THE COAL combine

One of Larger Dealers Lost Big
Order AS Result Of Cut and
Dissolved Agreement.

Tho price of anthracite coal has been
reduced by the dealers, of this city to So
per ton for July delivery. During June
some of the dealers, II not all, wero
quoting tat $3.50 per ton. a representa-
tive of The Times-Dispatch yesterday
asked representatives OF two firms
whether the coal combine had been dis
solved. and II not, what was the explana-
ton of the reduction In the price TO con-
suners. Both gentlemen denied that there
had been an combine. but admitted tha.
most OF the coal dealers OF the city had
agreed not to cut price. lest by doing so
me pr price be reduced to such an extent as
One Of the gentlemen in question adj
mited this concert of action, and the other
gave way the real reason Of the drop and

that a fair profit might be had.
he stated that recently one Of the

reason Of the fact that another nrm
which was a party to the agreement had
undereut him and gotten the order Z. In n.
that he was going 10 ''scll coal for fun
hereafter, meaning that he was going TO
meet competition. s
a representative Of one of the dealers
stated further that they were paying 56.iO
per long ton for July deliveries OF coal;
that they. would have to pay $3.50 for
August shipments, and $500 for September
shipments. Their profit when selling to
consumers at SO per ton is now. there
FORE but 80 cents per ton. and the ditrer-
ence between short and a long ton.
Next month, II the selling price be main-
tained their profit will be but 20 cents
per ton, and In September but 10 cents per
ton.
1t would seem from these statements
that the coal combine, agreement or what
ever it may be termed has been dissolved,
and that underwriting was the cause OF
the dissolution. Hard as It may be on the
dealer, the consumers are the heneflc!aries,
and It may be that still further reduc-

TOPEKA. KAS., July 3.-No definite
statement was obtalnable to-day regard
Ing the condition Of the First National
Bank. controlled by Charles j. Devlin, a
wealthy coal mine owner, which closed
Its doors this morning. Col w. II. Ros.
sington. president of the bank,
locked the Institutions books in the vault
to await the arrival of -J.sT. Bradley,
National Bank Examiner. whom the
comptroller had appointed receiver Of the
failed bank, and the Colonel would only
say.
THE banks trouble has not been caused
by dishonesty on the part OF anyone,
but by lending too largelyato one borrow
er. There has been no stealing"
The borrower 1t Is said, Is Mr.. DevlIn.
and the hank is said to hold the capital
lists paper to the amount of sl.000,OOO.
Mr.. Devlin. whose sudden illness brought
about the tangle in the big coal mining
and railroad properties valued, 1t is
estimated at close to 100000, is still
under the care OF physician, and no
statement could be secured from him,
All that came from his home during
the day or could be secured from other
sources was that the stricken coal opera
tor had turned over to the bank nearly
100000 In life insurance and about the
same amount IN Topeka real estate. Bust
ness associates OF Mr.. Dcvlin gave It as
their opinion that II properly handled
this would allow the bank to pay.
Aside from the furry that the failure
OF the First National Bank caused on
the other banks OF the city, the most
interesting phase OF the situation was
the statement of State Treasurer T. T.
Kelly that the bank held s5470oo OF the
State funds. and the knowledge that Mr..
Devln was one of Treasurer Kelly's
bondsmen. Is
Following the announcement Of the
failure a lively but not disastrous run was
started on the Central National Bank.
Other runs Of lesser degree were start
ed on the State Savings Bank, the Bank
of Topeka and on t!les Merchants National
Bank. At none OF these banks. how
ever, was the demand for Withdrawals
great.
Devlin was generally credited as being
one Of the wealthiest men In Kansas
City. He was at the head OF twenty
six different companies, coal mining en-
terprises and mercantile establishments,
and owned stock In, twenty-five banks.
HIS liabilities are stated to be from
two and a half to four millions. princi-
pally due to fourteen banks.
The First National has a capital Of
100000 and owes depositors a million
