GIVES TRUST A HARD BLOW.
Court Rules that Railways Cannot
Mine and Sell Coal.

Common carriers cannot lawfully
deal in the commodities which they
transport, according to a decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States
handed down by Mr.. Justice White.
The decision hits at the foundations
of the monopoly of the great coal car
rying railroads which, through their
ownership and operation of coal mines,
are able to undersell their competitors,
thereby giving what amounts to a dis
elimination in freight rates. Thus,
while nominally they charge the pubs
can sell it at a price which would
mean an actual loss to the mines If
the full freight charges were paid.
Not only does the decision affect the
coal monopoly, but it may have far
reaching effect on the beef combine in
its capacity of proprietor of refrigerat-
ing car lines. Cases are pending in
court now in which the government is
endeavoring to have private car lines
declared common carriers and in case
the suit is successful packers either
will have to give up their car lines or
abandon their trade in the beef, pro-
duce, poultry and fruit which they
transport. The decision also will ap-
ply to the great breweries which own
their own refrigerator cars, as well as
to several other lines of business.
Mr.. Justice White, in his decision,
said that to permit the carrier to be-
come a dealer in the commodities car
ried by it would be to supply the means
for perpetuating an evil which the in
terstate commerce commission was Gre
ated to remedy, and would make the
adherence to published rates only a
farce.
The case in question originally was n
dispute between the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company. The former agreed to
supply the latter with 100000 tons of
soft coal between July 1, 1897, and
July 1, 1902 but because of strike
fell short 10000 tons in making the
deliveries. The buyer went into the
open maket bought the coal and sent
the bill to the Chesapeake and Ohio.
This the road refused to pay, but deliv-
cred the coal called for by the contract,
though the price of fuel had gone up
to such an extent that the road lost
heavily by doing so.
The fight over a matter of a little
over 100000 in the lower courts at
tracted the attention Of the interstate
commerce commission, which became a
party to the litigation, taking the posi-
ton that the action of the Chesapeake
and Ohio in delivering coal at far below
the market price was, In fact, cutting
of freight rates and an evasion of the
law prohibiting the transportation of
freight at less than the published sched-
ule, and asking an injunction to stop
the road from dealing in coal.

After the ceremony and the wedding

BeautifuIly-Gowned Guests.
Miss Alice was not the only hand
somely gowned woman at her wedding.
The simple fact is that never In the
history Of weddings In this country has
there been such preparation for re-
splendent gowning. The dressmakers
Of FIVE cities-Washington, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston
say that never before in their expert
ence have such orders for wedding cos
tunes been placed with them. Prob
ably the handsomest gowns heretofore
seen at any wedding In this country
were at the Marlborough wedding in
st. Thomas Church, New. York. II
was a beautiful sight for day cere-
mony, but 1t is said that the costumes
at Miss Alice's wedding far surpassed
even those at the Marlborough nup-
tials. The very fact that the guests
were limited as to number seemed to
be stimulus for every woman there
to look her best.
The presents were a most attractive
display. The gift Of hte French gov
eminent was beautiful tapestry, cost
ing $4,000; that Of the Cuban govern
ment a pearl necklace costing 5000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitelaw Reid sent a
dog collar Of strands Of diamonds, all
Of generous size, with pendant COM
posed Of stones Of equal size and bril-
liancy. A novel gift was Boston bull
terrier, valued at $1,000, which came
from Pittsburg. The Kaiser's gift was
bracelet of most exquisite design.
These are but few of the thousands
of gifts, and as the White House was
taxed as to how to dispose Of the gifts,

Washington correspondence:
No bride Of recent years-and posi-
bly, none Of any time--has been looked
upon with such an amount Of interest
and been the object OF so much mingled
curiosity and admiration as the one
who Saturday stood In the East room
Of the White House and linked her
future with that Of Nicholas Long
worth.
No other American has been the re-
cipient Of such worldwide favors as
Alice Roosevelt The stream of gifts,
rich in their intrinsic value and richer
In their symbolism of the worlds good
will to us, has flown steadily for sew
eral weeks. The mysterious treasure
boxes Of ancient China and Japan; the
Jewels of the Orient and the art and
skill Of the Occident have been crawn
upon In larger measure than ever be-
fore for single bride to demonstrate
that the nations of the earth. take pleas
ure In honoring the daughter Of the
man who has done so much to advance
materially In bringing his own country
to position Of world-recognized great
ness. For the gifts which have been
sent to Miss Roosevelt are not only
compliment to this young woman Of
striking personality, but are likewise
a tribute Of respect to her father and
to the nation whose head he is.
On the other hand, 1t Is mistake to
assume that 1t is only because she Is
her fathers daughter that Miss Roose-
welt is thus remembered. She shines
not alone by reflected light, for her own
individuality has that magnetism which
wins admiration, both socially and pop
ularly. The public has seen enough Of
Miss Alice to like her and the presents
Of silver and gold, Of jewels and laces
and other costly things which dazzlcd
the guests at the White House are but
triding In comparison with that wealth
Of love and good will which goes out to
her from the American people and
which made her bridal altar not only
the center Of interest, but of solicitude
as well.
In the East Room.
There were over 700 people at the
White House Saturday, the company
comprising the relatives and near
friends Of the two families and such
guests as diplomacy demanded an In
yitation for. The disappointed ones
number thousands. The East room had
been tastefully decorted with plants. a

Andrew Hamilton, the peculiar financial
methods of the company and the payment
of huge sums to campaign funds, all Of
which were brought out on the witness
stand, caused his resignation. Adverse
criticism of his administration worried
him into an illness from which he never
recovered.
Mr.. Mccall was compelled to mortgage
and then sell his country place at Long

to pay $235,000 of the Hamilton account
John A. Mccall was born in Albany,
n. Y, March 2, 1910. He entered the
insurance business early in life, and in
1880 was appointed State insurance COM

WHOLESALE MURDER PLOTS.
Idaho Suspect Confesses to Bloody
Conspiracy.


Conspiracy.
1t transpires that the purpose of the
Idaho and Colorado authorities is to try
to fasten upon Charles III. Meyer, presi-
dent, and William ID. Haywood, secre-
tary, of the Western Federation of Min
ers, who were taken to Boise, response
bility for wholesale plots to murder
through a confession said to have been
made by Harry Orchard, a prisoner at
Boise charged with the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg.
Orchard charged, it is asserted, that a
plot was Matched to kill former Gov.
James Peabody of Colorado, William III.
Gabbert, chief justice of the Colorado
Supreme Court, and John Campbell, for
mer chief justice. Orchard is said to
have declared that wholesale assassina-
tions were planned at the headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners in
Denver, chiefly by refugees from the
camps at Cripple Greek and Telluride.
1t is said also that Orchards statement
gives a history of the explosion at the
independence station near Cripple Greek
on June q, 1904, which killed fourteen
men and injured many others.
The murders committed during the la
Dor troubles in the Cripple Greek and
Telluride districts in Idaho and Colorado,
which have been shrouded in mystery, the
earlier Occur d'Alene murders and the
more recent Steunenberg assassination,
form chain of crimes with which efforts
are being made to connect the officers Of
the Western Federation.

jeff Adams, an Arizona cattleman,
found in the Superstition mountains a
few days ago cavern 35x100 feet in
area, heaped up with the skeletons of 200
dead Indians. The cavern is up in the
side of precipitous gorge, reached only
BY dangerous trail. In Phoenix Adams
learned that he had rediscovered the long
lost cave where, in December OF 1872,
the Fifth cavalry accomplished the great
est job of Indian killing IN the history
of the army. The Indians, Mojaves and
Apaches, had fled to the cave, pursued
by FIVE troops of cavalry and company
of Maricopa Indian scouts.
The besiegers had settled down to
starve the aborigines out, when one OF the
troopers discovered that by shooting at
an overhanging rock bullets could be made
to glance into the cavern. Firing in this
manner was kept up until the glancing
bullets had killed or wounded every
Apache within. Then the Maricopas led
the way and finished the bloody job.
