DENY INJUNCTION CHARGE
Railroad Directors Say They
Plan No Consolidation.

A general denial that consolidation
of the New York Central and Harlem
River Railroads is contemplated by the
directors Of either company is made IN
an answer filed yesterday in the Fed
eral District Court by the Harlem
road and its directors to Sherman
law injunction suit brought last April
by the minority stockholders of the
Harlem road to prevent the merger.
The defendant directors include
William Rockefeller. George F. Baker,
William X. Vanderbilt, Frederick W.
Vanderbilt, ". X. Vanderbilt, Jry
Chaunccy NJ. Depew and James Still
man. Their answer is similar in gen
eral way to the answer filed by the
New York Central and the directors
of the road named above.
The defendants admit that consoli-
dation of the roads would create a
new corporation in which an indefeasl-
BILE right to all properties, privileges
and franchises on the part OF the
minority stockholders, under the Cen
trails lease OF the Harlem, would be
vested and in which the plaintiffs
would be guaranteed no certain return.

MELLEN SNEERS AT
TROUBLE MAKERS"
Blames Them and "Claptrap of
Political Demagogues" for
New Haven Charges.
tBy Telegraph to The Tribune. J

Boston, July 22.-Charles S. Mellen
in an interview to-day blamcs "protes-
sjonal trouble makers" for the misfort-
unes of the New Haven Railroad and
the "claptrap of political demsgogues'
for the feeling against former directors
Of the New Haven.
IL want to be left alone" said Mr..
Mcllen, but it looks as though | shall
be kept pretty busy for some time an
swcring to indictments for all sorts oil
imaginary crimes. Well, anyhow, IT
will serve to give me mental exercise
and | never was much OF hand at
being idle. hardly know what the
word vacation means. Work and lots
Of it has been my only hobby.
LEFT to itself, unhampered by the
politicians and professional trouble
maSers. New Haven would be earning
good dividends to-day. ! am sincerely
sorry to for those who have lost so
heavily and who can i'll afford 1t, but
these are days of reform. II seems
TO be the fashion, particularly IN Wash
II. ton. to charge successful business
men. especially railroad men. with all
sorts Of corruption and dishonesty.
81 presume the directors Will have TO
stand suit for robbing the New Haven
Of few hundred millions. So long
as political demagogues can continue
10 make these absurd charges and the
press continues to print their clap
trap. just so long will a superficial
rubic believe that the former New
Haven directors are really guilty, even
before they are tried"
Mr.. Mellen resented the imputation
tht he sought the opportunity to tes-
tify before the Interstate Commerce
Commission in order TO obtain i'm
munity under the Grand Trunk indict-
ment. His counsel, William A. Grim,
of New York, who was with him here,
said:
or. Mellen testified because he had
been subpenaed, and the charge that
he deliberately sought an opportunity
to testify in order TO escape the con-
sequences of the indictment is I'M
qu. ,fedly false"
