Acquiring of Manhattan From

Now England Railroad
From New York
'ABSORBING ARBITRARIES
Witness Explains Process of Cutting-
Off Competition Wns "Sanctioned
by Every Railroad"
NEW TOnK, Oct. 26.-Charlcs S. Mellen,
former president of tho New Haven nail
road, resumed tho witness stand today
ns a Government witness In the con
spiracy trial of William Rockefeller and
other New Haven directors. ;
How tho New Haven paved tho way to
shut the New England out of New York
city was shown by a letter Identified by
Mellen and read by tho Government,
written In 1893, from Charles P. Clark,
president of tho New Haven, to tho late
J. I'. Morgan. Clark asked Morgan to
gt out of tho Manhattan Railway so
that tho New Haven might acquire that
line. Tho Manhattan was tho only ln
cresa of tho New York hnd Northern
Railway Into New York.
PROCESS OP ABSORPTION. '
Prank M. S acker, assistant Attorney
General, then read a letter from Mellen
to General Traffic Manager Wcllcr, of Uio
Boston and Albany, relative to cutting off
freight trafllc from the New England.
Next tho Government, through letters,
showed how tho New Haven sought,
through discrimination against tho Bos
ton and Albany to crlpplo the freight
traffic of tho New York Central In New
England.
Mellen then explained at great length
the New Haven's motive In Its action
against tho New York Central, and also
explained tho railway operations known
as "absorbing arbltrarles."
"It Is a process," Mellen Bald, "sanc
tioned by every railroad for cutting oft
freight trafllc from connecting lines that
are competitors."
MELLEN AND MORGAN.
How Mellen In 1891, by "taking tho bull
by the horni," overcame tho disfavor of
tho lato J. P. Morgan was related by
Mellen at the afternoon session.
"Mr. Clark told me," said Mellen, "that
Mr. Morgan was much exercised about
tho nuisances growing out of efforts to
shut the New York Central out of New
England and that Mr. Morgan was In
clined to think I had fomented the
trouble. I went as soon as I could to
Mr. Morgan's offices In New York and
asked to seo him. I was shown Into a
rear room nnd soon he came In."
" 'What can I do for you?" Mr. Morgan,
said.
"I told him 1 understood ho did not
like me. He said that was right.
"I then told him that what I had done
was done on the suggestion of Mr. Clark.
Mr. Morgan replied that ho had been
misinformed and had been used for a
doormat. Wo shook hands and were
friends afterwards."
Following this tho Government read a
letter from Mellen to Clark telling of a
plan by tho New York Central to open Its
New York freight terminals to tho New
York and Northern, which would give tho
New York and New England an entrance
to New York. -
"This would be tho severest blow to
tho New Haven nnd might ruin our New
York freight business." Mellen wrote.
Mellen went at great length Into a let
ter ho wrote to Clark about tho operation
of New York Central trains out of the
Harlem station. He said ho wrote It be
cause ho considered It his duty to tell
the president all that was going on.
"What was done about It? asked
Swacker.
"Nothing," said Mellen. "I did not
think It worth making a fuss about, and
besides there already existed 'a state of
mind between the New York Central and
tho New Haven, as tho correspondence
has shown."
Letters between Mellen and Clark re
ferred to tho trunk line association and
Its relations to rates in New England.
Mellen explained that there was an as
sociation of railways of which one God
dard was the head, the purpose of which
was to fix freight rates. Tho lines In It
were tho Pennsylvania, Reading, New
Haven, New York Central, Ontario and
Western, Lackawanna, Jersey Central
and others.

Listless and distrntt, Charles P. Corss

puffing ribbons of smoke from his after
dinner cigar and watching them curl Idly
upward. His thoughts wandered moodily
from scene to sceno until they darted
swiftly across thousands of miles of con
tinent and lodged In tho Golden Gate
City on tho edge of the Pacific Ocean.
In the smoke wreaths he fancied he saw
tho face of a girl he knew as Doris a
girl who lived in that California city
whom he had come to love deeply, only
to havo his romance shattered by a fool
ish tiff.
As these Incidents unrolled like a pano

that from the dimly-lighted room beyond
a piano was rippling out the strains of
that great melody of lovers, Tschalkow

music to Corss, for It was that very

world-famous orchestra, on the day ho
first met tho girl to whom his thoughts
had turned.
Under the charm of the music ho
crossed to tho telephone exchange, filed a
call number and then paced up and down
the parlors of the hotel during tho two
hours It took to establish connection over
those Invisible wires that cross a conti
nent. Ho said "Doris" to her, 4000 miles away
and they exchanged greetings. Ho called
back to the piano his friend, Armbrustcr,
who had played "Romance" on the piano,
and bade him play It again for the girl In
San Francisco. The melody reached her
ears and to Its accompaniment there were
more words over the blind telephone
wires words soft and tender.
"We're to be married, Doris and I." ho
said to Armbrustcr when the telephone
conversation closed.
That's about all there Is to that story.
