Politicians Always Costly. That he favored a policy o buying up existing railroads instead of con structing new ones, even though exor bitant prices were demanded, was the declaration of Charles S. Mellen, for mer president of the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad, when he resumed his testimony before the In terstate Commerce commission earlier in the day. "It Is always cheaper in thf end to buy a railroad already chartered." he said. "Getting new charters means that one must deal with politicians, and that is always costly." Mellen then discussed the New Hav en's purchase of fiOOO shares of stock In tne Worcester consolidated street railway on condition that the legisla ture would pass certain legislation. Alleged Holdup Described. "This was a holaup.-; declared Mel len. "Attorney Sherman Whipple of Boston served notice that we had bet ter agree to buy that stock at once if we wanted certain legislation. Whip ple was a former candidate for sen ator and was an influential citizen. Our bill passed both houses of the legisla ture but it was vetoed by Governor Fos8. The next year, however, the desired legislation was enacted." Mellen asserted the New Haven used any party in power? adding: "We al ways got under the best umbrella." He also admitted paying Professor Bruce Lyman of Harvard $20,000 to ad vise the New Haven company regard ing the employment of various news paper reporters. He said the men em ployed -all gave good returns for the money expended. Mellen declared the corporation's publicity campaign was reraaraaDiy cheap, although it cest several hundred thousand dollars. Passes Went Xdke Xieares. "This was only about one qiarter," he said, "of what ottiwr railroads paid out In similar campaign's, which pre sented no such difficulties as ours." Regarding passes. Mellen said: "In the days when passes were legal I scattered them like the leaves of the forest. When the law prohibited all this, I scrupulously observed it, how ever." The witness then discussed the indi vidual directors of the New Haven road.

W. H. Chapin, defendant on a charge of larceny by bailee in Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's court, this morning testi fied that he was 111 and under the care of physicians in November, 1912, and that E. C. Herlow under Indict ment with him, made all arrangements with Mr. and Mrs. William Grace for the securing of the $3500 involved in the charge. He said that Herlow called him by telephone at his home, and sug gested that he go to the Grace home to get the money, and that he told Her low that he was too ill to do so. At Herlow's suggestion he said he talked witn Mrs. Grace over the tele phone, and told her of his condition, and that Herlow would come for the money. Mrs. Grace testified that Cha pin was with Herlow, but this Chapin denied. He and others testified that Chapin had sold his automobile prior to the time of the securing of "the money, and could not have ridden in it to the Grace home, as Mrs. Grace tes tified.

Mrs. Grace testified that the money was entrusted to the firm be cause of long personal friendship for Chapin, although at the time a mort gage on w hich they were paying 7 per cent interest was due.
