FRUIT COMPANY SUED
FOR A LARGE SUM

PHILADELPHIA. June A.-Suit to re-
cover sS,50O,0O0 damages from the United
Fruit company was instituted In the
United States circuit court here today by
Elmer Wood, receiver OF the Bluefields
Steamship company. The suit is institut-
ed under the Sherman antitrust act.
Frederick M. Steele, OF this city, and
other minority stockholders of the Blue
fields Steamship company, charge that
the company suffered to the amount
named in the suit as a result of being
merged with the United Fruit company.
This merger, 1t Is claimed, eliminated the
steamship company from competing in
the banana shipping trade. The bill of
complaint charges that the United Fruit
companys secured control of the stock Of
the Bluefield company, with the inten-
ton to regulate the cost of transport
ing bananas and to stifle competition of
the Bluefields company.

AFTER REMORS OF THE PANIC
OF 1907.

The Panic OF 1907 was brought
again into general discussion during
the last few weeks by Mr. Roose-
velt's testimony before the commit
tee investigating the United Steel
Corporation and by the bill recently
introduced by Senator Owen of Okla
homa for an inquiry into the causes
of the panic. The present depression
in the market is also discussed in
this connection, and a number of
writer's see in this depression only a
continuation of the panic. The proc

the panic was "a deliberate con
spiracy for the enrichment Of those
who engineered it." and this view is
voiced by the radicals all over the

printed in Mr.. Bryan's Commoner,

MAY REyoLUTIoNIzE THE MIN
ING OF COAL.

Fayetteville, w. Va.-Frank Hess,
OF Ansted, mas secured patent on
an invention that may obliterate en-
tirely the cause OF dust explosions
in mines where machines are used
for mining.
Mr.. Hess machine, instead of dig
ging or cutting the coal, bores it
with an augur like process. The
Gust is conveyed from the augur
point to receptacle and is constant
ly enclosed until removed from the
mine.
Under the old process the dust is
carried by the circulation of air,
until it finally settles in all parts of
the mine, occasioning great danger
Of explosion in case OF blow out
shot or from other causes.
The model of the machine has
been examined by Mr.. Paul and
other mining experts, who have ex-
pressed great confidence that it will
do all that is claimed for it.
At present a trial machine is
being built at the machine shop of
the Gauley Mountain Coal Company
at Ansted, and it is expected that it
will be completed and ready for ac-
ton before very long. A trial of
the new machine is being awaited
with great interest by both opera
tors and miners. And If successful
it may be expected that 1t will be
adopted by law for use throughout
West Virginia mines.
