NEW HAVEN ROAD
HANDLED COURTS
As Well As Legislatures Is The
Testimony of Railroad’s
Former Head.
United Press Dispatch.
Washington, D. C., May 16.—
A part of the New Haven rail
road’s high finance and influence
with the courts through politic
ians, was indicated in the evi
dence disclosed by the Interstate
Commerce Commission today.
The New Haven railroad before
purchasing the controlling in
terest in the West Chester road,
demanded that the courts should
uphold the validity of the West
Chester’s franchise and this deal
according to Mellen, cost the
road more than a million for
stock worth ten cents a pound
Only three of the thirteen ar
ticles, which formed a part of
the New Haven’s demands were
made public. The company de
manded a new franchise for the
West Chester demanded that the
condemnation proceedings a
gainst the road be removed and
demanded that the court up
hold the renewed franchise.
Later developments in New
York county proved that the de
mands were granted according
to evidence in the possession of
the commission and the names
of several prominent men are in
volved.
How the judges were reached,
and franchise renewed, Solicitor
Folk expects to learn from for
mer President Mellen next week.
