DECISION HITS
THE RAILROADS
Few Line. Can No Longer
Control Coal Fields.
pecial bv United Press Wire.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Washington, April 4:-Nigorous and
immediate prosecutions of the Lehigh
Valley, Pennsylvania and several other
railroads for alleged violations of the
commodity laws of the Hupburn law
will follow yesterdays decision of the
supreme court. Amended bills will be
fled in the court at Philadelphia and
the cases will be pushed.
The decision indicates a way by
which the coal fields of Pennsylvania
may be removed from the domination
OF great transportation companies. II
reyerses the situation existing more
than two years ago, when the COM
modittes clause of the Hepburn rail-
road act was held to be ineffective.
Officials of the government believe a
means has been found for divorcing
the business of production from that
Of transportation.
The court holds that a railroad COM
pany must not own stock in a coal
concern shipping over its line.
Until the court announced It's conclu-
slons it was thought by the legal ex-
perts OF the government that the com
modittes clause of the Hepburn act
was irrevocably lost and that new leg
islation on the subject would be neces-
sary to curb the evil of dual owner
ship.
The effect Of the decision will be
that whenever the government can
prove that coal producing corporations
are nothing more than dummies"
formed by the railroads for the sole
purpose Of evading the prohibition Of
the commodities clause successful pros
ecutions may be instituted. The law
declared that q transportation COM
pany must have no interest whatever
n any commodities passing over its
lines.
The decision means that the depart
ment Of justice will now have an op-
portunity to prosecute the Lehigh Val
ley, the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western, the Pennsylvania and the
Central Railroad of New Jersey. 1t
will be alleged that these corporations
entirely own the stock In companies
organized for the production and sale
of coal.

VACATE HOTEL
Executor OF II artmann Estate
Has Given Netice.

1t is rumored today that Adrian
Lyon, executor of the estate of Will
lam Hartmann, deceased, had given
notice to William Miller to vacate
the Hartmann Hotel. When seen by

therefor.
He stated that here was no imme-
diate prospect of the hotel property
being sold or if it's being occupied
by any other tenant, although he
said it was for sale and had been for
a year or more and that If he could
not find satisfactory purchaser at
private sale at once he would ad-
yertise it for sale at public vendue.
Mr.. Lyon is the executor under
the will of William Hartmann and
has held the title to the property as
such since Mr.. Hartmann's death IN
1909. without being able to find
purchaser satisfactory to the heirs
who are his children, William r
Hartmann, and Mrs. Albert Boil

To prevent future loss Of life caused
by children and others wandering inad-
vertently upon railroad tracks, nearly

dressed a communication to the Board

action be taken 10 compel the railroads
to erect fences on either side of their
tracks. The proposition wass referred
to the Judiciary committee to take up
with the city attorney.

the railroads within the city limits
should be fenced in as long as they
remain at their present level.

be used on grade streets. The Kenne-
dale Park citizens have petitioned the

IN that locality. These matters nave all

England Is Ready.

London, July 2S.-With steam up
on her battleships and her troops,
regular and militia, moving steadily
toward the important strategic posi-
tons of the country, Britain today is
waiting for a possible clash with
Germany over the Moroccan situa-
ton.
Englands position has been posi-
lively outlined and no more can be
done until the Franco-German nego-
tiations over Morocco have been dis
posed Of The outcome of the dam
gerous situation hinges on whether
Germany will withdraw her demand
for a Moroccan port. All the diplo-
mats who are watching every move
with strained attention, concede that
France cannot grant this demand.
They expect that, warned by British
determination and the apparent GER
tainty that France will stand firm,
the Kaiser and his ministers tonight
will agree to concessions.
The whole situation in nutshell Is
that Germany has made demands
which will not be granted by France
and which, should France weaken,
would still be opposed by England.
Germany must back down or fight,
Which alternative the Kaiser will
take is uncertain, and England ready
and armed waits.
