ITS COAL LAND
Three Railroads Plan to Re-
organize Thar CeaI Min
Ing Companies.
OBEY HEPBURN LAW
Many Mines Are Controlled
and Operated by These Ger
porations at Present.
OBEY HEPBURN LAW

New York, May q.-The managers
and attorneys for the railroads having
coal company subsidiaries are perfect
ing plans for a reorganization Of the
latter to, obey to the letter the Hep
burn law in accordance with a recent
decision of the United States supreme
court, The lines making the changes
are the Lehigh Valley, Delaware and
Hudson and the New York, Ontario
and Western. The proposed plans con-
template divorcing the coal mining and
sales departments Of the lines to pre-
vent further complaints from Wash
tngton
Consideration Of number of plans
In the course Of numerous conferences
OF attorneys has resolved the matter
into two general plans. The one that
liz at present most favored by the Del
aware and Hudson and the New York,
Ontario and Western is similar In gen
eral outline to that made effective by
the Della ware, Leckawanna and West
ern two years ago 1t provides for the
sale at the mines Of the coal mined by
the company to an Independent com
pany organized for the purpose of mar
keting the coal.
The other plan, which up to the
present has met with greater favor
from the more Influential directors OF
the Lehigh Valley, o6ntemplates the
sale of the company's coal lands to a
separate company to be organized for
the purpose of acquiring and holding
them In perpetuity, with, of course,
rights to railroad company stockhold-
ers to subscribe to the stock of the
Few coal company or distribution of
the stock among them. The objection
has been made that some of the COM
pany's coal lands are mortgaged under
the railroad company's $30,000,000
consolidated mortgage bonds, but 1t is
not proposed to disturb the bonds The
company will only convey.sH the plan
goes through, its equity or interest IN
the coal properties, subject to the
mortgage which secures the bonds.
The Lehigh Valley owns the entire
capital stock Of the rehigh Valley
Coal company, Which produces an nv-
erage Of more than 100000 tons Of
anthracite a year. The railroad also
owns the entire capital stock Of Coke
Bros. & Co., Incorporated which owns
about $500 acres Of coal land In Car
bon and Luzerne counties, Pa, and
has an unmined tonnage estimated at
67,oOO,Q0O.
The Delaware and Hudson owns In
its own name hard coal lands with an
estimated unmined tonnage of more
than 20O,0O0,000 and In addition owns
the entire capital stock Of the Hudson
Coal company. which In turn owns all
the stock Of the Schuylkill Coal and
Iron company and the Shanforoke
Coal company. These companies have
title to lands estimated to contain
42o, 10000 tons of minable coal. The
coal subsidiaries of the Ontario and
Western are the Scranton Coal COM
pany and the Elk Hill Coal and Iron
company, which together have ca
pacity Of 2,s0O, 600 tons a year.

TO LOTUS CLUB
Mayor BoIischwsI!er Makes
Statement Today About Way
Boxing Bouts Are Held.
SAYS LIMIT EXCEEDED
Declares that He Will Not
Stand for "Prizs-FiQhting"
in This City.

Mayor Bollschweiler gave out the
following statement today relative
to the Lotus Club:
Il feel this morning as If an un-
fair advantage has been taken of my
administration of the police affairs
of the city by the Lotus Club. Under
the guise. of a proper private club
exhibition. prize fight appears to
have been held. 1t is well known
that public sparring exhibitions can
not be conducted according to law,
and that l would not permit them
But a local sporting association,
known as the Lotus Club, has en-
deayored to have private athletic ex-
hibitions for members only, with no
sale of tickets to the public, and
pretended to indulge in wrestling
and physical culture events which
We're not prescribed by the statutes.
II once attended one of these ex-
hibitions, and was well satisfied with
the harmlessness of the affair. From
what I hear today, however, 1t ap-
pears that the sporting instinct has
been carried too far, and the legal
limit exceeded. The harmless wrest-
ling and boxing bouts have given
place In this instance to injurious
fighting, and l wish hereby to warn
all who are interested that such ex-
tremes will not be tolerated. Never
again under my administration must
such exhibitions be given under the
guise Of privileged. friendly, harm
less bouts, for ] will not stand for
them" The fact that they are con-
Quoted by a club for the entertain
ment of its own members makes no
difference to me. They must be
stopped forthwith

MACHINERY Sent OUT
FOR new CANNING PLANT
Plant Will Be Ready to Util.
izG This Seasons Crop

Announcement is made from the
office Of the c. f. Ware Coffee Co.,
OF Dayton, Ohio, that all the machin-
cry for the new 100000 canning plant
that is to be erected on the pIan5a-
ton owned by the Ware Progress Co..
here, has been sent from New York
to Americus, and that it will be in
stalled in time to take care of this
years peach crop.
Upon the occasion of a visit here re-
Gently by Mr.. Fred J. Strong, who is
to be president and general manager
of the new plant, the decision to es-
tablish the factory here was made pub
lie. 1t is now said that the plant
will have a capacity of $500 cases Per
day, and will be constructed ON the
unit plan, so that it can be ENLARGED
from time to time to meet the re
quirements of the trade.
The new plant should be Of interest
to the farmers of Sumter county, as
it will have capacity to take care
OF not only all the peaches that can
be grown in the vicinity of the Ware
Progress plantation, but in addition
the new plant will want sugar cane,
tomatoes, string beans, sweet potatoes
and other products. 1t is planned to
incorporate the new plant under the
laws of Georgia.
Many other New York Gamers have
their eyes on Americas and are much
interested in the canning industry
in this section of the state, so they will
undoubtedly watch the progress of
this new plant with much interest.
