Mrllen DI"HUr Hoasr.
Mr. Mellen expmsed his opinion oi
"political boif" tooy when he. resupned
n s testimony. , . . . . m
Joseph k. Folk, ch'ef counsel for the
Commission, asked Mr. Mellen about, Jh
purchase of Jhe Tnrrytown. WhJto. Plains
& Mamarpneck railwayman electric line,
which the New Havtm bought at auction
for t330.IV) and $l.000,C09.'
"Who bid against you?"' naked Mr
Folk.
Mr. Mellen Intmated the people who ob
jected to Now Kaven'a purchase, were the
political bosses, "They usually are pn
hand," ho said. "1 haven't had'much ex
perleace with them, 1 had my experience
with thetn in the West Chester transac
tlon. That waa enough."
(lor Into Mttlillii ntialneaa.
Mr. Mellen testified the New Haven's
entry Into the lighting buslness'-wa dun
to Ita leafing the Connecticut Railroad
and Lighting company. The par value of
the Waterbury (as stock was fU.
Mr. .Fold read a letter to Mellen from
Mr. Whlltemore. a director of the Water
bury concern, In which he 'said he ' wus
'willing to sell 1,230 shares at such a
price as It could afford to pay, at not
lets than m
Mr. Folk thought this was In effect an
offer to sell at S), but Mr. Mellen did
not think ao. He said Mr Whlltemore
rraa paid (60 a share for hla stock.
Mr Folk Interrogated Mr. Mellen con
cerning the acquisition of the Worcester
Hallway and Investment company. He
asked why William A. rtead fit Co. o(
J"w Tork got $10 mora a share than
had been paid to others.
"That was a holdup," answered Mr.
Mellen, adding: "An intimation cams to
me that if we wanted leglilatlqn It would
be a good idee, to trade for stock."
"Waa this in writing?" . , .
"These things never come-in writing,
but they reach the spot nevertheless."
Mr Mellen, relating previous testi
mony given by him regarding the pay
ment of JKO.000 in commissions to B. K.
Kelly, was aakd by Mr. Folk:
'Have you told us everything aboui
this transaction?"
"Well, after 1 go to bed at night, since
1 have been testifying. I think of thing
that might have teen brought out and I
turn over and congratulate myself thti
they ere not"
In effort to get ccntrcl of the Wor
cestcr street railway It was necessary for
the Jtfew Haven to have a bill passed by
tho Massachusetts legislature.
"Finally wo got our bill passed through
the legislature by the uprising of the
'bdy politic In our favor,." said Mr.
' ' n a-.. II ill 1
Dld tho 'liraVerf'Jfro'm tho hills of the
Hill twn association hv anything to
do wth .the. enactment of that legisla
tion?"
"Yes, I think so; all prayers of that
iklnd toward the right are efficacious.'
"It mado no difference 10 you wnai
party was' In power?"
"Well, we nlways tried to get under
the best utnbrclls," responded Mr. Mellen
Heading the "prayer from the hills."
Mr. Folk "asked Mr. Mellen it he knew
what was paid for It.
'I do not Know, but It was worth whst
we paid for It."
"Now, that opening sentence," said
Mr. Folk, "'I will lift up mine eyes to
the hills.' sounds very much like you."
"Oh, Governor," exclaimed Mr. Mellen,
"have you- not read the Bible? That
sentence Is from the scriptures."
Prayer from the Newllaren.
"Bo the prayer from the hills, sup
posed to come from the people.. In, reality
came from the New Haven? What would
have been the effect If thia had been
known?"
'It would have given us a reputation
for literary talent ,that we did not de
serve."
Asked If he had employed prof. Bruce
Wycnan of Harvard at.tlO.000 a year to
deliver lectures In tho Interests of the
New Haven. Mr, Mellen replied:
"I supposo so."
Mr. Mellen said he believed tho New
Haven spent If ss. In Its campaigns for
publicity man oiner roaas nnu micni in
a ilmllar way.
"Was not something paid to practically
every newspaper In New England?'
"I do not know aa to that."
'The records show that more than 1,0M
got something," said Mr. Folk.
"Well. 1 have no doubt that Is cor
rect." Mr. Mellen replied.
The flames soon consumed the Overland,
a fine carriage and the largo new garage.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y., May 2S.-The
most Important political conference in
which Colonel Roosevelt has participated
since tho close of the campaign of 1913
was held at Sagamore Hill tonight It
brought together representatives of New
York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, In which
states the colonel probably will do his
hardest fighting this fall.
At tha meeting were George W. Perkins
of Now York, chairman of tho executive
committee of the progressive national
commlttoe; Walter Brown of Ohio, mem
ber of the national committee; Olfford,
Plnchot, progressive candidate for United
States senator from Pennsylvania, and
E. A, Van Vatkenberg of Philadelphia,
one of the foremost figures In the af
fairs of the party In that state.
It was decided definitely that the ten
tative plans for Colonet Roosevelt's cam
paign trip from the Atlantlo to the Pa
cific should be adopted. This tour prob
ably will take the former president into
almost every state of the union.
AVI 11 Stamp for Johnson.
This decision was reached when Colonel
Roosevelt sent word to Governor Hiram
Johnson of California, his running mate
in 1912, that he was going to California
next fall to stump the state for him In
his campaign for re-election.
After Colonel Roosevelt had talked
with tho progressive leaders he dictated
a statement which was Interpreted as
indicating that In one state at least he
will carry tho fight Into the ranks of
the republican party by nppealtng to Its
members to Ignore their past affiliations
and go with the progressives. His state
ment wns mado with particular reference
to tho situation In Pennsylvania, where
Senator Penrose la opposed In his fight
for 're-election by Mr. Plnchot.
Pirn to (Inoil tit Irons.
"Crises come up," Colonel Roosevelt
said, "when It Is the duty of all good
citizens to sink party differences and
stand up against flagrant wrongdoings
In public life or against policies fatal
to tho welfare of the nation at home and
to tho honor of the nation abroad. All
good citizens should on such occasions
stand together without regard to past
party differences.
"I have confidence In the Integrity of
the rank and file of the republican party
and that they will support Mr. Plnchot."
The colonel's old neighbors welcomed
him back from the Jungles today and
they did it in a way that made tho
former' president strangely silent aa .ho

SPRING SICKNESS
GOMES TO EVERYONE
Spring sickness comes in some de
gree to every man, woman and child
in our climate. It Is that run-down
condition of tho system that results
from impure, Impoverished, devital
ized blood. It Is marked by iopb or
appetite and that tired feeling, and
in many cases by some form of erup
tion.
The best way to treat spring sick
ness is to take Hood's Sarsaparllla.

What Is a Bargain?
There seems to be two ideas on this subject. A "cheap"
article is dear at any cost, but many people are still beguiled by
the temptation of false and misleading figures.
Our idea of a genuine bargain is to get your money's worth.
In the matter of Clothing or Furnishings, either for Men or
Boys, the best bargains we know anything about are right here.
No transaction at this Store is
