THE NEW HAVEN INQUIRY.

The former president OF the New

footing OF that corrupt organization
was interrupted last week by the De-
cuiiar obstructive tactics OF Attorney
General McReynolds. resumed his ties
timony before the Interstate Com.
merce Commission yesterday. The At.
torney Generals objection TO Mellen
In the position OF a witness was that
IL would give him immunity from
criminal prosecution. But that seems
TO have been a very light argument IN
view OF the fact that a criminal indict.
ment now pending against Melien was
found during President Taft's admins
tration. but SO far the Department OF
Justice has never exerted itself to
prosecute.
The Inquiry that has been insii-
tuted by the Interstate Commerce
commission was ordered by the SEN
ate for the reason that the Department
OF Justice had not lifted a finger to
punish the men involved I'm the wreck
ing OF the New Haven road. II is bot
ter that the tr1t;. should come out
through Immunity than It should he
forever scaled up. II is stin a little
queer that tho Attorney General
should have been so anxious TO pre-
vent Mellen from taking the witness
stand.
