Washington, June 6.-That the
South American diplomats will soon
abandon their efforts to establish
peace for revolution-ridden Mexico,
and leave Niagara Falls, is the pre-
diction freely made in official circles
today. Reports received from the
mediation conference and also from
Tampico are considered discourag-
ing, but the most ominous feature is
that the administration is said to
have made the United States liable
to the charge of bad faith toward
the mediators, by permitting the
landing of arms at Tampico by the
tramp steamship Sunshine, in the
face OF assurances by Secretary of
State Bryan that orders were issued
to United States customs collectors
to refuse clearance papers to Amer
lean ships carrying arms destined for
Mexican ports.
Despite the fact that legal officers
OF the department of commerce adj
vfsed Secretary Bryan that refusal
of clearance papers to such ships, in
the absence OF an embargo is illegal,
the secretary insisted that no ships
carrying arms or ammunition to
Mexican ports can be given proper
papers.
Another complication is Huer.a S
reported intention to blockade Tam
pico. Diplomats believe that grave
complications will result from an a.
tempt by this government to prevent
such a blockade.

Annapolis, Md, June CT pray
God it may not be necessary for our

The president referred to the Am

struments OF civilization not as the
instruments of aggression.
''Other nations have been strong"
he said 'sOther nations have piled
wealth as high as the sky, but they
have come to disgrace because they
used their force and their wealth for
oppression of mankind and their
own aggrandisement; and American

en- and Hartford Railroad allowed
himself to be, indicted in the Grand
Trunk case to shield the late j. Pier

fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday by Lewis Cass
Ledyard of New York. New Haven
director at the time.
II want to say in the most unqual-
flied terms" Mr.. Ledyard declared,
that Mr.. .Mellen did not offer himself
as a vicarious sacrifice for Mr. Nor

Telling of the letter in regard to
the Grand Trunk investigation to the
United States district attorney at
New York, written by Mr. Mellen in
the presence of E. D. Robbins, coun-
sci for the New Haven, and himself
Mr. Ledyard said:

was the letter OF man claiming in

Witness Was Not Sworn
Mr. Leiyard took the stand as
voluntary witness in the commits
sions investigation into the New
Haven's financial affairs, and was not
sworn. The subpoena issued for him
some time ago had been withdrawn
but he urged that he be allowed to
make statement. Earlier in the
day William Skinner completed his
testimony begun yesterday. He said
he could not recall any instance in
which Mr.. Morgan tried 10 dominate
the board of directors.
Mr.. Ledyard said that when he be-
gan to take an active part in the af-
fairs Of the New Haven about S13,-
100000 already had been expended
for the acquisition of the Westches-
ter railroad. He declared he knew
nothing of any transaction with for

Taking up Billiard Company mat
ters. Mr.. .Ledyard said:
while l was in Europe in 1908
the Boston and Maine stock was
sold to Mr. Billiard and after my re-
turn 1 asked Mr.. Mellen If the sale
was outright or a dummy" transac-
ton. He told me that the sale was
made outright.
The following January the Massa-
chusetts legislature asked the New
Haven board for certain information
regarding the Billiard matter At the
meeting in January l again asked
Mr.. Mellen as to the sale to Mr. Bill
lard and he told me that it was a
bona fide transaction.
Says Mellen Grew Excited
asked who Billiard was and he
rep3ed, he is a wealthy Connecticut
man. 1 asked why the sale was
made to Mr.. Billiard and Mr.. Mellen
replied that it was because Billiard
was a friend of the New Haven in
terests.' / then inquired why this
was not mentioned in the reply to the
legislature. Mr.. Mel
len became excited. He seemed to
think l was showing lack of conf
dence in him. Later the answer to
the Massachusetts, legislature was
amended in accordance with my sug-
gestion.
"A year later on my return from
another trip abroad / saw Mr.. Mellen
in New York and he told me he had
learned an erroneous record in the
Billiard case had been in the minutes
of the New Haven meeting. He said
IL wes misleading aid might make
trouble. He said to me you know
We never owned that stock or made
the profits. That record indicates
that Billiards profit belongs really to
the New Haven Mr.. Mellen wanted
to change the record, but reminded
him the laws of New York strictly
forbade anything of that sort.
Denies Mellen's Testimony
Il want to say in most unqualified
terms that Mr.. Mellen did not offer
himself as vicarious sacrifice for
Mr.. Morgan. 1t was letter not of
man accepting responsibility, it was
a letter of man claiming innocence.
for it was a letter to the district at
torney stating that as he was the
only one who conducted whatever
the negotiations were, as he was the
only one who knew what had been
done. therefore he desired to go be
fore the Grand jury and tell his story
of what those negotiations were
