A CASH REGISTER WAR.
National Officials Are Charged With Con-
spiracy and Arrested.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. THE sensation of
a decade in Pittsburg legal circles was
sprung to-day when the Halwood Cash
Register company of Columbus, o., enter
ed wholesale conspiracy charges against
the officials and agents of the National
Cash Register company of Dayton, o.
The Hallwood people in lengthy state
ment made before Alderman McMasters
accuse the National people of having con-
spired to ruin its business in this city. w.
M. Gill OF Pittsburg, local representative
OF the Halwood people. makes the
charges and the case is being handled by
Attorneys Clarence Burleigh and Dick
Scandrett.
Pittsburg Representative Myer n. ia
cobs of the National company was arrest
ed at the Monongahea house to-day and
gave bail of $500 for appearance in court.
Thomas Savage, who works for Jacobs,
was also arrested and gave bail, as did
John f. Morris, a local detective. In
formations awe also been issued and war
rants issued for the arrest of John Fl.
Patterson of Dayton, president of the Ma
tional company; James Fl. Crane. gen
eral manager, also at Dayton; D. E.
Perkins. agent of the company at Column
bus, and n. F, Thomas. agent of the Ma

1t is threatened by the plaintiffs that
the Ohio people will he eXtraulled if they
do not come peaceably. 1t was intended
to arrest them at a meeting of the Ma
tional agents held here to-day, but the
Ohio people for whom warrants were is
sued did not put in appearance.
The case promises to be very sensation
al. as not less than 60 business men are
said to have been subpoenaed by the
prosecution in the case.
Mr.. Jacobs was inclined to treat the
matter as a joke tonight.
Warrants have been sent to Philadel-
phia for the arrest of persons whose
names are not given out by the detective

Motor Car School.

From the Buffalo Express
Bicyclers are required. in many Ger
man cities, to obtain a license before
they can ride on the public streets; and
in order to get this license have to
pass an examination showing that they
can dismount at will and can alight
on either side or directly backward.
No one can question the utility of this
regulation, for it is a safeguard to BIZ
cyclers and pedestrians alike.
Even more curious is the Paris
school for drivers of motor cars. This
school is in the interest of the public,
like the German regulation described.
Motor cars are not yet as plentiful as
bicycles.
This Paris school for motor car
drivers is maintained by the Compa-
gnie Generate Des Voitures, which. ac-
cording to ILLUSTRATION, SIS actively
engaged in the construction of its new
hackney coaches and the education Of
its drivers The school is establish
ed at Aubervilliers, where a track
about 800 yards in circumference has
been laid out. Here it is a level mac
adam roadway; there it is a low slope
paved in stone; elsewhere the track
is paved unevenly with wood; in an
other place it Is asphalt, rougher yet
Here and there are splinters of glass,

other places there are ruts. All these
reefs and shoals, the helmsmen, former

cars science, NJ. Gourdon, directs them
But their apprenticeship does not
end here. Along the course are scat
tered figures of men and animals, and
through them the cars have to thread
their way in circling the track. And
these figures are not ordinary dummies
either. All the familiar figures of the
Partisan streets are reproduced; big
men smoking their pipes, newsboys
calling the newspapers, soldiers, nurs-
es with their caps, other nurses push

dogs, even "scorchers."
This is the French way of doing
things. 1t has it's advantages over
happy go-lucky American methods,
doesn't it?

Cashier of the Defunct Sedalia, Mo,
Bank Will Pay Dollar for Dollar.

Sedalia, Mo-, Jan. THE Evening
Sentinel prints a story about J. c. Thomp-
son. the fugitive cashier of the defunct
First National bank of Sedaia. who is
now resident of the City Of Mexico. The
Sentinel's informant, Mr.. Lyons, who is

him to call on his friends here and an
nounce that he intended to return to Sc
dalla in a short time, straighten out his
account and pay the depostors of the
wrecked bank dollar for dollar the amount
due them.
MIR. Lyons says Thompson is prospecting
and has extensive interests in mining

which promise in a short time to not only
retrieve his lost fortune but also to make
him a millionaire.
Attorney Lyons says that Thompson
will resign on Jan. l as the inspector for
the Mexican Central railway to accept
the position of cashier in the Mexican &;
London bank of the City of Mexico.
Thompson, Mr.. Lyons says, isFanxious to
right the wrongs he has committed, re-
ceive forgiveness, and eventually become

A COAL MINERS STRIKE

FOUR STATES INVOLVED

Ask for an Increase.

Cleveland, Jan. IA strike of the
declared April l. is practically assured.
This means that the country will Wit
ness one of the greatest coal strikes
in it's history One hundred Thousand
is the estimated number of men en-
ployed in the coal mines of the four
states. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Illinois.
The situation has resolved itself to
this proposition. which confrnnts both
operat ors and miners: The operators
declare they cannot maintain ths
present scale of wages, therefore they
will make reduction. AT the JOINT
convention of miners and opera tors
the miners declared the present scale
of wages is too loW. and they will de-
mand an increase at their annual con-
vention, Jan. u.
With the miners fighting for an ad-
vance and the operators for a reduc-
ton in the scale there is little pros
pect of an amicable agreement being
arrived at, said Il prominent Pitts
burg operator.
1T is the intention of the operators"

ma Coal company, Saturday, Ito re-
duce the mining scale of wages. The
operators cannot afford to maintain
the present rate. The miners want a
higher rate, and the operators claim
a reduction must be made. You can
readily see that the miners and opera
tors are far apart. There seems to be
little chance of getting together The
operators do not see how they can
maintain the present rate.
Coal is now being sold below cost.
The miners in this district, comprising
the four states mentioned, are we'll
paid if they could work full time. They
have done pretty well during the past
year. In fact they have made more
money than the operators.
The operators in this district pay
so much more for mining than the
operators in the West Virginia district
that they are not able to compete. We
lose business right along for the rea-
son that we cannot meet the compe-
tition.

1t is the whisky trust. So long as
whisky was free from the influence of
monopoly there was tradition in poll
tics that it was a Democratic drink.
Since the manufacture of whisky is
controlled by trust Democrats will
have to abjure it and look upon the
product of the still henceforth as one
of the blessings of Republicanism."
Commercial travellers complain that
this. like every ether trust. is cheap
enihg production by throwing thou
sands of men out of work while keep
ing up the price to the consumer. But
commercial travellers are forming a
prejudice against trusts of. every de-
scription and they hold the policies and

The whisky trust has just finished its
organization with capital of 1925. 000,-

In an interview printed recently. the
officials of the trust asserted that they
controlled about 50 per cent of the spirit
product of the country, and that one
purpose of the organization was to
confine the manufacture of whisky. as
far as possible, to Kentucky, and of
spirits to other sections of the country.
They defended the trust on the
ground that it would enable them to
give the consumer cheaper whisky and
to make it possible TO vastly increase
the export business. thus diffusing the
blessings of Republicanism to all the
world and putting it within the reach
of the poor.
