COAL PROPERTIES
PUZZLE DIRECTORS
Railroad May Form New Company
to Dispose of Its Coal Holdings,
Thereby Evadins Provision of
Commodities Clause.

NEW. YORK, June 24.-Directors OF
Miss Phoebe Shows road of anthra-
cite" are in session today, and it is
understood that the chief subject OF
their cogitations is what to do with
the coal properties owned by the sys-
tenn
The report is current that of the
various plans being considered by the
directors of the Delaware, Lackawana
& Western company for disposing OF
it's coal properties, as required by
tn s spr me court decision in the COM
moGities clause case, the one most
favored is for the organization of
selling company, which will purchase
from the railroad company it's stocks
of coal, present and future, and lease
the properties, trestles, coal pockets,
etc.. used in the delivery of coal to
consumers.
1t is said to be probable that large
cash dividend will be declared in con-
nection with this plan to enable the
stockholders to purchase stock in the
new selling company. This would
leave the control of the selling COM
pany in the hands of the same inter
ests which own the railroad company,
although the two concerns would re-
main legally Independent, thus con-
forming strictly to the requirements
of the commodities clause decision.

In Eastern Part OF City.

The mangled remains of Daniel
w. Rogers were found just east
of the Hayti crossing Of the
Southern railway last Sunday
morning, and all the investiga-
ton SO far has failed to elicit
how the accident occurred.
The head Of the unfortunate
man, ground into pulp, turned
into a mass Of jelly, the disigu-
ration being such that some close
friends could not identify him,
His right arm was broken, mash.
ed and torn from the tips of his
fingers to the shoulder. Other
wise the body was not injured.
The finding of the body was
reported to the police and the
coroner was summoned, anC
two sons of the deceased were
summoned. to identify the man,
which they did very easily, al
though none of the face was left
except the chin and a portion
of the mustache. The only
thing found that looked at al
suspicious was the finding of TIVE
hats near the body, or along TIT
track. The only possible ex
PLANTATION is that some one on thu
train lost a hat during the after
noon before or on the train, al
no other evidence was to b,
found that foul play had beer
enacted.
The deceased left a wife ant
three sons to mourn his death
The remains were carried II
