HARRIMAN WANTED
 TOBUY B. & M. ROAD
Mellen TeStifeS He Was Almost
 Ready to Sell One Time

New York, Dec. 14.-The late E. H l Hartman had his eyes on the Boston 1 & Maine railroad and at one time | Charles S. Mellen was almost ready to l sell it to him, according to MT. Mei- l lens testimony yesterday at the trial 1 of the eleven former directors of the l New York, New Haven & Hartford l railroad under the Sherman anti trust law. But the New Haven" fi- nally declined to sell, and obtained from Massachusetts the legislation which enabled it to hold the Boston & Maine under the laws of the state.
 Had Hartman acquired the road, Mir. Mellen testified, the result would have been that the entire New Eng land system would have lost it's inn portance. The New Haven" with Hartman in control of the Boston &c Maine would have been unable ;o maintain it's importance of the trunk lines to the west.
 Made Proposals in 1908.
 MT. Mellen said that in 1908 the late railroad financier made proposals to him for the purchase of the Bos- ton &, Maine and that he kept him as a possible purchaser in case the
  May 13, 1908, he telegraphed to T. F. Brynes, vice president and legislative agent of the New Haven" in Bos- ton, saving that he had had a talk with Hartman.
 Tt is useless to contend" the tcln- gram read, If we are to have public sentiment against Us. Why is it not better to let Hartman have the fight and we retire with profit? It seems to me it administers poetic justice in addition to letting us out
 "If we had sold" MT. Mellen testi- fled, 'it would have meant the pas sing over to the trunk lines of the en- tire New England railroads"
 Hartman. he added, continued his efforts to get the road almost until he died. While in Europe, in May, 1909. four months before his death, he sent Judge Robert s Lovett, then attorney for the Union Pacific to see the wit ness on the matter.

 This testim mony, adduced by the de- fcnse al the close of yesterdays scs- sion, was preceded by efforts of the prosecution to break down Mir. Mel lens testimony that the bringing of the government actions against the New Haven" was the cause of it's practical ruin.
 R. l.. Batts. Of federal counsel. brough out that the "New Haven" invested $3O,O00,O in the Boston x Maine acquisition and that two years thereafter the road ceased to pay div idends; that "New Haven" stock fell in the market the result of the deal: that il had paid $500.

New York, Dec. 1.-The war's >eN-- feet on sea transportation and the prospects of break in freight ratca after the war is ended are summar- ized in a statement issued yesterday by the National Foreign Trade Coun- cil, composed of representatives of large manufacturing and commercial interests.
 The main question" says the| statement, "Is how soon the break in the freight market will take placo| following the cessation of hostiliticsl Some shipping people hold that thd break will be sharp and sudden. oth CTS that the very slight addition1 through : reconstruction now bein made to tho tonnage of the worldfwily tend to ward off any tendency to q sudden decline when the war is con cluded

Western, which returned ? per cent, but which, just before MT. Mellen re- tired, paid nothing; and $20,000, ,000 for the non-dividend paying Rhode Island trolley properties after an ec- timate had been made that they were worth only $10,000, 900. The lawyer also elicited from the witness that from the time he became presiyfcnt until his retirement in 1913, the New Haven" had increased its capitaliza- ton from around s7O,000, 900 to about s1S5, 100000 and its bonded indebted ness by approximately the same figures. Meantime the stock had de- Clined from 195 to 130. 7
 Why Road Failed to Pay.
 Alleged losses due to transa chbns with the Billiard company, the witness described as nominal. The failure of the Boston & Maine to pay he at tributed to laxity on the part of its old management in keeping abreast of the times in the matter of facilities. He added that in 1910 an advance in wages given to employees alone ab- sorbed the net earnings. As to ,-Ahe he said iL was never expected to pay dividends.

Constipation is a condition that af-
