RIGHT TO OWN COAL LANDS
Reading Railroad Company
Has a Charter Worded to
That Particular Effect,

Philadelphia, Feb. 11-George Il. Baer,
president Of the Reading company, has
issued a statement III relation to the
action Of the house of representatives of
Pennsylvania last Friday in adopting a
resolution instructing the attorney gen.
eraI TO bring court proceedings against
the anthracite coal carrying roads, if on
inquiry he finds they are violating the
constitution OF the state. The resolution
names the Pennsylvania railroad the
Philadelphia & Reading Railway COM
pany, and the Delaware, LackaWanna &
Western Railroad COMPANY
In his statement President Baer saws
that the Reading cOmpany's right to
own the stock of the coal companies
and secured under charter was granted
before the adoption of the new consti-
tuition These are vested rights, he says,
and the constitution explicitly declares
them valid. Relative to the aVerment of
the resolution that cit is alleged that the
price or anthracite coal has been raised
since the last anthracite coal strike 81 Is
per ton, yet the so-ca,lled operators are
refusing to allow the miners an increase
m wages, thus another strike is threat
ened," President Baer cites figures to
prove that wages and materials have
increased to such an extent that the
companies increased profits per ton in
the past seven years have been 1913
cents, labor having gained 51.7 cents in
the same time.
Mr.. Baer says that the present pros
perity Of the Reading system is not due
to profits on anthracite coal mining and
miscellaneous, passenger and bituminous
coal traffic

JURY FINDS BANK
PRESIDENT GUILTY

Spokane. Wash, Feb. 11.-Charles G.
May, president of the defunct Big Bend
National bank of Davenport, Wash,
who has been on trial for wrecking
that institution, was today found
guilty by jury in the federal court.
The jury was out twenty-four hours
The conviction came after one of the
most stubborn legal battles in Spo-
kane. Mays downfall is said to have
been caused by efforts to develop with
funds Of depositors on hand in his
bank, the Palmer Mountain mine.
Conviction was made on the fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh counts of the
indictment returned by the January
federal grand jury. The minimum
penalty is five years in 1.-THE peniten-
tiary, the maximum ten years.
Nays attorneys will argue for a. new
trial Failing in this they will take the
case to the supreme court
May is probably the best known eff
izen of the Big Bend, and until this
conviction confidence in his integrity
was absolute.

Reverend Churchman.

FREE-FoR-ALL FIGHT IN ST.
PAUL CHURCH.

Chicago, Feb. 11.-An attack by a
Gro nd OF angry Lithuanians today upon
the residence OF the Rev Edward Stat
anOwicz, a Catholic priest, resulted in
the fatal shooting of one man and the
serious injury Of a number of others.
The assailants were ali members of the
church over which the Rev. Stafano-
wicz presided Dissension among the
members OF the congregation over the
control of the church funds eliminated
in violence during the Sunday service.
Women are said to have opened hostili-
ties by hurting a missile at the pastor.
Pursued by wOTShipers the priest re-
treated TO his residence. There he was
besieSed for mere than an hour IN
spite Of efforts OF a squad of police
which was hurried to the scene. The pO-
lice repeatedly charged the attackers
who had armed themselves with clubs
and stones and only succeeded in dis
persing them by firing into the crowd.
John Tamnalis, a member of the con-
gregation, was shot in the left groin
and was fatally injured. Alex. Bargias,
another of the attacking party, re-
ceived a bullet in the head. A score of

AB0RTIVE RESULT FEARED
Uneasiness IN Continental Capitals
Over Anticipated Failure Of
AlgeciTaS Conference.

London, Feb. 12-Telegrams from
continental capitals and editorials in
the London newspapers this morning
reflect the renewal of uneasiness over
the anticipated failure of the AlgeCiras
conference on Moroccan reforms in
consequence Of the deadlock on the
French and German contentious with
regard to the question of police. A
long Algeciras dispatch Of a semi-offi-
cial nature, published in Paris today,
seems to fOreshadOW an abortive re-
suit, if not the actual rupture Of the
conference, and declares that the lines
have been reached beyond which it is
impossible that France can go.
Special dispatches from Algeciras to
the London newspapers admit the
critical acct OF the situation, but
counsel patience. They are inclined to
the view that Germany, having called
the conference, cannot allow it to
break down. The editorials decline in
any case to believe that war could re-
suit. even If the conference failed.
