DIRECTORS OF NEW
 HAVEN TESTIFY
DECLARE THEY ARE NO LONGER INFLUENCED BY MEN LIKE
 MORGAN AND MELLEN.

Washington, June 3.-James S. Elton of Waterbury, Conn, and Will liam Skinner of Holyoke. Mass, di- rectors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, testifying to- day before the Interstate Commerce Commission at its investigation into the affairs of the road, said the ac- qulstion of various New England trolleys, steamship lines and other properties at cost of many millions of dollars, constituted a part of the New Ravens comprehensive plan to increase it's facilities.
 Many properties thus acquired, it was stated, only had a prospective value, the natural growth of New England being taken into considera- ton by the directors.
 MT Elton, questioned on this point by William Nelson Cromwell, who ap- peared as counsel for several direc- tors, declared his purchase for $ll,- 0O0 GOO of the New York, Westches- ter and Boston road, the stock of which former President Mellen of the New Haven testified was worth only ten cents pound was for the pur- pose of obtaining a foothold in the metropolitan district and obtaining greater terminal facilities in New York
 Mir Elton testified that the New Haven directors had changed their methods and now were not influ- enced so much by one or two men like J. P. Morgan and former Presi- dent Mellen-as they formerly were. He said the directors now direct and had learned great many things" He added that President Elliott was more deliberate than Mir. Mellen and did not rush them off their feet
 Mr. skinner said he believed If things had been allowed to go on and the New Haven and its officials had not been subjected to inimical in quiries and legislation the property would haye pulled ont all right, per haps in five years" He asserted that Mir. Mellen could have retained the presidency of the road had he so de- sired as he had a majority of the directors with him
 MT. Skinner will resume his testi- mony tomorrow. He will be followed by Lawrence Minot of Boston, New Haven director during part of Mir. Mellen's administration.
 William Skinner the next witness, has been a New Haven director since 1902. He did not recall J. F. Morgan making 8 statement regarding the Westchester purchase at any meeting of the board. He said he did not favor the purchase of the Westches? ter but raised no objection at the meeting when the committee re ported in favor of it.
 T went later to Mr. MeIen," the witness added "I told him 1 thought $ll ,000,O00 for the Westchester was an unconscionable sum. lie told me he would appoint me a committee of one 10 call on Mr. Morgan on the matter, but | did not do so.'
 "Why not?"
 Well I had confidence in the committee"
 The New Haven directors, up to the time the committee made it's re port Mr. skinner declared, had been under the impression that the West chester could be acquired for about l &. .000 900.
 Asked as to the purchase of the Rhode Island trolleys for s2o,ooo.ooo the witness said the trolleys had "a potential yalue.'
