viewed the late decision of the New
Mexico court agains. the Santa Fe
railroad and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company the result of which was

although action might have been taken
against the individuals, the depart
ment of justice preferred to proceed
against the corporations, thus letting
out former Secretary Morton, who was
the trartic manager Of The Santa Fe al
the time the rebates We're given. The
comments o. the commissi proceed
as follows:
There was q technical violation Of
the law involved In the transaction,
as has always been plain, but that
there was criminal intent on the part
of Mr.. Morton and the other officials
involved has always been denied and
the avowed practice of the railroad
tends to prove this contention"

Failure TO Mine Coal Under Town
Would Cause Loss of More
Than Sl.0OO.0OO.

Centralia, Pa, Aug. 11.-This little
anthracite town Just under the clouds
is suffering from too much advertising
and notoriety This is the practically
unanimous opinion of it's leading citi-
zens. The town has troubles of its
own. That is fully admitted. But
it thinks itself well able, if let alone,
to work these out in it's own way.
Centralia is built over a coal basin,
and is experiencing surface disturb
ances which here and elsewhere are
the normal results of the taking out
of coal.
The coal lands of Centralia are, and
long have been, owned by the Locust
Mountain Coal company. AS early as
1856 this company began selling lots
in what is now Centralia, chiefly TO
miners on partial payments for home
building purposes. In all the deeds
the Locust Mountain company care
fully reserved to itself the right to
mine the coal. With the working of
the uppermost veins the disturbances
have become necessarily greater. Min
ing in the Primrose and Holmes veins
is accordingly progressing, and about
thirty five householders have been

company, which leases the coal rights
from the OWNER, the Locust Mountain
Coal company. that they are in danger
and should remove their houses tc
places of safety. On the receipt OF
these notices, leading citizens of Cen
tralia held a meeting at which vari-
Gus plans were proposed. Finally {
committee of nine was appointed, witt

4eL of the town, and the owner o
about half of the one hundred houses
which will ultimately be affected, Ii

In the only cases of hardship occur
ring thus far, the Lehigh Valley com
pany had already, before public atten'
ton was drawn to the matter, showI
its intention 10 go beyond mere lega
requirements in dealing with the peo'
pie of Centraia. The home of Mrs
Healy, a widow, was endangered. Th'
company therefore moved her hous'
to a safe spot. better located than hei
former building, presented her with
deed to the new location and put he
house in excellent repair, Mr.. ant
Mrs. Maloney, an aged couple similar
ly situated, have been accorded sim
liar privilege. Mrs. Mcclure, though
her lot had never been paid for, wa
given a new house better than he
old one, and admits that she has beel
greatly profited by the change.
Under its lease from the Locus
Mountain Coal company the Lehig
Valley Coal company must mine tn
coal; otherwise the lessor would hav
an action for loss of royalties. Neg
lect TO mine the coal underlying Cen
tralia would result in a loss of NOR
than 900 tons, a tide water valu
of nearly $l,000,000.
