HAS EVIDENCE IN HAND
Decisions Of Supreme Court in Paper
and Tobacco Trust Cases Aid
Attorney General.

Prosecutions of the anthracite and
bituminous coal trust have been de-
cided on by the Department of JUS
tice.
Attorney General Moody engaged
Charles n. Hughes of New York and
Alexander Simpson. Jr., of Philadel-
phia, to conduct the cases. Hughes
was the man who conducted the
searching into the insurance scan
dals.
The Coal-carrying roads. which
own the anthracite coal mines, will
be defendants in the case. These
roads include the Pennsylvania,
Baltimore & Ohio, Reading, Lehigh
Valley, Delaware 6, Hudson, Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western,
Erie, New York, Ontario & Western,
New York, Susquehanna & Western
and the Central Railroad of New
Jersey Proceedings will also be
brought against the different roads
in the bituminous coal fields.
This is the first action of the De-
partment Of Justice under the di-
lctliOuS vi tllc supp SluC NouiI III IhN
paper and tobacco trust cases, in
which the court held that corpora
tons were not granted immunity from
punishment because the officials Of
the corporations furnished evidence
on which prosecutions could be
based. and that these officials must
produce the books of the corpora
tiOns
In the announcement of the Depart
ment of Justice relating to the selec-
ton of the two lawyers to conduct
the case it is admitted that the
Government now has In its possession
evidence which will enable the Gov
ernment to go into court and show
that the coal roads have engaged in
the sale of coal in Interstate COM
mercc. which is forbidden by law,
especially as there has been discrimi-
nations against mine owners not in
the trust. The two lawyers have
been engaged to advise with the At
tOrney General and actually to con-
duct the prosecution which will be
brought.

As Good as the Mothers of Old.

New York and its people are not
half as bad as they are painted. The
doings of the people in olden times
make the weaknesses Of the smart
set" of to-day look as mild as the do
ings Of well-prdered Sunday school

at its meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria
She also said that Rev. DR.. Park
hurst and Rev. Madison c. Peters are
the Jeremiahs of our time. And
there are the Jeremiahs I'M every age.
At this the audience burst into ap-
plause, for the club has had troubles
of its own, and has no use for Jere-
miahs Of any kind.
"You see a few women drink and
gamble, and therefore we forget the
millions who do neither, and the hun
dreds OF millions of men who do
BOTH" remarked Mrs. Cronise, ad-
drssing figuratively Rev. DR.. Peters.
whom she called "the apostle at
large to the women Of Gotham" "I
contend" she went on, that we are
quite as good wives and mothers as
the women of past generations. We
differ in degree and not in kind. The
standard Of living has changed, and
we have changed to meet it."
Mrs. Cronise ventured the asser-
tion that the clubs of our country and
city contain as fine housekeepers as
ever managed household. whose
cooking would make the best profes-
sional chefs turn green with envy.
