CHARGED WITH SEVEN OVERT ACTS| Federal Grand Jury at New York Returns Joint Indictment Against President Mellen of N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R, and President Chamberlin and Chairman Smithers of Grand Trunk—Accused of Attempts to Restrain Trade. Ngw York, Dec. 23.—Charles S len, president of the New York, Haven and Hartford railroad, Edson J. Chamberlin, pre ent of the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, and Alfred W. Smithers, chairman of the board of directors of the Grand Trunk, were jolntly indicted by the federal grand ury in this city today under the herman anti-trust law. Penalty Is Imprisonment or Fine. They are charged with conspiring to restrain trade in connection with a “memoranda of agreement” between the two roads under which, it is al- leged, the Grand Trunk proposed to abandon the extension of its railroad lines to Providence, R. I, together with a projected steamship line be- tween Providence and New York. The penalty for the crime charged, which is alleged to be a violation of section 1 of the Sherman anti-trust law, is one year in jail, a fine of $5,000, or both. Mellen and Chamberlin to Plead Today Mr. Mellen and Mr. Chamberlin upon being informed of the indictment, promised the federal authorities through their cou 1 that they would appear at 1 o'clock tomorrow after- noon to enter their ple: Mr. Chamberlin, whose home is in Montreal, is already in New York and Mr, Mellen will come from New Ha- ven. Mr. Smithers is a British sub- Ject and is now id to be in London. Unless he, voluntarily surrenders him- self, extradition proceedings will be necessary to bring him within the jur- {sdiction of the court. It is believed by the federal authoriti however, that he will sail for this country as soon as he hears that an indictment lies against him. Grand Trunk Would Have Competitor. “But for the c erime set forth, t tem,” the indictr charges, * have actively competed with the Haven system for the carriage of in- terstate and foreign commerce between southern New England cities and the west. Through their connections, it ia_recited, both systems reached the same cities in the west, both in the United States and Canada. A “quiet” .meeting between Mellen, Chamberlin and Smithers in New York on Aug. 5 1912, is named in the in- dictment as the time and place at which the defendan first “engaged in an unlawful combination and con- spiracy to prevent the construction and completion” of the proposed ex- tension of the nd Trunk railway eystem in New England and the oper- ation of the Grang Trunk steamships between Providence and New York. Seven Overt\ Acts Alleged. Two other meetings, it is alleged, were afterward held, also in New York, one on Sept. 20, 1912, and the other on Oct. 1, 1 for the purpose of completing the ged Seven overt acts are set forth in the indictment. They include the meetings In New York between the defendants and the exchange of two memoranda between Mellen and Chamberlin, the first of which provided that the Grand Trunk “should sell to the New Haven system all its interest in the Central Vermont and its subsidiaries, which would include all of the proposed ex- tensions in New England.” The eecond and final memorandum which “the defendant Mellen initiated” provided, however, that the Grand Trunk was “to retain the Central Ver- mont ang existing controlled lines and continue its existing business as at present.” New Haven to Protect Grand Trunk. This memorandum, arranged for in- terchange of traffic at certain points, Joint use of certain lines and set forth that the New Haven should “protect Grand Trunk in every 7 in. its pow- er, in its preeent differential rates from New England points and such mew territory as it is proposed to open up to it hereb Another act alleged was t berlin wrote to -J.

The Grand Trunk through its sub- sidiary, the Central Vermont, proposed, the indictment recites, to operate a line incorporated as the Southern New England Railway company in Rhode Island and as the Southern New Eng- land Railroad corporation in Massa- chusetts, from Palmer, Mass,, to Prov- idence, R. I, and a line of steam- ships from Providence to New York. Work was begun on the construction on the line from Palmer to Provi- dence on May 22, 1912, and wa§ con- tinued until November 9, 1912, Dur- ing that time it is set forth there was expended on the line and in the con- struction of steamships the sum of $2,000,000 and there had been incurred further obligations amounting to $2,- 000,000 more.
