MORGAN PROFITS
ON new HAVEN
Amounted to S35O,OO0 From
Financial Investments
INVOLVED over S333,0O0,OO0
Banking House Lost $183 800 on Out
right urchases-MiIIbrook Com
pany Affair Explained, but No Light
as to Where Money Vanished-MeI-
len DiscIaims Blame In the Matter

The financial relations of the New
Haven railroad and of J. P. Morgan
& Co. since 1894 are described in full
in statement given out by the bank
ing house in response to request
from Chairman Elliott of the railroad
company's board of directors.
This statement shows that although
the house of Morgan represented the
New Haven in financial transactions
involving more than 1888 ZOO 900, its
total profit was only $3.50 200. On
certain transactions the banking house
suffered large losses, according to
report.
On outright purchases the banking
house lost S1S3 800. IA, according to
the statement Commissions on other
transactions before the Morgan COM
pany became fiscal agents Of the New
Haven made profit Of $14S ,645. 25-in
about seventeen years-While similar
commissions while the company acted
as the New Ravens fiscal agents ag-
gregated, in less than three years,
1884 ,980.01.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the report is 7 the Morgan
company's version of the MilibrOOk
company affair. 1t shows that the
New Haven borrowed Sill 1876 900 for
that company, through which the
railroad administered the affairs OF
the New York, Westchester and Bos-
ton company. The Morgan company's
connection with the matter is made
clear by the statement.
Of the $12 900, 600 invested by the
New Haven in the Westchester road ,
Commissioner Prouty Of the interstate
commerce commission said: $50 far
as records go, this money has van
ished ito thin air."
In the Morgan cOmpany's statement
it appears that the loan was made
and repaid, and that the securities
put up against it were returned to the
Millbrook company on Oct. 80, 1907.
The Morgan statement, of course
does not answer the question: What
were the New Ravens relations with
the Millbrook company in regard tt
the loan?"
Prouty pointed out in his report that
the Westchester road cost the New
Haven s34, 900, 900, a sum So 200,
600 more than the property was
worth, from the New Ravens owl
valuation. What disposition was made
| by the New Haven of the money
loaned by the house Of Morgan has moi
| been made clear.
The statement from J. P. Morgan
e Co. goes on to say that the New
Haven, in a letter from former Presi-
dent Mellen, took full responsibility
for the New Ravens relations with
| the Millbrook company.
Mellen declared over the telephone
last night that any Of his acts in con-
nection with the Millbrook company
merely carried out the wishes of the
board of directors. At that time the
house Of Morgan was represented II
the roads directorate by J. P Nor
gan himself.
