 T H on Stand by the Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Charles S. Mellen, former president of the New York and New Haven railroad, will be a witness this week before the United States Commerce Commis- sion and will be asked to tell of the many financial deals by which the railroad was footed of millions of dollars and it's stock made almost worthless.
 The attorneys for the commission are confident that they will be able to trace the many deals by which the money of the company was turn ed into the hands of the Wall street financiers.
 The attorneys representing Mellen, however, are expected to advise their client not to answer any questions that will incriminate him, and it is expected that the commission. will have to seek elsewhere for the de sired information, and still others expect that Mellen's memory will be exceptionally bad and that he will fail to recall the details of the deals in quired into.
