SAYS GRAND TRUNK BROKE FAITH BY NEWHAVEN DEAL Road's Attomey Tricked, He Declares, Like People of New England. MAKES OPEN PROTEST. Remick, in Letter to Directors, Tells How Deal Be- trays Public. CONCORD, N. H., Deo, 19.—~Testl+ ™mony that behind the seemingly in- Rocent traffic agreement between tho New Haven Railroad and the Grand Trunk, now under investigation py a Federal Grand Jury in New York, there Jay something more vitally concerning the New Haven monopoly, is contained in @ statement made here by James W. Remick, counsel in New Hampshire for the Grand Trunk Raflway. Mr. Remick feels that his trust as an ai torney has been betrayed, to a cer tain extent, by the ection of Presid Ohamberlin of the Grand Trunk in tempting to make a trafic agreement With President Mellen of the New Maven Before accepting the task which was given him of persuading the New Hampshire business men and legisia- tors that it would be a good thing to @ive the Grand Trunk free access and emtty into Southern New England, Mr. Remick demanded and obtained, so far as he could understand euch a declaration, a promise that under no Circumstances would the Grand Trunk Felinquish the project it had in view, and make a deal with the New Haven. While Charles M. Hays, who really conceived the idea of bringing the Grand Trunk into Southern New Eng- Yand, was alive, Mr. Remick feared nothing of the outcome. To Mellen Personally Mr. Hays is known to have ata: “I have pledged my word to the peo- ple of New England that the Grand ‘Trunk Railroad will never abandon the Present project, no matter what in- ducements you may offer. My word fe my honor and I cannot discuss any traMc agreement with you.” MELLEN GRASPED CHANCE WHEN HAYS DIED. But when Mr. Hays went down with the Titanic, Mellen was quick to seize the opportunity, Chamberlin, who suc- ceeded Hays, was as putty in Melien's hands. Vice-President Fitzhugh was one of those who, with Hays, had Pledged the faith of the Grand Trunk that nothing Mellen could do would ever prevent the Grand Trunk from heving its own road into Southern New England. But when Chamberlin took hold, Fitzhugh, lke Remick, was pushed aside. In his statement Mr. Remick points out this situation and what happened afterward very forcibly. In a letter @ddressed to his associates and the dl- rectors of the Southern New England Railroad Corporation, and to “the indi- viduals and organizations whose sup- port of the Grand Trunk may have been induced by my assurances of goad faith,” he saye: “In view of the so-called ‘deal’ be- tween the Grand Trunk and the New |* Haven Railroad for the abandonment of the New England extensions promised by the Grand Trunk, I want all who have espoused the cause of the iatter rafiroad, relying upon my assurances of {te entire good faith, to know that I have not been a party to any deal, and that if the Grand Trunk has been guilty ef bad faith it has imposed upon me QS well as upon the public at large. ABSBURED THERE WAS NO DEAL AS PUBLIC FEARED. e “When Mr. Fitzhugh, representing the Grand Trunk interests in New England, eked me to take charge of the cam- paign in New Hampshire to secure charter rights I was quite ready to do] ¢1 80, but only upon condition tnat the Grand Trunk was to actually extend its lines to Boston and not, by the menace of extension, to force a trafic arrange- ment which would merely make tha Grand Trunk another ally of the New Haven system and leave the people more completely than ever sadject to the dom- {nating force of the New Haven mo- nopoly. Receiving trom Mr. Fitzhugh the most emphatic asyurance upon this Point, I enlisted with all my heart for the Grand Trunk, “It devolved upon me to appeal to representative citizens of the State, Bvery one approached expressed and fear that the railro traMo arrangement: opportune moment a desl would be made between them and the proposed extension abandoned. It was only by assuring them, as I had been aysured , aud that that they need have no_ hesitation upon this point, and by pledging them ty honor that thelr honor should not any deal, that their co-opera- ire, attorney for the Grand ste, the first news that a ‘deal’ was on foot was as much a sur- muffer ir prise to me as it Was to any one, The| news came to me two days before it fe) become public and immediately, Refore the press of New England had ‘said a word in protest, or, in fact, knew about it, I expressed my mind tn a cablegram to Mr, Smithers, Chairman of the Grand Trunk directors tn Lon- don.

HARTFORD, Conn., Deo. 19%,—Chiet | Engineer Elwell of the Public Utilities Commission has filed his report on the inspection of track conditions of | the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad Company between New York State line and New Haven with that commission. Summariging condi- tions the report says. The roadbed in general was found to be in excellent condition, well bal- lasted and true as to line and grade. A number of defects were found which were noted and located by distance from the starting point at Station zero, Byram River, at New York State line. None of these de- fects are of much extreme character As to be pronounced immediately un- safe or dangerous.

Mrs. Powelson’s Will Gives Grand- son Only $5—Friends Unable to Learn Cause of Death. Mary Ann Powelson, an aged who lived for y recluse in New Brunswick, N. J., and died at the home of Anthony C. Vail In Newark on Dee. 5, left Vail practically | all her estate, !t developed yesterday. Efforts of her friends at the time of her | death to discover the cause and to learn what became of her property were fruit- less. “Five dollars and no more” was the specified statement made in Mrs. Powel- son's will in bequeathing this sum to a grandson, Lawrence ©mmons Powelson, who ta employed in New York and lives in Connectiout. The will is dated Oct. Ni, 1912, and names James F. Donnelly of Newark executor to serve without bonds. ¢ Mrs. Powelson, on Dec. 4 last, trans- ferred a piece of property to Mr. Vall for $1, and “other valuable considera- tions.” The latter includ it ts said, an agreement that Mr. Vall should sup- port the woman for the rest of her life. ‘The value of the estate {s unknown, Vail paid frequent visits to Mrs, Pow- elson in New Brunswick prior to Octo- ber.
