The body of Chief Stew- ard Matthews, who died from burns hile in the open boat, also was frought by the Franconia. James Drohan, the wireless opera- tor of the Columbian, expressed the opinion that spontaneous combustion in the cargo of rags and junk caused the fire. He said he was awdkened by an explosion shortly before mid- pight Sunday night and when he rushed out on deck the vessel was in ames. e Relief Fund Raised. The saloon passengers on the Fran- conia, among whom was Raymond Helmont, son of August Relmont of w York, assisted in giving first aid to the survivors, provided clothing for them and subscribed to a fund for heir relief. The survivors had’ not recovered sufficiently from their wounds and ex- ustion to give a detailed account of their escape from the burning ship nd their forty hours of exposure in open and leaking boat.

[This capital was paid in by me in cash: he transactions between myself and he Billard company were substantial- as follows: I sold to the ‘Billard pmpany $14,250,000 of gold notes of the New England Investment and Se- curity company, receiving the payment therefor $14,250,000 in gold notes of fhe Rillard company. These Billard cmpany notes were, in accordance with the original understanding, pur- chased by the New England Naviga- btion company.

The statement further says that the market was a falling one, and the shares were not sold. In accordance with the verhal agreement, the shares were turned back upon an account- ing, so that the Billard company n~ ther lost or made a dollar by the transaction. Continuing M. Billard said that the shares of Boston and Maine stock he bought subsequent to the original pur- chase from he New Haven of 109,- 948 shares, h- scld at the best price obtainable from the Boston Railroad Holding compuny. The price was ay- proved by the Massachusetts railroad commissionars, and as he recollected i, was $150 a share on the common stock and $1o0 ¢n the preferred. Had No Assoclations. “No officer or director of the rail- road company,” he continued, “was in any way associated with me or had any interest in my transactions in Boston and Maine stock or in the Billard company. ““When the Billard company was in process of liquidation I told President Mellen that in order that he should feel that, if anything happened to me, he was in a position te protect the in. terests of his company as creditor of the Billard company, I would deposit with him nearly all of the certificates of the Billard Co. stock endorsed in blank, to be returned to me at my re- quest. 'When he resigned as president he asked me“if he might temporarily use the certificates as security for a loan of $375,000 he desired to make from the New England Navigation company with the approval of its di- rectors. To this I consented. The note to the New England Navigation company was subsequently paid, and the collateral released. Resigned From Company. “The charter of the Billard com- pany, as I understood it, lapsed some time ago, or at least the public au- thorities of the state of Connecticut so contended. In process of liquida- tion the company’s capital stock was reduced to twenty shares, which were transferred to other stockholders, and 1 resigned as an officer and director.” Chase on Stand. Chief Counsel Folk, at the opening of the hearing, recalled Warren Chase to the stand with a view to as- sisting him, by certain documents, in refreshing his memory upon certain transactions, about which yesterday his memory was at fault, ‘When recalled to the stand ' Mr. Chase requested permission to make a change in his testimony of yester- day concerning the Metropolitan Steamship company of New Jersey. He had been asked where he had got the money with which to finance that proposition. “I desire to say that Douglas Nich- olson represented me in the purchase of the Metropolitan company securi- ties,” said Chase, “He was not a dum- my. In fact, he is a very substantial man. T suppose he got the money for purchase of the securities from the Assets Realization company which took over all of the stock and securi- ties of the Metropolitan Steamship company. Afterwarq, in 1910, he dis- posed of the securities, except the stock, to Edward T. Canfield, a Hart- ford, Conn., lawyer, acting for E. D. Robbins. + My recollection is that the approximate price paid was $1,500,- 000. We retained 14,300 shares of the stock of the Metropolitan Steam- ship ~company. The approximate amount of the securities of the Met- ropolitan purchased by Canfield for Robbing was $653,000 in bonds, $100,000 or $500,000 in gold notes, $500,000 of short time notes; $375,- 000 of other securities.” After Pacific Company. “What was the Pacific company?” asked Mr, Folk. “I formed the Pacific company,” replied Chase, “at the joint instance of Mr. Robbins and Mr, Goodale.” “What was its capital?” “%vdhon‘t remember.” 5 at did the Pacific ¢ : g 'S company I don’t want to go into that mat- ter,”” replied the, witness. “I was acting as attorney in a confidential capacity and feel that I ought not to disclose information of that kind." “Did you handle any money for the Pacific company 2" Refuses to Answer. “I refuse to answer,” responded Chase, *“and in addition I don’t re- member. I refuse to answer any ques- tion at all about the operations of the Pacific company.” “Are you willing to take the con- sequences of your refusal?” asked Mr. Folk, “I am.” “Step aside, then,” suggested Mr. Folk. “You are directed to' answer these questions,” interjected Commissioner McChord, in charge of the hearing. “You understand that?” “Yes, sir,” replied Chase. Mellen Not Connected. Counsel Crim, representing Chl\rle!! S. Mellen, asked Chase whether Mr* Mellen had anything to do with the Metropolitan Steamship company and with the sale of its securities. “I' never heard of Mellen whole transaction,” replied the wit- ness. “In fact, I never heard of any- body connected with the New Haven in connection with the matter, ex- cept Mr. Robbins, the general coun- sel, who, I understood, was acting as an individual and for himself. So far as I know neither Mr. Mellen nor any other official of the New Haven, except Mr. Robbins, had absolutely any knowledge of the transaction.” Operating Agreement Reached. In response to some further ques- tions of Chief Counsel Folk, Chase said that in the fall of 1910 the Metropolitan Steamship company of New Jersey, having only $11,000 in cash, with many outstanding obliga- tions. and facing a receivership. reached an operating agreement with the Pacific Navigation company through Captain Goodall of San Fran- cisco, by which the Pacific Naviga- tion company took over the steamers This, Mr, Chase . in the sald, was a great financial to the Metropolitan. “Was not Charles W. Morse con- cerned in some negotiations several years before 1910, looking to transfer of the steamers?” inquired Mr. Folk, “In 1907, a day before the financial panic, Morse and Captain Goodall had come to some understanding, but the panic stopped everything.” “Did Mr. Mellen have anything to do’ with the Yale and Harvard going to the Pacific coast?” mr. Chase was asked. “Never, while I had anything to do with the Metropolitan company, so help me God, governor.” Robbins Is Aroused. Questions put to Mr. Chase as to de- tails of the purchase of Metropolitan Steamship company and other stocks by the Chilmark company aroused the ire of Mr, Robbins, wnose name was mentjoned in connection with some of the testimony. Jumping to his feet he declared: *“I object to Mr. Folk's interrupting the witness while he is in the midst of answering a question. He continued to protest in such vig- orous language that Commissioner McGhord commanded him to take his seat. 2 Mr. Chase said the stock of the Chilmark company was owned by himself personally, and not in trust for anyone else. “Then you have made a profit of $1,000,000 because the whilmark com- pany owns the Metropolitan com- pany?” declared Mr. Folk. “‘Not at all,” replied the witness. “The Yale and Harvard, still owned by the Metropolitan, are heavily mort- gaged and the steamship company has $2,000,000 in outstanding obligatjons.” help Berlin News (Continued from Seven‘th Page.) ray Homestead on Friday evening, May 22, when a whist and social is to be given there under the auspices of St. Paul's church.
