Lawyer Protests Against Delay and Says He Doesn't Want Immunity. WASHINGTON, May 26.—Presum- ably to permit an examination of the personal books and vouchers of J. P. Morgan & Co., and of the late head of that firm, the Interstate Commerce Commission's probe of the looting of the New Haven Raflroad was post- poned to-day until June 8. Simultaneously the subpoena served two weeks ago upon Lewis| Casa Ledyard was cancelled and} Ledyard, a former New Haven di-| rector, was invited to appear volun-| tarily, sign a waiver of immunity and tify. In accepting Ledyard, much chagrined, said he would “tell the whole truth,” although It dif- fered in many \etails from the state- | nw of former President Mellen. “The Commission hag under way various Investigations bearing upon the New Haven Rallroad,” said Com- injastoner McChord, announcing the} sudden adjournment. “These have not been completed. We understand Mr. Morgan proffers to let the com- mission or any other lawful tribi examine all the books, vouchers and papers of J. P, Morgan & Co., and of the Iate M&\ Morgan dealing with the New Haven Railroad. The commis- sion desires to avail itself of this op- portunity, and in view of this we will adjourn.’ Ledyard protested against the delay, declaring that he has been in Wash- ington for nearly two weeks waiting to be called. i1e asked permission to make a statement to-day. In denying {t McChord handed Ledyard a letter from the Commission, withdrawing the subpoona. When Ledyard read it his face binnched and in halting sentences he said: “I accept. I am willing to tell all 1 want to tell the whole truth, but to be asked to sign a waiver of immuni- ty carries with it a suggestion of wrong doing, I do not desire im- munity and I will gladly testify.” Ledyard mado a statement saying he wanted to deny much of the tes- timony of Mr. Mellen and protesting against the hearing being closed without his testimony being taken. He read a letter of May 23 to Com- miastoner McChord, in which he said: e testimony of Mr. Mellen is at variance with my recollections in a number of particulars, and I think a very partial and inaccurate im- pression of the affairs of the com- pany would be given unless other witnesses having knowledge of the matters under inquiry are afforded an opportunity to state with the same freedom that he has done their knowledge of the same matters con- HOTTEST DAY SO FAR; TEMPERATURE GOES UP T0 90 DEGREES Throngs Rush to Coney Island and Other Nearby Sea- side Resorts.

Coney Island and other seaside re- sorts were thronged with panting suf- ferers and the bathing houses enjoyed their first big day of the year. The water was as warm as it ia generally in July, and many a fine coat of sun- burn was accumulated along the beaches, The hottest places in New York were the boiler rooms of power houses, factories and skyscrapers. The next hottest place was the sub- way. The humidity sunk itself into the underground transportation tube and remained there. To those who took carly uptown crowded express trains this afternoon it appeared that the atmosphere in the cars and on the platforms was boiling, The sale of straw hats, summer underwear and ice cream soda on this day broke all records for May 26. Likewise were records broken in the vending of beer, rickeys and high- balls, And there is more hot weather to come, Mercury Up to 92 in Boston.

In getting started for Hamburg on first round trip the Vaterland had on through some nerve trying ex- riences, The chief untoward incident atten- ding ber departure came to pasa just after she had backed out of her Ho- boken dock, Instead of stopping in midstream, heading down and pro- ceeding placidly out to sea the gi- antic Vaterland kept right on back- ing across the river, dragging a score [of tugs along, Closer and closer to the Manhattan shore moved the mountainous mi of ateel until it seemed to observers that the Vaterland had in contem- plation a trip right across Manhattan Island. She was stopped before she struck shore, but waa so close t her stern invaded a steamship slip, tore two Morgan line freighters from their moorings, sunk two coal barges and damaged the end of Plier 60, North River. The little excursion of the Vaterland to Manhattan, where she didn’t belong, will coat the Hamburg - American line about $26,000, Down in the lower bay the Vater- land ran into a haze that was heav- fest just above the surface of the water. From the towering bridge of the ship the pilot, at a point off Swin- burne Island, found that he was un- able to pick up the buoys marking Ambrose Channel. SOME OBSERVERS THOUGHT SHE WAS AGROUND. The vessel was stopped for three or four minutes until the pilot was able to get his bearings. Observers ashore thought the Vaterland had gone aground on a shoal, and go telephoned to the offices of the line, but the big vessel was under way again in five minutes, Although New York has become fa- miliar with the great trans-Atlantic ships and the Vateriand was viewed by many thousands on her arrival last Thursday, there was still enough Interest in the largest ship in the world to cause crowds to collect all along the North River front and at the Battery to see her depart to- day. The pler in Hoboken accommo- dated the largest crowd evor see: the departure of a Hamburg Amert-| can liner, and the jam on the gang. planks when it became imperativ. that those not sailing should go ashore was terrific.
