UNCLE SAM TO WAGE WAR
ON DUMMY COAL CO S
Coal Carrying Roads Alleged
to Own Mines viii Be Hunt
ed Down

WASHINGTON, July 6.=The govern
ment will renew the fight to disassoci-
ate the great coal carrying railroads
from their virtual control of mines and
thus vitalize the commodities clause of
the interstate commerce law. A test case
against the Lehigh Valley railroad will
be filed today in the United States
court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal compa-
ny, Coze Brothers, Incorporated. the
New York and Middlefield Railroad and
Coal company. and the Locust Mountain
Coal and Iron company are not bona
fide coal companies. but merely adj
juncts to the Sehigh Valley railroad and
are devices for evading the commod-
ity clause" is the governments princi-
pal complaint.
1t is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad, with the object of re-
moving competition, has caused the Lee
high Valley Coal company to contract
at q loss for the output Of other an
thracite operators, has ansported the
coal over its own lines through the coal
company fixed the price In New York
and other markets.
The government charges that although
the buying Of coal from other operators
has been done at a loss to the coal COM
pany, 1t has enabled the Lehigh Valley
road 10 transport the coal over aus lines
and profit from the freight charges.
AS a further allegation that the Lee
high Valley railroad. the government
complaint says that since the capital
stock of the coal company has been
owned by the. railroad, it has paid no
dividends, that millions of dollars have
been advanced by the railroad to the
coal company which have never been re-
funded, and that the railroad has paid
the interest upon the coal company
bonds, being compensated, the govern
ment claims, by the earnings from trans
portation OF coal over it's lines
BY proving that the Lehigh Valley
railroad is actually the legal owner or
the Lehigh Valley Coal company's an
thracite mines, or has pecuniary inter
est in them, the government hopes TO
bring its case into line with the recent
decision of the supreme court In Lne
commodity clause case, strike down
dummy coal companies and force the
coal carrying railroads from their con
troll of mines

j. S. NAVAL OFFICERS
SAY DREADNAUGHTS
ARE INDISPENSABLE
Rumor That Great Britain In
tends to Abandon Battle
ships for Smaller Type of
War Vessel Is Doubted
cBy Associated Press.)

NEW YORK. July s-Naval officers
stationed at the Brooklyn navy yard
were inclined last night to doubt the
London dispatch in which was predicted
the passing OF the dreadnought type Of
battle ship In, favor of smaller vessels
OF equally heavy armament. In their
opinion Great Britain and the other ma
lions OF the world will even enlarge the
size OF the present day battle ships.
Rear Admiral E. N. c. Loutz, U. 8. N,
retired. commandant Of the Brooklyn
navy yard, said:
1T Is hard to believe EngIand's future
naval policy Is to be toward the reduc-
ton in the size of fits war vessels.
I'VE have found the dreadnoughts the
most effective lighting machines yet pro-
duced and consequently we will continue
to make our vessels of greater size.
II can. see no object unless It Is for
that England is to build vessels OF small
er size. England may be listening to
the demands of the persons who object
to naval expenditures. OF course, I can
make no prediction of what our own fu-
ture program win be. but from my per
sonal viewpoint we will add to our feet
OF dreadnoughts"
The man who has been sent to the
Brooklyn navy yard to lay the hull of
the battle ship New York, Naval Con-
structor Robert Z. Stocker, U. S. N,
could not reconcile his experience in
ship-buildng with the report from Lon
don.
WE NEED BIG SHIPS.
I'VE reed all tile dreadnoughts we can
has been found a type which is an Inn
provement over everything built before.
THE quality Of speed, gun strength
and endurance cannot be contained in a
bulk smaller than at present incloses
them. Our engines give a maximum of
power with a minimum Of space; our
guns are included in the narrowest ex-
panse possible with safety. If we want
greater speed and secure It in the size
OF the vessel, the armament must be
sacrificed to a corresponding extent
"Inversely, If we are to increase the
armament of our dreadnoughts on a
smaller vessels, we would have to dis
pense with some of our speed"
Capt. G. E Burd, u s. N, in charge
OF the machinery department of the
navy yard. said It is not possible with
the present engines TO economize In
space without losing elsewhere.
1.-The one thing that would help us to
spare some Of the space now occupied
by the boilers and engines of our battle
ships" he said, would be a new en-
CINE that would improve on the turbine
and the reciprocating engine we now
carry"

rocity bill :
These amendments propose to enlarge

by adding cotton. wool. sugar. steel, iron,
etc. to the Canadian products. privileged
under the agreement.
The senate arranged to meet at IL
o'clock this morning and hereafter.
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, was

GRoNNA ON RECIPROCITY.
An attack on the Canadian reciprocity
bin on the ground that it surrenderS the
market OF the American farmer without
any recompense. that the agreement
was a usurpation of authority by the
president; that the bill SHOULD have orig
mated in the house as a revenue meas
ure. was made in the senate today by
Mr.. Gronna, of North Dakota, Repub-
lican. insurgent
senator Gronna declared the farmers
Of this country were almost unanimous
IN their opposition to the reciprocity Dill
and that their Indifference was apparent
only 10 those viewing the farmers at
titude with prejudiced eyes.
In having the bill framed and trying
to force 1t through congress. declared
Senator Gronna, the president exceeded
his constitutional powers. a decidedly Sc
rious violation. he added. because It was
in accordance with pledge given to a
foreign nation.
The president" he continued, has ap-
parently come to the conclusion that he
represents the people Of this country
both "a executive and legislative, and
that the two houses of congress are
merely two bodies OF men provided for
by the constitution which he can un-
fortunately not get rid OF, but which
are to be ignored and coerced whenever
he deems Il necessary or expedient-"
Mr.. Gronna contended that the goods
on which the duties have been removed
are almost without exception goods
that Canada will sell TO the United
States and that the United States can
have the hope OF selling TO her.
He denounced the agreement, as cloak
to hide the adoption OF a new economic
and Industrial policy out Of harmony

PRESIDENT TAFT IN STEW
OVER ALABAMA POLITICS
Selection of Republican Chair
man May Mean EnStrange-
ment of Hitchcock or HilleS

WASHINGTON, July "a factional
rbw over the selection OF Republican
state chairman for Alabama boiled to
the surface at the White House today
and has put President Taft in the pre-
dicament OF choosing between Post
master General Hitchcock and Secre-
tary c. ID. Hilles as political adviser
to the administration.
Mr. Hitchcock resigned as chairman
of the Republican national committee
before he entered the cabinet, but his
connection with the appointment OF
postmasters has necessarily kept him
in touch with political conditions, es-
pecially in the south. Mr.. Hilles has
interested himself in political condi-
ton the country over. possible
clash between Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr..
Hilles had been predicted, but it was
not looked for at this time.
months ago, P. D. Barker Republican
nationa committeeman and postmaster
at Mobile, is backing Peter Long for
state chairman with the knowledge of
Mr.. Hitchcock Secretary Hilles and
Booker t. Washington, the negro edu-
Gator. are understood to be backing ].
%. Thompson, collector of internal rev.
enue Several Alabama citizens, in
Guiding many of the most prominent
federal officeholders IN tDe state, de-
clared to President Taft today that a
majority OF the Republican state COM
mittee is for Barker and asks that
Alabama Republicans be allowed to
settle the row themselves.
The president did not commit him
self. He is In an embarrassing posi-
ton, since the Endorsement of Barker
might be regarded as a turn down Of
Mr. Hilles and an Endorsement for
Thompson might look like at a slap
at Postmaster General Hitchcock.
