NEW YORK. November 15.-charles
8. Mellen probably will not finish his
testimony in the conspiracy trial OF
directors of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad before the end OF
this week. Attorneys for the govern

submit documents bearing upon the
merger with the Boston and Maine
railroad, the control of the New York
Westchester and Boston and the his
tory of the celebrated Billiard negotia-
tions by which the stock of the Bos-
ton and Maine was controlled.
Mr.. Mellens account of the relations
between the New Haven and the Met
ropolitan Steamship Company was un-
finished when the hearing was resumed
today. 1t is expected that part of that
story will be told by other witnesses,
as he is not familiar with the whole of
it. BY the beginning of next week, IT

MANY JEWISH WAR SUFFERERS
Pleas for Help Made at Meeting in
Adas Israel Temple.

About 100000 Jews in Russia are
without shelter. was statement made
by Sholom Asche. Jewish author of
Russia and New York, at a meeting
held last evening in Adas Israel Temple
in behalf of Jewish war sufferers.
The Russians, he pointed out, forced
the Jews of Poland, and particularly in
the Kovno district, to leave their homes
when the German invasion began. and
as a result men, women and children
face the rigorous Russian winter with
out proper protection.
Rabbi Benjamin Grossman and Joseph
Topper also delivered addresses during
the meeting in which they supplement-
ed the appeal Of Mr.. Asche.

True Story Told at Last
of Booker Washington's
Luncheon at White House

The death Of Booker T. Washington.
the noted colored educator and founder
of Tuskegee Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala,
yesterday recalls the nationwide COM
ment that followed Washington luncheon
with President Roosevelt in the White
House in the summer of 1902. Many
stories of how the colored educator came
to be the Presidents guest at luncheon
have been printed, and most Of them, it
is asserted, have been largely guesswork.
The true version of the affair was re-
lated today by lifelong friend OF Wash
ington, who lives here.
The account Of the incident given by
this relator follows:
while Vice President, Col. Roosevelt
had become interested in the colored man
and the great work he was conducting
among the negroes Of the south. Early
in the summer of 1902 a vacancy oc-

of taking council, and remarked that he
had received an invitation to come to
Washington Immediately for a conference
with President Roosevelt. He added that
he had no idea Of what was wanted of
him, but he felt that the invitation was
in the nature of command, and that he
should come.
Asked to Recommend Judge.
THAT night about 10 o'clock he re-
turned to the Office of this friend and
related the following story: The Presi-
dent had explained to him that there
was a vacancy on the federal bench
dent) wanted Washington to recon-
mend man for the place. The Presi-
dent explained that If Washington
would make a recommendation the
President would look no further
Washington then remarked that he
knew of a man who would make a good
judge and would certainly be accept
able to the colored people Of the state.
The man he mentioned was Thomas G.
Jones, who had been Governor of Ala
bama and who resided at Montgomery.
THE President then said to Wash
ington in substance: I will offer this
as my messenger. I want you to go to
him and say to him that you are au-
thoriZed to offer the place to him
and to say to him that If he is ap-
pointed. 1t will be solely on your recon-
mendation.

1915 WHEAT CROP
WILL Be A BUMPER
Federal Estimates Place It as
Exceeding That Of Any
Previous Year.

The worlds wheat crop for 1915 will
be bumper" when it is all harvested, ac-
cording to preliminary official estimates
from twenty countries, compiled by
Charles M. Daugherty. statistical expert
Of the Department Of Agriculture. The
1915 crop, he says, largely exceeds that
Of any previous year. and surpasses that
of 1914 by several hundred million bush
els
Mr.. Daugherty says, in part:
''Over half the increase in production
in the twenty countries may be ascribed
to the expansion of wheat culture in non
European nations. In the northern hemi-
sphere the total extent of land laid down
to spring and winter varieties for the
1915 harvest in three great exporting ma
tions-the United States, Canada and
British India-exceeded that Of the year
before by fourteen and q half million
acres, an increment Of almost Is per cent.
Three Greatest Yields.
The total Yield Of the three countries.
1t may be added. was 1.724.000.o0o BUSH
els, compared with 1.364,000,000 in
1914, the increase Of s6o,000,000 BUSH
els in the latter year representing guam
tity that exceeds the entire crop of either
Canada or British India in normal sea-
sons. Estimates of the sowtngs for the
coming transequatorial harvest have just
been published the indications are for an
enlargement of between 100000 and
1000, 900 acres in the wheat-producing
lands of Australia, and Of $4,000 over
last season in the sowings Of Argentina.

probably fell short of that of 1914, in
so far as can be determined from the
incomplete official statistics availa BILE,
by the small margin of from 100000

to 100000 acres. The contraction Of
acreage, in so far as is at present
known. was confined to Russia, France
and Rumania.
Wheat Acreage Of France Less.
''The 1915 wheat crop Of France. the
second important wheat producer in
Europe, was grown on an area of a.
$4,000 acres. or 1.227,000 acres less
than the surface sown for the preced-
ing crop. The production in 1915 has
been estimated by the French depart
ment of agriculture at 25S.000,000 bush
els, against 32O.00o,00o bushels the year
before.
Detailed statistics of the production
Of wheat in 1915 and previous years in
nine countries of Europe and in eleven
non- European countries indicate the
generally bountiful character of this
seasons harvest. Yields in every coun-
try. except France and Australia, ex-
ceeded those. of the previous year, and
in the United States, Canada, British

ducing countries there were either rec
