The fact that the McArthllr-C C;illispie

CHARGE GEINTERSTATE COMM.
Says Both N. & w. and c. & O. Have Large Holdings
in Coal Land and Have Been Privy the 6 Com
mlnity Of Interest" Scandal

oped during the investis alton the interest
of railroad officials in corporations or
companies operating coal mines or en-
gagged in coal traffic.
Regarding the various associations the
following conclusions are reached:
The commission finds in the Associated
Railroads OF Virginia and the Caroinas
an agreement among the several rail-
roads, parties thereto, not to reduce coal
rates without consultation, and the infer
ence is that the consent of the railroad
companies represented in the association
Is required
Under the heading of monopoly of any
part of tho trade or commerce In coal
or traffic therein" evidence concerning the
community OF interest between the Penn
sylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, Norfolk
and Western. chesapeake and Ohio, New
York Central and Philadelphia and Read
Ing Railways Is conceded.
The report continues: The. associations
having failed to accomplish the desired
purposes, the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany determined to buy sufficient OF the
stocks of tho Chesapeake and Ohio, Bai-
timore and Ohio and Norfolk and Western
Railroads, so that, acting with others, IL
might control the policy of these roads
The commission reaches the conclusion
aside from. the question whether the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had a
majority of the stock of the other railroad
companies mentioned, except the New
York Central, and that the result was
to practically abolish substantial COM.
petition between the carriers of coal in
the territory under consideration.
Since the taking of evidence in this in
vestigation the commission Is advised of
the sale by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company of its stocks of Baltimore and
Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk
and Western, or a part thereof. This
action on tho part of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad appears to the commission az
a recognition OF the public demand that
there should not bo stock ownership by
one road engaged in interstate commerce
in 81 substantial competitor also engaged
in Interstate commerce.
Mr. Decatur Axtcll. vice-presidcnt of
the Chesapeake and Ohio. declined to
discuss the matter last night, and Mr..
stevens. president OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio, was not In the city.

Senator Morgan, Who Has Been

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. January a.-I, is
learned that the Senate Committee on
fnteroccanc Canals Will submit a renort
IN short time. Which will make scnsa-
| tionai statements regarding the manage
nent of the financial affairs OF the 18TH
nlan Canal Commission.
The nature of the charges Is not obtain
able with denniteness of detail, but It lis
stated that reckless extravaganza will be
charged in the report, and that 1t will
be asserted that money appropriated for
/ the construction OF the canal has been
| expended carelessly, and with unprece-
| dcnted disregard for economy.
| The report is being drawn by Sem
1 ator Morgan. OF Alabama 1t has been

7! learned to-day that Senator Morgan

| The President recommended to the
/ committee some time ago that the

{ be turned over to the War Depart

! Welt knew OF the state o? affairs which

Senator Morgan has now rcgained alb

II is understood that nine of the
twelve members voted to have him

The seamstress. passing her needle
through and through the fabric on
her lap. said:
II love to sew white | love to sew
green too. Pinks are easy. So are
most of the clear, pale tlnts. But
black. But red. But shepherds

She threw back her head in horror.
Bright red. when you sew 1t, in
flames your vision. it angers you, it
makes you nervous. Black strains the
eyes out of your head, the stitches In
it are so hard to see. Black is de-
pressing color too. But worst of all
is that combination of black and white
called shepherds plaid. Work on shep-
herds plaid an hour or two and the
black and white squares will dance

tribute to Mr.. Macmillans remarkable
