Warren Chase ho. dtucribed himself aa a "business man and lawyer of Hartford," riaF ly refused to answer certain questions put to him yesterday 1 at Interstate commerce commission's inquiry into the affairs of the New Haven railroad.' The questions had to do with Chase's connection with the Pacific company, concern which he said formed at the instance of E. D. Kobbons and Captain Goodall of San Francisco. both extensively Interested, the witness-said, in steamship lines. "What was the Pacific tompaoy?' asked Solicitor Polk. ? . 'I formed the Pacific company at the Joint Instance of Mr. Robbing and Mr. Goodall." was Chase's only reply "What was Its capital?" " "1 don't remember." "What did the Pacific company do?" .. "I don't want to go Into that mat' ter." replied the witness. "I was act ing as attorney in a confidential ca paclty and feel that 1 ought not to. disclose information of that kind." "Did you handle any money for the Pacific company?" 'I refuse to answer, responded Chase, "and in addition- I don't re member. I refuse to answer any ques tion at all about the operations of the Pacific company." 'Are you willing to take the conse quences of your refusal?" asked Mr. Folk. 1 am." "Step aside, then," suggested Mr. Folk. "You are directed to answer these questions," interjected Commissioner McChord, In charge of the hearing. Voii understand that?" "Yes sir," replied Chase. Counsel Crlm, representing Charles S.- Mellen, asked Chase . whether Mr. Mellen had anything to do wltlj the Metropolitan Steamship company, a concern whose 'organization Chase de scribed Wednesday or with the sale of Its securities. "T never heRrd of Mellen In the whole transaction," replied the wit ness, -t. ;. John L. Billard , Details His ' Connection; With ' New Haven Railroad. Washington, May 8, A detailed statement of transactions of the Bil lard company with the, New York, New HaVen and Hartford railroad, its officers and subsidiaries, was . made before - the interstate commerce com mission yesterday by Jnu. L.' Billard, who organized the' concern. 'He out lined the method by which, with the aid of Charles 8. Mellen, then presi dent of the .New' Haven, and a loan from the New ' England Navigation company, a New Haven subsidiary, he took over the stock of the Boston and Maine railroad owned by- the New Haven, which the Massachusetts courts decided the New Haven could not hold, After holding the stock for a year, Billard said, he re-sold it to the Boston Railroad Holding company another New Haven subsidiary, at a profit of $25 a share on 109,948 shares. In payment for the stock he said he 'took 1, 250,000 in gold notes of the New England Investment and Security company, a New Haven con cern, and the Billard company was formed to handle ' this - transaction. Billard put $2,000,000 Into the Billard company, he said, and gold to it the New England -Investment company's notes, receiving the $2,000,000 pash and 814,250,000 in Billard company notes In payment. These Blllal-d notes, In accordance with an arrangement with Mr. Mellen, he said, were bought by the New England Navigation com pany, ' J. E. Hart of Yorksvllle, S. C , secre tary of the association, acted in his official capacity. The proposition be fore the meeting was curtailment of one-half or one-third. After general discussion the latter was decided upon. The cause assigned by some as to the action of the association is that there la no demand for hand yarns in the Northern markets. . Others say they can not account for tha Inactivity in the hard yarn market at present. ' The meeting was executive. Only the essential result of the meeting viz: the decision to curtail activities one-third has been given out. A tabulated statement is to be issued, it la said, later, by the secretary stating the number of spin dles to be. affected by the agreement of to day, together with the amount of goods that will be kept off the mar ket. .The curtailment agreed upon Is to be effective for four months, May, June, July and August. By curtail ment it is hoped to redeem the mar ket demand and valuation.' It wtll take some time to tabulate and ap portion the curtailment order among the various mills represented in the association, ' the order requiring the stopping of a given number of spin dies in each mill.- EXCELLENT RECORDS OF Bellinger Had Flying Boat in V Air Five Minutes After Vessel Anchored.
