WIPES OUT EXCESS.
Decision Of Interstate Commission In
Coal Rate Case.

Bristol, Tenn, Feb. 15.-Copies of
the report and decision of the Interstate
Corporation Commission in the case of
the Black Mountain Coal and Coke Com
pany and others against the Southern
Railway Company and others, involving
the relative coal rates from the Appa-
lachia and Black Mountain districts in
Virginia and the Coal Creek district in
Tennessee, to points in the Sou.h At
lantic region, via Morristown, Tenn,
were received here today.
The Commission wipes out as unjust
the ten cents per ton excess charged
upon coal shipments from the Black
Mountain district over shipments from
the Appalachia district in Wise comfy,
Va, and restricts the Southern Railway
to a maximum differential of 25 cents a
ton in favor of the haul from the Coal
Creek district as compared with the
haul from the Virginia district. The
decision gives the Black Mountain oper-
ations an equal chance with other Vir-
ginia coal operations.

IMPORTANT TIMBER CASE DECIDED.
Contract Made by N B. DOtSOn With
Charles n. Kirk and Others
Annulled.

Judge Henry c. Mcdowell has just
decided a very important timber suit in
the United States court for the western
district of Virginia over the sale of
white oak trees in Dickinson county
and sent an order to Abingdon to be en-
tered in the case
In the spring of 1901, N B. Dotson,
who at that time lived at Wise, Va, but
now resides in New York, sold to Chas.
M. Kirk and several other parties, of
Youngstown, Ohio, so. 600 white oak
trees in Dickenson county. Va, at the
price of 81 per acre. The purchasers at
once put their men to work branding up
the trees, and they branded up some
Is, 600 to 10000 and stopped work and
refused to brand up any more of the
trees, the purchasers claiming that Dot
son had showed up to them very fine
tracts that they understood they were
getting in this contract, that they found
that they were not going to get. such as
the Chase timber on Pound and Cranes s
Nest rivers and the Mullins timber of
Georges Fork, and they refused to brand
any further until they got these tracts.
Dotson, in June, 1901, instituted suit
in the circuit court of Wise county
against Charles M. Kirk and others for
| $50, 900 damages and Kirk and others
removed this damage suit to the United
States court at Abingdon. Then Kirk
and others proceeded to obtain from the
United States court an injunction en-
joining and restraining Dotson from
proceeding with his damage suit be-
cause they claimed that the contract
for the sale of this timber which Dotson
sued on had been obtained by misrepre-
sentatious, and this Injunction suit has
been pending in the United States cir
cult court, at Abingdon, since 1901.
Dispositions in this case have been taken
in Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, from
1000 to 5000 pages of dispositions being
filed in the case. Charles NJ. Kirk and
others were represented in this case by
Judge VIM. E. Burns, of Lebanon. Va,
and Senator Roland E. Chase, of Clint
wood, Va, until Judge Burns went on
the bench. Then Daniel Trigg, of Alb
ingdon, took his place in the case Dot
son was represented by Wears & Peery,
of Wise, Va, and White & Penn, of
Abingdon, Va
The court in its decree perpetuates
the injunction granted in this case and
cancels and annuls the contract made by
Dotson with Kirk and others for the
sale of this timber, and the court ap-
points Mayo Cabell, of Big Stone Gap,
as special commissioner to ascertain
and report to the court what sum Kirk
and others should recover of Dotson to
tcompensate them for the expenses and
actual losses incurred by them by rea-
son of this contract. Kirk and others
are claiming about SIP, 900 from Dotson
for the money paid to him and on their
expenses. -Bluefeld Telegraph 10th.

800 DIE IN
THEATRE FIRE
Moving Picture Film Catches Fire and
Flames Quickly Spread to Every
Part Of the Building.

Mexico City, Mex, Feb. Is. Nearly
300 people were burned to death and
many were injured in fire which de-
stroyed the Flores Theatre in the city
of Acapulco last night. The news of
the disaster only reached this city this
afternoon, telegraphic communication
with that place having been destroyed
last night and today, owing to the fact
that the telegraph Office adjoined the
theatre and was burned and all wires
put out of commission.
The Flores Theatre was a wooden
structure and last night over 1000 peo-
pie crowded into it to witness a special
performance given in honor of Governor
Damian Flores of the State of Guer-
rere, who was visiting the post at the
time. One of the numbers of the pro-
gram consisted of a series of moving
pictures. While the operator was ex-
hibing these film caught fire and the
blaze quickly communicated to some
bunting which had been used for decor
ative purposes. In a short time the
flame spread to all parts of the build
ing.
There were but three narrow exits
and the panic-stricken audience rushed
to them, many falling to be crushed to
death and their bodies choking way of
escape to others.
Owing to the rapidity with which fire
spread and its intense heat it was in
possible to attempt rescue work and
those imprisoned Were literally roasted
alive, as the fire burned with little
smoke, and were sufocated.

Dante TO BOSTIC.
Regular Passenger Service Established
On tie c. C. 40.

Bristol. Va, February 15.-The first
regular train service on the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio Railway between
Dante, Va, and Bostic, N. c., was in
augurated today. A train going from
johnson City, Tenn, to Dante, Russell
county, Virginia, left Johnson City this
morning and made the round trip during
the day, carrying, besides officials of
the road, a number of prominent busi-
ness men of johnson City, together
with the usual number of passengers
who usually take advantage of the first
trip on new road. This road will now
be carrying coal regularly from the
Clinchfield properties into the Piedmont
region of North Carolina, where it will
connect with the Southern and Seaboard
Air Line for South Atlantic points.
In connection with the Inauguration
of the first service on this road. James
A. Blair, of the banking house of Blair
Co., of New York, is inspecting the
new road, with view to financing the
project to extend it northward from
Dante, Va, to the Ohio River. and
southwark from Bostic. n. c., to
Charleston, S. C. The road is already
being extended to Spartanburg, S. c.
When the extensions now proposed are
made, the c. c. & o. will be one of the
most important trunk lines in the coun-
try, extending on a direct line from
Charleston to the commercial centers of
the Lake region at the North. 1t will
thus be a great monument to the enter
prise and determination of its president.
George l.. Carter, whose efforts have
made such road possible.

ANTI-SALOON DEAL
SEEN IN VIRGINIA
Richmond Paper Comes Out For Tucker
And Alleges Pact With Mann.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 13.-A political
sensation has been sprung in Virginia by
the publication in the Evening Journal,
of Richmond, an independent Demo-
cratic newspaper, of a red hot editorial
declaring for Harry st. George Tucker,
of Staunton, for governor, and alleging
bargain between the Democratic ma
chine leaders and the anti-saloon leaders
for the election of Judge William H.
Mann, of Nottaway county, the init
mated bargain being designated as an
''Unholy Alliance"
The editorial, which is front page,
double column, black type feature, calls
on the rank and file of the Democrats
and the rank and file of the saloon peo-
pie to rally around Tucker. The publ
cation is probably the foreshadowing OF
a sensational political upheaval in this
I State.
The News Leader, another afternoon
publication, also independent, in a spe
cial from staff correspondent who hac
been following the anti-saloon conven-
tion in Norfolk, says that call sorts oi
reports are in circulation regarding Ger
tain temperance leaders who have beer
to Washington within the last week tt
see the powers that be. >"
From the headquarters of Tucker it is
learned that an investigation will be
made of the alleged agreement between
the anti-saloon leaders and the Demo
cratic machine to further the candidacy
of Judge Mann as against Mr.. Tucker
who is also making the race on the
Democratic ticket. If this allegation
can be proven, it will unquestionably be
the boomerang of the campaign. II
is whispered that 80 per cert. of the
Democratic vote in Richmond will re.
fuse to enter the Democratic guberna-
torial primary, to be prepared to vote
the Republican ticket in the event Judge
Mann is nominated by the Democrats.
1t is also stated that efforts will bt
made to induce Carter Glass to re-entel
the race as an offset to the Mann alleged
combination, or that it will be insisted
that Henry C. Stuart recall his with
drawal. 1t is also alleged that the ma
chine cannot deliver to Judge Mann tn,
saloon vote in the cities, which vote will
more than likely rally around the stan
dard of Tucker.
Persons well versed in the politica
situation in Virginia say that if tn,
question of Statewide prohibition is sub
ted to the people it will win by 20, 600
1t is further said that the rank and fl,
of the anti-saloon forces will either re
pudiate the Norfolk convention declara
tion or insist upon an appeal next Janu
ary to the legislature for prohibition
enactment.

DARING HOLDUP
In The WEST
The Denver and Rio GFaude Nail Train
Held up and Robbers Escape With
$4,000 In Loot.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 13.-A hold-up of
the Denver and Rio Grande passenger
train No. 4 near Denver early this morn
ing was the work of three robbers, and
the robbery of the mail car gave them
loot of possibly $35, This is indi-
Gated by the investigation of the police
and railroad officials today.
So far no tangible clew to the identity
or whereabouts of the robbers has been
found, but it seems probable that the
men came to Denver and are now hiding
in this city.
Eighteen packages of registered mail
were secured. The robbery was re-
markable for its originality and daring.
1t took place within eight miles of Den
yer, within less than two miles of Fort
Logan, the United States military reser-
walton, and at spot where habitations
are plentiful. Yet so thorough was the
work of the robbers and so we'll were
their plans laid that they had fully an
hour and half start of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the hold-up
indicates that possibly a fourth man
was engaged in the robbery, that a rub
ber tired buggy was in waiting for the
actual hold-up men and that torpedoes
and red signal fires were used unsuc-
cessfully in an attempt to stop the train
before the automatic revolvers of the
two men on the engine tender succeeded
in doing so.
Amid fusillade of revolver shots
from one of the robbers, another forced
the mail clerk to open the door of his
car. The second robber then coolly
searched every piece of registered mail
in the car, threw the packages he de-
sired into sack and jumped off. At
the point of revolvers the engineer,
fireman, baggage man and mail clerks
were marched up the tracks distance,
then told to get back to their train. The
robbers then disappeared with their
money.
Armed forces of deputies and squads
of soldiers are searching the country
around Fort Logan and the foothills in
search of the bandits, but no trace OF
them has been found.
