 New Haven Directors.

New Haven, Nov. 10.-Charfes s. Mellen, testifying at the trial of his eleven former fellow directors on the board of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. extricated them today from the charge. of having sought to use political influence in congress to hamper a New Haven competitor. Through a failure in his memory. he also was unable to supply the government with possible evidence of purpose on the part of the New Haven to crush another competitor.
 The government sought to show to- day that the New Haven road desired to prevent congressional legislation intended to make the Connecticut rfv- CT navigable above Hartford. the roads purpose being, the government contended, to make steamboat cornpe- tition beyond that point impossible
 MT. Mellen admitted that he had been opposed to such legislation but explained that 1t was due to a de- sire to save the New Haven the ex- pense of putting drat's in its three bridges across the Connecticut at or bonud Hartford and for the addition al reason that the operation of trains would have thereby been less safe
 MT Me1len declined to admit that the subject had been considered by the New Haven board prior to the &C., auisition of the Hartford and New York Transportation company, a steamboat line.

AGENTS HAVE RECEIVED
 NO WORD OF THE ANCoNA.
Besieeed With Scores of Inquiries,
 Many by Telegraph.

New York. Nov. 1o-No word of the Aucona came over the cables from Rome today to her general agents here. Officially. they had not even been ad- yised that she had sailed from Naples. The scores of inquiries. many by tele- graph from out of town, the agents had to reply that they were absolutely without advices.
 After the better part of an anxious day of waiting, William Hartfleld. of the firm representing the Aneona's 5 owners, besought the cooperation or the Italian consul general here in ob- tainilg facts apparently withheld oy Italian censors. The consult general, G. Fara Forni, transmitted MT. Hart fields request, with an endorsement, by telegraph to the Italian ambassador at Washington. Late today a reply from Washington stated that an ef- fort would be made at once to ascer- tain the details of the sinking.
 Easing their assumption upon a careful study of the passenger list of the vessels which reached here during August, September and October from Italian ports. the Ancona's agents were reasonably certain that the vessel had a number of Americans on board. but that the bulk of her passenger list was composed of Italians and refugees from the near eastern theatre of war. Every liner sailing from the Mediterranean
 
 port had a number of Americans in her cabins. In one case regarded as ex- ceptionaI, 80 per cent. of the passen- gers were citizens of the United States
 It was assumed that the AnconGs passenger list varied but little in gen. eraI from lists of the eleven passenger vessels which reached New York from Italy during these three months, On these vessels were many women and children to join home seekers in America: a few Armenians, seeking new homes in the United States; some Persians, escaped from the Kurd-in- tested area of northeastern Persia; Italian soldiers, detached from field service and detailed to America to serve on returning transports bringing mules and soldiers from the United States to the Italian army. and lastly, Americans.
 When and by what route the Aneona sailed from Messfna, her only port. of call after leaving Naples, were un- known. Her sailing schedule. subject to change as axigencies might require, called for her departure from Messina yesterday afternoon. Leaving there, her captain would be guided, the agents said, by admiralty orders issued to every departing liner. These orders generally are sealed and are opened and read only after a vessel has steamed out of port.
 The choice of two routes lay open to the admiralty issuing its orders to
