WASHINGTON, May 21.-The un-
written history Of why Charles w.
Morse. in the heighth of ihs prosper
ity in 1907. failed to get an absolute
monopoly on Atlantic coastwiso ship
ping was made public today by for
mer President Mellen of the New
Haven. Only the personal interven-
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt. then
president, prevented Morse getting
tho steamship lines Of the New Hav-
en- system. Mellen told the interstate
commerce commission. Moree had
offered s20,00O,O0o. Mellen wanted
to sell but he came to Washington
and consulted Roosevelt. Tho latter
opposed the sale. Mellen told him II
he did not sell then he might have to
sell at lower figure. He feared the
government was about to prohibit
railways owning competing steamship
lines.
President Roosevelt promised. Mel
len said. that II the New Haven
turned down the Morse offer. he
would not be interferred with as Ions
as he, Roosevelt. Was president
Morse was turned down ana when
Attorney General Bonaparte filed a
Sherman law equity suit hate IN 1907.
NO mention was made in the papers Of
a steamship monopoly.
Mellen said he did not know II the
steamship lines were left out OF these
proceedings because Of R0osevelt's
promise, but he said:
II have always preferred TO believe
that it was. l respected Theodore
Roosevelt very highly and 1t was
pleasant to know that he was man
Of his word"
Outside Of the Roosevelt topic, the
chief incident in Mellen's story Of the
interstate commerce commissions to-
day, was his bold declaration that
government ownership in this coun.
try was certain to come. In this con.
nection, witness made an impassion-
ed defense Of the late J. P. Morgan.
whose death, in Mellen's opinion.

for acceptance or rejection Of pro-
posals.
Justice Lamar and Judge Lehman
would commen. in no way as to the
session held last night. When they
will again sit with the mediators is
not known, Judge Lehman declared,
but added that a conference could be
called within few minutes at any
time.
The mediators met with the Mexi-
can delegates at 1870. Two mem
bers OF the Ontario police in uniform
and service hats were on hand in the
hotel today. When the mediation con-
versations are in progress, one stands
guard outside the door, ordering away
any one who may appear near the
conference room.
Slowly the wheels of diplomacy
turned today toward The establish
ment Of peace in Mexico. While
women sat on the broad verandas of
the Clifton hotel, sewing or reading
children played in the lobby and the
cool mists from the roaring falls
swept over toward these scenes OF
peace, the mediators of the three
South American countries sat with the
delegates Of General Huerta in their
conference room and discussed the
fate of the nation. For an hour the
Mexican representatives were closeted
with the mediators in the first Of the
informal conference they have held
with them. They went to the confer
ence room at 1880 and 1t was 1890
before Senior Elguero descended the
broad stairs to the lobby, his fellow
envoy. the aged Rodriguez. leaning on
his arm. While they had been dis
cussing affairs of their country, the
eleven year old son of the Argentine
representative, and two companions
played in the lobby below. The daugh-
ters OF Emilio Rabasa. the third Mex
lean delegate, had gone for walk
and others in the party were on sight
seeing trips or idling in the park.
No one today was willing to ven
ture guess as 20 when the confer
ences may be concluded. II is like q
chess match. Under ordinary, condi;
tions the game should last 4 certain
length Of time, but one move may
cause sudden termination. AS the
American delegates refused to discuss
their conference, SO did the Mexicans
today. Senior Rabasa said the confer
ence had been only a step In the pro-
ceedings. The mediators will probably
meet the American delegates again
tonight and the Mexicans expect an
other conference tomorrow.

Marriages are entered into with
levity and haste and the whole struc-
ture OF the home is shaken. The
number OF divorces granted annually,
has grown enormously and is OF the
increase. One out of eleven mar
rfages ends in divorce. Japan has the
highest divorce rate in the world;
the United States is next. Such
situation is disgrace to America.
