Kept Away From Officials

'I always tried hard to keep away from them. And I want to say there is not so much effort on the part of the railroads to have relations with elected officials as there is on the part of those officials to have relations with the railroads. I think if an absolutely interruptions person were at the head of large railroad, and had the knowledge, ability and wherewithal, he could accomplish almost anything. To get efficiency and eneconmy there must be a monopoly, and that monopoly is cer- tain to be the United States government"
 Do you think your salary of $60, 600 was too much?,
 "Yes, I do. I think s25,OOo is enough for any railroad president, and if he has not the ability to live on that he ought to go somewhere else.''
 Why didn't you start that reform your self?"
 Well, thought was entitled to what others were getting when was given the $5O,000 I never asked for the raise to S60.OO0 and even protested against it."
 Mr. Mellen said he firmly believed that MT. Morgan, had he lived could hava funded the floating debt. He declared that 1t would take $1O0. 900 to do this.
 Tn the legislative work did you not have agents in different states?"
 Yes, we have some
 MT. Mellen said that General Brayton was tne legislative agent III ftuOue lSidnu and to the best of his recollection he was paid $60O0 or $70O0 year. He said that the money used in Rhode Island gen. erally was to help in electing candidates for office.
 What did General Brayton do for you in return for this $eoOO or s7O00 a year?"
 'The money was not so much for what he did as to prevent him from doing certain things. We wanted to be let alone''
 General Brayton was called the blind boss of Rhode Island, was he not?'
 -"Yes."
 Did you ask for any explanationT'
 Comparatively none."
 The legislative agent in Connecticut, MT. Mellen said, was "J. Henry Rohr- back
 "who looked after the interests in New York?"
 T probably did most of that myself. Our interests there were not so very large. The big New York corporations were already looking after things affecting them in that state and we hid under their shadow"
 The hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, MT. Folk an- nouncing that he had only a few more questions to put to MT. Mellen.

AMERICAN WOMAN IS FOUND DYING
 ON ITALIAN TRAIN

Florence Italy, May 21.-An American woman, Mrs. Mary F. Flavelle of Chi eago, according to police Identification, was found in dying condition in the compartment of a train when it arrived at Arezzo today. The train was bound from Florence for Assist. The woman had been shot through the right temple and was removed to a hospital. In her pock- etbook was found a letter of credit for $500, which had been cashed in part. No handbags, ticket or letters were found, but a baggage label with the name Mrs. F1avelle," was picked up. and on the seat lay visiting card reading Miss Blanche Marie Harcourt' which bore bloody fin- ger prints. The womans handbag was found later alongside the track.
 At a hospital the woman was sufficient iy revived to answer a few questions. She had taken the train at Florence and was alone in the compartment Her as- sailant was a young Italian. who entered the compartment and shot her, and then robbed her. She said she was 60 years of age and married. Mrs. Flavelle to- night lapsed into a state of coma. Ac- cording to the train hands, the woman occupied the compartment alone. In the next compartment was man of about 30. He did not act suspiciously, but at Arezzo left the train from the wrong side
 It is supposed the crime occurred in a tunnel just outside of Arezzo. It was along the tracks at this point that the valise and a pair of womans gloves stained with blood, were found.
 The police tonight believed they had es- tablished that the woman's assailant re- fttrx mad f,s1t ... for Florence.
 Chicago, May 21.--The woman shot in d train compartment near Arezzo, Italy, 1t is believed here, is Mrs. Mary D. Fla vile, a Chicago settlement worker.

EFFORTS TO KILL HOME RULE
 BILL CAUSES MERRY SCENE

London, May 2l.-Having exhausted all constitutional means of opposing the pass section of the opposition, in a last effort 10 delay automatic passage of the bill under the parliament act, provoked a scene in the House of Commons today.
 The bill had reached the third reading stage. Premier Asquith announced that the proposed amending bill would be introduced in the House of Lords The premier immediately was subjected to a fierce fire of questions. With view to in- ducing him to divulge the nature of the proposed amendments. He declined to reveal this until the third reading had been passed, and after bitter speeches by Andrew Bonar Law, the opposition
 leader, and others. denouncing the pre-

 Adjourn. 'Adjourni'' made the con tinuation of business impossible.
 The speaker appealed to the disturbers in vain, then suspended the sitting This is the third time the House of Commons has been similarly suspended during the eventful history of the present Parli- ment. Home rule debate will be resumed Monday. Should the disorderly tactics be repeated it is believed the premier will move cloture and the third reading division will be taken forthwith
 That the proceedings today were pre- meditated appeared evident from the fact that rumors were current at the begging of the sitting that a sensational movement was intended and it was sup posed that the whole opposition would walk out of the house.

ROOSEVELT CONFERS
 ! WITH PROGRESS|VES
Plans to Take 1916 Battle to the Rank and File of
 People

Oyster Bay N. Y. May 21.-What Col onel Roosevelt described as mot exactly literary discussion was held tonight at Sagamore Hill It was perhaps the most important political conference in which the colonel has participated since the close of the 1912 campaign It brought together representatives of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, the three states in which Colonel Roosevelt probably will do his hardest fighting this fall.
 At the meeting were George w. Per kins. chairman of the executive commit tee of the progressive national commit tee; Walter Brown of Ohio. member of the national committee; Clifford Pinehot, progressive candidate for United States senator from Pennsylvania, and E. A. VanValkenberg of Philadelphia, one of the foremost figures in the affairs of the party in that state
 The conference was in session until late. It was decided definitely that plans TOT Colonel Roosevelt's coast to coast cam paign trip should be adopted This tour probably will take the former President into almost every state of the union.
 Dictates Statement
 After Colonel Roosevelt had been talk ing for ans hour with progressive leaders he dictated q statement which was in- terpreted as indicating that in one state at least, he will carry the fight into the ranks of the republican party by appeal ing directly to its members to ignore their past affiliations and go with the progressives. His statement was made with particular reference to the situation in Pennsylvania, where Senator Penrose is opposed in his fight for reelection by MT. Pnchot
 Crises come up said Colonel Roose- Welt. when it is the duty of all good citi- zens to sink party differences and stand up against fragrant wrong-doings in pun lie life or against policies fatal to the welfare of the nation at home and to the honor of the nation abroad. All good citi- zens on such occasions should stand to- gether without regard to past party diff ferenCes.
 "I have confidence in the integrity of the rank and file of the republican party and that they will support MT. Pinchot. The cooners old neighbors welcomed him back from the jungles today. Flags were every where, and nailed to telegraph pole wasa huge sign which read, "19l6 and victory

Little Interest Shown

MT. Mellen said that he attended many
 of the stockholders meetings and that little interest was shown in the financial
 transactions of the road by the holders of it's shares. He said he often had to
 get up and talk just to use up time. The
 attendance he said, was generally only about 100.
 ''Did the people of New England show any opposition to the general consolida- ton plan you have spoken off" Not outside of Boston, What was done in Boston?" Well, you know they threw the tea overheard and history repeated itself Bos- ton dumped everything. Boston is the home of the anti Boston people are thinking people, are they not?" asked Mr. Folk
 Yes, but they do not think as other people think" :" What was the reason of the unpopu- larity of the New Haven?' "The New Haven was monopoly from its inception. For years 1t had been the general impression that it controlled the situation in Connecticut, and the load of sentiment coming down from the old times could not be removed. l believe that the things done by the New Haven, If they had been done by more popular concern, would have been approved Did you have any relations with pub | lie OfficiaIso

 Asked to give the reasons for the de- moralization of the road Mir. Mellen said that it was principally due to a large floating debt, which was caused in great measure by the Westchester transactions the Boston and Maine purchase, bad in- vestments, the general felling in New England and the large expense of improve ments to the Grand Central station.

CuIdesac Defeats Orofino

The local high school basket ball
team met its first defeat Of the season
Saturday night at the hands of the
Culdesac five on the latter's floor. Orc
fino was out-classed at all stages Of the
first half as the score, 81 to a in favor
Of Culdesac, shows, but during the
next twenty minutes the boys became
somewhat accustomed to the low cell
ing and the extremely small floor and
held the winners to the score, IA to IA.
Considering Culdesac's advantage in
her own gymnasium, the two teams
are about a match and the game to be
played here February Z, is going to be
"scorcher." Neither team admits
the others superiority, and the next
collision will be the deciding game.
Following is the lineup and score;
Orofino, Dermott, r. +; Kline, |. f;
Wilfong, c; Buescher, r. g; Osterhout,

Orofino will play Vollmer here next
Saturday night. The latter. team was
the fastest Orofino met last year. The
center, all around star, is supported by

w. E. Parry and L. G. English, who
have star routes out of Kooskia, are

bone of the Stites-Elk City route, is the
man who is getting it put over him. In
one day last week the Lewiston Mer-

of merchandise by mail to Elk City.
Such jags as this is what causes the mail
freighter to cuss the man who Matched
out the. p. p. system, especially the one
who increased the weight limit to fifty
pounds and re duced the carrying fee to
about one-fifth of the regular freight
rate over mountain roads. When the
fact is known that the express business
handled by rural carriers has been cut
off at the pockets, and extra men and
horses made necessary to handle the
mails, it can be readily seen that the
job has developed into nightmare.
True, the government will pay more for
this work after while, but it's cinch
that hereafter no one can make ordi-
nary wages even after new contracts
are made, and the job of mail carrier
in the mountainous regions will not be
eagerly sought.
