ATTORNEY.GENERA OF UNITED STATES MAY BE FORCED TO QUiT-cHARGED WITH HAVING PROMISED PROTECTION TO RAILROAD OFFICIALS.
M'REYNOLDS FAILS TO REPLY
TESTIMONY OF PRESIDENT MEL. LEN OF NEW HAVEN ROAD PROVES TO BE DAMAGlNG- COMMITTEE PLANS PROBES OF OTHER RAILWAYS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May 24- James c. McReynolds, attorney-gen eral of the United States, will prob ably be forced to resign, as re- suit of an expose of his promised protection to officials of the New Haven railroad. The damaging evi- dence against Secretary McReynolds was in the testimony given by Charles s. Mellen, president of the New Haven road, who swore before the senate committee which is in vestigating the conditions of the road, that MT. McReynolds had prom ised not to prosecute the officers of the road, unless forced to do so. While McReynolds has taken no action to prove himself innocent of the charge, it is believed that he will do so, though it is asserted by those close in touch with the Presi- dent that the attorney general will be asked to resign. Indeed, it seems that there Is but little else for him to do under the circumstances.
 The damaging testimony given by MT. Mellen against McReynolds was included in general confession made by the railroad president in regard to the graft and the violation of law that has been practiced by the officials of that company.
 Mr. Mellen's testimony before the senate committee is completed, and Senator Folk has begun the difficult task of reducing his testimony to moderate report. The testimony given by MT. Mellen covers 2,4OO typewriter pages.
 In concluding his testimony yes terday, Mir Mellen intimated that the New Haven was not the only road that has been violating the law. While he made no specific charge concerning any special corporation, he made 1t plain that other invest!- cations would be productive of much good.
 Whether the committee Is guided by the tip given by MT. Mellen Is not known, but 1t has just been an nounced that various railroad con- panies will be probed by the com- mittee. Among those to be investi- gated first will be the Pennsylvania railroad, Rock Island, and the North ern Pacific roads

 Gives Himself lob

CORDOVA, May 24.-C. T. Lam- bert is bringing action in the dis trict court to recover on behalf of the city the money that has been paid to Councilman Goodall for su- pervising sewer and street improve ments.
 In the complaint prepared by Lam- bert, he alleges that Goodall, as chair man of the street committee of the council, voted himself salary of $10 a day for supervising the work done on the streets. Lambert's con- plaint is based on the right of a citizen to demand legal investiga- tion into the matter. He alleges that the payment of the money to Council man Goodall was illegal. and that 1t had not been properly earned.

, been following the Blueberry Kid
 Although the matter hn been known to the officers hereXput lit tie local mention of the ! SC has been made in Fairbanks. he fact that the bodies of the supposed vic tins were never recovered, has in terfered somewhat with the ease in the past.
 It was late in the summer of 1912 that the Blueberry Kid Fiddler John, Frank Adams and Dutch Marie left Wiseman, near the head waters of the Koyukuk river in launch known as the Seal Pup. The launch belonged to the Blueberry Kid.
 Coming down the river in the launch, the party stopped for the night at Bettles, but that was the last they were seen together. It was supposed that they would take the usual course down the river and would be sure to stop at Nulato, but they did not go there
 The next that was heard from any of them was when the Blueberry Kid was seen at St. Michael, on his way Outside, little while after the party had been seen at Bettles, which indicates that he had come directly there. The news of his be- ing there alone aroused suspicion concerning the fate of his associ- ates, who were known to have had money on their persons.
