INDIANA COAL INDUSTRY
SERIOUSLY CRIPPLED
Operators Claim the Railroads of
State Are Discriminating Against
Them in Favor of Ohio.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Dec. 16.-when the
story was printed that coal operators of the
Sullivan and Greene county fields, which
have come to be the center of the Indiana
industry. producing more than half the out
put OF the State. accused the Vandalia and
Big Four of purposely discriminating
against their coal brought to Terre Eaute
to be carried by those roads to Indianapo-
lis and the gas belt, railroad representatives
said the accusation was not only baseless
but that operators would deny that they
made such an accusation. On the contrary
operators say the accusation is based on alb
solute proof. The Journal correspondent is
assured by operators that they know what
they are talking about" and tina the roads
are carrying less coal delivered to them by
the Evansville & Terre Haute and the
Southern Indiana than they did at this time
last year, but that more coal is going into
indianapolis and the gas belt from the Ohio
and West Virginia fields, hauled by the
pennsylvania and Big Four roads for q
larger earning than would be the freight
charges on the Indiana product. The Big
-Four mas practically refused to accept coal
at Terre Haute since September. The Van
CANA mas accepted much more than the Big
four, but the operators say that il is not
taklng as much as a year ago. Superintend-
emit Downing, of the Vandalia, says the
charge is u~nfounded. So serious is the
handicap OF the Greene and Sullivan fields
out of the indianapolis and gas belt mar
kets.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, Dec. 16.-Tne second spe-

VIGOROUS PROTESTS
OVER TRACTION RATES
Residents of Kokomo and Upton
Assert They Are Being
Charged Too Much.

ecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Dec. 16.-There is a Wig
orous protest here over the rates charged
by the indianapolis Northern Traction Com
pany between Kokomo and Upton. In the
original franchise it was stipulated that the
rate should be IL cents per mile, but the
company is collecting 8 cents per mile for
short distance and 2 cents from Eokomo 70
Upton.
This is higher than the rate from Upton
to Indianapolis and the discrimination is
causing a big how here. 1t also affects
travel and decreases traffic to the capital
city.
The discovery was made to-day that the
company is operating on a dead franchise.
The franchise was granted in 1900 with the
proviso that cars must be running within
eighteen months. The franchise expired
nearly two years before the line was in
operation and it was not renewed The
records in the courthouse show no extern
sion or renewal, nor the requirement of any
rights to operate in the county from Koko-
mo south. What the outcome of the tangle
will be no one ventures to predict, bu- the
company officials are much concerned over
the situation and are taking steps TO seek
relief from the County Commissioners 1t
is believed that the county board will grant
a franchise but will see that the public
gets better protection than 1t now has.

Upton, Ind, Dec. 16.-It is evident that
a fight will soon take place between the
Indiana Union Traction Company for the
passenger business between this city and
Indianapolis. Several years ago the line be-
tween Upton and Indianapolis, owned by
the Lake Erie. was considered one of the
best paying lines in the country, but since
the construction of the interurban line the
passenger traffic has decreased in an alarm
ing manner. The railroad company has
business by selling a twenty-five trip book
from this city to Indianapolis for SIS, equal
to the rate charged by the traction COM
pany.

MOTION MADE TO OUASH
CHARLES'S INDICTMENT
Case Is of Vital Importance, as 1t
Will Establish a Precedent.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 16.-To-day in the
Wayne Circuit Court the attorneys for DIR.
James Charles made a motion to quash the
indictment against him for alleged practic-
ing Of riedicine without d license. The mo-
ton brings up the points involved in the
case. and which are of general interest to
Indiana. DIR. Charles is a manufacturer
and dealer in electrical appliances. Though
he never administers drugs. it is held by the
State that under the existing statutes the
selling of electrical appliances to cure dis
ease constitutes the practice of medicine in
q general way. The Indictment is alleged to
be faulty in that it fails to name the pa
tients treated by DR.. Charles; that it fails
to specify the time and place when such
practicing was done; that 1t fails to specify
all the essential facts that would constitute
the alleged crime and that it does not set
out the statute defining what constitutes a
violation of the law in this regard. II the
motion Is overruled there will be a hard
legal fight on the technical points.
