 Not Seek Recount
Special from United Press }


 Bristol, Conn.,, Oct ST am heartily satisfied with the result said George Hull. today. the young farmer Social ist. who was defeated for Mayor by John Wade, Democrat, by 10 votes, yesterday. When you consider, said Hull, that both old parties and every politician had combined against me, that $500 was spent bringing into the city voters on the list who hap pened to be out of town, that a num- Der of autos were used by my op- ponents to bring voters to the polls and that my enemies used a monument tai amount Of whiskey to influence voters-when you consider all these things, you will agree that I did we'll against the overwhelming odds.
 "The use of the whiskey was the most disgraceful thing in Bristol s history. The empty bottles were piled high in barns near the voting places. I probably will not ask for a recount. Direct primaries are a great sue. cess, so Bristol believes, today. The election yesterday was attended with more excitement than in a Presidential year. Six hundred more votes were cast than in the last state election" {"

WOULD SEPARATE COMPANIES.
Government Suit Against Reading
Railway and Coal Corporations.

Washington, July IA Govern
ment suit, to compel a dissolution of
the Reading Railway Company from
the Reading Coal Company, was filed
today in the Federal Court, at Phil
adelphia. The action parallels a re-
cent one against the Leigh Valley
and is the Governments second
move in its new fight to separate the
coal carrying roads from the mines.
The Governments 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.
1t Is charged by the Government
that the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company, the Fulton
Coal Company, the Locust Improve
ment Company, the fremont Coal
Company, the Mammoth Vein Coal
and Improvement Company, the
Preston Coal Company and the Del
aware Company are merely dummies
Of the Reading Railway Company
and the Reading Company, which is
the holding corporation.
AS in the Lehigh Valley suit, the
Government charges that the Read
ing Coal Company and it's subsidiaries
are buying anthracite from inde-
pendent operators along the line Of
the Reading Railway, with the OBJ
ject Of removing competition trans
porting it to market at a loss, and
there regulating the selling price.
The coal company loses on such
transaction, the Government alleges,
that the railway company may pro-
tit by freight charges
A. a further evidence that the
coal company is not bona tide cor
poration. but q mere adjunct Of the
railroad and a device for evading the
commodities clause Of the Inter-
| 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 SlO.-
100000 to the coal company, which
/ is carried as an open charge. The
| Government cites that the railway
company has paid as high as per
| cent FOR money for the coal com
panY's operations. while the coal
company has seldom paid any inter
est at all and never more than per
cent To the railway company.
1t 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.
