The New Haven arystory.

Charles S. Mcllen. former president
or the Now Haven, has been telling on
the witness stand the most sordid
story OF corporation corruption that the
country has heard since the life In
surance Investigation.
In many respects. tho two stories
run parallel Wo havo the samo be-
tra.al of trust by highly respectable
Hnancicrs: tho Same constituencies
waste OF other peoples money: tho
Sumo alliances with crooked politics;
the same debauchtDB OF newspapers
aud of iublc opinion: tho same trail
Of tniqutty and ruin.
What was in tho minds or AR. Morgan
and Mr.. foCkcfcllcr and their asso-
ciatcs when they forced tho New Haven
into this policy, and guided IL to plumber
amt disaster? They did not need
money, for they each OF them were
many m'llionaircs in one. They did
not need power: for they had power,
and iucXhaustible means OF acquiring
further power. What liz moro to the
point. the vnst power that they welded
WAS duo largely to their reputation fol
financial integrity. prudence and en-
Eaeity-the very antitheses OF the
