terview with Roosevelt, when Roose-

dent of the New Haven, the govern
ment at the trial OF eleven former
New Haven directors, today intro
duced a letter from Mellen to Will
liam Loeb, Jr., Roosevelt's secretary,
by which it appeared there was sub
sequent misunderstanding between
Roosevelt and Mellen, as to what had
been said at an interview.
According to Me1len's testimony,
Roosevelt had promised there would
be no action against the New Haven
during the Roosevelt administration
If the New Haven should retain its
steamship lines, but Roosevelt prom
Used no immunity if it violated the
law.
In the letter read today Mellen said
he feared Roosevelt had forgotten part
Of the interview and referred to Mel
lens desire for conference between
Roosevelt and a number of railroad
presidents, so all could reach bet
ter understanding of Roosevelt's pol
icy toward the railroads.
Referring to the proposed confer
ence, Mellen said, 'T believe it is alb
solute1y necessary to the successful
outcome of his tRoosevelt's) wishes
regarding the coming political cam
paign."
The defense objected, bringing IN
what it termed purely political
natter and declared the first indict-
rnent in the New Haven case has been
on politics. The government attor-
news denied this.
