GOODWIN CO. CALLS
SUIT A CONSPIRACY
Answer to Warren Miller's Ac-
ton Accuses Him of Stock
Jobbing Proceedings
Half Million Claimed as DAM
ages for Casting Doubt on
Value of Coalition
Especial Dispatch to The Call

RENO, New. Dec. 9.-W arren Miller Is
charged with entering into a conspiracy
to break the value of Coalition mining
stock in an answer filed here today by
the Nat c. Goodwin company. In addi-
tion the company asks for 100000 dam
ages. This proceeding brought to an
issue what promises to be one of the
most sensational suits in the history Of
Nevada.
Miller filed an action this week ask
ing, among other things, that a receiver
for the company be appointed. Miller
was one of the organizers of the com
pany, but several weeks ago he with
drew, receiving. it was stated, $500 for
his interests. Since that time Coalition
stock has jumped from 20 cents per
share to $3.50.
ing members of the Goodwin company,
says that when the price began to ad-
vance Miller wanted to back out of his
bargain. Failing in this, he and others
are charged with selling the stock short
and it is said that their only hope to
recoup lies in breaking the market or
casting a doubt on the standing of the
Goodwin company Because of this, the
Goodwin company says that damage to
the extent of s500.0O0 has been done.
Miller stated today that he intends to
press his suit and that he can now
promise the public very sensational de-
velopments when the matter is finally
brought to trial.

SAYS PLANET MARS
HAS WATER YAPQR
Professor Percival Lowell and
Assistants to Measure MOis-
ture in Atmosphere
Discovery by Spectrum Relied
Upon to Prove the Exist
ence of Life

BOSTON. Dec. s.-Prof PercivaI
Lowell announced today that his assist
ants at his observatory at Flagstaff.
Arfz.. have determined that there is
water vapor on Mars and that it is
measurable. 1t betrays itself in lines
OF the spectrum.
There has been much controversy
with reference to the atmosphere Of
Mars and its qualities. Those scientists
who discountenance the idea that there
is life on the planet have known their
point could be proved if the absence of
an atmosphere could be shown. while
Professor Lowell and his staff have
been at work seeking what evidence
there might be in favor of an atmos-
phere.
Photographs taken about a year ago
by DR.. V. N Slipher at Flagstaff con-
tanned certain spectrum lines which,
Professor Lowell states, clearly indi-
cate water vapor on Mars.
These Investigations have proved. ac-
cording to the professor, that Mars has
some such water vapor that when it is
added to the water vapor in the earth's
atmosphere observers on the earth can
tell that there has been an addition

INCREASE IN RATES
Fear of Interstate Commerce In
yestigatiOn Scares Railroads
Back to Old Scale

Following the action taken by the
its increased rate schedule, it was re-
ported yesterday that the Southern Pa
cific and the Santa Fe would cancel in
whole or in part the higher tariffs an
nounced for the first of the year. While
no official statement was made, the re-
port was current in commercial circles
that the proposed freight schedule
would meet the same fate as the eX-
press rates. 1t was stated that the ex
press rates were withdrawn because the
company did not desire at this time to
submit to rigid investigation as to its
earnings and system of charges. 1t
was further stated that the Southern
Pacific shared in this unwillingness to
lay bare its secrets.
The protest will be pressed, neverthe-
less, and in case the officials of the
company persist in enforcing the higher
schedule the interstate commerce COM
mission will be requested to delve to
the roots of the matter. This will en-
tail an inquiry into the financial organ
ization of the Hartman lines, the phys
ical value of the properties, the earn
ings, speculative enterprises of Harri
man himself, and will lead to a scru-
tiny of all stock and bond issues. Such
an investigation al this time, it is inti
mated, would greatly embarrass the
company's executive, and it was sug
gested yesterday that he would rather
forego the increased revenue that the
new rates would bring than place his
operations under public searchlight.
In some instances the shippers believe
they have made out such strong case
that the transportation companies will
regard it to their own interest to with
draw certain portions of the schedule.
In this way, it is predicted, basis of
compromise may be reached.
Formal communications were ad-
dressed yesterday to II. A. Jones of the
freight department of the Southern Pa
cific and Howard Chambers of the Santa
Fe on behalf of the executive committee
of 16 appointed at Saturdays mass
meeting. These communications noti-
fed the traffic officials that decision
had been reached that all interests
should be represented at the coming
conference. Both the traffic bureau of
the Merchants exchange and the Cali
fornia traffic association will name
agents to discuss the situation with the
transportation companies.
No replies were received yesterday
from either President Hartman of the
Southern Pacific or President Ripley Of
the Santa Fe to the kilograms sent the
day before asking them to cancel the
proposed rate schedules 1t is expected
that replies will be received today

He Noticed It, Too.

A one-armed man entered restaur- ant at noon and seated himself next to dapper little other-people's. business man. The latter at once noticed his neighbor's left sleeve hanging loose and kept eying it in how-did-it'hap- pen sort of way. The onearmed man paid no attention to him, but kept on eating with his one hand. Finally the inouisitiye one could stand it no long CT. He changed his position little, cleared his throat, and said: "l beg pardon, sir, but 1 see you have last an arm."
 The one-armed man picked up his sleeve with his right hand and peered anxiously into it.
