No sport. no movement in fact. can

MELLEN ACCEPTS BLAME
OF ACQUIRING TROLLEY LINES.
Advised Supplying the Public With All
Glasses of Transportation.

New York. Nov. 15.-Charles S. Mel
len, former president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
took upon himself today the RESPONSE
bility for the New Haven's policy of
acquiring trolley lines in New Eng
land, which the government in the
trial of the eleven former directors of
the road charges was a part of the
New Haven's alleged plan to monop-
olize commerce.
Mr.. Mellen testified that in 1904 he
urged upon the board the necessity of
either adopting a comprehensive plan
of acquisition of trolley properties or
else dropping the lines it had already
acquired.
Il told my directors time and
again" he said, that the road ought
to supply the public with its needs,
and that meant trolleys, steamship and
railroad lines. 1t was my policy and
l always put it forward that the public
should be supplied with all classes of
transportation it demanded"
The question came up, said the wit
ness, with the proposed acquisition of
the Fair Haven and Westville line, to
which there was some opposition on
the board. He told the board, he said,
that not only this line but others
should be acquired, in order to fur
nish trolley terminals in all towns and
give the people of New England the
facilities they wanted"

Philadelphia, Nov. 15.-What is
probably the greatest movement Of
grain the world has ever witnessed is
now in progress, impetus being given
to the movement by the impending
close of navigation on the great lakes.
In Philadelphia, not only are all the
elevators filled to their utmost capa-
city, but there are more than a thou
sand cars of grain on the railroad
tracks awaiting their turn to unload.
In addition to the regular trans-At-
lantic liners, known commercially as
whole cargo carriers. twenty steam
ers are due at this port to load grain.
In all the westward bound fleet head
ed for Philadelphia has a carrying
capacity of more than five million
bushels.
Ocean freight rates continue to ad-
vance daily. Rumors are current that
the Italian government will soon call
many of her vessels home for war pur-
poses. This would intensity the lack
of tonnage, with a corresponding in
crease in rates.
