New York, Nov. 22-Theodore Roosevelt while President, advised that the New Haven road buy the Boston & Maine property, according to testimony given today by Charles s. MelIen in the conspiracy trial of former directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com pany.
 MT. MeIen. recalled to the stand today, told of a visit to Washington during which President Roosevelt said to him:
 Whatever you do you will have to do at your own risk and if you do wrong, you needn't come back to me. But it seems to me if I were in your place I would buy.''
 He had visited the president said MT. Mellens while negotiations for the purchase of the Boston & Maine were in progress.
 The President, he said, sent him to Franklin K. Lane, then chairman of the interstate commerce conmissi on
 T told Lane the situation and my fears-that danger that the Boston & Maine might go to other interests. He too thought the situation was danger ous, especially as to the military sit- uation-the danger if the Boston &. Mairpe was owned by aliens.
 T repQrted to MT. Roosevelt and he Sslc' 1fFss MelIen 1 am no lawyer. Whatever you do you will have to do at your own risk and if you do wrong you needn't come back to me- But it. seems to me if were in your place would buy.'" 0
 MT. Ratts wanted to know what he meant by the military situation. The witness explained that he discussed with MT. Lane the~ possibility of the Boston & Maine going to the Canadian Pacific or the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.

RIUGAR ARMY FLEES
 AFTER SEVERE LOSSES

Paris, Nov. 22-The report that the Serbians have won an important vic tory over the Bulgariansf near LseslzO- vatz, on the Nish-Salonili railroad, is corroborated in a despatch received today from the Serbian minister at Athens. The message says that after a battle of several days in which the Bulgarians sustained enormous losses the remnants of their army fled in disorder to the eastern bank of the Morava river.
 The victory is regarded. the mess age says, as securing that part of Che line from further attack for some time.

Had there been in the public print any suggestion that the Canadian Pa cif1c or the Grand Trunk were in the market for the Boston & Maine?'' / "I really don't know, sad the wit ness. He added that he had no spe- cific information that the two roads wanted the Boston & Maine, but that it was in the atmosphere-it came to me through grapevines."
 Before MT. Mellen was recalled, Lewis A. Bowman, formerly an ex- ecutive officer of the Enterprise Transportation Co.,, was put on the stand to refute testimony that this and not as the government contends, because of the crushing competition of the New Haven. F. H. Dunbaugh, president of the Joy Line and a gov ernment witness, had testified that dead head passengers and the fact that the Enterprise steamer Kenne- bee had no side freight ports, had caused the line to lose money. Bow man, who came across the continent from Washington to testify, was on the stand less than five minutes. The Kennebec,. Bowman testified. did have side ports and there was no unusual expense in loading freight.
 Attorney Choate did not approve of the purchase of the Boston & Maine py the roaQ, according Io a. letter written by him to Mellen, which the government read when Me1len re- sumed the stand. Under date of May 8, 1907, Choate wrote that he had mo faith in the Boston, & Maine" and that he did not believe it was earning it's seven per cent. dividend.
 MT. Mellen said that while the ne- gotiations for the purchase of the stock were in progress he went to Washington and consulted with Presi- dent Roosevelt.
