The importance attached to Repre- wentative Hay’'s announcement was in- dicated by the fact that soon after it was made ‘Secretary Garrison broke sthe silence he had maintained as to army plane ever since he received. President Wilson's letter directing him to have d_a comprehensive re- view of the nation’s military needs and recommendations for strengthening the mationai defense. Mr. Garrison issued statement: oThis will insure the best possible With the aid of Mr. Hay's examence ang skill in formulating. the measures and his powerful advocacy in support thereof. success in the house is assured. I understand that Senator Chamberlain ‘of the 'senate military committe takes a precisely similar at- titude, so that there will be hearty c operation and united effort all alons. the line.

Swacker, the examining attorney for the govern- ment. “Well, that was so long ago that I don’t remember,” replied the witness. It is the government's contention that he rule was devised for the sole pur- pose of injuring the New England. To prove that the New Haven officials had RO other purpése in mind, the govern- meni attorney introduced letters, ap- parently satirical, exchanged between Mr. Mellen-and C. Peter Clark, general freight agent of the Old Colony and & son of Charles P. Clark. The Old Col- ORY; one ‘of the lines the New Haven had’ already ebeorbed, connected with the New Etgland at Walpole, Mass. Mr. Mellen wrote that he had no doubt thit Clark could “fix up a good letter that. will @raw- tears to the eyes of thos who receive it, letting them know that. we- are only driven to this by dire necessity. 3 To- this Clark replied that to write aletter would take too miuch “evi- dence ” byt that he would send “young Paimer” to sec the New England peo- ple, who will reflect our grief at the cruvl situation.” Clark explained ~that “young Mr. Palraer” had just come to the Old Cal- ony at a lower salary than he had been receiving at a time when he was just abouc to-have been married. “And the poor fellow has been waiting, waiting, waltiug ever since. I think his mourn- tul oppearance will enable him to do ampic justice ko the sad side of this tnfortunate business.” There was & broad smile on Mr. Mel- len's face while the letters were being read, and he joined in the laughter that toliowed. ‘There surely will be a circus when Clark gets back,” wrote Mr. Mellen to a subordinate official in 1894 in regard to the business the New Engiand had | been recently getting from its trunk ne connections. “If there is one thing Mr. Clark won't put up with, it is this road’s not being able to hold its own with the New England.” The «New Haven, subsequent letters | revealed, bad a traffic arrangement with the Pennsylvania railroad for its through freight in and out of New England, and began negotiations with the Lehigh Valley, the Jersey Central. the. Reading -and the Baltimore and Ohio to get their business also, butl only on condition that they _should cease sending it by the New England roud’s route. To this it was apparent in one letter the Pennsylvania pro- tested, whereupon Mr. Meéllen wrote to Charlés P. Clark on Jan. 25, 1894: “This business is coming in by the lines of our bitterest antagonist. The Penrsylvania is our favored connec- tion, Brst, last and all the time, but we. should not be obliged to forego business that helps us, weakens our | antagonist and does no harm to them (the Pennsyivania).” “The business referred to,” explained ood-nght Corns, Good- Boy “Gets-It" | New-Plan Corn Remedy That Never Fi The Simple.
