The acquisition Of the Rhode Island
trolley lines by the New Haven railroad
was taken up by solicitor Folk. Mr.. Mel
len said he originally began negotiations
with Randell Morgan and Thomas f. Doc
Ian OF Philadelphia, but that the negotia-
tons were broken of.
Mr.. Folk exhibited a letter TO Mr. Mel
len and asked him II that was the one
which ended the negotiations
Mr. Mcllen said II was This letter.
dated May -, 1906, follows:
My DEAR MIR MoRGAN: T-ur
favor OF the cath was duly received.
My committee has met to-day and has
carefully considered our correspond
ence. beginning with your favor OF
the 22d aud ending with that OF the
2tth. above referred to. We regret
that the position OF yourself and as
sociates is such II was impossible to
separate these two properties. but we
are of the opinion 1t would be an
unwise transaction for us in view OF
the present condition prevailing in
financial circles to extend our credit
to the extent necessary TO handle them
both. Therefore, as you oner no AL
tentative. We are compelled to con.
slider the negotiations closed.
The two properties referred to are un-
derstood TO have been tho trolley lines
and gas plant in Rhode island.
Trolicys Losing Venture.
Mr. Folk developed from the witness
that ultimately the New Haven did take
over the trolley lines: that the New Ha-
ven guaranteed securities TO the extent
OF Sla,9SO.OO0 in doing SO and that now
the New Haven In losing something he
tween $500 600 and $500. 900 q year on the
trolley lines acquired.
q. What individual saw YOU with refer
ence to the acquisition OF these lines
and was responsible for changing your
mind with reference to the matter? \.
I saw Mr. Morgan. Senator Aldrich and.
| think Mr.. Lilley.
Q. What did Senator Aldrich have 70
do with the deal A. think he called
at my house one day at Stockbridgc and
asked me what was the status OF the
negotiations I told him that from my
standpoint did not think I could yield
TO the terms. He said that he too thought
they were too severe and he said that he
was going to see Mr.. Doolan. | believe
IL was as result OF this visit that the
negotiations were resumed.
O Did the fact that he was a United
States Senator ut that time have any
thing to do with Il? \. 7 don't know
] thinl; he was n large stakeholder
Q. What did ne say to YOU that caused
YOU to think that he had n financial In
terest In the Rhode Island trollcys? A.
II was the general impre ssion. I don't
think he ever told me nc held any stock.

now that Senator Nldrich had a CON

 BIG FEATURE TODAY
NEW CENTRAL HAS PROGRAM OF SIX GOOD REELS FOR THEIR
 PATRONS TODAY.

Of all the military pictures that have been attempted since motion picture industry took to making a re- vival of battles of ancient and modern history, there has been none that has aroused the intense interests among the patrons of this amusement, and scholars and instructors generally as has The Battle of Shiloh" the great four-reel martial masterpiece. which comes to the New Central Theatre to. day for the first time. This feature was made by the Lubin motion pie ture company and in order that a most perfect picture should be ob- tained, hundreds of men and horses, representing the northern and south ern armies, in fact, were transported at enormous expense to the scene of that historic conflict and there fought the battle all over again. It is a four-reel wonder. is this film, and by far the most exciting and stu penedous of any feature of this kind .ere this season.
 In connection with this reel thers will also be The Mystery of the Talk ing Wire" in which a quick solution of the cause of the death of prom inent official is made by a clever de- tective, who merely saw in the flash of lightning enough to unravel very intricate telegraph system and brush away all doubt as to the crime.
 The Pathe Weekly, bigger and bet ter than ever, is also on the program, as Is Buy Wool" in which the Bio graph players have all kinds Of fun at the expense of the bulls and the bears on the New York stock ex- change. This means there will be six big reels offered today, so don't miss any of them.

THE LYRIC.

The secret of the beauty and at tractiveness of the Lyric programs lies in just two things. the fact that we receive films from the worlds greatest producers, and the fact thas we so blend our daily program be- tween pathos and comedy that there is never a dull moment. Added to these two principal features Is the beautiful theatre, the pure air and just-right temperature, the splendid five-piece orchestra and the ever-pres- ent Lyric courtesy.
 Today's program Is one of those delightfully."- blended affairs that can not help but win your approval.
 The Conquered Hate" in two grip ping reels, is a Pathe picture play,
