Now Up to the President.

Washington. will now depend Oh
the President what action shall be Ia
ken, and when. against the anthracite
coal trust, the reports, however. being
that action of some kind may be eX-
pected within two weeks. The first
substantial attack on the coal carrying
roads and their dealings with their al
lies, the coal operators, their various
and intricate methods of discrimina-
tions, rebates, freezing out of indie
pendent operators, denial of car ser
vice and the whole category of viola
tions Of law by the mine and railroad
com bne, was made in the case OF
Hearst against, this enormous combina-
ton
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has volumes of evidence taken
by Clarence j Shearn. attorney on be-
half of Mr. Hearst, and its general
character is well known to the pub
lie
After the evidence in the case had
been brought in and filed. a great deal
OF it having been obtained only after
a fight in the United States Supreme
Court to compel the coal barons to
produce their contracts, which was
deemed essential by the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO prove the
case, Congress took hold of the subject
and passed resolutions of inquiry into
the coal roads and their methods on
lines parallel to the proceedings in the
Hearst case.
Messrs Todd and Simpson were ap-
pointed special attorneys by the Presi-
dent to look into the subject of both
anthracite and bituminous coal and
the relations of the shipment of these
commodities to the railroads and the
mine owners. 1t is stated that the
Todd Simpson report has been re-
ceived and that it furnished evidence
that the railroads investigated are IL
able under the Sherman antitrust law.
II is said that the attorneys went back
ten years to get data.
II is assumed here that these attor-
neys in order TO complete their rec
ord availed themselves of the United
States Supreme Court decisions in ia
vor of Mr.. Hearst TO examine the con-
tracts of the railroads under the rail
road investigation. Because of that
investigation there was nothing to pre-
vent the railroads and mine owners
from refusing to permit an examina-
ton of their written records
II action be taken under the Sher-
man law. there are alternatives OF
fines or Imprisonment. An enormous
agsregations of capital are involved in
these cases as defendants. and their
practices have continued over many
years, as shown in the Hearst evil
dence, the fines would run up into the
millions if the government succeeded
in conyictng the corporations
Whether individuals will be indicted is
still a mooted question in the Depart
ment of Justice, but as the form of pro-
cedure has been apparently referred
to the White House, the esponsibility
will lie therein in the form of action
to be taken.

Pullman Company Called On Carpet

Denver.-The Pullman company may
be brought to book in Colorado as it
has been in Missouri. 1t is claimed
that an Illegal agreement and usurious
charges are maintained here and that
this is in violation of the companya
charter
There is question Of taxes in
volved in the matter, too. and unless
the Pullman company squares things
with Secretary OF State O'Connor be-
fore July LIST of this year it may be
threatened with revocation OF the char.
ter under which it does business in
Colorado.
June 1st was to have been the final
day of grace, but Secretary of State
O'Connor was late in serving his no.
tices and therefore the time was ex-
tended to July 1st.
The successful war which has been
waged against the Standard Oh, the
Pullman company and other predatory
corporations in Missouri and Kansas
has emboldened other long-suffarins
states to rebel. Colorado is leading the
fight by beginning with the Pullman
company, which charges the wayfarer

whether the government will enter

what action the administration is to
make in regard to the criminal prose-

The proceedings against Hartman
will be brought in the courts Of the
Southern district OF New York.
Whether the prosecution or the de
fense should win, the case will be ap-
pealed 10 higher courts, and ulti-

United States. According TO opinions
already expressed by members of thc
Interstate Commerce Commission 1t
may be year or more before final
decision can be reached. For these
reasons il was announced several
weeks that the commission did not in

been a wonder il some accident had
not befallen him. A man working on
the place saw him topple over and gave

was picked up and medical aid sum

him
