Anthracite coal properties received
ON additional blow yesterday when the
fact became known that the Appellate
Division of the Third Department at
Albany had handed down a decision in
the Delaware Valley and Kingston
railroad case sustaining the state rail-
road commissioners and permitting the
construction of the independent coal
road from tidewater at Kingston, N.
Y, along the abandoned bed Of the
Delaware and Hudson canal to the
Pennsylvania line" says the New York
Herald.
"Arrayed against the project, which
is backed by the Pennsylvania Coal
company and all the independent coal
operators, was the vast wealth and
political influence of the anthracite
coal trust. headed by J. p. Morgan d
Co., and participated in by every am
thracite coal road in the country. The
New York, ontario and Western rail-
road and the Erie railroad were the
ostensible fighters of the proposition,
but all the anthracite coal 'barons'
were back of the contest, and the pro-
ject has been fought at every available
point.
THE original application before the
commission was actively opposed by
the Erie. New York. Ontario and West
ern and other anthracite coal roads,
and a great amount of evidence was
taken bearing on the question rs to
whether the proposed road was re-
qured in the public interest The new
company was represented by Thomas
G. Shearman and John \. Carver.
while Frank II. Platt. David Wilcox,
John B. Kerr. William F. Dunnlng ana
Herbert +. Kinney appeared for the
opposing roads.
The railroad commission found In
favor Of the company and granted Il
certificate so stating. Later the oppos-
ing roads obtained a writ of Certiorarl
10 review the decision of the commits
Sioners, which was argued in June.
The decision of the court sustains the
finding of fact by the commissioners
that the road will /arve public con-
Venience and the unanimous affirma-
tion by the appellate division makes il
impossible to carry the question to the
Court of Appeals.
In addition to attempting to defeat
