FAMOUS BILLIARD DEAL
BROUGHT UP ONCE MORE
Ancient Story Of Railroads
Troubles in Getting Control
of the Boston & Maine ADJ
duced by Attorneys,

New York. Nov. 22.- Theodore
Roosevelt, as president Of the United
States again appeared as adviser 10
Charles S. Mellen in New Haven af-
fairs-the acquisition of the Boston
q Maine railroad-in testimony ad-
duced today at the trial Of the
eleven former directors of the New
Haven road under the sherman anti
trust laws.
Mellcn represented the former
president in 1907, as having advised
the purchase of the Boston Maine
with the reservation. however. that
IF YOU do wrong You need not come
back Go me" The advice was given
after Mellen had had an interview az
Roosevelts suggestion, with Franklin
X. Lane, chairman of the interstate
commerce commission and explained
to him that there was danger of the
Boston q Maine failing into the
hands Of aliens" if the New Haven
did not take il. BY aliens the wit
ness said. he meant the Canadian Pa
cific or the Grand Trunk railroad OF
Canada and that Chairman Lane
agreed with him that such an eventu-
ality was dangerous from a military
point of view.
Correspondence Read In.
The testimony was brought out
after r. l.. Bats, attorney for the
government. had read into the rec
ord an exchange of correspondence,
subsequent to the interview, between
Mellen and II. M. Whitney Of Bos-
ton.
II have always thought it possible
that the little father at Washington
fntght wdift td get his finger iA the
pie" wrote Whitney In reference TO
the Boston K Maine deal

len wrote in reply. 81 have, l think,
completely cared for. one nevcr
knows for certain about those mat
ters but the ground has been care
fully ploughed and every chance of
trouble considered and | think elimi-
mated"
old story RctOld.
From this point the government
today went further into the more or
less familiar history Of the New Ha-
ven's troubles in getting permanent
control Of the Boston & Maine, which
eliminated in 1903 in the passage by
the Massa chusetts legislature of a
law enabling the New Haven legally
to control the 100000 shares of B0s-
ton a Maine stock it had acquired.
The government met setback.
however. when the court ruled that
no evidence as To- possible corruption
of the state legislature was admis-
sable.
The famous Billiard deal whereby it.
is alleged the New Haven fictitiously
transferred its Boston g. Maine hold
ings to John l.. Billiard of Merlden,
Conn. after the Cole legislative act
expired also was the subject of tes-
timony, but the occasion, too. of long
argument by counsel which was fin
ished when court adjourned for the
day.
