ANXIETY STILL FELT
 FOR CONSUL SULLIVAN
Broken Railroad Communication Be- tween SaltiIio and Mexico City Hold as Reason for Not Hearing from Him.

Washington. May >1s.-Activity here in the Mexican situation was notably relaxed today, the evident purpose on the part of the Washington govern ment being to give the mediation con ference in Niagara Falls the amplest opportunity to work out it's plans with the least possible complication or in- fuence from the outside.
 A special telegraph wire from the headquarters of the American repre- senetatives at the Falls to the White House was installed during the day ing the president in close touch with every step of the proceedings.
 Anxiety over the persistent lack of information as to American Consul John R. Silliman at Saltillo and the ten members of the Smith family re- ported held at -Tonola, Chiapas, con- tinued at the state department and diplomatic efforts to secure definite reports were pressed.
 The Brazilian minister in Mexico City reported to the state department that representations had been made to the Mexican foreign office several times concerning the Smiths and that the Brazilian consul in Chiapas had been urged to use his good offices to secure the release of the Americans Broken railroad communication be- tween Mexico City and Saltillo was ac- cepted as the reason for the failure to hear from Silliman.
 The Brazilian minister, Secretary Bryan announced. reported conditions quiet in Mexico City.

Washington, May 19-A story of absolute domination of the affairs of the New Haven railroad system by the late J. P AIorgan-of the spending of millions in awed and ignorant si- lence at the command of the aa-pow- erful ruler-was told to the Inter state Commerce commission today by Charles s. MelIen, former president of the New Haven. It was the most ex- traordinary chapter yet unfolded in the commissions inquiry into the all legged exploitation of the great New England railroad and disappearan of fortunes from it's treasury through acquisition at extravagant prices of subsidiary properties.
 There was not time in 8 single day to crowd details of all the incidents and events dealt with in the witness testimony. He barely touched upon some of the big things, paving the way for exhaustive questioning that will continue tomorrow.
 Members of the commission, coun- se1 and interested spectators fairly hung upon every word of MT. Mellen today as his story developed dra- matically under the examination of Chief Counsel Folk. Everybody listened with absorbed attention and at times evident a1nazement. as he re- lated how he had stood in awe of MT Morgan, because of his compre- hensive grasp and perfect prescience of financial matters: how he had consulted with Theodore Roosevelt, then president of the United States, regarding the purchase of the Boston and Maine Railroad; how he had pre- vented the late E. H. Hartman from acquiring the Boston and Maine by getting it himself for the New Ha- ven; and how he had dealt with the late Police Inspector Thomas F. Byrnes of New York to obtain the Westchester stock held by persons with whom he assumed to be connect ed with Tammany Hall
 As when on the stand last week Mir. Mcllen gave his testimony with ap parent willingness, answering every question readily and conciseIy-that is, every question except one. He did try. to avoid telling about the time when Mr. Morgan humiliated him by formation concerning the Westchester president of the New Haven, he was entitled When he finally related the incident. his face was drawn into hard lines, and he clasped his hands over the table in front of him al- most convulsiveiy. His voice indi- cated no signs of emotion. however, continuing clear, distinct and resonant
 Later he even gave the story a touch of honor. When Directors Hemingway and Skinner of the New Haven demanded of him why the road was expending SIT. 100000 on the Westchester purchase he said, he of fered to appoint each of them com

BEckER's COUNSEL TRYING
 TO PROVE "FRAMEUP."
Matched by Bald Jack" Rose in Effort to Save Himself and Companions from Murder Charge.

New York, May 1s.-Seven witness es today testified for Charles Becker in an effort to prove the one-time head of the strong arm squad' the victim of a ''frameup" matched by Bald JaciS' Rose, the informer, as a means of saving himself an dhis com- panions, ''Bridgie'' Webber, Harry NalIon and Sam Schepps, from being placed on trial for the murder of Her man Rosenthai, the Tenderloin gam bier, who "squealed" to the district attorney. The defense was probably one-third completed when court was adjourned until tomorrow.
 Rosenthal, the defense is trying to prove, came to his death as the result of a gamblers war. Several of the defense's witnesses were used to dis credit the testimony offered by Rose, Nebber and Vallon, to show that Webber had repeatedly expressed his sorrow for having taken part in the 'frameup," and that on many occa- sions he had said Becker had nothing to do with the murder.
 Mrs. Becker may testify tomorrow The defense expects to close its case before Thursday night

EVERYTHING READY
 FOR MEDIATION MEET.
Elimination. of Huerta to Be First Suggestion for Consideration of Msx- jeans.

Niagara Falls, Ont May 19.-Every- thing was ready tonight for the open ing here tomorrow of the mediation conference for the settlement of the and the Huerta government in Mexico. Three o'clock in the afternoon Is the hour set for the first session
 With the arrival late tonight from Washington of the two American dele gates, Justice Joseph R. Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman, the personnel of the conference awaited for its cOm- pletion of the third mediator, Eduardo Suarez, the Chilean minister, and the three Mexican delegates, Rabasa, ROdA riguez and Elguero. The latter are due from New York early tomorrow. MT. Suarez was expected late tonight, but as he had failed to arrive at a late hour it was assumed that he had de- layed his journey and would not reach the scene until tomorrow
 Ambassador Da Cana of Brazil and Minister Naon of Argentina were busy throughout today completing many of the details of the conference. They devoted themselves especially to the formulation of tentative rules of pro- ce1ure and plans for organization. abeyance pending approval by the Chilean mediator, it was understood that among other things, the rules would call for informal discussions as preC60enI to all MISCELLANEOUS. The negotiations, 1t was said, would, for purposes of record, take the form of protocols of what had taken place, signed by all parties to the negOtia- tions, and drawn up as occasion de- manded.
 While the two mediators continued to maintain the strfctest reticence as to the nature of the proposals which they are about to submit, 1t was gen. erally accepted here tonight as ex- tremely probable that the elimination of Huerta would be their first sug- gestion for the consideration of the Mexican delegates. It was moro than ever believed that, with the attitude of President Wilson on the subject so well known, the mediators would be less hopeful of success in the Mexican representatives prove unwilling to grant this important concession.
 The broad international scope of the proceedings and the importance which is attached to them by the other coun- tries of South and Central America was evidenced by the arrival here to- day of Dr. Gon7alo 8. Cordova, min fster from Ecuador to the United States. He declared that he had come with instructions from his government and that he intended to inform his government promptly by cable of all important developments during the progress of the mediation.

mfttee of one to find out; that he had ''barked his shins" in a futile en- deayor to obtain information from MT. Morgan and that they could try if they desired.
 They ducked' concluded MT. Mel len, grimly and a ripple of laughter ran around the room.
 Particular interest was aroused by MT. Mellen's account of his confer ence with the then President Roose- Boston and Maine. He explained that he Twas a great admirer of Colonel Roosevelt and frequently conferred with him about important questions. Colonel Roosevelt said to him at that conference, according to the testimony, that he was not a lawyer and was not prepared to advise what he should do about the proposed purchase, but on MT. Mellen'S statement of the Situa- ton he thought there might be nothing objectionable in it. MT. Mellen added that the president said he could countenance no illegal action in the matter and suggested that he confer with Commissioner Lane of the In- terstate Commerce commission. From MT. Lane he said he got no expression of opinion.
 A letter was submitted by MT. Folk written May 27, 1907. by Henry w. Whitney to MT Mellen, suggesting that he "say something at an early day touching the Boston and Maine mat ter;" that "a large public Is still to be reckoned with" and concluded with this paragraph:
 "T have thought it possible the Tit tie father at Washington might liks to get his finger into the pie, in which case, if it should happen before the public had become reconcfIed to the change, might result in infinite harm to all your interests"
 the reply to that letter made the fol- lowing day. fin which MT. Mellen wrote:
 sTt has been thought advisable by all concerned that just as little in formation should get out to the news papers regarding the Boston 6 Maine matter as is absolutely necessary This was agreed upon by Mfr Ledyard, MT. Futile and myself and we are acting on this theory at the present time. The Washington situation I have. I think, completely cared for. One never knows for a certainty regarding mat ters there. but the ground has been plcwed and every chance for trouble considered and. I think, suc- cessful1y eliminated"
 Mir. Mellen told of his relations with John L. Billiard and of the transac- tions between the New Haven and the Billiard company. He fntimated with a smile that MT. Billiard was a shrewd trader, saying that, when he was conducting with him any busi- ness, he never looked anywhere ex- cept straight into Billiards eyes.
