line to the Grand Trunks line on the
Nermont-Ne Hampshire border. Mr..
Mellen said ne was afraid that Morgan
had done something"
I didn't know what" he said and
I wanted to keep out OF the nasty
mess"
The witness explained that he re
ferred to Mr.. Morgan's "obsession
thae the New Haven should purchase
the New London Northern railroad
from the Grand Trunk and to inter
views and correspondence the financier
had had with Edison J. Chamberlin and
Alfred w. Smithers, Grand Trunk eX-
ecutives, on the subject.
His letter to Wise Mr.. Mellen testi-
fled had been prepared after Il consul
tation with Edward d. Robbins and
Lewis Cass Ledyard. defendants and
after an interview he had had with
Morgan
The government brought out further
that during the progress of the jury
Investigation, which resulted in the in
dictment of Mellen. Smithers and
CEamberlin, it came to Mellen's knowl-
edge that the inquiry was to be en-
larSed so as to include the question OF
the alleged monopoly of the whole
transportation system of New England.
This, Mr.. Nelen said. resulted in
efforts by the New Haven to have it

date, but elected from Mr. Mellen this
statement:

would have had a serious effect upon
the ability OF the New Haven TO raise
funds TO meet its then financial ne
cessities.
The government expects to prove by
other testimony that Ledyard went TO
Washington, saw Attorney General
Wickersham and President Taft, rep
resenting that effect that the inquiry
would have upon the New Haven and
the general financial situation, with
the result that the entire investigation
was dropped.

IN CASE AGAINST
TWO PAC|FICS

ST. LOUIS, Dec 3.-Arguments
were concluded late today in the case
Of the government to separate the
Central Pacific from the Southern
Pacific railway, and when the final
briefs are filed on Monday. Deem
Der IS, the three circuit judges who
heard the arguments Will begin final
consideration Of the petition for dis
solution Of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN.
These judges are Walter H San
born of st. Paul; William c. Hook
Of LeavenWorth and John f. Garland
Of Washington. d. G.
The entire afternoon session of the
court was occupied today by Edward
F. McCIennen. attorney for the gov
eminent in his argument in rebuttal
Of the arguments made by the at
torneys for the Southern Pacific.
IF it is shown in the evidence"
asked Presiding Judge Sanborn. that
the tonnage over the Central Pacific
is as great now as it would be if the
roads We're separated, should the
court consider that fact in reaching
its conclusion"
No" replied Mr.. McClennen for
how can the court decide whether
the tonnage now is as great as it
would be if the Central Pacific were
81 separate line?''
IF the court finds that no harm
has been done by the Southern Pa
cific ownership of the Central Pa
cific,' continued Judge Sanborn, how
then can it find that harm will be
done how can it grant an iniunc-
tom"
To this question Mr.. McClennen re
piled:
Under the sherman antitrust law
the power to do harm is the evil at
which the statute aims. If the power
to do harm exists because Of the
Southern Pacific ownership of the
Central Pacific, that is the vital fact
to be considered
Mr. McClennen insisted that there
was no Inconsistency in the position
Of the government in the Union Pa
cific dissolution case and in the pres
ent case, that the supreme court held
that the vital factor in the Union
Pacific merger was the ownership by
one company of the Southern Pacific
and the Central Pacific lines.

 T at once presented Vescaro to his Eminence, who received him with we'll bred ease. Vescaro was obliged to quit his hold of my arm to return the cardinals bow, but he seemed to do so with decided reluctance; and l ob- served him subjecting the Dominican to a scrutiny of which the good father appeared to be perfectly unconscious
 But no sooner had Salvaillerra led the way to his case than Vescaros un- easiness disappeared in an overmas- tering transport of admiration. He bent over the table, he lifted each of the seals separately and examined it with the minutest care. l, who had seen them before. took advantage of his absorption to glance at some of the other objects in the gallery. There was a large Egyptian statue placed against the wall opposite. which l had not observed on my last visit, and also noticed a curious little Buddhist idol fixed on a bracket further down towards the end of the gallery,
 While I was idly gazing at these things. I heard an exclamation from Vescaro.
 But your Eminence. this is a forgery
 "I looked and saw him holding up to the light the famous Vespasian onyx. Salvatierra almost snatched it from him.
 Never, What you say is impos- sible.' he exclaimed. Come this way; there is more light
 And he moved down the gallery towards the mirror followed by the excited Vescaro and the Dominican.
 At this moment felt a soft touch on my arm. I turned round with a start. and perceived Monsignor Per ratti, who had come up so noiselessly that had not heard his footsteps.
 My dear Ambassador, have made a discovery which have been waiting to show you for days, he murmured in a low voice. Come this way. It is a great secret. It is an illuminated French manuscript of the eleventh century, and l believe the only one in existence
 While he was making these obser- vations he had drawn me to a cabinet standing in an alcove off the gallery. This cabinet he unlocked with fever.

 The next day learnt that the mat ter was In the hands of the police, who no longer believed that Vescaro had disappeared of his own accord. but entertained the idea that he had been secretly murdered A strict in- vestigation was made. Cardinal Cal vatierra and the Dominican volun- teered their evidence as to the cir cumstances under which the missing man had left the Vatican, and I added my testimony to theirs.
 For some days the police pursued their inquiries with great zeal, but without throwing any fresh light upon Vescaro's fate. Then an extraordinary change took place in their attitude. They dropped the investigation as sud denly as they had taken it up, and seemed content to let the whole affair sink into oblivion.
 "All this time you must not sup pose that suffered any real uneasi- ness. I was assured of my own in- tegrity towards the missing count and besides. as an ambassador. my person was of course inviolate.
 When. therefore, l learnt of the strange behavior of the Italian au- thorities, I saw that 1t was necessary for noe to take this matter into my own hands. This was by no means the first investigation of the kind which I had undertaken. as you know. Aided by my past experience, resolved to set about it in a calm, methodical manner.
 ''The first step in my investigation was clear before me. It was neces- sary that I should dismiss for the moment all theories turning on the loss of the seal of Vespasian. All the other circumstances in the case pointed to the fact that Vescaro had some secret enemy in the Vatican, opportunity of the counts presence to infiict the vengeance which he had evidently dreaded beforehand.
 More than ever resolved to sift this frightful affair to the bottom, I set out that very afternoon for the scene of the counts disappearance. entered the museum, traversed the apartments I have already described, without be- ing perceived by any one, and quickly found myself in the fatal gallery.

 The ambassador spoke with real in- dignation. It was in a caimer tone that he continued:
 "Vescaro ended by deciding to go and see the gems. But he made it a stipulation that I should go with him, and he attached strange importance to this condition which l could not understand

 'On the threshold of the Vatican he literally carried out his stipulation of taking my arm, and I could even feel his own trembling as we. passed before the Swiss guard who were on duty at the entrance.

 The count made no answer, except to mutter a curse on the gallery for being in such an inaccessible spot.

 He pretended not to believe me at first, and expressed great disap- pointment when he found I was really unable to decipher 1t for him. At last he reluctantly put the manuscript away again, and 1 turned round to look for my companion.
 'To my surprise. he was not to be seen. The Dominican was there in front of the case of seals, using his little brush, and the cardinal was ad' vancing towards me with a vexed look upon his face.
 "I cannot think how your friend can believe my onyx to be forgery, he said. I suppose 1t will be perfectly safe in his hands?'
 What does your Eminence mean? I exclaimed. Where is Vescaro?' "Salvatierra gave stare of surprise

ton during October American mills
have spun twenty per cent more cot
ton during the four months of the
present crop season than they did
during the corresponding period last
year There were million more
spindles active than We're in operation
a year ago-in fact, a greater number
of spindles were operated last month
than during any previous month in
several seasons. Domestic cotton spin
ming has steadily increased since last
May when the revival of activity first
became apparent, and it hardly seems
open to debate that home consumption
will be very large. Trade conditions
and statistics would seem to confirm
this opinion American manufacturers
continue to absorb cotton in good
round amounts and there now seems
little question that the total takings
for domestic account will exceed the
prediction of seven million bales made
in these advices some time ago. The
export demand is also improving al
though shipments are hampered some
what by the enormous cost of trans
portation. The whole situation has at
last narrowed down to a question of
consumption, and prices will be gov
erned by the inroads which the fu-
ture demand for the staple makes up
on the worlds visible supply. The to-
tai visible supply is now below nor
nal as compared with this date for
any recent year, except, 1914, and is
less than five hundred thousand bales
above the visible at this time a year
ago. OF course, it is impossible to de-
termine the invisible supply, but it
hardly seems probable that it could
be large enough to fill the gap of
about four million bales below a nor
NAL crop, as represented by this years

ther price concessions will be witness

tions would appear to warrant pur-
chases on the weak spots.
