YOUNG MORGAN
 DEFENDS FAT HER

| New York, May 26-J F. Morgan is- sued the following statement last might
 T have examined as carefully as the time would permit, the stenographic report of MT. Mellen's testimony, con sisting of several hundred typewriter
 T became a. director Of the New Haven Railroad in April, 1913. and re- signed December 31 of the same year
 ..The only reference to me, per- sonally, which have found in Mr. Mellen's testimony has to do with the fact that I. director of the company, called upon him and told him that a change in the presidency was desirable.
 For any blame that attaches to that act, whether it be accorded me as member of the board of direc- tors. or as an individual accept full responsibility
 ..Therei is, however, in MT. Mellen's testimony something more important to me than any possible criticism of myself.
 Charge Declared Untrue.
 .sMr Mel1en, in substance, charges my, father with having concealed from him. the president of the company, facts which the president of the conn pany should have known Every one who knows my father knows this to be untrue.
 During the last ten years Of my one-third of the tirne- During the last three years of his life he was abroad one-half of the time.
 He was actively connected during this whole period with many different affairs. That he could have had the time, even if he had the desire. to interfere actively in the mana cement of the New Haven Railroad is inpos- sible-
 MT Mellen is right in describing my father as a forceful man. He is right also in picturing my father s deep interest in New Haven affairs
 My father was born in New Eng land and he believed in the New Ha- ven Railroad. He recognized, as otf1- CTS have recognized, that with the shifting of the center of population in this country, and the chanSing eco homie conditions, the commercial po- sition of New England was threaten ed. and that a, change in this commer- cia1 position would. unless an effort were made, to counteract it, result in an unfavorable effect upon New Eng lands leading railroad.
 Did Not Manage Road.
 ssHe undoubtedly believed that a railroad peculiarly situated as Is the New Haven. with a growing passenger traffic at very low rates and with ex- pensive improvements required all along it's line, must make every effort to increase it's traffic and maintain its position
 He believed, moreover, that the New Haven and the Boston & Maine which were not. in his opinion, in any sense competing lines, could be operated to the benefit of New Eng

land more advanEa EeOualy tozetfe~ than apart, and that no harm couIf gamation by reason of the Gull mea- sure of State and national regulation which the law afforded
 T am quite ready to believe, also that he agreed with MT. AEeIIen that the entrance of the Grand Trun7r Railway into Providence would have involved the unnecessary dupIicatton of facilities for which the New Ens land public sooner or later would have had to pay.
 fsBut the fnnputation that my fa ther in any sense took the manage nent of the railroad, or any part of its affairs, out Of the hands Of ths president, is untrue

 These total net profits anounted to approximately $35O.0OO, which in cluded their compensation for hand securities of the par value of $888- GOO. 900.
 .sThe records Of my firm and the personal records of my father are stfl intact: they are available and ready for production before any proper trf- 'bunal at any time.
 .In the present state of the New Haven's affairs the shareholders ara entitled to have made public ev6ry obtainable bit of evidence bearing not on one but on all sides Of the ques- tion.

kAISER'S FIFE Il
 SON IS ENGAGED


 Pottsdann. May The engage ment of Prince Oscar fifth sonzofs the German emperor and empress, to Countess Won Bassewitz, maid Of hon or to the Empress, was announced tor day The Prince was born July 27 1888.
 Lively comment was aroused by the announcement of the engagement owing to the fact that the marriage will be the first morganatic union which has occurred in the Hohen- .zollern family since 1895. Tn that year Prince AIbrecht of Prussia, brother of the old Emperor William, and the then King of Prussia, married Coun- tess Rosa1ie Won Hohenau. It is as sumed that the Emperor. who con sented to the engagement will confer a higher rank in the mobility on the young Countess Ina Marie Won Basse- tz-Levetzow.
 The Princess was born in January. 1888 and her father Count Charles von Baasewitz Levetzow, is premier of the grand duchy of Miklenberg Schwerin.

Rockefeller, Too III to Tell High Finance Secrets, Appears Very Comfortable in These Parts.

Behind Closed Doors is the title William G. Rockefel1ery the Standard d oil magnate might append to an ,ac- count of the 50th anniversary celebra- ton of his wedding which was cele- brated on Sunday and Monday at the palatfaI estate Of Oliver e Jennings and Miss Anna Jennings of Fairfield.
 The we'll known and much sought for financier came to the O. Jen- sningsS estate on the hill byS automobile Saturday nj ght, with his wifes and ac- .cording to villagers his children were with him. After fearful moments in the hilltop house where even the doors were guarded by servants who constantly sought to turn subpoena. servers from the threshold he yester- day notored to sSunnfe Holne, the residence of Miss Jennings in Fair- field proper, where he apparently met pr. Francis McAlpin, of New Bruns- wick by. appointment to submit to an examination of his physical condition that he might either be excused or forced to testify before the interstate Commerce Commission at Washing ton.
 As he had attended services in the Congregational church, Fairfield on Sunday morning where Rev. Frank H. sChiids preached, and appeared to be in good health he will undoubtedly be requested to offera testimony that he has hitherto been reticent in giving the commission upon the plea that his health would not permit.
 After spending several hours at the Anna Jennings home, he was taken to the Bridgeport station from which he departed on the 3:34 train to New York, the trunks being conveyed back to New Y ork by the chauffeur. 5 It@e could not be ascertained yester- day whether d house party held over Saturday and Sunday by Miss Jen- snings had been in his honor or whether any particular presents had been received at the home. All ser wants had been instructed to keep the doors closed and all avenues of in formation. were withheld
