, enriches and
revitalizes the blood. 1t is an all-the-
year-round Alternative and tonic, and is
