Many Coal Entrie. VOID.

Denver.--Under a decision OF the
United States Circuit Court OF APP
peals, just rendered at ST. Louis. suits
may be brought by the government
to regain thousands of acres of coal
lands in Colorado and other states filed
upon fraudnlently. The decision was
given In the case OF the government
against the Diamond Coal and Coke
Company of Wyoming. which was an
appeal from decision of Federal
Judge Lewis. The ruling of the Court
of Appeals, which reserses the deci-
sion of Judge Lewis, is that lands may
be proved to be coal lands by expert
geological testimony, and that out
groupings of coal are not necessary to
prove the character OF the lands. The
ruling heretofore has been that lands
were not considered to be coal lands
unless veins appeared through the sur
face.

coming show will be in four complete
departments. the Stock Show, the Ma
tional Western Horse Show, the Ma
tional Western Poultry Show and the

to these plans are being made to pro-
vide concession space to merchants

year. The West is commencing to get

western Newspaper Union New. Service.


Denver.-The federal grand jury is
probing the so-called fcod trust. Evil
dence has been presented to the grand
jury seeking to show that the fruit
and wholesale produce men OF the city
have combination in restraint Of
trade which arbitrarily fixes the prices
Of fruit and other commodities and
freezes out dealers not in the trust
The fruit operations of this organiza-
tion have been gone into particularly.
1t is said that the probe will be a
some enlightening information on why
living costs SO high. The recent rise
in sugar will be one of the things ex-
amined into.
That there is an organization of
produce men in the city who fix prices
to suit themselves and have the retail
dealers and public at their mercy has
been charged for long time.
1t Is said that a member of the trust
shares in its profits though he does
not handle one barrel of fruit. Such
arbitrary power this organization is
said to have that it can make the price
of oranges, bananas, apples or any 9TH
er fruit prohibitive and the retail deal
er and the public can do nothing more
than to sit still and throw up their
hands in dismay. They have the fruit
grower, too, at their mercy, it is al
legged, and he is up against the prop
osition OF throwing his fruit to the four
winds or feeding it to hogs, or sell
ing it to the trust at whatever price it
demands.
The government is making an effort
to indict the officers of this trust. and
the chief men in it. Indictments are
also being sought against the princi-
pals In whatever other trusts are COM
bining in restraint of trade and boost
ing prices of food.
Among the witnesses before the
grand jury were Matthew j. zeuseus,
merchandise broker formerly with
the LawrenceHensley Fruit Company
as credit man; William c. Mcpherson,
manager of the California Fruit Grow
ers' Exchange. and George H. Knit
ton, merchandise broker.
A special agent of the Department
of Justice attached to United States

been conducting the investigation for
the government. Sensations are prom
ised the public as result of the grand
jury's probe.
This is the governments first at

dieting the principal men in it.
The exact extent of the investiga-
ton is not known but 1t is said that
the prices of fruit and sugar are the
particular subjects of the probe.
