Postmaster General Cortelyou Urges
Revision of Second Glass Pos
tai Statutes.

Washington. Postmaster General
Cortelyou has recommended to con
gress the appointment OF commits
sion to inquire into the subject of sec
Ond-class matter with 4 view to as
ccrtaining what notifications of the
present second-class laws are neces
sarv, the commission to render its re
port to congress not later than DE
ccmbcr 10. 1906
In recommending this commission
the postmaster general, in his COM
munication to the committees on post
offices and pose roads of the senate
says:
1.-The existing statute regulating the
sccond-clasS of mail matter are out of
date; they do not meet modern re-
quirements of the publishing industry.
and the administration of .hcm un-
necessarily and unrcasonably hampers
the publishers of bona idc newspapers
and periodicals.
Postmaster General CorlalyOu OK
presses the belief that such commits
sion, IT appointed will be able to
make recommendations to congress
which will result in the passage OF Il
law that will be equitable tn publish
ers, relieve them from present annoy
anccs and restrictions. and at the
same time protect the interests OF The

TO CONTINUE AWARD.
Miners Will Work for Three Years
More Under Terms of Anthracite
Agreement.

New YOrk.--Aftcr carrying on ne
gotiations for nearly three months, the
subcommittee representing the anthra-
cite mine workers and operators OF
eastern Pennsylvania Monday agreed
to continue the award of the strike
commission for another three years
and the men will return to work as
soon as practicable, probably Monday.
All miners who have not committed
violence against persons or property
will be reemployed and no one will
be disseminated against because of
any activity he may have taken in the
strike movement.
The outcome of dispute. which
threatened to develop into a long, bit
ter struggle and paralyze Il great in
dustry, was looked upon with consid-
cradle satisfaction by the coal road
presidents, as the agreement entered
into is their first proposition made
early in March in reply to the mine
workers original demands.
The miners had little TO say regard
ing the agreement, except that 1t was
the best they could do. They pointed
out. however, that the agreement en-
tered into is the first general agree
lnent that has ever been signed be-
tween the operators and miners, and
they look upon 1t as Il step forward in
their efforts to have regular agree
ments with their employers.

INDICTED FOR RELATING.
New York Grand Jury Returns Seven
True Bills for Violation of
Antitrust Laws,

New York. - The April federal
eral jury completed its investigation
into sugar rebating ana handed down
seven indictments and Il presentnent.
The indictments are against the fol
lowing: The New York Central rail
road; the American Sugar Refining
company; the New York Central &
Hudson River Railroad company, and
Nathan Guilford, vice president; G..
Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle,
wholesale sugar dealers of Detroit,
Mich; L. J.. Pomeroy, general traffic
manager.
The first six indictments We're
found under the "Elkins antitrust
law" which provides penalties OF a
fine not exceeding $4,000, or irlpris-
onment not exceeding two years. for
giving. granting, applying for or ac-
cepting any rebate or concession from
the regular freight rates, as published
by Il railway company as Il common
carrier.
The seventh indictment. found
against Guilford. Pomeroy, Edgar and
Earle, charges them with having col
lectirely conspired to violate the pro-
vision of the Elklns antitrust law.
The grand Jury recommends that
the investigation be continued by it's
successor, intimating that Indications
point TO the possibility that other
common carriers may be equally culp-
able with the indicted roads.

FAST TRAINS IN COLLISION
TEN PERSONS ARE KILLED AND
TWENTY ARE INJURED.
Accident Appears to Have Been Due
to misunderstanding of Or
ders by Trainmen.

Altoona, Pa, The most dis
astrous accident on the Pennsylvania
railroad since the disaster east of Har-
risburg nearly year ago, when about
20 persons were killed, occurred Fri
day night about ten o'clock on the Pc.
tersburg branch, about 500 yards east
of Glover Creek Junction.
The Chicago mail, bound east, and
the Chicago and st. Louis express,
bound west, two of the fastest trains
on the system, going at full speed.
met head-on. Ten persons We're killed
and 20 injured. Seven cars were
wrecked and both engines badly dam
aged.
The disaster was indirectly due to
a freight wreck on the middle division
at 1924 o'clock, when q loaded cars
of an east-bound freight train were
wrecked at Union furnace, about 20
miles south of here, blocking all
tracks. The cause of the accident is
attributed to the bursting of an air
brake hose. In order to avoid deten-

Pennsylvania special, the 1S-hour fly
err, west-bound, was the first train to
pass around and make the trip in
safety. No. 81, the st. Louis and Chi
cago express, was the next train to
be sent west-bound over the branch.
1t collided with No. IS, the Chicago
mail, going in an opposite direction,
on a single track near Glover Creek
Junction.
Altoona. Pa.The official report of
the collision Friday night between
the east-bound Chicago mail train
and the west-bound Chicago and
st. Louis express on the Petersburg
cutoff of the Pennsylvania railroad
which caused the death of ten persons
and the injury of many others. lays
the blame on Engineer J. T. Dough.
erty. who was hauling the westbound
train. He was given orders to wait
at tile end of the double track at Car
lin TO permit the east-bound train to
pass. but he misunderstood them and
continued out on the single track. En-
