 SOUTHERN CHARTER
Old M. 6 0. Controversy in
 Mississippi at Last Settled.
NO LEGAL COMPETITION
Attorney General, After investigation, Decides That Southern Has Le- gal Right to Acquire Title
 and Build Branch Lines.

Jackson. Miss, October IA chaaer of incorporation of "The Southern Railway company in Mississippi" was approved by Governor Bongino today, and this set ties the controversy as to the legality of the merger of the Mobile and Ohio and Southern interests in this state.
 The charter permits the Southern to acquire title to the Mobile and Ohio. to build branch lines and to operate the Memphis and Charleston.
 E. L. Russell, general counsel for the Mobile and Ohio railroad, who was here today arranging for the incorporation, gave out the following official statement:
 More than a year and half ago the Southern Railway company purchased over 90 per cent of the capital stock of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad company It was claimed at the time by the railroad commission and other officers of the state that such purchase violated the state constitution, and at the same time violated the statute which prohibits one railroad company from controlling and operating the railroad of another com pany which was competing for the same business in the same territory. The attor- ney general made thorough lnVeStiBa- tion of this question and found as fact that there never had been any legal com petition between the lines of the two rail- roads, neither within nor without the state. Thereupon it was suggested by the attorney general that if the purchase of the stock by the Southern Railway com pany violated the constitution this could be avoided by the Southern becoming in- corporated in the state. and thereby sub hitting itself and it's property to the jur- isdiction of the state government and it's courts. This proposition was submitted to the management of the Southern railway, and after due consideration 1t was de- eided that in order to be at peace with the state and her officials that the com pany would become domesticated as Mississippi corporation. The papers were all prepared and submitted to the attor- ney general, and after he had made cer- tain changes the governor issued a proclamation authorizing such appli- cants to proceed to organize as a Missis- sippi corporation"

ATLANTA WATER WORKS
 PAY CITY A PROFIT
Mayor Livingston Mims Answers 2 Question as to the Water
 Service of Atlanta.

John ". Tomlinson. attorney for the Board of Trade, received telegram from Mayor Livingston Mims yesterday stat Ing that the Atlanta water works do not cost the city a cent, but are paying handsome profit. The telegram was in answer to a special delivery letter sent Mayor Mims asking the status of the Atlanta water works the facts to be used in the fight being made by the Board of Trade against the water rates in Bir- mingham.
 Following are copies of the letter and telegram:
 Mayor of Atlanta:
 Dear Sir--It was stated here today in a meeting regarding the water rates of this city that Atlanta. Ga, loses $i80 900 per annum by furnishing water at your present rates. If it is a fact that your city does not lose anything in furnishing water at present rate please wire at our expense tomorrow without fail.
 Yours very truly.
 ROY McCALLOUGH,
 Secretary Board of Trade. Roy Mccullough, Secretary, etc.:
 Letter just received. Report absolutely false. Department pays handsomely
 LIVINGSTON MINIS, Mayor. According to the figures obtained by the Board of Trade. the water rates of Birmingham are 30 cents per 1000 gallons. while in Atlanta the rate is 10 cents per 1000 gallons. Members of the Board Of Trade say this is in large measure due to the fact that Atlanta has municipal ownership and that the Birmingham wa- ter works are in the hands of private corporation.

COAL SITUATION IN
 N. Y. IS WORSE
STARTLING DEVELOPMENT PROM. lSES IN THE GRAVE ROBBERY SENSATION WHICH HAS STIR. RED INDIANAPOLIS.

New York. October 1.-The coal sltua- tion In New York is no better today, and must be described as worse on account of the increasing fear that relief may not come before much suffering has resulted The supply of hard coal in the tenement districts is now at such a low ebb that dealers are charging their customers trifie over 1 cent pound for this ar ticle.
 Owners of flats and office buildings are in a state bordering on panic. A number today said that they were unable to get more than ton of coal at a time, and in one case $25 was asked.
 The gar companies are beginning to re fuse more contracts owing to the great demand for gas as a fuel, and it is as- serted that the supply of oil stoves can not begin to fill the orders received within the last two months.
 The scarcity of coal is becoming a se- rious matter on Staten Island. Four yards closed yesterday, having exhausted their supply. Scores of women and children may be seen all day collecting driftwood that floats down the bay.

Interference With Judiciary.

We arraign the administrations, both national and state, for their attempted interference with the independence of the judiciary. The national administration has traded national and state judgeships for partisan advantages.
 The state administration has attempted to secure to itself the control or the of supreme court justices who are in districts other than their own. un- dertaking thereby to pervert purely ju- dicial function into a scheme for partisan and personal favoritism.

SUGAR FREIGHT
PROFITABLE

OAKLAND, Cal, October 4.-The
Hawaiian sugar season has come to Il
close The big oil-burning steamer
Enterprise, with a cargo OF 1900 bags
of sugar, has arrived from Honolulu
and is discharging at Long Wharf
This is the last regular cargo fer the
year. The season has been very
profitable one for the Southern Pacific,
The increase in traffic over last year
is about forty per cent The season
which will open next year is looked
forward to as promising To- be the
greatest in the history OF the islands.
The islands have had an ample sup
ply of rain and plantations which were
idle heretofore are growing full crops.
II is estimated the imports from Ha-
waii the coming season viii be double
the imports of this year The feature
OF the sugar this year was the intro
duction of oil as iuel ON the sugar
steamers. The Ents-Drlse has made
three trips to Honolulu and return
with oil as the only fuel. The sue
cess OF the experiment has been prov
ed beyond question. Oil Is easier "a
handle, takes up less room and Is by
far more convenient ami less dirty
Several new oil-burnmg steamers will
be put on the run when the next sea
| son opens.

PERSnlNG ROUfS
HOSTILE MOROS

MANILA, October captain John
J. Pershing's column has completely
routed the Macin Moros in the island
OF Mindanao. killing or wounding a
hundred of them and capturing and
destroying forty forts. Two Ameri-
cans were wounded.
On Tuesday the Moros retired to
their largest and strongest fort on the
lake shore, and Wednesday Captain
Pershing attacked them with artillery,
bombarding the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieutenant boring, leading a
squad of men. attempted to set fire to
the fort. He crept under the walls and
started a blaze. but the MOrOs dis
covered him and forced the Americans
to retreat.
During the afternoon the sultan of
Cabugalan led a sortie at the head Of
band of fanatics armed with krises.
They crept through the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Amerl
cans. The sultan was wounded six
times and boloed an American before
he died. His followers were killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night
Captain Pershing took his batteries
NIlulH Il HuHultu SdI 10 vi iHt lOllt
closed in his infantry lines and re-
sumed the attack. The Moros broke
through twice and attempted to escape
by the beach but were discovered and
many of them were killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
on Thursday, after fifteen hours bonn
bardment and Thursday Cap
tain Persh.ng destroyed the rest of the
forts and returned to Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect of the
Moros will be great. General Davis
has ordered that hostilties be stayed
in order to permit the sultan of Basa
lod and other hostile Sultans to make
peace.
The sultans of Maciu were confident
Of their ability to defeat the Ameri-
cans and vowed before the fight to
enter slavery voluntarily if they
themselves were defeated.
General Davis has sent General
Sumner. in command of the American
forces in Mindanao, a congratulatory
telegram on the success of Captain
Pershing and the small American loss.
