listened to the reading of each count.
Upon being asked her true name by

who was with her, answered that she
would stand trial under the name as
given in each Indictment.

COAL DEALERS
WAR ON IN
SPOKANE

Charges of nature that may
open up the entire coal situation in
Spokane and have a direct bearing
on the fuel business next winter
are made by Clarence Marsh, mana
ger of the Wyoming Coal Co..
against Dexter Shoudy, of the Con-
,r6merss Fuel & Ice. The fight has
been started by Marsh severing
business relations with the com
pany and replevining horses and
wagons used by the latter under a
working agreement. He also in
tends to seize bunkers rented to the
Consumers Co.
According to Marsh's charges,
Shoudy Is responsible for the in
crease in coal prices to a certain
extent last winter, and is planning
to control the coal business with
the object Of raising prices next
winter.
Marsh shows figures to prove
that coal can be sold and delivered
in Spokane for IS per ton, netting
81 per ton profit. He says it costs
s6.45 at the mines and that no
change has been made or is con.
templated in mine prices.
Marsh claims further that the In.
ternational Coal & Coke Co. and
Alberta Fuel Co. are lined up with
him against the Consumers Co. on
account of its methods of doing
business. and declares he is able
and willing to prove every allega.

THE SEYMOUR LINE
The Running of Cars Will Be
 Commenced T0.Morr0W.

The Connecticut company did not run cars over the new line along the Nau- gatuck river from Naugatuck to Sey- mour to-day, but expects to do so to- morrow and arrangements have been made at the local end of the line to start at 5:52 in the morning. The last car will leave New Haven for Waterbury over the new line about Il o'clock and connections from Bridgeport can be made at Derby about the same time. Until July 15 the fare over the new route will be forty-five cents and on that date the fare between Derby and New Haven will be cut to fifteen cents. It is now twenty cents and as the ride Is merely about thirty-five minutes 1t is said to be the dearest trolley ride in the state.
 However, if the expectations of the general traffic manager A. B. Smith and of general manager John K. Pun derford are realized, expresses will be DtIWctu W anu ANSW Haven and Bridgeport in compara- lively short time and the fare will be about half a cent a mile. This law rate seems to be the ambition of MT Smith to secure. It is in operation in only one part of the state so far, that is between Whitney avenue and Savin Rock, New Haven, the fare be- ing only nickel.
 Another idea of MT Smiths is to establish trolley offices in large cen- ters where one can buy his ticket for the whole trip, which will do away with the bother of diving into ones pockets for nickel every five or ten minutes en route. The reason for postponing the opening of the line was that at the last moment it was dis covered that the Naugatuck Valley Electric Tramway company, which built the road failed to officially trans fer the property to the Connecticut company. ....r.

THE METER QUESTION
Judge Thomas Renders Decision
 of Interest to Waterbury.

Judge Thomas of the supreme court rendered a decision at Brooklyn Saturday which has some interest for Waterbury people, especially those who are not satisfied with the way the water department has been dis posing of the city's supply of water from the reservoirs. The question in Brooklyn was as to the right of the municipality to install meters in pri- vate residences and the matter was disposed of Saturday for the present at least by Judge Thomas, who takes the ground that the water depart ment has no right to put a meter in private property. The dispatches sent out regarding the decision con- tain none of the judges reasons, but the fact that the plaintiffs have won shows that after all Waterbury peo- pie who have taken similar position were not such fools as some would have the public believe. The court of appeals may not agree with the finding rendered by Judge Thomas, but even so when a judge of the supreme court is on record against the legality of meters in private property there must be something in it. Of course the real sore spot in Waterbury was the sliding scale of prices which worked in favor of the large consumer. The present admin istration has remedied this some, but much yet remains to be done before all price will be regulated so all pay a flat rate. Where people get mixed up on this vexed question of water is that many forget the difference be- tween a water plant owned by the people and one in the hands of a private corporations. So far small consumers have not made anything out of their connection with the water business, but just the same thereis something in it for them, but if they want to get it they will have to keep up the agitation for a fiat rate and no meter for all water used for domestic purposes.
