"Paper" Corporation Purchase OF
Sound Boats Linked to New
Haven by Witness.

The connecting link between the Mellen
administration OF the New Haven sys-
tenn and the purchase. through paper
corporation. of the Metropolitan Steam
ship Company's rival steamships TO do
away with Sound traffic competition,
was more definitely established yesterday
when Pierre Jay, vice-president OF the
Bank of the Manhattan Company, told
of visits to him made by e. d. Robbins,
tho New Ravens counsel, in preparation
for tho transfer. Mr.. Jays account OF
the mysterious manner in which the ac-
count OF the dummy New England
Securities Company was opened IN the
Bank of the Manhattan Company was
told before Nicholas Birdsell, special
commissioner appointed by the Supreme
Court of New Jersey in the acton
brought by Miss Jennie X. Morse sister
of Charles W. Morse, for the appoint
ment of a receiver for the Metropolitan
Steamship Company.
Miss Morse is trying to recover part
of about 100000 paid for the steamship
holding company, which she says Is
wrongfully withheld from the stockhold-
ers both OF the steamship and the rail-
road company.
To-day Miss Morse's lawyers will make
an effort 10 get from Chales 5. Melieh'
Il. d. Robbins and other officials OF the
New Haven more direct proof or the al
legged illegal manner In which the Mofse
steamship line was acquired.
All have been subpoenaed 10 appear pc
fore the special commissioner at the
Hotel Taft, in New Haven, this morning.
Lewis Cass Ledyard, one OF the Ne"
Ravens directors, was 10 testify yester-
day, but counsel for the metropolitan
Steamship Company, the defendant, an
nounced that he would be called later
in the hearings.
The testimony taken at the hearing,
which was held In the rooms of the New
York County Lawyers Association, is
another illustration of the many compli-
Gated devices employed in building up
the New Haven systems monopoly oil
New England rail and water traffic. At
least one corporation was organized and
afterward dissolved solely 10 buy the
steamship line, and as If in response to
a tug at string, various officials. identi-
fed only by their names, appeared 10
perform certain duties, and then returned
to their positions as stenographers or
bookkeepers
Through the testimony the name OF
John l.. Billiard. president Of the Billiard
Company of Meriden, Conn, figured in
way which has not yet been explained
before the special commissioner. He ap-
peared when law firm made one of its
stenographers treasurer of the New Eng
land Securities Company. which bought
the steamship line. He was present when
+. d. Robbins introduced the treasurer
of this company TO Pierre Jay as the
authorized person to sign the checks Of
the company; but apparently he had no
official association with any OF the
transactions.

New Haven, IN compliance with the laws
OF Massachusetts. To do this II was
necessary to fix price for outstanding
stock. and. according TO the report OF
the Railroad Commission Of Massachu-
sctts for the year 1911, the Boston "
Maine owned all but 30 shares. The
price fixed for its redemption was $50
The Interstate Commerce Commission
also has records showing that at meet
ing Of the directors of the New England
Navigation Company In April. 1911. the
purchase Of some $500 shares Of Wor-
ccster, Nashua and Rochester stock was
ordered at a price of 100 This sale was
carried on through directors. who bor-
rowed the money from the navigation
company The dividends on the stock
were charged to the interest on the money
borrowed
Mr. Folks return from New York Is
awaited with interest. as there is a gem
erai feeling that no further witnesses
will be called in the New Haven inves-
tieation. The insistence of Commissioner
McChord that Lewis Cass Ledyard sign
n waiver of immunity before going on
the witness stand is thought to be part
of the general plan of Mr.. Folk and
Commissioner McChord TO ask every
present and former director of the New
Haven subp1naed TO go through the
same procedure. The quickness with
which Mr.. Ledyard signified his willing
ness TO waive an immunity and his de-
mand that he be placed on the stand as
quickly as possible has changed the com
plexion of things entirely.
From sources other than the Depart
ment of Justice 1t was learned to-day that
the Attorney General is holding the pos
si5ility of criminal prosecution over the
heads of certain New Haven directors TO
force a successful conclusion to the dis
solution proceedings he has begun. These
hinge entirely upon the action Of the Mas
sachusetts Legislature in amending the
charter of the Boston Railroad Holding
Company so that it can dispose of its
Boston & Maine stock. The former COM
pany. which is controlled by the New
Haven, cannot under its present charter
dispose OF its holdings in the Boston &
Maine.
Once the success OF the dissolution pro-
ceedings is assured 1t will be up TO the
Attorney General TO make good his asser-
ton that he will prosecute those believed
TO be responsible for the New Havens
financial condition at the present time
According 10 well informed persons in
the Department Of Justice. 1t is the Attor-
ney Generals intention to lay the whole
Nav Havon uueetiou before tho federal
grand jury in New York in the latter part
Of June il the dissolution proceedings are
then out Of the way.

mission Compares 1t with
N. H. Records.
WITNESS PRESENT AT
w., N. & r. DEAL
Minutes Show II Preceded His
"Jerusalemw Conversation with
the Late J. p. Morgan.
fFrom The TrLbune nureau.l

Washington, May 27.--Further discrep-
ancies between the testimony OF Charles
s. Mellen at the New Haven investiga-
ton and certain records now in possession
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
were brought TO light to-day.
Mr.. Mellen testified that he knew moth
ing about the proposed purchase Of the
Worcester, Nashua & Rochester Rail
road By the Boston a Maine until Mr.
Morgan called him on the telephone and
told him that he had bought the 1854
shares, a majority interest, held by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF New
York, at a price OF 100 or 165. He de-
clared he had been astounded at the price
and had exclaimed "Jerusalem!' when
Mr.. Morgan told him what he had paid
for this majority stock.
Later Mr.. Folk produced a letter writ
ten by Mr.. Mellen to l.. y. futile. presi-
dent of the Boston & Maine. in which the
purchase of the w. y. q X. road was
discussed. After reading this, Mr.. Mellen
said he was in error when he testified
and that his memory had been refreshed
This letter was written some time before
this telephone conversation with Mr.
Morgan.
Mr. Mellens memory might have been
still further refreshed. it is believed, if
Mr. Folk had shown to him copy of
the minutes Of the special committee Of
the New Haven Railroad, appointed for
the express purpose of purchasing the
road for the Boston & Maine. Mellen, as
president, was an eX-ofiicio member of
the committee and. according to the
minutes Of a meeting on January %. 1910,
il was voted to purchase the Mutual Life
holdings at 100 per share. This meeting
occurred about ten days before the futile
letter was written and also some time be-
fore the telephone conversation Mr.. Mel
len testified he had with Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Mellen was present at this meet
ing, the records show. Other records in
possession OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission show that another large
block of the stock of the w, \. & r.
was purchased at 160.
1t apparently was the intention to get
at least two-thirds of the stock, so that
the company could be merged with the
