PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 21.-Standing in
the United States circuit court for
Ave hours today Jas. c. McReynolds,
special assistant to the United States
attorney general, unfolded the alleg-
ed iniquities of the so-called anthra-
cite coal trust and charged that
seven of the nine coal carrying rail-
roads entering the hard coal fields OF
Pennsylvania are in a conspiracy to
stile trade. He asked the court to
issue an Injunction to break up the
alleged monopolistic control of the
dom estic fuel and also pleaded that
the acquisitions by some of the rail-
roads of stock in competing railroads
and coal companies he declared a vio-
lation of the provision of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
McReynolds declared that the Tenn
pie Iron company in its organization.
clearly showed a conspiracy among
the coal roads to control the anthra-
cite trade to tidewater at New
York. He said that when an inde-
pendent company proposed to build
an Independent railroad the Temple
in turn acquired the largest
of the Independent mines and tho
proposed railroad to tidewater never
was built.
He also told of the acquisition by
the Reading company, holding con-
cern Of the Reading railway and the
Reading Coal and Iron company and
of the acquisition by the Reading
company, of the Jersey Central rail-
road, competing line to New York
harbor, which in turn owned the Le-
high and Wilkesbarre Coal company.
This Reading-Jersey Central combin-
alton he said owned 63 per cent Of
the unmined coal in the anthracite
regions.

Philadelphia. Pa. Feb. 21.-Follow
ing day of rioting and bloodshed,
and the sensational arrest Of c. o.
Pratt, organizer of the street car men,
an attack was made late tonight on
the elevated railroad. It was the first
time that this line Of travel had been
interfered with and when thee police
authorities learned that three bullets
had been fired into one Of the cars,
there was feeling of apprehension as
to what tomorrow will bring forth.
AS the train approached the Forty
phia three bullets were fired through
the windows of the foremost car.
Fortunately there were but few trav-
elers riding on the train and no one
was injured.
The first fatality as the result of
the strike rioting occurred tonight
when an unidentified man died in a
hospital. He was fatally INJURED today
in a clash between a mob and the po-
lice at Broad and Spring Garden
streets. Knocked down and trampled
upon, he was found lying unconscious
after the street had been finally clear
ed by the police, and died without re-
gaining consciousness.
Policeman Fred Tyson, whose skull
was fractured in riot at Poplar and
Franklin streets, is also in hospital:
His injury will probably prove fatal.
That general strike of the labor
organizations fthis city will be call
ed before the week is out, possibly
tomorrow, was positively stated at

night by John J. Murphy, president Of

This will involve at least 100000 men
and women in this city. Nothing can
stop a general strike now. I can't
stop it. With the a> of q o.

RECORD OF REVIVAL
MEETINGS To DATE.

The discourse last evening was of
the usual standard. 1t even exceeded
all former efforts. The art of rapidity
and distinct speech combined with a
dramatic talent lend the sermons an
unusual but not unwonted atmosphere.
BY those methods the speaker is ca
pable of condensing a lecture of over
an hour into fifteen or twenty min
utes.
1t is a noteworthy fact that among
the converts third are business, pro-
fessional, or trades men This is due
partly to the lack of affected sentiment
which men despise in the sermons
Tomorrow the crowd will break all
records. even those made during the
meeting unless the unexpected happens
and happens hard.

He will lecture there tonight and re-
turn early Sunday morning. There

WORK ON NEW
RAILROAD To
BEGIN SOON

Work on the lines of the Eastern
Illinois Traction Co. which will con-
meet Hammond with Dolton. Riverdale
Blue Island and Harvey will commence
within two weeks.
This word was given out by Manager
Green of the line today. Green also
said positively that the line will be
completed this year This means that
a new territory with a population OF
at least $4,000 people will be brought
within 80 minutes of the business
houses of Hammond.
The work of construction will begin
at both ends of the line and will work
together. 1t is not believed that II
will require many months to complete
the work of construction.
In fact it is possibility that the
towns mentioned above will have ac-
cess to Hammond in time to do their
holiday trading. This improvement
will make Hammond the center Of the
greatest system of street railway lines
in the Calumet region.

how. not having had the time to devote
time to it,
No suggestion was to be gained from
the speaker as to whether some fac
tional discord in the party might have
possibly induced him to lay aside all
aspiration. His only reason given was
that he is too busy in his new line OF
work to be dallying with politics.
With the decision of Carter, the
democrats lose one OF their strongest
men for the county ticket, and they
will have to do some tall hustling
between now and Aug. 31st to find a

SHORE To Bull D
Board of Public Works Be
lieves It Can Force De-
pots Erection.

The board of public works believes
that it has found a way of compelling
the South Shore line to build the long
promised depot on North Holman
street. The board has succeeded in
getting a certified check for $4,000. to
be forfeited in case the company fails
to build the promised depot within for
ty-f1ve days.
The board found an opportunity to
exact fthis condition from the COM
pany when the latter attempted to lay
its second track on Chicago avenue and
across the various streets. Had the
company failed to comply with the re-
quest the board would have prohibited
the laying of the second track by in
junction proceedings.
Since the franchise was first granted
the South Shore line, the city has ex-
tended its fire limits to the north, and
consequently the company must now
build a fireproof building. whereas If
IL had taken steps immedia tely 1t might
have erected frame building.

REDUCED
BY BRYAN
"Peerless Leader" Takes
Conceit Out of Democrats
by Showing Them That
Republicans Are Good
Party Men.
TINES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

indianapolis, Ind, August 2o.-When
W. ]. Bryan was in this city few
days ago he met and held conferences
with a number OF the Democratic lead
ers, and during these talks he gave
these leaders some very sound advice.
They were telling him of the political
situation in Indiana. and some of them
pointed out to him that there had been
considerable friction among the vari-
Gus factions OF the Republican party
in this state. Bryan was told that
these factional troubles within the
party ranks was going to benefit the
Democrats to a very great extent, and
that thousands Of Republicans would
vote the Democratic ticket next fall.
This, they said. would be the result of
the division among the insurgent and
regular Republicans.
But Bryan reduced the swelling in
the heads of these Democratic leaders.
He told them that they should not de-
ceive themselves with the idea that
they might expect anything from the
Republicans this year
You must not get the idea that be-
cause the Republicans are divided into
two camps, the insurgents and the
| regulars. that you will get their votes"
Bryan is said to have told them. The
regular Republican will vote their par
| ty ticket for the simple reason that
| they are just what their name Implies,
regular party men. You cannot ex-
pect any help from them for that rea-
SON And you cannot expect any of
the insurgents to vote the Democratic
ticket. because they are in control of
the organization and are running
things this year"
II is said that this statement Of the
situation by Bryan gave the Democratic
Headers something TO think about, and
| that II presented the matter TO them in
a different light from that in which
they had seen it before.
Judging from what is heard from
Republicans all over the state Bryan
had the situation sized up exactly
