In Conspiracy Trial, Testifies
For Nearly Two . Hours
Without Halting.
RAILROAD'S STORY
AT FINGER'S ENDS
Government Wins First
Point in Legal Battle with
Directors' Counsel.
New York, Oct. , 21 When Charles
S. -Mellen was a boy in Concord, N.
IT., aout the beginning of the Civil
War, his parents hoped for him a
career as a musiciam. To the extent
of attaining some proficiency on the
orfan he shared in the dream.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. j Mellen
demonstrated what sort of a railroad
man would have been lost if. he had
not. when he -was 18,, forsaken his
organ for a desk, in the offltfe of the
cjvshier of the Northern; New, Hamp
shire Railroad. . i
While the. eleven past and present
directors of the New Haven on . trial
in Judge Hunt's part of the' TJnited
States District Court listened as-- if
fascinated while the Jurors who are
to decide whether -these 'directors
were guilty of a conspiracy to mon
opolize commerce watched in appar
ent amazement, Mr. Mellen repro
duced the transportation situation of
New Etiglan'd as it was in 1890. He
talked for one hour and a half with-J
out "r avimg once to pause for a fact,
a date or a word in which to sum
marize a condition. -
, He Used Map and Pointer.
" A map, fiye feet by six, was spread
before the crowded court room, and
with a pointer, as he stoo4 beside
this mapr Mr. Mellen traced the routes
of 48 railroads, 12 connecting alines
and five steamboat Jines.
r' He needed never to look before he
pointed , fo- the 5 town he wanted;-, his
wand -tvas touching it by the time he
had -uirned about. . He told exactly
how far apart werei the towns he was
talking a-bout. He knew the mileage
of the roads, the amount of traffic
they handled, thW number of agents
they had! He knew the times of
departure of , their principal trains,
and the number of cars they carried
crfiinarily; he even told the colors the
cars were painted. : -,
Mr. Mellen was ' laying the founda
tion for the government's, charge that
when the Sherman law came intoi
effect on July 2, 1890, New Haven di
rectors had under way an unlawful
project for the bringing Of these sixty
five railroad and .steamship lines into
a single 'system and that system their:
own. . ..';'.-" 4
His story was begun, after Frank
M. Swacker Lnd 'R. L. Batts, for the
government, ' had: won - an hour-long
battle with the defense for- the right
to have the story1 told in chronological
sequence. No more han the opening
paragraphs had been set forth when
court.-adjourned for the day, -and it
Is possible that by the end of this
week only the first criapter will have
found its way. in to the record.
In Washington, a year ago, when
Mr. Mellen was asked what his occu
pation was, he replied: . .
Working for the Interstate com
merce-Commission.
t; . "i am a Farmer." .
Yesterday, whn he took the stand
and'iwas asked the same question, his
answer was: ' . ,s .;l
Making two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before. I am a
farmer, air1 agrictjlturist, and have
been since I left the New Haven mil-
road presidency, ' Aug. 31, 1913." "'
f Mr.' Mellen spoke rapidly, in a high-
pitched 'voice. Sometimes he held his
pointer as a drum major holds his
baton. Sometimes he gestured witn
it : sometimes he tucked it back under
his arms so that he might , ejnphasize
statements with an outstretched, fore
finger. i
No one dozed whll Mr. mellen car
ried on , his swift discourse, that had
about it a quality that made his hear
ers grasp just what he wanted them
to grasp. . Even when ne came, .at
the end, to tell of "the through 'freight
lines which gave New .BJigland com-.
petitive rates to and from all other
sections of the country, he visualized
for his a.udience a situation with
which he, perhaps alone, was familiar.
"Those," he explained, "were volun
tary organizations vby which half a
dozen railroads would get together
ana torm a line- wmcu e,?
a trade mark like the 'Housatonlo
Line.' . That. line wouia eoiicit xne

nec tton w-1h its publicity and legisla
tive campaign are to be gone Into at
this, trial, it became apparent yester
day. Subpoenas were served in
Boston on seven men who figured in
the investigation of the Massachusetts
Jfublic Service Commission a year ago.
The. men called - include Bruce Wy
man, who resigned a professorship at
Harvard after it was shown that he
was under retainer by the road, and
Howard W. Kendall, ponald C. Mc
Donald and ' Ellas McQuaid, newspa
per correspondents at the State
Hcu.se, -Boslon.
The defense's attack upon the pro
cedure proposed by the government
came with the offering for identifica
tion to Arthur E. Clark, secretary of
the New Huven of the so-called tripar
tite agreement among the New Ha
ven, the New York Central and New
York and Harlem, giving the . New
Haven entrance "to New York 'city.
This agreement has 'been called by
the government the fountain-head of
the conspiracy. ,
'We object," said Thomas Thach
er, counsel for Mr. Barney, "on be
half of all the defendants that this
has nothing to do with the issues
presented by the indictment.
"Under this indictment no crime or
misdemeanor can be prosecuted ex
cept such as was committed during
the last three years -before-the. Indict
ment was filed, that is," since Sept. 2 6,
1912. The crime that is charged
against these defendants is the single
crime of conspiracy to monopolize- in
terstate commerce. The indictment
in its broad statement is, of course,
known to each . of us to be untrue.
"It seems to me that when the
acts which were done in the three
years are the only acts which can be
found to be criminal in this proceed
ing it follows that ancient history can
toe admissible only to throw light so
that the acts done . within the period
may be determined."
"If anything," interrupted John G.
Milbura, counsel . for Charles M.
Pratt, "that occurred prior to 1912 is
relevant only to throw light on some
thing which was done after thte be
ginning of; 19 12, then in the name
of Goodness shouldn't we first have
the .thing 'upon which "light isi to be
thrown, before we have the ' thing
which throws the light?"
The Court Interrupts '
"That," said Judge Hunt, "is the
purpose of the Government; that is
exactly what the purpose is in intro
ducing the important antecedent for
the-, purpose of establishing a condi
tion which would justify a prima fa
cie inference that there was a com
bination into which the "defendants
may have come. Usually we have
the ' converse of the proposition - you
are stating; usually the objection is
made by the defendant fchat no proof
can be offered of the character sought
to be Introduced."
' "We are starting in wrong here,
argued Mr. Milburn. "We are start
ing in to have days and weeks, per
haps, of details of matters? without
the guiding principle of how much is
relevant brpught to the attention of
the court and jury by some evidence
bearing on the offense.
.. O'You don't mean to contend, be
gan Judge Hunt, that & conspiracy
must have had 'its birth in 19"
"No,: was the reply, "but the exist-
enceof the child must be shown in
1912, in 1913. The acts must be
Lshown, to show that there'was some-
"I will go further than that., -said
Judge Hunt, "I will say that the ex-
Uatence of the parent must be shown
Deiore you can ouuw xii Dimpiiug.
The" first question the Jury will have
to decide In this case Is, was there
any combination at all which had for
its purpose the - monopolization of
commerce charged in the indictment.
If the government . has established
that to the satisfaction of the jury
beyond a reasonable doubt, they may
then advance to the second question,
-if It was in existence about, we will
say. 1912." '
Mr. Milburn cited at length rulings
by Chief Justice Marshall . in- the trial
of3 Aaron Burr for treason in 1807, and
Mr. Batts, for the government, inter
posed: ' '
"We acknowledge our obligation to
show that the conspiracy ran over into
the three-year period, and our obliga
tion to show that each of these de
fendants was a party to It within that
period of time. It would not be rea
sonably practicable for the govern
ment" to take up the isolated facts that
come within these three years without
the ' understanding of the matter
brought home to the defendants prior
to that' time."
' The Court Rules. ,
"I find ho difficulty in- ruling upon
the question," said Judge Hunt, when
the argument had filled an even hour.
"Some experience in times gone toy in
endeavoring .to reverse that logical
order which seems to me should pre
vail has, after listening to' counsel,
confirmed me in the view that the
philosophy of the rule usually followed
has--as its -basis the requirement that
the government ; shall prove its case
beyond a reasonable doubt, and that
the fuU rights of the defendants will
be protected by following the rule.
"I find no difficulty in saying that
this case is not an exception, and that
the government should proceed to the
development of its case, and to es
tablish prima facie that a conspiracy
existed, which would be the first ques
tion the jury wijl - have to decide,
upon." ' '
De Lancey Nicoll, counsel for Lewis
Cass Ledyard, . took an exception. Mr.
Swacker finished the identification of
exhibits by Mr. Clark and called Ar
thur P. Russell ef the New Haven's
legal staff, who' identified documentary
exhibits which ' brought the whole
num'ber for the first day up to 998.

JAPANESE TROOPS
OCCUPY BEAUTIFUL
CITY DFTSING-TAO
More Than 12,000 Niponeses
Have Replaced 3,500
European Residents
Tsing-Tao, Oct. 20 Few "traces re
main of the long siege which robbed
the Germans of, this model city and
turned it into Japanese hands. By
means of aeroplane scouts the Jap
anese were ;.ble to direct the fire of
their big guns against the fort6 of
the heights surrounding Tsing-tao so
accurately that little damage was
done to anything but the military
strongholds. A few stray shells land
ed in the city. Pieces of shell did
slight damage to the American Con
sulate. .The Brazilian Consulate was
wrecked. A corner was knocked off
the Prinz Heinrich hotel, ,a preten
tious building on the water .front. But
all damaged walls have been repair
ed and the beautiful city which the
Germans carved out of the granite
hills facing Kio-Chow Bay is moving
along peacefully, ilttle changed except
ing that Japanese have replaced Ger
mans. ,
Instead of 3,500 Europeans who liv
ed in Tsing-Tao previous to the siege,
12,500 Japanese have settled - here.
Many of them have opened up shops
and taken over business which the
Germans conducted. The ; Japanese
government discourasred this rush to
Tsing-tao, which was overdone to the
extent that many of the new shops
have, had to close. 1
"Military necessity," has' enabled
Japanese officials to take over many
private institutions a3 well as the pub
lic buildings. Lieutenant-Colonel'
Yoshimura, the military governor,, oc
cupies the handsome stone structure
formerly used by Colonel Waldeck, the .
German governor of the concession,
who is now a prisoner in Japan. This
imposing building surmounts a high
knoll ' in the ' heart of the European
section of the city and the great white
flag with the red pioon in it which
floats from the lofty tower is the first
thing which meets the eye of a visitor
entering Tsing-tao on : the railway
manned by Japanese. "
A Japanese garrison of one batta
lion occupies the barracks on the
heights overlooking the city. Japanese
soldiers poice the city and two regi
ments of Japanese are scattered along
the 246 miles of railway built by the
Germans to connect their seaport with
the railway system which touches Pe
king, . Tien-tain and Shanghai and
connects those centers with the Yang-tse-kiang
and other great rivers pene
trating the Interior of China. .
', General "Ohtani commands the Jap
anese forces in Tsing-ao and along
the Shantung railway. Baron Funa
koshi, who was attached to the Jap
anese Embassy at Berlin before the
war but- left that city, previous to, Ja
pan's declaration of hostilities, is - in
charge of what the Japanese call a
"diplomatic bureau," an organization
designed to look after claims and in
ternational questions growing out of
the war conditions. The American
consul, M. R. Peck,- returned to
Tsing-tao immediately-after the siege
and is looking after the interests ' of
Americans and belligerents in a semi
official way. He has no official
standing and is .in much the same
position as American consuls in Bel
gium. , To apply for official recogni
tion from the Japanese would imply
admission by the United States of Ja
pan's sovereignty in Tsing-tao and
the entire Kiao-Chow. concession held
by Germany. This comprises an area
of many square miles along Kiao
Chow Bay in addition, to the city of
Tsing-tao proper, but does not in
clude the town of Kiao-Chow, which
is frequently confused with the con
cession bearing the same name. .
Rumors are in circulation in Tsing-
tao that- the Japanese will soon estab
l'.sh a civil government in the con1
cession, but no official announcement
has been made. Japan has turned
the customs oveisto China, under Ja
panese supervision, "retaining 20 per
cent, of the receipts for operating pur
poses. Broadly speaking, J apan .now
stands just where Germany did before
the war in relation to the conces
sion. " Japan has substituted its name
for, Germany throughout '.the treaty
agreement between China and Ger
many, granting the Germans the 99
year lease on the seaport territory and
the right to build railways in Shan
tung province.
In preparation; for' the attack, - of
Tsing-tao the Japanese , effected a
landing in Lao-shan-wan Bay, forty-
five miles northwest of Tsing-tao and
constructed a temporary railway upon
which. they moved their 28 centimeter
guns and supplies in sites behind the
hills surrounding the city. Germans
and Chinese believed the Japanese
would hold this rlghtof-way and build
a permanent line, but the Japanese
have already taken up the rails and
abandoned the route.
Little change has been 'made in the
general appearance of the city by the
Japanese. "Rollschubahn" Is the
si&n which still stands high above the
roller skating . rink. . The name
Sehantuner Eisenbahn Gesellsehaft"
lfas not Seen painted out on the roll
ing stock of the railway and German
signs are still in place above all the
stations. "Kaiser Wilhelm Ufer"
flouts itself proudly. on the street
signs along the beautiful marine
drive. In all directions the typically
German names Of firms stand forth
on the quaint gables and towers of
business houses which suggest Heidel-
burg or Vienna. , . I
Japanese soldiers ride on-, all the
train's, between Tsing-tao, .and Tsi
nan. It requires twelve hours to
make the trip of 246 mile on the
single passenger train running each
way daily and the service is very
poor. .'War times, you know, a Jap
anese officer 'remarked when the fact
was mentioned that . the Germans
made the run in nire hours, or less.
The tracks were damaged somewhat
by the high water this spring. Only
necessary repairs are being made by
the Japanese who say they do not
want to spend any money until the
ownership of the line is determined.
Under German management the line
made . from 6 to 8 per cent, annual
profit. It has two short spurs into
rich coal fields and had a heavy coal
haul. The Japanese say the line vis
not is not profitable.,. It is now car
rying many cattle and large quanti
ties of hides and lard which are sent,
to Vladivostok for the Russian army.
The concurrence of the Japanese
in England's refusal to carry enemy
freight has greatly curtailed both
railway and steamer freight at Tsing
tao. Many Germans from Tsing-tao
went to Tsi-nan and other Chinese
towns to continue their business. Un
til the Japanese shipping lines put up
the bars the Germans were able to
get - considerable shipping . space
through co-operation with -neutrals.

Germans operated a great brewery in
Tsing-tao which is now run as a Brit
ish corporation by English stockhold
ers. The most conspicuous monument In
Tsing-tao is a great granite monolith
which the Germans .erected on the
water-front at the point where Ger
mans first landed in 18 98 to take over
the concession granted them by China.
On each of the four sides of the mon.
ument there was formerly a greai
bronze tablet commemorating the ac
quisition of this commercial gateway
to China. Three of these tablets have
been pried oft Only - one, bearing
the bust of Captain Jaeschke, the first
governor general ox ine oiony re
mains. Japanese officers,, say Chinese
coolies stole the tablets, for the metal.
But the marvelous modern city, which
the Germans created in sixteen, years
stands as an enduring monument to
their constructive genius. Bare gran
ite hills, were leveled, graded and
planted with such skill that pines
now cover tbe-on.ee barren peaks and
beautiful acacias- and maples thrive
everywhere la park and along ave
nues lined . with dignified modern,
buildings of granite and Wick. A
magnificent marine, drive was. cre
ated which winds all about the con
cession and stands out in startling
contrast to the Chinese roads, which
have existed for thousands of "years
but are scarcely passable for a loaded
donkey. 1
The Germans hoped to make
Tsing-tao a German Hong Kong. ' It
was to Jbe a naval base commanding
entrance to Central and , Northern
China's trade Just as Hdrig Cong is
the stronghold controlling - the com
merce of South China, But she lack
ed the navy to defend her remote out
posts - in the Far East and Japan's
overwhelming , military strength was
too -much for the garrison of. 2,500

London, Oct. 21. The Petrograd

Sergius Sazonoff, Russian minister of
foreign "affairs, as saying in a state

not only in blockading Dedeaghatch
and the Bulgarian coast but in any
other measures to prevent the Teu

for entente allies should think of
purely economic methods for cafe-
