Ludlow survivors.'
"The details of the Ludlow affair

This is the only count that has been

KOT PROUO OF PART PLAYED
WestcheHter Deal Projected for Pur
pose of Holding op New York, New
Haven and Hartford, He Declares
He Has Been Made the Goat Ac
cording to Own Statement.
WASHINGTON', May 19. Tha In
side story of the financial undoing of
the New Haven railroad was told be
fore the interstate commerce commis
sion today by Charles Mellen.
Mellen said he was made president
of the New Haven by Morgan.
"As head of the New Haven, I waa
called Morgan's man." said Mellen. "I
enjoyed his confidence and tried to
merit it. Morgan waa only one of the
directors of the New Haven but dom
inated its affairs."
Mellen identified a telegram from
Kuhn, Loeb and Company asking per
mission to bid on the Boston and
Maine bond issue. Mellen said the Is
sue, however, waa assigned to the
Morgan company.
. "I was made stakeholder of 80,004
shares of New Haven stock which
were to be exchanged for 24.J00
shares," Mellen said, "because inspec
tor Byrnes wanted to do business with
individuals instead of corporations as
affairs of the corporation were uncer
taln." He said there were about 24 due
bills covering 8225.000 issued In the
transaction.
"I firmly believed the Westchester
and Porchester railway systems were
projected for the sole purpose of hold
ing up the New Haven railroad."
Mellen produced a letter containing
a prophecy that he wrote in 1907. It
referred to the Westchester deal,
where in the New Haven road paid
thirty five million dollars for 28 miles
of railroad and a franchise. Mellen
wrote: "Many reputations will be dam
aged and in the end I will be the
goat." He admitted this was how the
affair had worked out.
The witness told a tale of the Jug
gling of millions. Mellen's letter files
indicated that Tammany Hall had to
be "taken care or In connection with
the Westchester deal but said the or
ganization cleared Its skirts by placing
the responsibility up to Oaklelgh
Throne, a New York financial man
and politician.
"I do not feel proud of .the part I
played in the Westchester deal." said
Mellen. "I should never have been
dragged into it. But even I was kept
In the dark until all the details had
been arranged. Morgan and William
Rockefeller approved the deal. Thev
believed the Westchester road would
be valuable but I thought its stock
was worth about 10 cents a pound.
Now I know I was right "
Mellen said he clashed only once
with Morgan and that he emerged
worsted, humiliated and shamed.
WASHINGTON, May 19. That he
discussed the Boston and Maine and
New Haven merger with Roosevelt
when the latter was president in 1907
and that Roosevelt favored the amal
gamation was the declaration of
Charles Mellen before the Interstate
commerce commission. Molien said
the Boston and Maine then was about
to go to a Canadian road and that In
view of this fact Roosevelt thought
tlie merger was Justified if there were
no legal prohibitions.
