New Haven Probe Continues.

Washing Dominant control by

of the officials but of the properties
Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, was further empha-
sized when former President Charles
S. Mellen Of the New Haven, contin.
ued his testimony before the inter
state commerce commission. Acquf.
sition by the New Haven OF trolley
lines in Connecticut and Rhode Island
occupied much attention during the
proceedings. Mr.. Mef1en conceded
that some OF the properties had been
purchased at too high a price, but
added that they were worth more to
the New Haven at the time than to
anybody else. In purchasing the lines,
particularly those In Connecticut, he
said he encountered sharp competi.
ton" from other prospective purchas-
ers, and thereby the price was boost.
ed" It developed during the hearing
that former United States Senator Mel.
son w Mdrich OF Rhode Island, spri-
marty was instrumental in selling the
trolley system Of that state to the
New Haven. Mr.. MeIlen maintained
that trolley lines acquired by the New
Haven, generally speaking, were yalu-
able and, while they had cost a large
amount, he believed the money had
been well invested. Mr. Mellen per-
ceptibly tired. His WEAKNESS seemed
to be purely physical, however.

Huerta Sends Word He Is Willing to
Resign-Who VIII Succeed
Him?

Washington.-President Wilson told
the American commissioners who left
for the mediation conference at Mag,
ara Falls, Ontario, that the United
States government regards the settle
ment Of the Mexican problem in a
definite form as prerequisite to the
Withdrawal of the American forces
from Vera Cruz
The president gave the American
Observation-Disclosures Lamar OF the
Supremec curt of the United States;
Frederick w. lehman, former solicit
tor general and diplomatic secretary,
and H. Perceval Dodge-no specific
instructions. He told them to place
themselves in a receptive mood and
await proposals from the three South
American mediators.
But at the same time he outlined to
his representatives that peace in
Mexico seemed to him to be condi
tiOnal on the elimination of the Huerta
administration, and the establishment
in its place of strong provisional gov
ernment which would conduct an cleo
ton giving fair treatment to all fac
tons and parties and guaranteeing.
moreover, a solution OF the agrarian
problem and other internal difficulties
which have bred revolution in the
Southern republic during the last
three years.
The president wishes the Mexican
question settled on comprehensive
lines that will take into account the
economic principles for which Zapata
in the south as well as Carranza in
the north have been fighting and at
the same time will conserve the right
full interests of the people in the terri
tory now controlled by the Huerta.
government.
Huerta Offers TO Resign.
During the day dispatch came to
one of the foreign diplomats here from
a diplomatic source in Mexico City,
stating that General Huerta was ready
to resign and would permit his repre-
sentatives at the mediation conference
to eliminate him if it should become
absolutely necessary. limitations
that have come from the three Huerta
delegates since their visit to this coun-
try showed that they had realized that
Huerta's elimination was regarded as
ESSENTIAL to settlement and knew from
the outset that unless they came pre-
pared to deal with this phase of the
problem their efforts would be USE
less.
The problem causing chief concern
to diplomats in Mexico City now is
that OF the form Of administration to
be established during the interim be.
fore constitutionally elected presi-
dent could assume office.

the Grand Trunk negotiations, on
which he (Mellen) was c1iminally in

antitrust act, and that he took the
indictment that belonged to him (Mor-

indicted. Mr.. Mellen spoke with in.

to shield the elder Morgan.

CHARLES N[llEN IFSIFIfS
TELLS COMMISSION HOW THE
MILLIONS OF THE NEW HA-

President Of Road Said He Followed
instructions OF Late Pierpont
Morgan.

Washington.-As story of the late j.
P. Morgan's absolute domination in af-
fairs of the New Haven railroad, of
the spending OF millions In awed and
ignorant silence at the command OF
the all-poWerful financial ruler, was
told to the interstate commerce COM
mission by Charles s. Mellen, former
president of the New Haven. 1t was
the most extraordinary chapter yet
unfolded in the commissions inquiry
into the alleged exploitation of the
great New England railroad and dis
appearance Of fortunes from it's treas
ury through acquisition at extravagant
prices Of subsidiary properties:
There was not time in single day
in which to crowd details of all the in
cidents and events dealt with in the
witness testimony. He barely touched
on some of the big things, paving the
way for exhaustive questioning that
will continue.
Members of the commission, counsel
and interested spectators fairly hung
on every word of Mr.. Mellen as his
story developed dramatically under
the examination by Chief Counsel
Folk. Everybody listened with alb
sorbed attention and at times evident
amazement, as he related how he had
stood in awe Of Mr.. Morgan, because
of his comprehensive grasp and per-
feet prescience of financial matters;
how he had consulted with Theodore
Roosevelt, then president of the
United States, regarding the purchase
of the Boston and Maine railroad;
how he had prevented the late e. II.
Hartman from acquiring the Boston
and Maine by getting it himself for
the New Haven; and how he had
dealt with the late Police Inspector
Thomas F. Byrnes Of New York, to
obtain the Westchester stock held by
persons whom he assumed to be con-
nected with Tammany Hall.

PEACE CONFERENCE !: :|.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY
ADVANCES BEING MADE TOWARD
AN AGREEMENT ON ALL
PHASES OF SITUATION.
TAKE up AGRARIAN PROBLEM
Question Has Arisen Whether This
Subject Can Be Discussed at the
Meeting of the Mediators.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Smooth pro-
gress toward an agreement on all
phases of the Mexican problem is be-
ing made by the mediators and the
American and Mexican delegates.
This was stated with emphasis by the
mediators after day of conferences
principally with the Mexican dele
gates.
The three South Aemrican diplo-
mats made it plain that every aspect
of the Mexican situation, both inter
nal and International, had been laid
before the delegates. no formal basis
had been reached for the treatment
in any specified order of the issues
involved, nor has the relative import
ance of the main issues been defined.
The discussion thus far has been.
general. The mediators have taken
the position that they are essentially
counsellors. They will not suggest
names for the provisional presidency,
nor will they recommend any form Of
Government.
From the Mexican delegates them

corning the internal affairs of their
country and these suggestions will be
transmitted by the mediators to the
American delegates.
The theory under which the inter-
nal questions are being brought into
the discussion is that the United
States has a, right to say whom it
will recognize as provisional president
of Mexico and therefore, can indicate
in advance who will be acceptable.
On the agrarian problem too, sug-
gestions must originate from the
Mexican delegates. Thus far the
question has been whether Mexico's
land problem could properly be dis
cussed in any international tribunal
The Mexican delegates regard it as a
purely internal question.
The American delegates, on the
other hand, have maintained that the
land question has bred revolution af-
ter revolution and that some program
should be considered with view to
influencing gradual settlement of
the question. The purpose of the
American delegates, it is said, is to
place the problem so conspicuously
before the world as an obligation of
the future provisional government that
no new Administration could ignore
It.
Other aspects of the Mexican Ques-
ton, however, have not been ignored.
The relative Importance which should
be attached in the parleys to the
Tampico incident, the personnel OF
the new provisional government and
kindred questions incident to the
transition to another Administration
have been talked over in detail. No
points have been decided but enough
of the viewpoint of the American and
Mexican delegates has been recealed
to the mediators to warrant them in
expressing distinct encouragement
over the outlook.
