ATTACK ON COAL CARRIER
u. S. GOVERNMENT FILES SUIT
AGAINST RAILROAD.
Prosecution Claims that Railway and
Mines Work Together in Viola
ton of Law.

Washington, July ia govern
ment suit to compel a bona fide dis
association of the Reading Rail.
way company and. the Reading Coal
company was filed to-day in the fed
eral court at Philadelphia. The &C
tion parallels a recent one against
the Lehigh Valley and is the govern
ment's second move in it's. new fight
to separate the coal-carriers from
their virtual control of the coal busi-
ness:
The government suit takes the
form of an amended complaint to the
original commodities clause action of
1908, which is in conformance with
the commodities decision of the su-
preme court.
Merely Dummies.
1t is charged by the government
that the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal and Iron company, the Fulton
Coal company, the Locust Gay I'm
provement company, the fremont
Coal company, the Mammoth Vein
Coal and Improvement company, the
Preston Coal and Improvement COM
pany and the Delaware Coal COM
pany are merely dummies of the
Reading Railway company and the
Reading Coal company, which is the
holding corporation.
AS in the Lehigh Valley suit, the
government charges that the Reading
Coal company and it's subsidiaries are
buying anthracite from Independent
operators along the line Of the Read
ing railway, with the object of re-
moving competition, transporting 1t
to market at loss and there regulat-
ing the selling price. The coal COM
pany loses on such transaction, the
government alleges, that the railway
company may profit from the freight
charges.
Easy Loans.
AS further evidence that the coal
company is not bona f1de corpora
ton but mere adjunct of the rail-
road and a device for evading the
commodities clause of the interstate
commerce law, the government
charges that the officers of the rail-
way company and the coal company
are the same, that the railway COM
pany has advanced more than, $780,
00o, 900 to the coal company which is
carried as an open charge. The gov
ernment cites that the railway COM
pany had paid as high as 4 per cent.
for money for the coal company's
operations while the coal company
has seldom paid any interest at all
and never more than 2 per cent, to
the railway company.
It is known that the department
of justice intends to fight for a strict
compliance with the terms Of the
commodities clause by all the coal
carrying railroads.

DETAILS OF A. C. L. WRECK.
Apparently Deliberately Planned
None Sustains Serious Injuries.'

Florence, July 16.-Train No. &c,
the Coast Lines palmetto Limited" !"
which left Charleston at 4:10 and
Florence at 7:45 yesterday, was
badly wrecked at the Buck Swamp
siding, two miles north of Latta,
about 9 o'clock last night.
The train, which was made up
with one of the Coast Lines big cop
pear-head locomotives, mail and ex-
press cars, two coaches and two
sleepers, with Engineer Reddin Bull
lock and Conductor John w. Cotton,
Jr., was speeding slong at 45-mile
an hour clip, when suddenly the To-
comotive, entering the siding, follow
ed by the heavy cars, soon rushed on
off through the siding into the
swamp, ploughing it's way through
mud and earth until its force was
checked by the weight of the cars.
The engine remained in an upright
position, and that was the reason
why Engineer Bullock and his fire.
man were not injured.
The mail car left the right of way
to the right, the express car to the
right and the two coaches jammed
themselves against the wreckage.
Only the front trucks of the forward
end of the two Pullman cars left the
rails.
When it was all over it was found
that a tramp by the name of Wood
ward had his feet and hand badly
mashed, and that the mail agent, the
express messenger and his colored
helper and the train porter were
slightly injured by being bruised and
shaken up. Not passenger on the
train is reported to have been in
jured.
AS quickly as possible the wreck
ing train, in charge of Mr.. Alex
Sessions, and carrying Assistant Su-
perintendent R. B. Hare, DR.. B. c..
Gregg and Special Agent C. E. St.
Amand, left here for the scene. The
track was found to be blocked upon
it's arrival, but was soon cleared, all
trains being detoured last night and
early this morning via Elrod and
Chadbourne.
Upon investigation as to the cause
of the wreck it was found that the
switch had been opened and the lock
removed. The lock could not be
found, showing that it was a wilful
and diabolical act of some miscreant.
The attempt proved to be successful
and it is, indeed, miracle that all
on board were not slaughtered out
right.
The Buck Swamp siding is what is
known in railroad parlance as "one-
ender," with the switch opening to
the south end, from whence the
train approached, the other end be-
ing open, and nothing to prevent a
train from going into the woods
should it enter the switch at any kind
of speed. AS soon as the engine en-
tered the siding the sudden sWoop
threw Engineer Bullock from his
seat, but he quickly recovered him
self, shut off the steam, applied the
emergency brakes and reversed his
engine, but by the time this was all
done she was ploughing herself
through mud and earth, having pass
ed in. through and off the siding.

Millions of Folks
Use Only "Cascarets'
They Never Have Headaches, Bilious
ness, Sluggish, Inactive Bowels or
Bad Stomach to Make them
Miserable.

A million boxes a month. That's
the sale of Carcarets. And every tab
let in every box means a day Of good
cheer. Think what world of happ-
ness this candy laxative has brought
to men and women-also the children.
Are you getting your share?
Carcarets cure bowel troubles when
they have developed. But that is the
least of their uses. Their best serv-
ice is to prevent the many ills that
come from inactive bowels. Think Of
the days when you are not at your
best. The mornings when you don't
feel right, the afternoons when you
are logy, the evenings when you are
irritable. The cause lies in the bow
els.
One Carcaret makes everything
different. Don't say I'll take it to-
night Take it at once. Carry box
in your pocket The hours before
Ledtime are too good to be wasted.
Cascarets are gentle and pleasant.
Their action is as natural as the action

The MosIem Woman.

Mussulmen women, according to a
scoffing Moslem writer in the Paris
Figaro, take no interest in the occi-
dental movement, for women suffrage
and woman's rights, because more
than 13 centuries ago Mahomet
placed the two sexes on an equal foot
ing.
Girls and boys receive the same edu-
cation. The girl elects her own hus-
band, handles her property as she
likes and can even take a case into
court without asking her husbands
consent. True, the husband may Sc
cure a divorce at will, but such separ-
ations without just cause are con-
demned by public opinion. True. also,
there is the institution of polygamy,
but Mahomet allowed a man only four
wives, and you will hardly find one
Ottoman in a thousand who is a po-
lygamist." Possibly because the law
requires the Moslem husband to treat
all four wives exactly alike, distribu-
ting his jewels, his chocolates, his
smiles and his kind words with abso'
lue impartiarity. Playing favorites
is strictly forbidden. True, also, Mus
sulman women wear wells. But their
occidental sisters also hide reality

slave nor martyr is the Moslem wo-
