WON THE PALMA TROPHY.
Canadian Rifemen Score n Victory
Over the American Team in the
Match at Sea GIrt, ". J.

New York, Sept. 6.-The Canadian
and American ritiemen held long
session Thursday ON the state rifle
range at Sea Girt, y. j., in the con-
test for the American centennial Pal
ma trophy. emblematic of the worlds
championship, and the Canadians won
by margin of 2S points. The ut
most good fellowship prevailed during
the match, which was very close up to
| the last stage. Two of the members
Of the Ulster Rifle association, of Bel
| fast, Ireland-W. T. Braithwaite and
Thomas Robertson--acted as coaches
for the Dominion representatives and
| the Americans had Gen. B. w. Spencer
with some of his officers attending z
them in similar capacity. The con-
dftlons of the contest called for the
use of the national arm of the coun-
try represented by the team, so that
it was practically duel between the
American Krag and the English Lee
Enfield weapons.
The shooting done by at least one
of the Anne rican team was a revelation
TO their opponents. Many of the Ul-
ster men who saw it had nothing but
the highest praise for the exhibition
given by Lieut.. LeiZear, of Washing
tion, who made the highest collective
and best individual score in the
match, which was shot in three
stages, 500, 900 and 1000 yards.
Each of the teams of eight men had
Is shots at each of these distances,
beginning on the shortest range.
In the first stage the visiting team
led by n marrin of seven DOintS their
scores aggregating 532 as against 525
for the home team. On the 900 yards
ranges each team made 519 points,
the Canadians still leading by seven
points as they went back to the 1000
yard marks.
1t was nearly dusk when the final
scores-Canadian 1922, America 1494-
were put on the blackboard, and then
Gen. Spencer, gathering his men
about him. cheered the winners heart
lily. Maj. Mason, captain of the Cana
dian team, and his men responded
with three times three" The next
contest for the Palma trophy will
take place in Canada, iE accordance
with the rules governing the DISPOSE
ton of the prize.
The carbine team match was won
by the men from the First troop of
the national guard of New Jersey,
which is known as the Essex troop.
The special challenge match at 500,
900 and l, 900 yards between teams of
eight men each for the Ulster Rifle
associa ton, of Belfast, Ireland, and
the New Jersey Rifle association will
be the big attraction to-day.

Victoria, b. c., Sept 6.-Informa-
ton regarding the operations of the
German warship Cormorant, which
was recently sent to the Matthias
islands to punish the natives for the
massacre of Helv Mencker and three
or four others forming party of
German scientists, is received from

seven months ago, particulars of the
cruel manner in which they were
killed being published soon after.
The Cormorant when sent to inves-
tigate the affair met with strong op-
position. Her crew was compelled
to fight a pitched battle and the re-
suit was most disastrous. the natives

HUGE COAL TRUST.
Will Embrace the Soft Coal Mines
in Six States.
The J. p. Morgan Syndicate Is Said to
Plan Combine that VilI be the
Equal of tho United States
Steel Corporation In Point
of Magnitude.

Pittsburg, Sept. 4.-The Post says
All the bituminous coal mining COM
panies of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Illinois, West Virginia and Ken
tucky are to be consolidated into one
great corporation by the j. p. Nor
gan syndicate. The enormous pro-
portions of this corporation can hard
ly be realized. The fact that the
Pittsburg Coal Co., with its capital of
$64, 900, 900, and the Monongahela Riv-
er Consolidated Coal and Coke CO.,
with its capital of $3O,000,000, are to
be included in the greater consolida-
tion brings the matter strongly be-
fore Pittsburg coal operators.
The railroads are taking a keen in
terest in the project and owing to the
Morgan interests predominating in
that field. the consolidation is looked
upon as being unusually strong. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad Co. and west
ern roads under the Morgan infiu-
ence are associated, it is said, in the
great movement which promises to
rival in its Importance the recent or
ganiZa tion of the United States Steel
Corporation.
The Indiana fields and those in Illi-
nois are in form for the final move.
In Kentucky the plan is still in an
embryotic state, but a company has
been planned with a capital of $1O,-
100000 to take up all the coal mines
there. The West Virginia fields are
perhaps the most difficult to handle,
owing to their location and varied
Ia nitN- l.. -n.;I hn+ ta
moters have practically abandoned
the plan of including the Pocahontas
field in the general plan for the great
er trust.
Mr.. Bacon, one of the partners of
Mr.. Morgan, has been spending sew
eral weeks in West Virginia during
the past summer and early last
spring, getting options on much coal
property, and included in this was
much undevelOped coal land in that
state. The total holdings in that
state are said to be very large, and
aside from the Pocahontas fields and
that portion in the Flat Top region
embrace about all the available lands
and much that will be held in reserve
for years.
The completion of this great pro-
ject will mean the consolidation of
from 5000, 100000 to $500, 100000 of
invested capital This will represent
not only the undeveloped properties
in the six states, but also the actual
coal properties under development.
There are millions of acres of coal
lands that the trust will hold in re-
serve for future use, while its present
working properties will be sufficient
for a vast increase in the development
of the coal trade, not only in this
country but in South American coun-
tries and in Europe.

a FIGHT IN A JAIL.
James Howard Assaults Caleb Powers
with an Iron Ink stand.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 5.-James
Howard and ex-Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, convicted as Goebel
murder conspirators, quarrelled in
Jail here yesterday. Howard threw
a heavy inkstand at Powers, striking
him in the head. Powers was knocked
down and bled profusely. Howard's
new trial will begin here next Mon
day.
Powers was unconscious for 81 min
utes, and it was at first thought his
skull had been fractured, but DR.. De-
mare said late last night that he
could find no evidence of fracture.
He remained with the patient till u
late hour. Symptoms of concussion
developed and a slight paralysis of
the left arm and side appeared. DR..
Demare would not state how serious
he thought the wound might prove,
but intimated that he considered his
condition serious.
Col. j. X. Dixon, assistant adjutant
general under the administration of
eX-Gov Taylor, who had just returned
from eastern Kentucky, where he
collected considerable money for the
defense of both Powers and Howard,
was in the room with the men at the
time of the trouble.
A controversy between the two men
arose as to a division of the money.
Both grew angry and Howard seized
an iron inkstand and hurled it at
Powers with terrinc force. Powers
was struck on the side of the head.
\ branch of the temple artery was
severed and a cash of four inches laid
open.
Both men have been in Jail more
than year and apparently have been
ing to Col. Dixon afterward, eX-
pressed deep regret that the affair
had occurred.

KILLED AT A CROSSING.
Two Women, One the Wife of n COn-

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. Airs. S. s.
Barney, of West Bend, wife of Con-
gressman S. S. Barney, of the Fifth
district, and Mrs. w. H. Ramsey, sr,
of Port Washington, wife of former

by a Northwestern train yesterday,
one mile south of Port Washington
station. They were driving across
the track and the train struck them.
For over two hours the remains
laid at the station at Port Washing
ton where they were taken by the
train which struck them, no one
being able to identify them. Their
identification proved tragic affair.
After many had viewed the remains,
w. II. Ramsey, jr., who was about to
take train from Port Washington,
was asked to see if he could recognize
the bodies.
Mr.. Ramsey picked up the covering
upon the body of Mrs. Barney but
the remains were so mangled he
could not make out the fea atures. He
lifted the cover from the other body
and fell back trembling with blanched
face. He had looked upon the dead
face of his mother.

Under Texas laws the brothers and
sisters of deceased would inherit d part
of the estate and they contended that
they owned d portion of the turquoise
stones.
Today the jury decided in favor of
plaintiffs contention that De MeUleS's
home was at Ell .Paso. Texas.

He had been so busy with the Cincin-

He would take the matter up with
