MELLEN WANTED T0 SAVE J. P. MORGAN| From Being Involved in New Haven-Grand Truok Deal New York, Dec. 3.—Charles len told the jury today at the tr the eleven former directors of New York, New failroad how he had asked to go be- fore the grand jury which investigat- ed the so-called New Haven-Grand Trunk deal in 1912 and take all re- sponsibility in order to save J. P. Morgan from being involved “I thought,” he said, “that by ing a good, straightforward story to the grand jury. I could put the whole investigation on the bum. T thought ¥ could straighten the whole matter out satisfactorily. T wanted to take the responsibility and keep Mr. Mor- gan out of it. I was arraid he had done something—1I didn’t know what —and I “dnted to keep him out of R(-qucat Made in Letter. Mellen made the request in a letter to District Attorney Wis which he said he had prepared in consultation with Edward D. Robbins, and Lewis ass Ledyard, two of the defendant: after Mellen had had an interview with Mr. Morgan. The witness explained that Morgan had “been obsessed with the idea that | the New Haven ought to acquire the 1 New London Northern from the Grand Trunk. ; Morgan Had Interview. Morgan, about two months viously had had an interview with Edson J. Chamberlain and Alfred W. Siithers, president and chairman re- spectively, of the Grand Trunk, which, Mellen said, Morgan had sisted that the Grand Trunk sell the New London line to the New Haven and said “There could be no peace™ until that was done. Mellen was pfesent at this interview, which he said he supposed had been arranged by himself, and that Morgan had ap- peared at it unexpectedly, as far as the witness was concerned. “It came to me by rumors and grape- | vine information that Mr. Morgan had had an interview with them the night before at the Plaza,” said Mr. Mellen, “There was something going on that | I didn’t know anything about. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Smithers had met in London, and T had seen letters written from London to Mr. Morgan referring to the subject.

The vigilance committee of the Chamber of Commerce unearthed what it claims to be an attempt to swindle local people out of money through the old sympathy gag of claiming to be soliciting for charitable institutions, and as a result the party which in this case was a woman, spent eral unpleasant moments in the police station, until she convinced the police that her purpose in this city was a legitimate one, and she to go her way. ccretary Andrews was busying himself this morning with his routine duties when the telephone bell rang, und one of the members of the Cham- ber wanted to know if the New Britain Visiting Nurses’ association had authorized a woman to go about the city to seek aid for the organiza- ‘tion. The merchant said that he had been convinced by the woman’s tale. It was but a few moments later when a second 'phone call was received trom another merchant who had been approached by the same woman. Right here the vigilants were called n, and a search was started for the woman. Assistant Secretary Greene was immediately dispatched to look up the solicitor and was successful in so doing. A policeman was sum- moned and the woman was taken into custody. At the station she said she was from Jersey City, N. J., and repre- sented a day nursery in Brooklyn, N Y., and this was the story that she told the local men whom she ap- proached. The police believed the story evidently, for the woman was liberated. Secretary Andrews this issued a warning to beware of woman. Secretary Andrews got into com- munication with the charity organ- ization in Brooklyn, N. Y., immediate- lv and learned this afternoon, that the methods employed by the woman are not sanctioned by their body. The Brooklyn people claim that this particular organization has a number of solicitors on the road and these people get the larger portion of the proceeds collected. afternoon the FINISH ARGUMENTS TODAY.

Mr. De Vyvere said he had come to the United States to look aft- er purchases made here for the Bel- gian government. He denied reports from London that he might arrange for a loan to Belgium.

TURKS FORCE ALLIED CRUISER TO RETREAT Hit Warship 'IT\I‘(‘(‘, Times in Dardan- clles Fighting—Drop Bombs on Allied Torpedo Boat. Constantinople, Dec. 3, via London 1:30 p. m.—The Turkish war office announced today that in fighting at the Dardanelles a cruiser of the allies had been hit three times and forced to retire. An allied torpedo boat was attacked by a Turkish aeroplanc after it had stranded on the coast of the Bay of Saros. The statement follows: “At some points on the Dardanelles front their has been fierce fighting with bombs. Two hostile cruisers near Amnafarta and two near Ari Burnu participated with land batter- ies in a bombardment. Our artillery replied, damaging trenches of the enemy and destroyving machine gun positions at Ari Burnu. Our artillery thrice hit a hostile cruiser near Seddul Bahr, compelled it to retreat. One of our aeroplanci { dropped bombs on a torpedo boot of the enemy, which had stranded on _the Northern coast of the Gulf of Saros, two miles west of Cape Ori- dsche.” STEEL FOR BATTLESHIPS. ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—There will be no delay in delivery of steel for battle- ships Nos. 43 and 44 if the govern- ment undertakes their construction in navy yards.

Labor leaders who are here to assist in organizing the strikers into various unions made the claind, however, that matters are developing which will broaden the strike. General Organizer G. A, Doyle of the International Union of Machinists stated that a general demand for the eight hour day in place of the fifty- five hour week was to be presented to the Winchester company by the tool makers and machinists and if the re- ply was not favorable those crafts- men were expected to walk out, Mr. Doyle said that figures complled by the several organizers point to about 900 persons on strike from the Win- chester plant. He said that the eom- pany’s claim that not more than 200 were out it is not borne out by facts. He said that the strikers include men employed in the adjusting, grinding, milling departments, and adjusters, primers, assemblers, reducers, ma- chinists and unskilled help. ‘Wear Winchester Button. Mr. Doyle said that the identity of persons who attend the strikers meetings cannot be mistaken as they wear the Winchester departmental button. He claimed that at the first meeting there were 195 present while the company claimed only eighty-six had gone. The number of electri- cians who have struck, he claimed, is forty: Mr. Doyle said that as yet the organizers who have come here are not familiar with the class of help who have struck as they generally class themselves under the name of the superintendent of the particular department in which they are em- ployed. Meetings of strikers were ‘held today. At noon addresses were made outside the Winchester plant by Organizer R. L. Hall of Boston, Vice President Jennings and General Or- ganizer J. J. Egan, all of the machin- ists’ union. The statement of the Winchester company today was to the effect that the number of strikers was not over 200. The claim was also made that the electricians who struck yesterday had made a request that they be per- mitted to return. Russian Under Detention. The Winchester company also stat- ed that at its request a Russian, John Spivak, aged ecightcen, who had been employed in the plant for five months had been taken to police headquarters for observation as to his mental con- dition. Spivak, it was claimed, had been acting irrationally and had been heard to make threats. Just what those threats were the company did not state. At police headquarters it was stat- ed that John Spivak came there and was sent to the city attorney’s office. At the latter place it was stated that Spivak asked as to his right to talk. He was told, it is understood, of the principle of free speech. So far as officials could see Spivak was all right. He departed from the city at- torney’s office, as there was no reason why he should remain. BARNARD IS SUED. New York Firm Claims That New- ington Man Did Not Pay His Note. Through Lawyer K. M. Pierce of Bristol, the Coe-Mortimer company of New York today brought suit against Edward R. Barnard of Newington, for $500. Sheriff M. D. Stockwell served the papers and attached pro- perty on Park street, this city. The writ is returnable before the court of common pleas on the first Tuesday in January. The New York company claims that on March 24, 1914, Barnard by his note promised to pay $375 with in- terest at six per cent. On May 25, 1915, they claim, he gave them a check for $401 which was protested and they had to pay the costs of $2.40. As but $150 on the original account has been paid, they claim, damages of $300 are asked. BAZAR TO CLOSE. The annual bazar of the Holy Fam- ily circle of St. Mary’'s church, which has been in day, will be brought to a close to- night in School hall An excellent program of entertainment has been arranged.

AMERICAN STEAMER STIRS SCANDINAVIA | 4 Swedish Torpedo Boat Halts Ship Andrew Welch from Being Con- voyed to Germany- London, Dec. 3, 7:45 a- m.—A Co=~ penhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company, filed yesterday says: “Tne American steamship An- drew Welch has become a center of attenticn in Scandinavia. Her history to date follows in brief: “After be- | ing chased by British patrol boats in | the Atlantic and by British subma- rines in the North sea, and crippled by a series of storms, she put into Bergen in distres: Norway granted the stranger permission to return to England but she started for Haelm- stad, Sweden. Again experiencing bad weather she took refuge outside the Skaw, finally arriving at Haelmstad, where it was found there was no re- ceiver for her cargo of beans valued at $150,000. ““The vessel remained quiet for some days but last night a steamer ar- rived from Lubeck to cenvoy her to Germany. A start was made in the night but a Swedish torpedo boat arrived on the scene asd forced the Andrew Welch to turn back to Haelmstad.” Avdilable maritime records do not list a steamer called the Andrev Welch. The American bark of that name, a vessel of 863 tons, sailed from San Francisco August 19 with a cargo of beans for Haelmstad.
