NEW HAVEN PROBE
FORCES RESIGNATION
OF FOUR DIRECTORS
Board Accepts Retirement OF
William Rockefeller and
Others as Mellen Retakes
Witness Stand.
Photo by Evans studio.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.--With Charles S.
Mellen again on the stand, the Federal
Grand Jury today proceeded with its
probe into the affairs of the New York.
New Haven and Hartford Railroad dur
ing the time Mellen was at the head OF
the system. 1t Is through this investiga-
ton that the Government expects to OBJ
tain criminal indictments against members
of the Board of Directors, declared to be
responsible for the looting of the New
Haven.
William Rockefeller. one of the most
prominent members of the board; George
F. Baker, Charles F. Brooker and James
S. Elton have now severed their connec-
tions with the road. Their designations
were rendered and accepted at a meeting
of the board as Mellen was before the
Grand Jury telling of the operations of
the system.
There is no doubt that the Government
intends to press the case TO the limit.
Mellen refused all comment today, stat
ing the strictest admonitions of secrecy
had been impressed upon him.
counsel 1or tne IorHer heau VI l'e ihH-
road system declared Mellen had gained
immunity from prosecution in connection
with all transactions he had disclosed be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The present investigation, 1t Is
therefore understood. is not directed at
Mellen, but at other directors the Gov
ernment hopes to reach through the evil
dence that may be furnished by the for
mer president.

Says Investors Are Anxious to Take
High-grade Securities.

]. Ernest Allen, head of the bond de-
partment of L. F. Hutton & Co., of New
York. was in this city this afternoon, and
during his stay in the financial district
took occasion to express his extreme con-
fidence in an early general resumption OF
financial trading throughout the country.
Mr.. Allen was formerly connected with a
large banking house here and is con-
sidered an expert on bonds generally.
There is every occasion for optimism"
said Mr. Allen. Investors generally are
eagerly looking for whatever offerings
they can get of high-grade securities
having attractive yield, That this de-
mand exists is very much apparent, In
view of the recent oversubscription or the
New York city note issue. I venture 10
say that IL the names OF those who want
ed part OF that loan were made known.
1t would be found that the largest per-
centage OF the inquiries came fro min
dividual investors anxious for a safe,
conservative investment.
They have the money, and all they
want now is the security Offering The
outlook to my mind, is brighter than for
many weeks, and investment bankers have
every reason 10 be optimistic"

NOTES OF THE RAIL

Presidents and counsel of several East
ern railroads met in New York today
to plan fer the reopening of the Eastern
rate case before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on October l9. Witnesses will
probably be put on the stand to de-
scribe specifically how the European war
has created an emergency in American
railroad affairs, and to describe the eff
forts the railroads have made TO Carry
out the suggestions of the commission
as to conserving net revenues. 1t IS
understood that President Willard, of
the Baltimore and Ohio. who opened the
case originally for the railroads, will
make the opening statement at the forth
coming hearing.
Western traffic officers, who expected
last week to file rate advances within
one month, now say it will require two
months
Three directors were elected at the an
nual meeting of the New York, Ontario
aud Western Railroad TO fill vacancies.
They are Lorenzo NJ. Gillett, of New
York; r l.. Lovelace, Of Niagara Falls.
and Francis l.. Maxwell. of Rockville,
Conn. The latter is a director of the
New Haven.
The third new freight locomotive OF
the L. / S. type has been completed at

CHICAGO WHEAT
MARKED BY MUCH
' WEAKNESS TODAY
Cash Article in All Outside
Markets Materially Lower.
Selling Pressure Outweighs
New Investment.

CHICAGO, Sept. 80. - Much weakness
was shown In wheat today. The cash
article in all outside markets ranged ma
terially lower, and there was not enough
new investment call here to offset the
effect of selling pressure from cash and
shipping interests. There was private
wire absorption of wheat on soft spots.
Cash sales totaled 295,OOo bushels. In
terror receipts of wheat were 2,SS6,OOo
bushels. Seaboard clearances of flour
were $4,000 barrels, and wheat, 1,o5oOoo
bushels. Futures closed Y to 2h cents
lower.
Liquidation of the tail-end sort was
the factor in corn. Values again de-
clined materially. Cash was down to
cents here. Buying at the decline was
of the solid sort, There was consid-
cradle increase in the volume OF specu-
lative trade. Cash sales were 125,00O
bushels. Interior receipts were 3S5,O00
bushels. Futures closed q to 2h cents
loves .....
There was large trade in oats, and
prices were much lower. There was a
great deal of liquidation by longs, some
selling here for the Northwest and not
enough speculative demand to sustain
values. Interior receipts were 1,7450O0
bushels. Clearances from the seaboard
we're 6O6,0Oo bushels. Cash sales were
7S5,00o bushels. Futures closed 1s cents
lower to 1b cents higher.
Provisions ranged higher on buying
presumably for large local packers and
spectators. Trade was large in lard.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Now that fall housekeeping is under :

thrown around the house indiscrimlnately,
the Pennsylvania State Fire Marshals
office considers 1t an opportune time to
call general attention to the dangers OF
such practices.
The department in the last two years
has investigated the causes of more than
$500 fires in Pennsylvania. 1t makes
the assertion, in a statement just Is
sued, that OF this total SO per cents, or
nearly 10000, of these fires were due
entirely to carelessness.'
Accordingly, the Fire Marshal has dl-
rected his deputies and the first officials
in the various municipalities in this state
to at once begin safety first cam

tions Is that the 1882, 254 school children
in the State be taught the chemistry or
