The merging of local coal mining COM
panies under a common head 70 be
known as the Temple Iron company
York Evening Post of Last night
THE union of the Scranton coal COM
panies is believed to have been eff
fected though deposits of their stock
with the Guaranty Trust company of
this 'ity. The purchase of these COM
panies is part of a comprehensive plan
for control of the anthracite output,
and while It is said that no more inde-
pendent collieries are at present the
subject of negotiations, yet it is to he
taken as assured that the Scranton
mines were first taken under control
because of the dangerous proportions
which the proposed Independent an
thracite line had assumed and that
others will be taken in If the pro-
jectors Of the plan for uniting the an
thracite output see any endargering
Of their plans for maintaining prices
on a profitable basis:
Negotiations are known to be in
progress with operators in other dis
tricts. The much improved demand
for anthracite and the advance in the
prices makes it possible for coal roads
which own a large proportion of their
collieries to get the benefit of the inn
proved situation. II independent oper-
alton could come in and cut prices
some of the railways might feel COM
PEELED to meet the cut ard then there
would be no profit for anybody in the
industry,

worse, he had Igo write a letter for
him to his sister in Shamokin, stating
where he was and in what condition.
He told Igo that he was not in any

MORGAN'S VISIT.

The visit of J. p. Morgan to Eng
land has been taken as having bear
ing on the coal deal. 1t was stated to-
day by those in a position to know
that Mr.. Morgan's visit had no relation
to any such move nor is his return
to be made the occasion for any defin-
ite announcement of coal comblna-
ton. That is just what he and the an
thracite presidents wish to avoid.
THE presidents are notoriously timid
about bringing on legislative attacks,
and, while the members of many in
dustrial pools meet regularly in this
city the coal presidents always deny
that they ever meet formally. 1t is
nevertheless a fact that all anthracite
interests are now striving to regulate
the output and make the industry fair
ly profitable"
Following is part Of story sent out
from New York Tuesday night with
reference to monster coal combina-
ton:
THE return of j. Pierpont Morgan
from London on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse today closed another tri.
umphant chapter in this financier S
| career. He went abroad two months
ago to secure the assent of the Read
inG's English stockholders to q gigantic
scheme that the Vanderbilts, the Penn
| sylvania Railroad company, the New
| Jersey Central and the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western companies
| had formulated. This is nothing less
| than consolidation of all the great
| Eastern coal interests under one man
! aGement.
THE Readings vast network of Goa
properties was such an important fac.
| tor in the plan that the genius of Mr.
Morgan was almost exclusively devot.
| ed to bringing the Reading Coal and
| Iron company into line.

GOWENS CONSOLIDATION

when Franklin Il. Gowen in 1898
consolidated the railroad and the coal
companies and blanketed them with
one mortgage he rendered very diff
ficult any future separation of the two
interests. Assured of the support of
the Vanderbilt influence in the vat,oIs
coal roads they largely control, Mr.
Morgan was in a position to argue Sc
riously with the largest English share
holders, and, by sturdy. persistent of-
forts, he brought them to his way of
thinking.
THE cause Of this gigantic combina-
ton is due to the recent rate cutting,
for which Edward r. Holden, coal man.
ager of the Delaware, LackaWanna and
Western railroad, is chiefly responsible.
u. Pierpont Morgans visit abroad
was not generally supposed until today
to be concerned with anything affecting
the coal interests outside Reading and
its leased New Jersey Central mines
and rolling stock. When the full mag
nitude of the consolidation was realized
Wall street had a genuine sensation.
Primarily it is estimated that fully
$1,000 900 will be saved annually in OPP
Grating expenses. and the profits in
creased fully as much more by doing
away with all middle men, like Holden,
of the Lackawanna, and sales agents
of the other railroad lines.

yesterday that with the correct con-

In explaining the matter Mr.. Rogers
said his telegram in substance, as he
remembered the text, was intended to
express the idea that when the APP

Storm Bureau Threatens Agricultu-
raj College.
FEAR LOSS OF REVENUE
TANNER AND WILSON LIKELY
TO GO.
Former Told President Mccormick Of
the Board of Trustees of the Ag-
ricultural College Some Days Ago
That he Would Resign Father
Than Cause Any Unpleasantness.

The storm bureau wave now threat
ems to engulf the Agricultural college
at Logan 1t is stated that within a
short time President Tanner and Sec
rotary Wilson will hand in their res
ignations to the board of trustees.
The recent report from Washington
that the governmental appropriation
for the benefit of the college was likely
to be held up because there were poly
gamists in the faculty and on the board
of trustees has caused no little uneasi-
ness among the friends of the college.
President Tanner is one of those who
is accused of maintaining polyga-
nous relations. Secretary Wilson is
another
Mr.. Mccormick Talks.
w. S. Mccormick, president of the
board, discussed the matter freely
when asked about it yesterday. mo, y
he said, in answer to a question, Il
don't think it will be necessary for the
board to discharge anybody Some
time ago President Tanner came to me
and told me he had heard this man
Owen was talking about having him
on his list for prosecution.
Professor Tanner explained that he
did not want to put the board in an
awkward position. He told me he had
the welfare of the institution too much
at heart for that and he would resign
rather than be the cause of any I'M
pleasanfness. He is accused of having
more than one wife.
THE report may be true and it may
not be true. 1 am not prepared TO
speak as to that. 1 believe that Mr..
Tanner will resign if he finds that the
governmental appropriation is going to
be held up on his account. Mr.. Wilson
is also charged with being a polygam-
list and / presume he Will do as DIR.
Tanner proposes to do.
Praises the Officials.
1T would be extremely hard for the
college to get along without any ap-
preparation from the general govern
ment. In fact l don't think we could
do it. Professor Tanner and Mr.. Will
son are both good men and it would
be difficult to fill their places. They
have served the college we'll and faith
fully and the board has all confidence
in both of them.
THE board has not met since the
word came that the appropriation
might be held up. 1t is therefore i'm
done by the trustees in the event that
neither Professor Tanner of Mr.. Wilson
resigned. As 1 stated, however, / be-
lieve both will give up their positions
without question if they believe that
by remaining they would imperil the
welfare of the college"
Mr.. Mccormick expressed great regret
that the difficulty had arisen. He
hoped that it might be arranged in
some satisfactory way, but was unable
to offer a solution of the problem.
