RYANTELLS HIS EXPERIENCE
American Doctor Relates Story of
Mistreatment by Mexicans to
Secretary of State Bryan.

Observation-Disclosures that he is
in fear of his life, DR.. E. WI. Ryan,
recently held captive for two weeks
by Mexican federals, declined upon
his arrival here to give more than
mere outline of his capture.
Ryan told his story to Secretary
Bryan, his personal friend. He will
repeat it to President Wilson. The
outcome of these conferences, the doc
tor admitted, might have the effect of
lifting the ban of silence, which the
federals placed upon him under pen
atty of death.
Doctor Ryan intimated that he had
been subjected to cruelty and priva-
ton amounting to torture. He said
his mind was a blank upon some of
the days he was held prisoner. Phys
ically and mentally. he said, the strain
had been terrific"

MELLEN BLAMES Up. MORGAN
Says Dead Financier Was Real Boss
of Hartford and New Haven
Railroad.

Washington, D. C.-The goat has
had his inning. Charles s. Mellen,
for ten years nominally the head of
the New Haven Railroad, in reality
office boy for the late ]. P. Nor
gan, William Rockefeller and the big
financial magnates who dominated
that system, has carried the respon-
sibility directly to these men.
From his letter files Mellen pro-
duced remarkable prophecy written
in 1907. Speaking of the now motor
ious Westchester railway deal, in
which the New Haven paid 35 million
dollars for only twenty-six miles of
rails and franchises, Mellen then said:
Many regulations will be damaged
and in the end l will be the goat

Better Soldier Than Statesman.

One hundred years ago on the forty
fifth anniversary of his birth, Lord
Wellington was rewarded with the
title of duke in recognition of his
success in the Peninsula campaign
against the French. At the same time
the house of commons voted 81, OO0,-
600 for the support of his new dignity.
Within little more than year the
famous soldier was destined to win the
great victory at Waterloo and to be
made the commander-in-chief Of the
British forces. Later, in life the duke
of Wellington became British prime
minister, but the strong personal quail
ties that had helped him to success
as soldier were not the qualities that
best bef1tted for the premiership, and
the career of the duke as a statesman
added little to his fame.

Labor Leaders Notify Congress
that Antitrust Laws Must
Not Include Unions.
PROPOSITION is REJECTED
Subcommittee Turns Down Gompers
and His Lieutenants-Fight to Be
Carried to Floor of House.

Washington, D. C.-Organized labor
has served notice on the judiciary
committee of the house that if any
antitrust bills are passed they must
include not merely indirect exemption
of labor unions and farmers oranges,
but specific exemption of "all acts of
such organizations.
The judiciary subcommittee had
agreed to exempt any of the '1egiti-
mate functions" of labor unions, but
the leaders of organized labor, as
result of a crucial and dramatic test
which involved the prestige and pow
er of the President-of the United
States, demanded that complete i'm
munity should be given to their or
CARNATIONS.
The demand was rejected and Sam
uel Gompers and his heutenants an
nounced that they would carry the
fight to the floor of the house. AS
previously announced in the inquiry,
the defeat of the entire antitrust pro
gram now seems certain.
A Governmental Crisis.
Involving as it did the future atti-
tude of the government towards all
corporations, and especially towards
| organized labor, the conference be-
tween the labor chiefs and the mem
bers of the judiciary committee was
virtually a governmental crisis.
Trust legislation will be taken into
| the house for consideration under a
| special rule on which the rules com
mittee will report early in the day.
Final conferences on plans were held
and there was no change in the pro-
| posal to limit debate to forty hours
| on the three bills on the program
| the Trade Commission bill, the Omni-
| bus Antitrust bill and the measure
| to regulate the issue of railroad Sc
curities.
To Wait for House to Act.
Further consideration of the anti
| trust legislation in the senate prob
| ably will be delayed until the house
| has passed the bill to create a trade
commission. The senate interstate
commerce committee, in charge OF
| this legislation, has completed its
| hearings on the Omnibus Trust bill,
framed by its subcommittee, but eff
/ forts to get a quorum to consider it
| have failed and it was generally un-
| derstood that many members prefer
| to wait until the House Trade Com
mission bill comes over to the senate
before taking up the subject again.
