The Making Of Money.

Truly some men apparently
cannothelp making money. They
are gifted with a sort Of second
sight which shows theui the yal-
ue of investments and the OPEN
ings for capital. Until some stat
ute or other influence stops them
such men will continue to roll up
vast fortunes. Others will be
made by lucky chances. No i'm
portant signs appear as yet OF
any restrictions upon the ma
king ofgreat fortunes. And when
such wealth is expended upon
good objects, like that OF And.
rev Carnegie, John H. Converse,

ers. it is hard to condemn it.
Undoubtedly it is the duty OF
every man to put forth his best
efforts to make not only q good
living for his family, but to pro-
vide adequately against the pos.
sible mutations of fortune and
the disabilities of sickness and
old age.-The Christian Herald.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS
MEET AT ATLANTIC CITY
Attendance Is Greatest in History of
Organization-Many Prominent
Men to Speak.

Atlantic City, n. 1.-THE attend
ance upon the twenty-fifth inter
national convention of the Christian
Endeavor society which opened here
is the largest that was ever present
at any previous meeting of the or
ganization.
That the most sanguine predictions
Of those in charge of the great con-
Vention have been surpassed is jubi-
lantly admitted at headquarters. and
when reason for the vast attend
ance is sought the officials point with
pride TO the long and interesting pro-
gram devised for the delegates in
struction and amusement, and the list
OF prominent speakers who have sig
nifled their intention OF addressing
the delegates and visitors. Among
the latter are: President Taft, Speak
er Champ Clark, former vice-presi-
dent Charles w. Fairbanks. Judge
Ben Lindsey of Denver, Booker T.
Washington, Commander Eva Booth
OF the Salvation Army, Rev. F. J..
Horseield, president of the British
Christian Endeavor Union; Rev. G.
Fukuda of Japan, Rev. H. 1. Marshall
OF Burma, Rev. P. S. Gray of New
Zealand. John Wanamaker of Phila-
delphia, and score or more of prom
fnent pastors and specialists in Chris
tan Endeavor work from many de-
nominations and missionaries from
foreign lands.
The convention was opened on
the million dollar pier by an
address from President Francis E.
Clark, DID. LID, prayer and praise
services, and a musical program,
which included some special music
by the Hawaiian delegates and the
Washington chorus. Among those
who spoke were John T. Sproull, pres
ident of the New Jersey State Chris

ANTHRACITE TRUST
AGAIN UNDER FIRE
Validity of Commodities Clause
to Be Tested.
SUIT AGAINST LEHIGH FILED
Government ReneEs Its Action to
Break Up Control of Mines by
Railroads in Eastern
Field.

Washington.-The government will
renew the fight to separate
the great coal carrying railroads from
their virtual control of mines, and
thus Yitalize the commodities clause
of the interstate commerce law. A
test case against the Lehigh Valley
railroad was filed in the United States
court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, Coke Bros, Inc, the New York
& Middlefeld Railroad and Coal com
pany and the Locust Mountain Coal
and Iron company are not bona f1de
coal companies, but merely adjuncts
to the Lehigh Valley railroad, and are
devices for eyading the commodity
clause" is the governments principal
complaint
1t is also alleged that the Lehigh
Valley railroad, with the object of re
moving competition, has caused the
Lehigh Valley Coal company to con-
tract at a loss for the output of other
anthracite operators, has transported
the coal over its own lines and through
the coal companies fixed the price in
New York and other markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying Of coal from other
operators has been done at a loss to
the coal company it has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport
the coal over its lines and profit from
the freight charges.
To support it's claim that the coal
company is merely the dummy"
through which the railroad engaged in
mining, transporting and selling coal
in violation of the commodities clause,
the government cites that the officers
of the railroad and the coal company
are the same and that certain mem
bers of the directorate and the execu-
tive committee of the railroad are
members of the directorate and execu-
tive committee of the coal company.
Among these named are Eben B.
Thomas, George F. Baker, E. T. States
bury and James A. Middleton.
Each of them, it is charged, has
been named to his position in the coal
company because of his position with
the railroad. 1t is set forth that the
coal company uses the railroad COM
pany's offices and does its business
over the railroad company's desks.
AS further allegation that the Lee
high Coal company is an adjunct of
the Lehigh Valley railroad, the gov
ernment's 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 dol
lars have been advanced by the rail-
road to the coal company which have
never been refunded, and that the rail-
road has paid the interest upon the
coal company's bonds, being compen-
stated, the government claims, by the
earnings from transportation of ceal
over it's lines.
While in effect the governments &C
ton is a blow at the so-called coal
trust, the case is separate from that
suit which is now on appeal to the
Supreme court
