CANNOT BUY COAL.
A Chicago Dealer Boycotted for
Cutting Prices.
Evidence. of Conspiracy Accumulated
by Special Grand Jury - Dealers
Delay Coal and Plead Rough
weather as an Excuse
for Its Shortage.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE most tangi-
BILE evidence secured by the special
grand jury in the coal shortage in-
quiry up to the present time is that
which relates to an alleged agree
ment drawn in March last year, and
which is said to govern a dozen mine
operators in the Clinton, Ind, dis
trict, with Walter S. Boyle and the
Crescent Coal and Mining Co. as the
Chicago factor. 1t is charged in the
evidence presented that Mr.. Boyle APP
pears as president of one of the In
diana mining companies, making an
agreement with himself as president
of the Crescent Coal and Mining Co.
1t is said that these mines were COM
PEELED to pool their outputs, to be dis
posed of by their Chicago factor.
w. II. Abrams, of the Building
Managers association, is said to have
given valuable information concern
ing the maintenance of n room by
the Coal Dealers association, where
secret conferences were held at reg
ular intervals prior to the starting Of
the present investigation. He also de-
clared that his association had found
in good weather and then pleaded
that they were unable to deliver in
rough weather.
Edward T. Bent, secretary-treas-
urtr of the Illinois Coal Operators
association, and man with many
other official titles, was questioned
again. He had with him books and
records belonging to the several or
ganizations with which he is con-
nected and which, it is believed, will
disclose much valuable information.
He maintained that the Illinois Coal
Operators association and the North
ern Illinois Soft Coal association were
simply organizations for the purpose
of transacting business with the mine
workers and that they had nothing to
do with prices or the extent of the
output.
Proof of how the large coal deal
, ers sought to compel the small dealer
to sell coal at the price quoted by the
alleged combine reached the jury
when Henry Peterson, one of the
small dealers, testified. According to
Peterson, he visited the offices of a
large coal company some time ago
and was given a price list. He had
been purchasing his coal from this
company and was instructed, he de-
clared, to sell the coal at $40 a ton.
He had number of customers whom
he knew could not afford to pay such
prices and he sold them the coal at
the cost price without deducting the
cost of hauling. AS a punishment Pc.
| terson claimed that the company re.
fused to sell him any more coal and
he has not been able to buy any since
from any of the other large dealers
because of word sent out that he
would not keep up the price.

Eastern Members OF National League
May Cause Another Baseball War.
Cincinnati, Jan. 14.-When the con-
ferees of the National and American
baseball leagues adjourned here last
saturday night, nothing was heard
but declarations of peace. President
Robson, of st. Louis. said that the
call for a meeting OF the National
League here next Monday was simply
to say amen" and then all rejoiced
over the proclamation of peace. The
spell was unbrollen until John r.
Brush was heard from regarding the
dissatisfaction of the New York club
On Sunday there were rumors from
the Brooklyn club, or Monday from
the Boston club and yesterday from
the Philadelphia club.
If the four eastern clubs should
hold out next Monday against the
Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and st.
Louis clubs, the result would be a
tie, which is said to he the same as a
negative vote. When it was an
nounced on Saturday night that the
agreement, then reached, was prac-
tically final, it was thought that Bar
ney Dreyfus was here representing
Philadelphia as well as Pittsburg, but
Col. Rogers and other Philadelphia
interests are represented now as say
ing Dreyfus had no power to bind
them.
August Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati National club, said yester-
day if the National league at it's
meeting next Monday did not ratify
the peace proposition he would get
out of the National league.
If New York, Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia and Boston should refuse to en-
ter into the agreement there may be
split in the National league, which
will result in the owners desiring
peace with the American league on
the basis agreed upon. joining hands

TAFT to Stay In the PhiIlpplne..

Washington, Jan. 14.-After ma
ture consideration, it has been de-
cided by the president that Judge
Taft shall remain in the Philippines
as civil governor. The decision was
reached only after the president had
discussed the Philippine question
thoroughly with his cabinet, and with
Vice Governor Wright, who has been
in this country for two months. For
several weeks it has been regarded as
settled that Gov. Taft would return
to this country, perhaps in few
months, to become justice of the
United States supreme court.
