! United Press Dispatch
Vera Cruz, Mexico, May'22.—
;Berysty^ known as “Mexico

j most popular actor of the Re

Roosevelt Prevented New Haven
Deal.
, United Press Service,
j Washington, D. C., May 2D—
iCoi. Theodore Roosevelt while
President of the United States,
in 1907, personally interfered
with the deal whereby the New
Haven attempted to dispose of
its steamship lines to Charles
W. Morse, according to testi
mony today before the Inter
state Commerce Commission by
Mellen.
At the President’s request he
said that he refused to sell the
lines for twenty millions.
Becker Case To Jury Tomorrow.
United Press Dispatch.
New York, May 21.—The case
against Police Lieutenant Chas.
Becker will go to the jury to
morrow at noon.
After a few minutes of testi
mony both sides rested until
11:17 this morning. Justice
Seabury after warning the jur
ors ,adjourned until two o’clock
this afternoon, when Manton,
rViio-f /»r>nnaol fnv Tinker* will
start summing up the evidence.
It is expected that he will con
sume most of this afternoon in
making his argument.
Whitman will begin to sum up
for the state at 8 o’clock tonight
and continue until he has re
viewed the contention of the
prosecution.
The court’s charge to the jury
will begin tomorrow as soon as
I court convenes.
Ex-President Mellen’s testi
mony explained ifor the first
time why Charles W. Morse
failed to get an absolute monop
oly of the Atlantic Coastwise
shipping trade. Mellen told
President Roosevelt that if he
did not sell then that he might
‘have to sell later and at a much
lower figure, for he feared that
the government was about to
prohibit railroads from owning
competing steamship lines.
Roosevelt promised according
to Mellen that if the New Hav- ,
en turned down Morse his roact
would not be interfered with sd *
long as he (Roosevelt) were
President, and the law remain
ed unchanged.
When Attorney General Bona
parte filed the Sherman law e
quity suit late in 1907, there was
no mention of a steamship mon
opoly.
Mellen said he did not know
whether the steamship lines
were left out of the proceedings
because of Roosevelt’s promise
but believed that such was the
case. Other chief incidents of
today’s story was the bold de*
duration that government own
ership of railroads was certain
to come, and also that if Morgan
had lived dividends upon the
New Haven stock would still be
! paid.
