TO SELL NO MORE
Railroads Are Preparing to Quit
Coal Business.
Will Mine Only Sufficient for
Their Own Use.
THE NEW RATE LAW
Is Expected to Have Effect of
Adding to Their Profits
In Localities Where They Own
All the Mines.

New York, Dec. 19.-The Journal of
Commerce this morning says:
1t is learned that the Union Pacific
directors have, in common with direc-
tors of other roads owning and oper-
atlng coal mines, been discussing the
question of the segregation of the coal
and transportation departments in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
rate law of last year. The provisions
OF this law will prohibit them on and
after May L. from transporting any ar
ticle or commodity other than timber,
manufactured or produced by them.
The Interpretation given the law by the
attorneys for the Union Pacific is that
the company may produce and trans
port its own coal for it's own use in
transportation or otherwise. but shall
not sell such coal (from it's own rnines)
before or after it has been transported
In accordance with this Interpretation
of the law, it is planned by the Union
racine to keep its coal mines for its
own exclusive use
They will be operated sufficiently to
supply the Union Pacific system when
ever the coal of the mines can be de-
hvered cheaper than from other sec
tions. but consumers, even in the COM
pany's district. will be compelled to
means the directors believe, that the
Union Pacific will receive a larger and
more profitable haul on new traffic.
The Union Pacific Coal company is
owned almost exclusively by the Union
Pacific Railway company. Its entire
capital stock of $5,000.0O0 is so owned.
The coal company has So. 900. 900 out
standing In per cent bonds. of which
$62S,000 only are in the hands of the
public, the remaining $4,372, 600 being

COOLEST OF WINTER.
Minimum Temperature This Morning
Was Eight Above Zero.

The temperature at o'clock this
morning stood at degrees above zero
which was the lowest temperature of
the winter by about 10 degrees and
though the cold has moderated since
that time the mercury has stood near
enough the freezing point to make out
door exposure unpleasant. The past "a
hours have been the coolest of the sea-
son and as has been predicted the gas
pressure was SO low that actual suffer-
ing occurred in the extreme parts of
the city where the supply pipe is of a
small size
There is no relief in sight and the
forecast for the state indicates much
colder weather in the central and west
ern part of the state which means that
the mercury will in all proba bilities
remain about where it has been as far
as this locality is concerned. If there
is change of any kind a drop of sew
eral degrees may be expected unless
the barometer should rise and in that
case the temperature may be a few de-
grees higher.
When the low temperature was
reached at 4 o'clock this morning there
was hardly breath of air stirring but
as the temperatures have risen the
wind has followed and at o'clock was
blowing from the south at the rate of
10 miles an hour. The following are

HE WAS AFTER $50, 900.
A Man Caught Trying to Rob a Car
Containing Gold Bullion.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-Charged with
making a daring attempt to rob a, car
on the Buffalo express containing gold
bullion while the train was standing
William A. Hewitt, who gives his ad-
dress at 1926 West Fifteenth street.
New York, was today held in heavy
bail for a further hearing.
The train had been made UP and was
scheduled to leave at $40 p. m. via
the Reading railway and the Lchigh
Valley. One of the express cars con-
tained $4,000 in gold bullion, which
was being shipped by the government
to Buffalo.
The alleged robbery was discovered
quite by accident. A yardman while
at work on a track adjoining the one
on which the express train stood heard
a peculiar grating noise and on in
vestigating discovered Hewitt down
under the bullion car at work with a
on a gas pipe. The yardman gave
the alarm and Hewitt was pursued
through the street. He was caught be-
fore he could escape in the crowd OF
Christmas shoppers and taken to the
Central police station. About the same
time Hewitt was discovered the lights
in the car went out and an examina-
tion of the gaspipe showed that 1t had
been punctured.
At the hearing today the police ex-
hibited the saw left behind by Hewitt
in his flight and a section of the gas
on the theory that Hewitt probably
expected to enter the car after the
lights had been extinguished and loot
it unobserved. Hewitt is believed to
have been assisted by accompnces and
the police are looking for two other
men Hewitts bail was f1xed at So
OOO He is said to have been employed
about the station loading express cars

shining bullion.
