COAL CONSPIRACY
CHARGES ON TRIAL
Union Pacific and Railroad
Agents Accused of Driving
Dealer to Wall

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 1.-Hearing
of the case of the United States against
the Union Pacific coal company, the
Union Pacific railway company, Everett
Buckingham, former traffic manager of
the Oregon Short Line, and j. NJ.
Moore, western sales agent of the
Union Pacific coal company, in which
those persons and corporations were
charged with conspiracy to drive David
]. Sharp out of the coal business in
this city. was begun in the United
States district court today.
The exploitation of this case before
the interstate commerce commission in
1906 created sensation, and it was
followed by an investigation by a COM
mittee of the Utah legislature in 1907.
From 1903 until July, 1906, Sharp
was coal dealer in this city, III July,
1906. he was forced to suspend through
inability to secure any more coal, this
action following an advertisement by
him to the effect that he would sell
storage coaf' so cents a ton cheaper
than the advertised price of other
dealers.
Previous to this a reduction of SO
cents a ton by the railroads and coal
companies had been made to the retail
dealers. who, however, with the excep-
ton of Sharp, had agreed to maintain
the old prices.
Sharp refused to enter the agree
ment, and on account of this he alleged
that the railroads refused to haul his
COAL the coal companies Cancelled his
orders and he was driven out of busi-
ness.
Counsel for the defendants denied the
existence of any such combination or
conspiracy.
On the witness stand Sharp told of
an interview with Moore, who said that
if he did not stop advertising coal for
$475 ton his shipments would be dis
continued. He was unable to procure
Wyoming coal after July %, 1906, al
though other dealers continued to re-
ceive regular shipments He appealed
to the traffic manager, Mr.. Bucking gham,
and to General Manager w. H. Ban

ceived no encoura cement

CALLS CONFERENCE
ON CONSOLIDATION
Frank w. BiIger of Joint Com
mittee of Commercial Bodies
Invites Legislators

OAKLAND Dec. 1.-F'rank w. Bilger.
chairman of the joint committee on
consolidation, which is composed of the
chamber of commerce and the mer-
chants exchange has invited the en-
tire state legislative delegation from
Alameda county to conference with
the committee at the Hotel Athens to-
morrow evening, when plans for legis-
lation. will be discussed.
This conference follows upon the re-
suits of the canvass on general elecA
tion day of the east side cities for sig
natures to a petition which requests
the state legislature to pass such bills
as will enable the committees on this
side of the bay TO form a consolidated
city and county. The petitions neted
a total of $4,000 signatures. The sem
timent was virtually unanimous among
the voters, and especially was this
true of the eastern suburbs of Oak
land 1t was reported to the COM
mittee that a strong change in senti-
ment as to consolidation had also been
uncovered in Alameda and there was
no doubt that large section of Berke-
ley was in favor of the proposed ANAL
gamation. Chairman Bilger, speaking
of the general situation, said:
There is absolutely no argument to
be made against consolidation We
have the names of more than $4,000
voters to petitions asking for the neces-
sary enabling legislation. We will pre-
sent our plans before this legislative
delegation so that the proper bills may
be drafted.
"Consolidation is the solution of the
burdensome tax problem that is con-
fronting every property owner, large
and small, in Oakland and Berkeley,
Alameda and the suburbs. We have
the campaign under strong headway
and shall expect our representatives to
put through the needed laws. Be-
sides inviting the state delegation, 1
have also sent invitations to repre-
sentatives of Alameda and Berkeley's
commercial organizations as we'll as
to suburban clubs.
I'VE propose to effect a consolidated
city and county, the geographical
boundaries of which and the form of
the new government to be considered
after we get our enabling act through" "

rendered today by Commissioner Lane
of the interstate commerce commission

able to see why the carrier that had
delivered the shipment to the con-
signee, who had surrendered his bill
of lading and accepted shipment.

shipment merely because the consignee
alleged that the commodity was not

organization

WASHINGTON. Dec. Apparently
the talk Of reorganization of the navy
with staff organization to resemble
that adopted for the army has been
brought to a conclusion by Secretary
Newberry, who has changed the regu-
lation relating to the general board
OF the navy, which now is limited to
seven members, by adding the words,
and such general officers as the ssecre-
tary of the navy may direct"
With such a provision it will be
possible to add to the general board
as many officers as may be necessary
TO perform all the practical work, such
as is accomplished by the general staff
of the army, although under this plan
the secretary will not surrender his
power over the naval organization.
1t is understood that Secretary New
berry is in sympathy with legislation
along that line. after an organization
capable of effective work has been Sc
cured. but he believes it should be
tested by practical enforcement before
1t is given the stability of law.
