the Emperor to prevent further dis
plays of hostility, treason n anar-

AS prelude to the imperial edict dis
solving the duma, the government
brought its mailed fist down upon the
municipal press. Shortly before the
ukase was issued an order appeared
from General Dracheffski, project of
st. Petersburg, proclaiming that the
publication of any article Of a tone hos
tile to the government will be consid-
cred a misdemeanor punishable by a
nne of $500 and three months in jail.

camp on the eve of an engagement.
Troops poured into the city in battal-

forced the guard regiments, ~grenadiers
have peer brought in, Cossacks are pa
trolling the streets, and in the indus,

These various evils are ascr:bed to

" the emperor decided to change the
basis of suffrage so that every part Of
the Russian population should be rep
resented in the lower house of parlia-
ment.
An attempt to assassinate Admiral
| Wren. commander of the Russian
squadron at Sevastopol, was made Mon
day. In some respects the attempt is
similar to the plot to assassinate the
Car and royal family when a cannon
was discharged in their direction at the
ceremony of the blessing of the waters.
The admiral and several officers were
cruising about the harbor in a launch,
while a torpedo boat was practicing.
When the launch came in sight of the
torpedo boat, commanded by Lieuten-
ant RuhZek, the warship suddenly
changed her position. A few moments
later a blank torpedo was discharged
directly at the launch. While the mis-.
sile was not loaded with explosives, il
cut clear through the launch. Water
began pouring through the openings
but the commander succeeded in beach
ing of the sinking craft.

The recent heavincss which partially
depressed activity in d~istrihutive lines
has dissolved under the encouraging in
huence of brighter weather, and bust
ness is characterized by 4 cheering tone.
Local demands equal expectations in the
principal industries, manufacturing sus-
tains a strong position and the demand
for seasonable merchandise gives a for
ward impetus to retail operations. lnte-
rior advices testify TO high consumption
and a satisfactory depletion of stock.
Payments through the banks still largely
exceed those of a year ago. and, with the
purchasing power throughout the West
evidently greater than at any time hith-
crto. it is difficult to find a sound reason
or experimenting any immediate diminu-
ION of commerce.
1t is significant that many visiting
buyers from distant points attend the
wholesale markets for staple goods and
that road statesmen obtain substantial or
dcrs for fall deliveries, the volume of
bookings thus far making favorable com
parison with that at this time last year.
Mercantile collections at some points are
better than in the early spring, and in
this district remain remarkably prompt,
While the defaults show much under the
normal average.

DR.. James NJ. Green, head of the New
Jersey State normal school, replying to
an editorial in the School Journal criti-
cising his opposition to the recent ten
dency of schools below the rank of col
lege to adopt the cap and gown for stu
dents in commencement exercises, de-
tends himself, first by pointing out that
the cap and gov have been recognized
from the earliest times as the regalia of
the degrees, this having gone to the ex-
tent of making them in shape or color
represent the different specific degrees.
Only within the last quarter of a century
have undergraduates in American col
leges adopted this commencement cos
tune. DR.. Green argues that for the
high schools and normal schools to take
his regalia of the university is like chill
dren clothing themselves in the apparel of
grown people. and that it robs the future
form of some of its attractiveness and
dignity. Other reasons against the cap
and gown for the high school are the add
ed expense, as this uniform can be worn
only on the one occasion, while the new
dress or suit of clothes may be worn on
other occasions, or until worn out. Be
sides these. he thinks the gown n cap
do not look well on a young woman un-
less worn over a white dress, and he
thinks it altogether desirable that high
school commandments be kept simple and
wholesome in the matter of dress.
The School Journal gets around the ex-
pense objection by suggesting that the
institution itself own the caps and
gowns. saying that this is the sensible
plan, being economical and democratic.

COAL TRUST PROSECUTED.
government Asks Injunction Against
Anthracite Combfr@.

In the federal circuit court at Phila-
delphla the government filed a petition
Tor an injunction prohibiting the Reading,
Lehlgh Valley, Lackawanna, jersey Gen
trai. Erie and SusQuehanna and Western
railroads from continuing their alleged
unlawtul combination, along with their
subsidiary coal companies, to control the
anthracite coal supply. In a statement
issued by the department of justice, it
was pointed out that the Pennsylvania,
the Ontario and Western and the Della
ware and Hudson were not made defend
ants in this suit because as yet no evil
dence of sufficient force to connect them
with the alleged combination and monop-
oily had been found, but should such evil
dence be found in the course of the trial
these roads would be similarly enjoined.
The petition recites that the defendant
railroads control all the means OF trans
portation between the mines and tide
water, with the exception of those omit
ted, which reach only a limited number
of mines, and that said defendants trans
port II per cent Of the anthracite tom
mage; that in their own name, or through
subsidiary companies controlled by them,
they control about 80 per cent of all the
anthracite deposits, and produce three
iourthS of the annual supply that the in
dependent operators, who produce about
20 per cent of the supply, cannot enter
into competition because of the restraints
imposed by the railroads. Further, the
petition charges that these defendants
have COnspired to silence competition
among themselves. and to prevent the
sale Of independent coal, thereby estab-
fishing a monopoly, specifying in detail
the contract entered into by these com
panieS and between them and the indie
pendcnr operators that the Erie exchang-
ed it's share for a majority of those of

end to all competition between them, and

In nearly every country, until COM
paratively recent times, debtors have
been subject to Imprisonment. After
the panic of 1925, one hundred and one
thousand writs for debt were issued in
England. In 1880, seven thousand per-
sons were sent to London prisons for
debt, and on January /, 1910, seventeen
hundred persons were held for debt in
England III Wales, one thousand In
Ireland, and less han one hundred in
Scotland. From time to time modifi-
prisonment Of debtors have beer made,
so that fewer debtors are imprisoned
for this crime each year.
II 1929 there were three thousand
debtors in prison in Mass chusctts, ten
thousand in New York, seven thousand
in Pennsylvania, three thousand In
Maryland, and a like proportion in
other States. Many of these persons
were Jailed for debts of one dollar. The
law providing for the Imprisonment Of
men who could not pay their debts as
shown to be impracticable by statistics
taken from Philadelphia, where in 1923
there were one thousand and eighty
five debtors imprisoned for debts
amounting to twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The expense of keeping these
persons in confinement was three hun
drea and sixty-two thousand dollars,
which was paid by the city, and the
amount recovered by this method was
two hundred and ninety-five dollars.
Imprisonment for debt was abolished
by Congress in the United States in
1888, though this measure was not fully
enforced until 1889.

NEW YORK.

Weather, crop and retail trade condl-
tions over a wide area of country have
changed for the better this week and the
feeling is more optimistic than for some
months past. In the Northwest, parts
of the central West and in some sections
of the South higher temperatures have en-
%couraged freer buying of summer goods
and made for more cheerful advlces as
to the wheat and cotton crops. Agree
ment is general that retailers stocks the
country over are large, that reduction
sales are numerous, and that filling IN
orders from jobbers and manufacturers
are a negligible quantity as yet. 1t IS
noted that fall trade reports are good in
most sections, in q few being in advance
of a year ago, but there are, coincidental-
ly, a few reports of cancellations of bust
ness booked, mainly in the Southwest,
or requests for the withholding OF ship
mentS. and for extensions on payments on
past business.
