The Senate subcommittee charged with
investigating the coal situation con
cludes its labors today
The hearing before Senator Stewart
and the other members this afternoon
took the form OF an experience meet
ing In response to the announcement
that the committee would be pleased
to listen to any grievances that the
public at large might have. the com
mittee room was well filled when the
hearing began at . o'clock
It was evident from the start that
whatever the conditions may have been
in the past, they are rapidly improy-
ing, and that little difficulty is now ex-
perieneed by most people in securing
sufficient coal to meet their needs All
OF it IS not sold at the cheap Reading
prices, but even the premium coal OF
the Independent operators is not com
manding the prices which prevailed
few weeks ago.

Many of those before the com
mittee were OF the opinion that if ths
Senate committee abandoned its inyes-
tigation al the present time that the
old conditions would soon reassert them
selves and that distress would be sure

by the members of the committee. who
believe that the worst is over. While

With the improved conditions and the
greater ease with which coal Is secured

in the proceedings of the coal strike

meeting yesterday there we're but
eighteen spectators present. and six out

Baer's Denial
President George F. Baer, Of the Read

ment that large quantities Of coal is
held up on his road. He asserted that
not only was al coal moving promptly.
but that there was no shortage Of cars
on the system Yesterdays car reports
showed that there were 3. 900 on the line
in excess OF the demand
Interest now seems centered in the
outcome Of the indictments returned
yesterday by the Chicago grand jury
against forty-fve coal operators and re-
taiIers, charging them with conspiracy
to do an Illegal act. injurious 70 public
trade. The securing OF 10000 tons OF

waukee February 10, 10 sell at 50 a ton,
has also attracted the attention OF the
local advocates Of coal importations,
who can see no reason why Washington
should not have imported quantities OF
this coal months ago.

tiuued satisfactory. and there is everv
indication that a sufficient surplus viii

City Real Estate by
Statute.

ALBANY. n. Y. Jan 20-The special

by the appellate division Of the supreme
court of ->he third department
The decision is in the case OF the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
against the valuation put upon its spe-
ciaI franchises By the State tax com
mission.
This litigation was commenced before
Supreme Court Justice Hefrick, by the
big New York city corporations. He aD-
pointed the late chief judge of the
court of appeals. Robert Earl, Of Her
kimer. as a referee to pass upon the
question.

One Billion Affected.

The total assessments in the State
anected by this decision approximate
$500 .o00. .00o, and as three years taxes
are ns@ due. the total valuations af-
fected exceed $1,000, 600 900. The tax
which the State has at stake is upward
Of 500, ,000 600.
The chief counsel for the corporation
was David 3. Hill, who argued that as
SCISSORS Of real estate under the State
constitution must be appointed by the
people Of the locality; consequently, the
appointment Of a State board to value
local real estate or special franchises.

Referee Earl's Decision.

Referee Earl declared the law to be
workable and constitutional In all re-
spects. The only thing he found in favor
of the corporations was that the as
sessments. instead OF at full value,
should be at that percentage Of full
value as other real estate in the same
locality is assessed.
Justice Herrick affirmed Referee EarI's
report pro forma so an immediate ap-
peal could be taken to the appellate
division. This appeal was argued there
in December last, and today the appel
late division handed down its decision
reversing the order of Justice Herrick,
which approved Judge EarI's report, and
vacating the assessment.
This litigation involves the proceed
ing of forty seven distinct companies,
and embraces all the street railway,
gas, and electric companies of the city
Of New York. The total assessments
on their properties amount to about
SI37. .000. 600.
