■ELLEN TELLS
Say* Permitted Hi* Own Indictment
to Save Morgan, Sr., and Then Wa*
Fired by Son When Father Died.
WASHINGTON, May 23.—Charles
Mellen, the former head of the New
Haven railroad, concluded his tes
timony today before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and when he
left the stand was in tears. Mellen
testified that he had permitted the
indictment of himself following the
exposure of the manipulation of the
stocks Of the company In order that
J. P. Morgan, Sr., might be shielded,
as he was in poor health and an in
dictment meant his death, but that as
soon as J. P. junior secured control
of the road the son immediately had
him fired and had endeavored In ev
ery way to make him the goat in
order to protect himself, his father’s
memory and his firm for what they
had done in the looting of the New
England railroad system.
Mellen admitted when questioned
by Attorney Joseph Folk that while
acting as president he had paid Prof.
Bruce $20,000 to recommend reporters
for publicity work and that the cam
paign had resulted in a better feel
ing towards the road and had been
a great success.
When questioned regarding the op
erations of the company in politics
he admitted that the railroad company
used any party in power and “got
under the best umbrella in sight,” Re
publican or Democratic; worked with
the-organization of both parties and
when that failed purchased votes from
individuals, and that he found the
company was forced to pay more to
keep vicious legislation from being
passed than to secure new legisla
tion. The method of the political ma
chines being to introduce a bill, cre
ate a certain popular demand for its
passage and then force the company
to pay to have it killed. The greater
the popular demand for the measure
then the greater the cost to the rail
road company.
George F. Baker, William G. Rocke
feller, Samuel Morehouse and Louis
Cass Ledyard will be called as wit
nesses by the commission.

CLUB ENTERTAINS
(Continued from page 1.)
eminent railroad assures—a more in
timate knowledge of the wonderland
of the North is being sought by the
business men of the Puget Sound
country, and the present tour is prov
ing one of amazing interest. While
many of the men in President Alex
ander’s parly have, for some years,
had trade connections with Alaska,
few of them have more than a faint
idea of the vast resources of this
country, and the majority of. them
are only now making their first trip
north. It is with the double purpose
of investigating conditions at first
hand and of meeting personally the
representative men of Alaska that the
tour is made. President Alexander's
plan of bringing his friends north
works to the ultimate good of both
this coast and Puget Sound, bringing
i as it does the commercial and finan
cial representatives of both localities
into closer contact.
The party, which has been referred
to by papers of the Sound as the
"billion dollar tour,’’ on account of
the many millions of capital repre
sented through its members, steamed
from Seattle last Friday night and
every inch of the voyage north
bright sunshine and smooth seas
have shown to fine advantage the
magnificence of the coast scenery.
On board are many who have toured
through Europe and they declare
with enthusiasm that Switzerland,
Norway and Sweden, where the scen
ery of the Old Country grows, haven’t
a thing over the Alaska tour. Here
the scenic wonders stretch for hun
dreds of miles along the coast, while
over in the European countries, it is
obtained on the installment plan—
“bits” here and there.
President Alexander and his guests
visited Ketchikan, Juneau, Douglas,
Gypsum, Cordova, Valdez, Seward,
Port Liscum, Katalla, and wilh visit
Kodiak, Knik, Latouuche, Seldovia,
ePtersburg and other points. At Cor
dova, on the return trip, one of the
attractions will be a ride over the
CopperRiver road to the Miles and
Childs glaciers. Large canneries and
mines along the coast will be visited.
