VICTORY FOR OPERATORS.
Counsel For Coal Carrying Roads Re.
joices In Decision.

CounseI FOR Coal Carrying Roads Re-
joices In Decision.
New York, May 4.-The coal carry
ing railroads will be practically unaf-
fected in their business by the deci-
sion Of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States In the commodities cases. is
the opinion of Robert w. De Forest,
counsel for the companies.
Only in the case of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
company will changes in business
methods be necessitated by the deci-
sion, is Mr.. De Forests belief. and
pany for any length of time in the
handling of its coal products.
Mr.. De Forest said:
practically the decision of the SUI
preme court is in favor of the railroads
and the public and against the conten-
tion Of the attorney general that all
coal mined by the railroads which
had direct ownership in the coal and
that all coal mined by subsidiary coal
companies in which the railroad COM
panies had stock interest was barred
of interstate transportation by the
Hepburn act.
"Of the anthracite carriers only two,
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern and the Delaware and Hudson,
have any direct legal ownership in an
thracite coal. Both these companies
are authorized by their charters to
mine anthracite coal and to transport
it.
"All the other so called anthracite
carriers-that is, the Reading, the Cen
tral Railroad Of New Jersey, the Penn
sylvania railroad, the Lehigh Valley,
the Erie and the New York, Ontario
and Western, own stock in coal min
ing companies.
"The decision establishes the legality
of anthracite coal transportation by
these six last named companies-that
is, the transportation Of coal mined by.
companies in which they have stock
interest.
"The whole country is to be con-
graduated that the supreme court has
put practical Interpretation upon this
act. which does not prevent the free
transportation out OF Pennsylvania
into other states of commodity which
has become a necessity Of life, sub
stantially as heretofore"

HYDE WILL APPEAL.
May Not Go to Jail In France For
Reckless Autoing.

Paris, May An. Goff1ot. secretary
to James Hazen Hyde of New York,
says that an appeal will be taken from
the sentence imposed by default on
Mr.. Hyde of one months imprisOn-
ment and fine of 800 on the charge
that while in his automobile he ran
into a public taxicab last October and
injured passenger. Mr.. Hyde's
chauffeur was at the same time SEN
fenced to one months imprisonment
and a fine of $50.
M. Gofiot characterized this SEN
tence imposing the highest penalties
during Mr.. Hyde's absence as 'snap"
judgment. He said further that when
the facts were fully before the court
he expected that the penalty would be
reduced to a small fine.
Mr.. Hyde, who was at one time vice
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, is. still on an automobile
trip in the Riviera.

DIPLOMATS MARKED FOR DEATH
Correspondence of Deposed Mon

spirator Against Chris

Constantinople. May t.. Documen-
tary evidence has been discovered
among the records of the telegraph
office here showing that the deposed
sultan, Abdul Hamid, inspired the mas
sacres in the Adana district and that
they were to coincide with the political
events here.
Other papers have been found indi-
eating also that the conspirators at the
palace acted in the Sllltan's name in
preparing the military mutiny of April
IL. Lists of houses. with notes on the
kind of loot to be found therein, were
discovered on some of the prisoners
now in custody.
The arrangements included gen.
eral massacre of foreigners in Con-
stantinople, including the diplomatic
representatives, on April 24
Thirteen civilians and soldiers. SEN
fenced by the military courts to death
for murder, were hanged in different
parts Of Constantlnople.
Major Youssef, his son, and three
other men who killed the Syrian depu-
ty, Emir Mohammed Arsian, in front
of the parliament building were ex-
ecuted on the spot where they commit
ted the crime. Five others were hanged
at the entrance Of the ministry of war
and three men at the Stamboul end Of
the Galata bridge.
Upon the breast of each criminal
was pinned large placard in Turkish
that could be read at a considerable
distance setting forth the sentence Of
the court. s.
Major Youssef was commandant Of
the First battalion of the Seventh regi-
ment. Among the noncommissioned
officers executed was Hamdi Bin Yech-
ar, sergeant in the Fourth battalion
Of the Saloniki chausseurs. The men
executed on Galata bridge were guilty
of the murder of Lieutenant Ellis.
Major Youssef was the man who,
after the murder of Deputy Arsian,
made his way to the house Of parlia-
ment and in a speech denounced the
members for acting against the laws
of the Koran. Yechar was the man
who planned the details Of the revolt
VI anu WIN was
in chief and practically dictator of
Constantinople for the two days fol-
lowing. The other eleven men worked
under Yechar.
The new Turkish cabinet has re-
signed, and the political situation is
bewildering. No one can tell what the
outcome will be. This latest ministry
was organized only four days ago,
with Tewtik Pasha as grand vizier
The sultan has requested Tewfik
Pasha to consult with his colleagues
and reconsider his resignation, al
though there is much opposition on
the part of the members of parliament
to the composition of the cabinet and
to Tewfik Pasha himself, as it is con-
sidered that the ministers are too close
ly connected with the old order. The
cabinet may face the chamber, how
ever in the hope of securing a majori-

SUCH A MEMORY.

He could tell with strict correctness
And a marvellous directness
Just the day and year when Adam ate
the apple years ago.
And his great mind could remember
When the eighteenth of December
Fell on Wednesday or on Thursday.
though you wondered how he'd
know.
What he heard but once you bet it
Hit him SO he'd ne'er forget it;
He'd repeat the name of every fish or
animal or bird;
If play he was attending
He'd repeat from start to ending
Every syllable or gesture, every song
and every word
Shakespeare's dramas he could utter
Off the reel without a stutter,
And when travelling he'd remember
every station that he passed;
But the fact that he laid claim to
Was the fact he know the name, too,
OF every Vice President we've had
from first to last!

fatal injury during the terrific storm

When the hail and wind storm be-

Just as Mrs. Brown reached the
scene large hailstone hurtled
through the upper part of a heavy
window glass. A piece of falling glass
struck her in the chest That she was
not badly hurt was due to a heavy
dress she wore at the time. AS the
maid started to close the window a
glass was smashed and hail stone
as large as tea cup struck her in
the forehead. She staggered back
from the blow, blood streaming from
a jagged wound. Her injury was not
serious, but very painful

There's just one thing I'd like to know
About this gilded age:
/ hear it talked on every side.
Is 1t Mrs. Russell Sage?
The papers write about it, too
They surely cannot mean
To be thus disrespectful
To Mrs. Hetty Green!
There's Rockefeller; Morgan, too
Carnegie, Helen Could
They sure don't speak of her as aged
Or else I'm being fooled
II it was gilded youth they talked
/ wouldn't be so dense;
1 know that means rich young dude
Without two grains of sense
They say that if I'll read book
Twas writ by one Mark Twain
He'll tell me all about this age;
But that's an awful strain.
I'll tell YET I've an idea
You may think me daft
But don't they mean by gfIded age
The age of Billy Taft?
