 ing the Appropriation.

SEATTLE, May 22.--At the lunch con given yesterday at the Arctic Club by the Seattle Chamber of Com merce to Lieut.. Mears and Thomas Riggs, of the Alaska railroad survey, Lieut.. Mears made the statement that the exhibit sent to Washington by the Alaska Bureau of the chamber had done much to secure the passage of the railroad bill through congress and that few of the members ot fhe national law body had ever realized until they saw the exhibit that Alaska had any possibilities as an agricultur- al country, nor could they comprehend the great value of the mining and fishing industries until they saw the products of the north taken to Wash ington by Secretary McPherson. |.
 Falcon Joslin, who followed Lieut.. Mears on the program, said that a large number of votes received by the Alaska railroad bill were from congressman and senators who ex- pect the government railroad in Alas ka to be a horrible example and certain failure and that it will down for many years the government own ership cry being made by the people of the East.

 LAW v|0LA10RS
Promised the Officials of the New Ha ven They Would Not Be Prose-
 cuted, Gays MeIIen.

W,ASHINGON, May 22.-Former President Mellen, of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad. testified today before the Interstate Commerce Commission that when Charles Morse, the steamship oper- ator, had offered the New Haven $2O,- 000,000 for their holdings in the Bos- ton and Maine Steamship line, he had strongly urged the acceptance of the offer and the unloading of the con- peting steamship line.
 The only reason" testified Mel len, i've did not unload the boats on Morse was because President Roosevelt had personally assured us that We would not be prosecuted for violating the antitrust law, because it was the only means we had to prevent the Canadian system from se- curing the cream of the business in New England. We were promised by President Roosevelt that the attorney general would not prosecute and he never did.
 "The troubles of the New Haven begun with the death of J. P. Nor gan and shut oil our means of se- curing money. No other banker dared to advance us money even on the best of securities, fearing reprisals from the Morgan house, and they refused absolutely to aid us after the death of the banker"
 Attorneys for the railroad epdeav- ored to break down the evidence of Mellen. but without avail.
 Ex-president Mellen then urged the commission to establish a trans portationn monopoly similar to that of the Postal department. and to pro vide for the strict government regu- lation of the roads and the fixing of rates by the commission, giving to the shipper the benefit of the reduc- tions certain to follow where com; peting lines are not cutting prices in order to secure the business.

NEW YORK, May 22.-Miss An toinette Bonner, called "the Diamond Queen" and her partner. J. B. Kis- finger, disappeared about October 31, 1913. After their disappearance ten pr more diamond merchants. with es- adjustments for the most part in Maiden Lane. went before the grand jury. and testified that the man and woman had built up extensive credit with the jewelry trade by dealing honestly until they were able to dis appear suddenly with goods having ap aggregate value of $15o.0oo, deliver ed to them lon memorandum."
 The memorandum system, common ly employed by diamond merchants. is that of giving jewels to an agent with an agreement that he shall re- turn the jewels or the cash value oln demand. The title to the jewels re- mains with the merchant until he accepts the purchase price from the agent. but he has practically no pro tection when dealing with a dishon- est agent. :
 The loss of the diamond merchants was made kpowRzS through the arrest early in November of Francis P. Cocks. 2 diam diamond broker of Maiden Lane. Cocks had been in business for more than twenty. years and had built up a reputation for probity. He was organist in a Brooklyn church. He told the police that he had let Kislinger and Miss Bonner have Ion memorandum" jewels worth $1s3, 600. which he in turn had obtained Ion memorsndum" from other diamond lsdsaiers.as He received from the man and woman $lo5,ooo in payments on the 1aS9 900 worth of jewels. so that
 the value of the jewels lost through him was 37s,D0o. Cocks's creditors
 made . demand upon him that forced him to call tor payment from Miss
 Bonner and Kislinger. but when hs l.Wspt in search of them he found that the pair had not been seen since De-
 tober 31.
