LACKAWANNA CASE
IN SUPREME COURT
Question as to Whether Company Must
Produce Records Is involved.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March THE
supreme court of the United States to-
day began the hearing Of the case of the
interstate commerce commission VS..
David G. Baird and others. 1t Is known
as the anthracite coal case and originated
in 1902, in a proceeding before the inter-
state commerce commission against the
Delaware & Lackawanna, in which it was
charged that the company was pooling
rates on coal with other roads penetrat-
ing the anthracite region, and that those
rates were unreasonable and unjust.
During the hearing before the commits
sion Secretary Chambers, of the railroad
company, refused to produce the con-
tracts for the purchase of coal by the
railroad company from independent oper-
ators, and his refusal was followed by
like refusals by President Truesdale and
Auditor Post, Of the railroad company.
The commission directed responses and
the officials still refusing the commission
took the case to the circuit court for the
southern district of New York. That court
refused to require the production of the
documents and to compel answers to GER
tain questions relative to the prices paid
for coal. The case then was appealed Ito
the supreme court of the United States.
The case turns on, the right to compel
the railroad company to divulge their
private business Counsel for the railroads
contend that the Information sought is
irrelevant, while the commerce commits
sion seeks to make it appear that it has
a direct bearing on the transportation
problem.

surprising in view of the atmosphere
of suspicion and calumny which per-
vades the territory" He says, however:
1T is to my mind questionable
whether it were not better to bear the
ills we have than to submit past in
terests involving the homes and prop
erty rights of so many thousands Of
poor and ignorant people who are de-
pendent upon and entitled to the spe-
cial protection of the government to
the sole and final arbitrament of a
local official"
He says it is confidently expected
that the Dawes commission will finish
it's work not later than a year from
next July, in view of which the gov
eminent should hesitate to enter on
radical changes of more or less ex-
perimental character.
The report says that the system
adopted by the commission for the al
lotment of lands is faulty and that al
lotments should have been made on
the ground. 1t says that many trust
companies operating in the territory
are little more than associations of
individual grafters, whose questionable
operations are the more Objectionable
because they discredit the reputable
corporations"
This statement is made sustaining
the Brosius charge that the trust COM
panies are manipulating Indian lands
and often in collision with excessive
holders" Qndians), buy out the latter's
rights and get ignorant members of the
tribes to make proper filing on the
lands at the land Office.
Specifies as to Bixby.
The report says that Brosius charg-
es appear to be true" wherein he al
legged: The organization of the Tribal
Development Company of Tishomingo,
of which P. S. Mosely, governor of the
Chicksaw Nation, is a stakeholder;
the organization of the Muskogee Title
and Trust company, Tams Bixby,
stakeholder and vice president, and
George w. Wright, Indian inspector in
charge of Indian Territory, one of the
directors; organization of the Cana
dian Valley Trust company, of Musco-
gee, Tams Bixby, president and stock
holder; organization of the Interna-
tional Bank and Trust company,
Thomas B. Needles, a member of the
Five Tribes commission, vice presi-
dent and director; C. R. Breckenridge,
of the commission, also credited as
being interested as a stakeholder in
the Eufaula Trust company; that
Tams Bixby is understood to have been
owner of real estate in various Sec
lions of the territory.

In That Event, They Assert.


PARIS, March Representative here
Of large railroad industries in the United
States which have been supplying extern
sive equipments to Russia are receiving
reports from their agents in Russia and
the far East giving the extent of the war
operations and referring to the probable
effect upon business.
Concerning the effect of the war, the
railroad representatives are strongly in
clined to the belief that American in
terests will be best served by Russian
success. They point out that at Russia
American railroad supplies and assert
that Russian success promises con-
tinuance and an extension of the demand
for American supplies. whereas Japan
has not drawn largely upon American
railroad equipment.
The head of one Of the largest railroad
concerns in America now here, says he
believes that the success of the jap
anese would prove serious detriment to
American trade, particularly the railroad
Industry, which thus far has taken an
important part in the development Of

TURPENTINE PLANTS
FOR VALDOSTA.
American Company to Build n Stn
There.

Valdosta, Ga, April 15.-Valdosta is
soon to have two plants for extracting
spirits of turpentine from lightwood
knots and stumps, etc. One of them
is to be established by the American
Turpentine Company of Washington,
which has a Southern branch office
here. 1t is the Gideon steam process,
and the local plant is to be primarily
for demonstrating what this system
will accomplish. The plant will cost
about $4,000.
1t is understood that some parties
in Atlanta also have an interest in the
plant. A site has been secured ard
all that is to be done now is to get the
side tracks put in. Reports which
come to the headquarters of the COM
pany here indicate that there is a very
widespread interest in the new process
of distilling, due to the scarcity Of the
pine timber and to the plentifulness
of the stumps, etc.
The PittHlan system has also estab-
lished headquarters here, and an
nounces that it will have it's experiment
tai plant in operation within the next
two weeks. The retorts are being made
now, and will be shipped in less than
ten days. Under these steam process
eS, the wood is used for fuel after it
has given up it's turpentine, the fuel
being packed in bales so that it may
be easily shipped.
