GETS A THOUSAND DOLLARS
EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK.
Representative Conne1Ys Strange
Contract With Scranton Coal Co.
He Can't s"Go Broke"

WASHINGTON, D. c.. September 10
(SFeciai)-.When the Coal Trust was or
ganized about two years ago, a most pc
cliliar agreement was made between the
Scranton Coal Company, one of the sub
sdiary corporations, and Representative
Connell, who, until he was compelled to
sell to the trust under pain of being
forced out of business altogether, was the
la1ges individual operator in the hard
coal field. Instead of selling his holdings
outright or taking stock in the corpora
ton to which he transferred them, Mr..
Cornell made bargain to receive 81 900
for each day Of the year for ten years.
The money that falls due Sundays and
holidays Is to be paid the day before
Every day since the strike began the
aged Congressman has received his check
With unfailing regularity. Mr.. Cornell
is nearly IS years old. There is no posi-
bility of his going "broke" at any time
during the remainder of his life. When
asked Why he had made such peculiar
offer. ne said that he had two reasons.
The first was that if he were to receive
lump sum he would not know where to
invest 1t, and the second was that he
was glad to make an arrangement where
by he would be assured Of comfortable
income. Besides If quo warranto pro-
ceedings were taken to annul the trust.
Nj. Cornell could take back his property.
as under the agreement the property is
merely leased and the title does not pass
until the ten years have expired.
