OHIO SUES COAL COMPANIES.
Quo Warranto Proceedings Againa Siw EEAnsrnn ss ERnssr rn

Quo WGrranto Proceedings Against
 SIX Firms Begun.
 COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 15.-The quiet investigation that Governor Nash has been making of the coal situation for several days ripened into fruit late yes terday when Attorney General Sheets filed in the supreme court at the insti- gation of the governor quo warranto suits against six big coal companies to oust them from their charters.
 The companies against which suits are brought are the New Pittsburg Coal company, the Sunday Creek Coal company, the General Hooking Fuel company, the Congo Coal company, the Interstate Coal co2pany and the Heck ing Coal and Iron company.
 No railroad company is implicated in the cases nor are any suits brought against any such company. Judge Sheets said that he had carefully in- quired into the situation and was sure that no railroad company was in the combination.
 1t is charged in the petitions that these companies have entered into a conspiracy to limit the output of coal and to increase and generally control the prices. It is further charged that they have discriminated in favor of Co- lumbus and against other cities of the state, selling coal at about $1.25 ton cheaper here than elsewhere
 The suits are brought under the Val entine antitrust act.

NO PANAMA CANAL.
Announcement of Failure of- Negotia-
 tions Expected.

Announcement of Failure of- Negotia-
 tions Expected.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-To the Go lombdan proposal to refer to The Hague the question of the amount of rental to be paid by the United States for the Panama canal, already an nounced, is alss added the willingness to refer this matter to any arbitration commission of international standing. The unwiNingness of this country to agree to any proposition which might afford lesphele for future controver- sy and the growing impatience at the protraction of the negotiations tend to encourage the belief that the president will presently be forced to announce to congress the failure of negotiations.
 The state department in explaining the impossibility of granting Colena- bias demand for an annuity of SS50,- 900 points cut that this sum if capital ized represents the interest on nearly S22, ,6o9 600. If to this is added the SAG, 600, eco te be paid the Panama Ga nal company and the SIG, eco, ,00o bonus to go to Colombia, the amount is about $To, 1000, GOO, but as the canal connGis- sion has declared that the Panama works were not worth $9o, 900; ;060, in- cluding the franchise, the state depart ment regards this as coming too close to the comnaission's figure and likely to be rejected by congress.
 Anether serious blow to the prospects of the canal coRaes in the announce ment that Senor Concha, the Colombi- an minister, who strenuously opposed the various concessions finally written into the proposed treaty, has reached RogOta and is in consultation with President Marroquin and the Celombi- an cabinet.
 The offer of the United States, as was announced at that time, consisted of $1O,000,0O0 in cash and an annuity of $1O0, GOO to begin ten years after the ratification of the treaty. At the same time Secretary Hay informed Minister Hart of the exact situation in regard to the negotiations.
 The fact is becoming painfully evil . dent that the future canal so far as the Panama route is concerned is almost hopeless.

 In sentencing two Italian women yesterday to pay fines of $5 and costs each for stealing four bags of coal from some coal cars, Judge Bishop of the New Haven city court said that in view of the pressing demand for coal, the attempt of these women, who were found to have six or seven tons of an- thracite coal in their cellar, to purloin that which was consigned to other par ties should not be passed over. The prisoners claimed that the coal was thrown to them by boys on the coal cars. |
