RAGS ON VAGRANT
Old Man From fo-Cent Lodging House
Proves To Be a Mine of
Wealth.

New York, May 21--An old man,
poorly clad and apparently in the last
stages Of vagrant's career, was taken
from the lodging house at 262 Bowery
to Bellevue hospital. He is suffering
from scalp disease that because of
his age makes his condition serious.
AT the hospital DIR. Rutledge, in charge
of admissions, examined him. Inside his
clothing the doctor felt suspicious humps,
SO he ordered the patient stripped and
searched. The humps were newspapers
in which We're wrapped perfectly good,
if somewhat Anticipated, bills of all de-
nominations to the value of $4,000. The
largest humps contained bank books OF
many savings institutions, showing that
Carl Schmidt had $4,000 to his credit.
Schmidt would tell nothing about
himself except to say that he was rs
years old and had no relatives. He gave
his best friend as Anton Neischel of the
lodging house from which he was taken.
The lodging house at 262 Bowery is
of the kind where 10 cents a night is
charged for bed and rs cents for a
room. According to the clerk on duty
there, Schmidt never spent more than 10
cents a night for his sleeping aecommo-
dations.

million dollar kid" who is being sued
by Grace La Rue for divorce, is report
ed already preparing for third plunge
at the matrimonial lottery. Miss Hilma
Nelson, modiste at POS Boylston street,
| is to be Mrs. Chandler No. 3, according
to rumor, If the divorce proceedings in
New York permit. Chandler, who is liv-
ing in Boston hotel, has so far made
! no statement. He and Miss Nelson have
been seen together often on automobile
rides and at the theatre. When asked
if she were engaged to Chandler, Miss
Nelson said:
byron and have been together few
times. But cannot see how anyone can
consider us engaged. II would be absurd
under existing conditions. There has
been no mention of marriage by either
of u.s."
When asked if she would marry
Chandler if his wife wins divorce, Miss
Nelson said:
you had better see Byron. He is
away at present, and when he returns l
may be able TO discuss the matter with
more freedom"
Questioned regarding a $4,000 automo-
bile which Chandler is reported to have
given to her, Miss Nelson declared she

cd the New Haven. One was in the pur-
chase by the Boston & Maine in 1911
of block of 1864 shares of the
Worcester, Nashua & Rochester railroad.
The witness testified that Mr.. Morgan
bought this big block OF stock without
any authorization so far as he knew
from the directors of the Boston &
Maine and without consulting him. He
said that Mr.. Morgan called him on the
phone, said he had bought the stock at
Sl65 share and asked Mr.. Mellen to
write to President Tuttle OF the Boston
& Maine and tell him what had been
done.
When Mr.. Mellen later was confronted
with letter written by him he revised
his testimony to the extent of saying
that Mr.. Morgan had probably talked
with him in advance about the purchase
of this road but never said anything of
the price until he called Mr.. Mellen over
the telephone.
Asked ii the Mutual Life Insurance
company did not receive Sl65 a share for
its Worcester, Nashua & Rochester
stock, while other holders got $50, Mr..
Mellen said stock held in big blocks al.
ways brought better prices.
It was brought out that the total
investment of the Boston & Maine in
the w. n. & r. was S7,925,000. The
Boston & Maine, as it turned out, would
have been better Off to have continued
its lease of the other road. but things
had different aspect at the time of the
purchase. The Boston & Maine conduct.
ed the deal itself, without reference to
the New Haven.
BY law, the Mutual Life was forced
to sell its W. n. & r. stock and when
j. P. Morgan told Mellen that he had
paid sl65 share for it, Mr.. Mellen said
"Jerusalemlp He did not demonstrate,
not so much because he was afraid to do
so as because he had faith in Morgan's
judgment.
Asked If Morgan's was the master
mind in New Haven affairs, Mr.. Mellen
replied that it was the master mind
pretty nearly everywhere that Morgan
was.

Throng of Negroes Form Honor Escort
in March Down Pennsylvania
Avenue.

Washington, May 2l.--Marching down
Pennsylvania avenue with their white
mule in the lead, General Coxey's army
made a triumphal entry into the capital

trudged along the sidewalks, lured by
the strains of fife and drum, as an hon

In marked contrast to his capture"
of Washington during the Cleveland sd-
ministration, when his followers were
arrested for ignoring Keep off the

"army" of six privates yesterday was
given protection by the police. The blue

Coxey's advance upon Congress was
made by stages. He marched yesterday
from Georgetown, a suburb, to Penn

THE COLONEL STIRRED
BY NEW POLICY
Colombia Apology and Indemnity "Un-
thinkable" Mel

Oyster Bay, May 2l.--In rather live
| ly stage of convalescence, Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt sat on his sunny YER
anda at Sycamore hill yesterday and
talked of things that were of greatest
interest to his fellow citizens While he
would not discuss politics, he touched at
one point upon the testimony given on
commission by Charles S. Mellen, ex-
president of the New Haven railroad,
touching the Roosevelt 20. X" of the
Boston & Maine and New Haven merger
The colonel had not read the testi-
mony, but it's substance had been re-
peated to him by his callers. From
what Colonel Roosevelt said the pres
ident had signified his approval of the
proposal to consolidate the railroads.
Mr.. Roosevelt stood then, as now, for
governmental supervision of such merg-
ers. Granting that there was no legal
obstacle to the merger, he told Mr.. Mel
len, he saw no reason for Directing, but
he would have the merger under govern
mental supervision.
He critized the Colombian treaty, say
ing the payment of the S25,00o,000 to Co
lombia was absolutely unthinkable. As
for the apology, it was as if some fu-
ture president of the United States
should apologize to Huerta for the oc-
cupatien OF Vera Cruz.
As to Panama canal tolls, he had moth
ing to add to his cabled interview. "We
have a right to exempt our coastwise
shipping" be said. 'If there is any
doubt about it, it is right to submit It
to arbitration, but not to surrender in
advance"
The colonel appeared greatly refreshed
after nights rest. He came out on
the veranda about 10 o'clock wearing an
old riding coat and gray knickerbockers.
He looked the old Roosevelt except for
the girth, which had diminished so that
the colonel had been forced to punch
another hole in his belt.

ers heartily. "I'm going to be just as
well as / ever was. Getting back into
a colder climate ! expect to have a re-
turn of the fever but I'll be all right"
He looked out over the wide lawn where
the wistaria splsshed the green with
filmy color and beyond to where the
towering dogwoods bleached their blooms
in the morning sun.

that's good The tropics haven't any

The colonel was in conference yester- |
day with George w. Perkins. Colonel |
Roosevelt expects to make one of the |
most arduous fights of his career. In !
September he will make trip across
the continent.

Mellen Insists Resale Of the
Stock to N. H. Was Not
a Dummy Deal
WITNESS WARY OF
FOLKS QUESTIONING
Story of Morgan's Purchase
of w. N. & r. Line for
Boston & Maine

Washington, May 2l.--"They sent me
to chase man who had got three
months start on me-" said Charles S.
Mellen, former president of the New Ha-
ven, in his testimony before the inter
state commerce commission yesterday.
"That minute was entered three
months after Billiard got away with the
stuff"
The "stuff" was 81 1922 of the New
Ravens money and the minute referred
to was one in the record of the New
Ravens board of directors showing q
nominal profit to the railroad instead of
a loss on the Billiard transaction in Bos-
ton & Maine stock.
The board in this minute assumed that
the Sl,644,0 900 was profit to the road,
while Mr.. Mellen said it belonged to
John L. Billiard of New Haven, who had
bought the New Ravens Boston & Maine
stock and sold it back few months lat
er at a large advance.
Mr.. Mellen said that the minute and
a similar resolution in the boards record
were false or Incorrect.
His explanations of the Billiard trans
action yesterday were contradictory and
hazy and whenever cornered by Mr.. Folk
he said that the minute referred to must
have been put in the report of the board
of directors meeting in order to have
him show it to Billiard and help him in
showing more favorable terms in ac-
counting with Billiard.
According to Mr., Mellen's own testi-
mony he was negotiating for more favor
able terms with Billiard in connection
with the Boston & Maine stock transac-
ton three months after the contract was
closed and in Mellen's own words was
"signed, sealed and delivered"
Mr.. Mellen in his testimony yesterday
continued to give instances of the way
in which the late j. p. Morgan dominat
