Pierot and Toussaint l'Overture hav-
ing declared himself in favor of Gen
eral Firmin, the ex-minister of Hayti

upon the part of General Firmin
have been entered by the National

An engagement between the north

William Lee Lett Home Tuesday
and He Has Not Been Seen
Since.

VIII Lee, young man about thirty
years of age disappeared from sight
Tuesday evening and has not been
seen since. He made his home with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Aaron Lee,
at S01 north Walnut st rect, and they
are greatly worried over the matter
and at loss to account for his
going.
So far as they know he was in good
health and in contented frame OF
mind. The last trace they found of
him was that he ate supper Tuesday
evening at the Mills restaurant on the
north side, and diligent inquiry fails
to discover anyone who saw him later.
The parents do not think he would
willingly cause them worry and so feel
that he may have been foully dealt
with, but there is always the chance
that he thoughtlessly went of on a trip
and forgot to notify his family.

KNOX WILL INVESTIGATE
The Alleged Coal Trust Interests the
Attorney General.

Washington, May 14-Attorney
General Knox has been instructed to
investigate the alleged violations of
the antitrust law by the Anthracite
Coal Combination and associated
railroads. A tussle with j. Pierpont
Morgan and the Vanderbilts is in
volved in the proceeding. For two
weeks the attorney general has been
quietly at work through his agents
and had proceeded far enough to sub
NIT the question to the cabinet meet
ing yesterday for discussion. 1t is
admittedly ditficnlt to get at the facts
with regard to the alleged Coal trust,
necessary in order to makela case in
court. 1t is apparent that a combina
tion controls the output and j. p.
Morgan is the head of the combine.
Before anything can be done in court
proof OF violations of law must be a
hand.
Four railroad companies, operating
on the community of interest plan,
own many mines and dominate the
rest. The railroads are the Phila-
delphia Il Reading, a Morgan road;
the Pennsylvania, the Delaware &
Hudson Canal Company, Wander
bilt road, and the Lehigh Valley, a
Morgan road. Other roads associat-
ed with these but not holding coal
properties are the Delaware & Lacka-
wanna, a Vanderbilt road; the Interi-
or & Western road and the Erie, J.
J. Hill road; which means a Morgan
road. 1t is impossible to get infor-
nation as to the methods which have
been pursued by the attorney general,
just as his department preserved its
secret i'd the Beef trust affair until
called upon by Congress for a re-
port.
The fact that combination which
operated through the railroads con-
troiled the the coal situation has been
known for months. An independent
mine owner always found it impos-
sible to get his product TO market.
There would be vexatious delays in
getting cars. II at last cars we're
obtained they would get sideracked.

liable lesson and the operator with
Independent IDEAS was glad to work
in harmonp with the community of in
terest concerns. There is proof, too,
that all the methods which would
naturally follow a close organization
were resorted to. In every business
step which had to do with wages and
the concessions to employers there
was unity of action.

VESUVIUS WAKING UP
Lava is Flowing From the Crater
and Hot Cinders Are Coming Out

and Hot Cinders Are Coming Out
Paris, May 14.-A dispatch from
Naples to the Paris Journal says:
Mount Vesuvius shows signs of un-
usual activity. Lava is flowing from
the crater upon the Pompeii side,
while hot cinders are thrown up from
time to time.
A flow Of lava does not indicate an
eruption at Vesuvius. There is prac-
tically a continuous flow of molten
lava at the lava beds on the side Of
the crater. The stream dwiAdles
at times and increases without
any apparent reason to a mass OF red
hot melted rock twelve or fifteen feet
wide. This stream does not pour over
the side OF the crater, but issues from
a rift in the bottom Of the cone. After
flowing like slow moving river sew
eral hundred yards, it gradually
spreads itself over the already cooled
lava and hardens in fantastic shapes.
Vesuvius throws out dust and thick
smoke from time to time, but this is
not taken generally to be an indica-
tion OF an eruption.

found the clavicle was dislocated on
his left side. They gave the injury the
proper attention and it is hoped he

it played we'll last night, There ought

it has ninety-nine percent of the bands
