COAL TRUST CASE ON

SALT LAKE, Dec. Hearing OF
the case of the United States against
the Union Pacific Coal company, the
Union Pacific Railroad company, Ev.
erett Buckingham, former traffic man
ager of the Oregon Short Line and ].
M. Moore, western sales agent of the
Union Pacific Coal company, in which
those persons and corporations were
charged with conspiracy to drive Day
i'd j. Sharp out of the coal business
in this city was begun in the United
States district court today. The e
ploitation of this case before the in
terstate commerce commission in
1906 created a sensation and it was
followed by an investigation by a
committee Of the Utah legislature in
1907.
From 1908 until July 1906, Sharp
was a coal dealer in this city. In 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 coal' so cents a ton cheaper
than the advertised price of other
dealers.
Mr.. Sharp OF the witness stand told
Of an interview with Mr.. Moore dur
ing which Mr.. Moore informed him
that if he did not stop advertising
coal for $4.75 a ton his shipments
would be discontinued.
A material point in Mr.. Sharp's tes-
timony was his statement that he had
made payment for his coal directly
to the railroad company. The hearing
will be continued tomorrow morning.

HARTMAN AND HILL FIGHT FOR
TRANscoNTINENTAL.
BILLINGS IS A FACTOR.
Burlington n N. p. Connection
at This Point Causes Hartman to
Speed His Overland Trains to Meet
Terrific Pace That Has Been Set.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 1.-The Herald
tomorrow will say that the behind an
order just received for a change in
the schedule Of the Oregon railway
lines, the Salt Lake-Portland express
is mapped out an elaborate campaign
between two great transcOntinental
railroad systems. The fruit Of victory
will be the cream of the through pas
senger business and the choicest mail
contracts between Chicago and Port
land, Oregon.
By speeding up the trains on the
Union Pacific to Granger, Wyo., on
the Short Line to Huntington, Ore,
and on the Oregon Railroad and Navi-
cation road to Portland, the Herald
continues, it is hoped to reduce the
time for the through trip by Ave
hours at least. This contest against
time is inspired by the competition
of the Spokane Falls and Northern
from the Northern Pacific connec-
ton at Pasco, Wash, to Portland,
along the north bank of the Columbia
river.
The Spokane Falls and Northern
Pacific is a Hill enterprise.
1t reduces by many hundred miles
the trackage between Chicago and
the Oregon metropolis.
With the Northern Pacific to Bill
ings, Mont, and the Burlington from
Billings to Chicago, it forms almost
an air line from the ocean to the
lakes. With 1t eliminated, the Harri-
man system could easily maintain it's
but with the Spokane
Falls and Northern as a factor the
middle west will need every ounce OF
steam its locomotives can make. Be
next week the Portland ex-
press will leave Salt Lake at 10:45 D..
M, instead of 11:45 to connect with
the Granger-Huntington flyer, whose
running time is to be reduced 45 min
utes between those points and Poca-
tello.

John Donovan, who has an Irish

charged with picking the pocket Of
Pete Batko, an Italian, who stopped
in Billings on his way from the coast
to Denver, Colo.
Batko was in q saloon buying a
few drinks, when Donovan '.butted"
In and while talking to Batko, picked
his watch from his overalls pocket,
and left the chain. It was cleverly
done and when Batko took occasion
w. look for his time piece a few mo-
ments later he found that his watch
had vanished.
He accused Donovan, who grew
wroth and struck Batko on the nose,
infiicting a severe cut. Batko then
went to the police and explained his
case.
The watch was located in a pawn

Mr.. Batko will wear his watch in

strangers are not always honest. Also
he has some sticking plaster on his
nose, which attests to the fact that
some men have a strong right punch.

cess by the count regarding her trave
in Italy with De Sagan before thei,
marriage. 1t should be consideed, the
lawyer declared, that the princess was
not a young girl travelling with hel
iance, but a divorced woman, in the
company of the man she is going to
marry. Furthermore, she is an Amer
lean. Diminishing the charge brought
against the prince and Nine. Gould
while in New York, M. Clemenceau
came to more serious charges OF mis-
conduct at Versailles. He admitted
that De Sagan had stepped out of
Mime. Gould's window in the hotel Des
Reserverar at II O'clock in the morn
ing, but he pointed out that this was
not the window of her bedroom. but
the window Of her salon, and as the
salon was situated on the ground
moor of the hotel, it was quite natural
for the prince to emerge into The gar
den by the tall window that in French
houses, often serve as doors.
M. Clemenceau in presenting the
princes side Of the case emphasized
the fact that the courts of France al
ways had decided that the second mar
riage did not affect the rights Of par
ents with regard to their children,
evan in 0acnc uyh W. ~ %I,~ -
rlage was with the alleged accomplice
in adultery.
M. Clemenceau then summed up the
contentious of the prince as follows:
THE count had formally declared
that he would withdraw the suit if
the princess separated from her hus-
band. The facts that the count had
offered to prove were irrelevant and
even if they were established they
had no bearing on the education Of
the children. Furthermore, these al
legations were denied by the princess.
The princess, since her marriage to
her present husband, has fulfilled in
every way ner duty towards her chill
dren. She had not sought to alien
ate their affections from their father.
On the other hand, the count had com
mitted the objectionable fault of
bringing out the present scandal. to
the detriment Of the children, he had
used language which Inundated their
mother and in letters to them he had
called De Sagan a bandit" M. Gle
menceau then denied that De Sagan
his marriage had in any way
lnterfereu with the education of The
children. Consequently, he asked the
court, taking into consideration the
princess expressed declaration that
never had opposed and never
would oppose in the future the exer.
Else Of the counts legal rights over
he education of the children, provided
'nly that he did not attempt to poison
heir minds to dismiss the suit.
