MELLEN LETTER
 NOT INTRODUCED

The letter which MT Mellen said he wrote to the district attorney at New York, for the purpose of shielding MT. Morgan" was not introduced in evidence and Governor Folk afterward said it was
 not in his possession. The closing scene of the day concluded the four days of gruelling interrogation which MT. Mellen had undergone. Before the Morgan climax was req ched, Governor Folk had developed the part taken by the various directors of the New Haven
 in the vast financial operations of the
 system. Mir Mellen gave an intimate
 personal view of several members of the
 New Haven board, further emphasizing
 the dominent power of MT. Morgan, par
 ticularly, and Mir. Rockefeller, MT. Baker
 and MT. Ledyard. He paid personal
 tributes of admiration to other members
 of the board.
 MT. Mellen also testified as to hold
 ups in stocks to which he had been sub
 jected as president of the New Haven,
 and said it was due to intimations that
 came to him that If legislation was
 wanted 1t would be good idea to trade in stocks.
 MT. Mellen left late today for New
 York and thence will go tomorrow to New England for a few days rest He
 has not been excused asa witness, but is subject to recall at any time. He assured Governor Folk he was ready to appear whenever he might be wanted

LEFT THEM TO
 CONTINUE CONFERENCE

MT Morgan retired and left Mr Chamberlain and Mir Smithers and my self to continue the conference. I told MT. Chamberlain and Mi. Smithers that we would continue the conference on the basis that they should give no fur ther attention to the question of sur rendering the New London Northern road, they might do as they pleased with it; I did not care. The worse pun ishment l wished to see inflicted upon them was the completion of their line into Providence. If they felt that there was enough in the situation to warrant making a traffic agreeemnt with us for the interchange of business for the joint use of the lines along the Connecticut river between Windsor and White River Junction and between Windsor and Brattleboro--and We had nearly com pleted our own line between Brat tleboro and South Vernon-I was glad to do it.

tests in 1908.

Charles w. Murphy is gone from

of the imprinted things that marked
his stormy career Of eight years as

first game in Chicago.
Mayor Rusee was ready. He had
ordered 400 policemen on foot and a
big squad of mounted police to block
the streets leading to Cub park ia
prevent the game because nc alleged
violations OF building and other laws,
and because of the scalping outrage.
There was CONSERVATION in the cub
