New York, Feb. 25.-The joint legis-
| lative committee resumed its investi-
cation this morning, taking up the
coal trust, with President Samuel
Sloan, of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railroad, as the first wit
ness.
President Sloan said a meeting of
the presidents of the various coal
roads was held last year, for the pur-
pose of deciding the question of
handling coal and an agreement was
| made as TO the percentage of the coal
the roads represented were to carry.
President Thomas, of the Erie rail-
road, was next sworn. He said he
was at the conference of the presi-
dents of the various coal carriers last
year. and the Erie received a 4 per
cent allotment.
Senator Lexow then read the various
allotments, and the witness admitted
that they were correct. He said his
company did not live up to the agree
ment
Witness had no knowledge of meet
ings of the sales agents.
Mr.. LeXow ordered subpoenas to be
issued for the agents. Witness said
he was not aware that the price of
coal was increased 81 per ton since
the conference. He said, to the great
astonishment of the members of the
committee, that he did not know the
present price of coal.
REFERRING TO SUGAR.
Francis H Krenning, of ST. Louis,
a wholesale grocer, said he refused
to sign a factors agreement with the
American Sugar Refining company,
and that he had consequently to pay
more for sugar than those who had a
factors agreement.
Witness said that the American
Sugar Refining company had at
tempted to exclude the Louisiana
From the testimony of the witness, it
was developed that the American
Sugar Refining company, during the
grinding season, during which the
southern crop of the country is being
produced, lowered the price of sugar
in st. Louis and Immediately after
the grinding season caused the price
of its product TO be increased.
Clinton w. Wisner, of Walden, n.
Y. vice-president of the Stevens Coal
company, testified that his company
sold coal to the Lehigh Valley Rail
road company. and that it received 60
per cent of what the product brought
at tidewater, and that the remainder
was paid to the railroad company.
witness SAD the price or stove coal
per ton at tidewater was 1887 and,
therefore. his company received 1922
for ton and the railroad company
s1.55.
John B. Dickerson, sales agent for
the New York, Ontario & Western
Railroad company, said that the sales
agents had nothing to do with fixing
the price of coal and declared that
the law of supply and demand alone
fixed il.
Sales Agent Heilner, of the Lehigh
& Wilkesbarre Coal company, was
next examined. His testimony was
unimportant. At its conclusion Mr.
Lexow announced that the commit
tee had concluded its investigation,
unless it was found necessary to meet
again. An executive session was held
by the committee after the proceed
ings closed.
WANTS AN EXTENSION.
Chairman Lexow, at its termination,
said: I'VE are going to apply to the

taken being so large and the import
ance of the subject so great, for an

HOW ARIZONA LEGISLATORS
FEEL.

Members of the Arizona legislature,
interviewed on the subject, express
generally their opposition to the ces-
sion, basing their opposition upon the
ground that the great Colorado can
yon would then cease to be wholly
within Arizona. Several, however,
stated that they would not be unfav-
orable to the scheme if Utah were will
ing to pay a substantial cash consid-
Grafton into the treasury of Arizona.
The Utah commissioners appeared
today before the legislature and pre-
scented their credentials. a short adj
dress in favor of the proposed Annex-
alton of the Grand canyon region was
made by Commissioner Lund. after
which a joint committee of eight was
authorized to confer with the Utah del
egates on the subject

THE ONLY SETTLEMENT

is scarce and ranches are far apart.
THE ONLY SETTLEMENT.
In Kanah Wash, through which flows
one of the few tributaries of the Colo
RADIO within Arizona, is a Mormon set
tlement of % families, favored with a
postoffice and rejoicing in the only
school district and the only justice OF
the peace in the isolated region. This
settlement, known as Fredonia, is only
three miles from the Utah line. Near
here is the only farming district, en-
bracing several hundred acres of al
falfa, fruit, ETC., farmed after the usual
Mormon methods. No mines are
worked, though Indians sometimes
bring out from the canyons depths
specimens of rich gold and copper
ores. and John D. Lee of Mountain
Meadow infamv, is known to have
found, when he was in hiding in the
town below Lees ferry, a large guam
tity of coarse gold.
NOT OFTEN VISITED.
The country sought to be added to
Utah is wholly within the counties or
Coconino and Mohave and is visited by
one OF the officials of either county
perhaps once a year. The assessment is
done by a deputy and the taxes are
paid promptly, though the people have
never awaited themselves VI TIE pAlN-
ilege of voting for Arizona officials,
and get no protection whatever from
the Arizona laws. To arrest and try
a criminal in the northern part of
either county would entail an expense
of at least $1,000, however simple the
offense.
The two commissioners appointed on
behalf of Utah are Robert c. Lund
and Edwin D. Woolley, respectively of
St. George and Kanah, southern Utah.
The former is the chairman of the
Utah board of equalization and has
several times been a member of the
legislature.
Their mission, as they outline it, is
to get from the Arizona legislature an
Endorsement of a bill introduced in
congress for the cession sought by
Utah. This they hope to get, though
they appear to believe congress in any
event will grant their prayer. They
state that the region is very no
man's-land, in which cattle and horse
thieves find safety. 1t is not DoDu-
lous enough to be made into a separate
county, and will, if added to Utah, be
made part of the counties of Kane and
Washington.
