Lines Operated at Loss Bought by
New Haven at Inflated Prices
Senator Aldrich Had a
Hand in the Deal
MELLEN CONSULTED
PRES. ROOSEVELT
Says President Advised Against the
Sale Of Steamship Lines to
Morse and He Refused
to Sell
BY United Press.

By United Press
Washington, May 21.-The inter
state commerce commission today con
tinued its efforts to find out why
Rhode Island and Connecticut trolleys
that were being operated at a loss
were gobbled up by the New Haven
at inflated prices.
AS far as Rhode Island is concerned,
Mellen admitted that United States
Senator Aldrich was behind the deal.
That Roosevelt in 1907 personally
interfered to prevent the New Haven
from selling it's steamship lines to
Charles w. Morse was Mellen's state
nent
At Roosevelts request Mellen said
he refused to sell the lines for twenty
millions.
Mellen said he wanted to get rid of
the steamship lines because he was
always afraid Of terrible disaster on
one Of those floating tinder boxes, and
was convinced that the time was near
when the railroads owning competing
steamship lines were booked for trou-
Bile
"Morse's figure was fair one and
I wanted to sell If we held on we
later might have to sell for less, but
| knew If the deal went through it
would cement the Morse. control of
coastwise transportation and | felt it
to be my duty to consult President
Roosevelt, who was my friend.
Roosevelt was very anxious that
Morse's scheme should fail He told
me he would assure me that if would
reject this offer and would keep the
lines out of the hands of Morse
would experience no trouble from him
Sc long as remained president of the
New Haven system and he remained
president. and the law remained as it
was"
Mellen boldly declared that govern
ment ownership of railroads in this
country was certain to come.
