Mellen, former President of the New Haven Railroad, in Wasbington yesterday relative to a visit Mr. Mel- len paid to the White House in the spring of 1907 was substantially cor- rect. Mr. Mellen’s etatement was quoted to him, He said that when Mr, Mellen went to him to discuss the merging of the New Haven with the Boston & Maine he told bim that so far as he was concerned he would have no objec- tion, provided the merger came within the law. Hi id that he sent Mr. Mellen to Franklin K, Lane, then of the Interstate Commerce Commission, for information on that point. “But I told Mr. Mellen that if the merger could be accomplished and the law should be violated be mustn't come back."
