M ELLEN ACCEPTS BLAME
OF ACQUIRING TROLLEY 'LINES.
Advised Supplying the Public With All
Classes -of Transportation.
New Yorlt. Nov. 15. Charles S. Mel
len, former president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
took upon himself today the responsi
bility for the New Haven's poVcy of
acquiring - trolley lines in New Eng-,
land, which the government in the
trial of rthe eleven former directors of
the road charges was a part of the
New Haven's alleged plan to monop
olize -commerce. - -
Mr. Mellen testified that in 1904 he
urged upon the board the necessity of
either, adopting a comprehensive plan
of acquisition of trolley properties or
else dropping the lines it had already
acquired.
"I told - my directors time and
again," he said, "that the road ought
to supply the public with its needs,
and that meant trolleys, steamship and
railroad lines. It was my policy and
I always put it forward that the public
should be supplied with all classes of
transportation it demanded."
The question came up, said the wit
ness, with the proposed acquisition of
the Fair Haven and Westville line, to
which there was some opposition on
the board. He told the board, he said,
that not only this line . but others
should be acquired, "in order to fur
nish trolley terminals in all towns and
give the people of New . England the
facilities they wanted. - , ; t .

London, Nov. 15. "S.IS p. nv Winston
Spencer. Churchill, who- has been the
most severely, criticized member of the
government, and who has been held per
sonally responsible for the loss of Rear

in the Pacific, the destruction by sub
marines oT -the British eruiseis Cressy,
Hogue and Aboukir, the Antwerp ex
pedition and the failure of the naval
attack 6a the.' Dardanelles, delivered a
speecfiln .his defense in the house of
commons today, following the resig
nation, of his post in the cabinet.
"V won't have it said," was his dra
matic assertion, referring to the Dar
danelles attack, "that this was a civil
ian plan, fostered, by a political ama
teur -upon leluctant officers and experts."-
- - . .s , - '
And this summed his reply to all his
critics.' in every case he showed that
experts' had. counselled and concurred
before any of the expeditions which
had -been condemned were undertaken,
and it was clear, -before he had gone
far, that the house of commons sympa
thized with him. . ."
. Cheered by Supporters. .
For' months Mr. Churchill has lived
under reproaches. His entrance to the
house today was passed almost un
noticed. . - As he rose his supporters
gave him' encouraging cheers. Appro
bation increased in volume as he an
swered one question after another,
and be' concluded amidst a Lurricane
of applause, while members of all po
litical parties- crossed the house to
congratulate him. - . -

There was' nothing apologetic about
the speech of the former first lord of

was transferred to the chancellorship
of the ducihy of Lancaster, the office

to : Admiral Lord Fisher, the former
first eea lord, who, he said, . had not

and that the- dispositions were the
best that' could be made in the circum

charge that he had ordered, against
tne advice, or the experts, the Hogue,
Cressy and Aboukir to remain at sea,
where -they-were sunk by German ub-
marines. . ' The . Antwerp expedition
originated with Lord Kitchener,- the

the Dardanelles was elaborately con

advisors at - home and . those .on the
spot. ,:-
Was Advised of . Danger,
-Both with "regard to Antwerp and
Dardanelles. Mr. Churchill, , for the
purpose of defending himself against
reproaches, went a little .further than
merely producing evidence that he had

fore the .Antwerp expedition was un
dertaken, he said,-he had advised-with

Philadelphia, Nov.- 15. What is

now in progress, impetus being given
to the movement by the impending
close of navigation on the great lakes.
In Philadelphia, not only are all the

sand cars of grain on the railroad
tracks awaiting their turn to unload.
. In addition to the regular trans-Atlantic
liners, known commercially as
whole cargo carriers, twenty steam

In all the westward bound fleet head

capacity of . more than five million
bushels.
Ocean freight rates continue to ad
vance daily. Rumors are current that
the Italian government will soon call
many of her vessels home for war pur
poses. This would intensify, the lack
of tonnage, with a corresponding in
crease in rates. ,
