"COAL COMBINE" ATTACKED
Morgan Interests Accused of
discrimination

Washington. March 2-An attack was
made today before the Interstate Conn
msrce Commission on what was termed the
y Pierpont Morgan coal combine by at
iorneys representing the coal operators In
TIE Pittsburgh district.
The question arose in the case Of John
W. Boileau and others against the Pitts
burgh & Lake Erie Railroad and other i'm
portant carriers Of coal from the Pitts
burgh district 10 lake ports. Wade H FL
lis. representing the Pittsburgh Coal Com
hsny. argued that the present rate of SO
cents ton from the Pittsburgh district to
lake ports was excessive He charged that
the railroads controlled by the Morgan in
terests had entered into a conspiracy TO
discriminate against the coal operators in
the Pittsburgh district in favor OF the oper-
stors and railroads in the West Virginia
and Kentucky fields on the same class of
trsffic. He said that by reason Of the ex-
listing rates the coal operators in the Pitts
burgh district were doing business at a
loss. 'all OF their profits going to the rail-
roads"

tanned that the rate Of So cents a ton. which
has been in effect for many years. and un-
der which the traffic had moved freely
was reasonable. in view of the expensive
operations of the railroads in handling the
traffic
louis p. Brandeis. of Boston. represent

tained that the only question involved IN
the case was whether @ cents ton was
Reasonable rate, or whether that discrinl-
mated against the Pittsburgh district.
In fixing the Ss-cent rate" he said. 1.-The
railroads considered, not the cost of trans
porting the coal. but what the traffic wouid
bear" He argued that the SS-cent rate had
been proved to be unreasonable and that
II ought to be reduced.

URGES EASE IN VOTING
Tammany Man Takes Side OF
Illiterate at CITY Club.

Opposing Republican and Democratic the
cries OF the ballot and the intelligence OF
the voter were brought into sharp contrast
yesterday at the weekly luncheon and dis.
| cussion OF the City Club on civic affairs,
in the course OF which methods making II
easy for the illterate citizen to vote were
defended by a representative Of Tammany
Hall.
A. s. Gilbert, chairman Of the sub-com-
mittee on election law of the Republican
County Committee. argued for strict party
rule and certain types of ballot reform.
He spoke particularly of the Ma assachu-
setts ballot, which leaves out party desls-
nations.
1--WE have got TO have party lines and
a party column on the ballot" he said. In
city affairs am for the Massachusetts,
ballot, for party need not necessarily enter
there, a city government being like running
a great private business concern. But In
state and national elections the party is
essential; and | do not believe that any ons
should be allowed 10 vote unless he can
read the English language. The ideal bal
lot would lie one that would compel this
voter to vote intelligcntly. either for parties
or individual names | do not believe there
is anything requiring an emblem to mark
the party column"
Robert L. Luce, a member Of the law
committee OF Tammany Hall, following
Mr. Gilbert, came forward as the cham
pion of the illiterate voter Mr. Luce de-
fined the three essentials of voting as free
dom, ease and secrecy. The second, he
thought, was best obtained by the use OF
the party emblem and big spaces for the
cross mark. He even declared that the
ideal form Of ballot was the old vest
pocket" ballot, distributed to voters by the
parties and prepared by them at home be-
fore they came to the polls. Lawson Purdy
and william II. Wadhams, president Of
the Direct Primary League also spoke.

The original of Sam Weller was
Sam or Samuel Vale, who was we'll
known as a London comedian who
acted In the farce called The Board
ing House" and subsequently at Gov
ent Garden theater. Sam Vale was
noted everywhere for the Wellerisms,
such as Come on, as the man said
to his tight boot" I'm down on you,
as the extinguisher said to the can
die" Where shall We fly, as the
bullet said to the trigger" and Let
everyone take care Of themselves, as
the donkey observed when dancing

Life Of the Soil.

The soil may be said to be alive. It
is a matrix supporting various groups
Of definite heterogeneous, and the
investigations of the past few years
indicate the possibility of determin-
ing by meteorological diagnoses the
crop producing capacities of different
soils. 1t has been shown that the &C
ton OF the nitrifying bacteria, espe-
cially in samples of soil, correlates
fairly well with the productiveness OF
the same soils under field conditions.

Curious Lore,

It has been remarked as a curious
circumstance that Bonaparte and We'll
lington were born In the same year,
and that Burns and Hogs the Scotch
poets, were both born on Jan. rs; but
1t Is more remarkable that the two
greatest dramatic poets Of modern Eu-
rope, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both
died on the same day In the same
year. April %, 1916. 1t Is further re-
markable that Shakespeare, like the
great Raphael and Sobieski, died on
the anniversary of his birth.-From
Fennell's Shakespeare Repository,
1858.

Value of Manual TRAINING.

1t is nothing but the delicacy Of his
sense of touch that gives to man his
marvellous skill with his fingers, so
that he can make all manner OF tools
and instruments. nothing being too
fine for him to handle. This is one
argument in favor Of manual training.
which teaches children how to use
their hands and enables them to &C
quire so much useful knowledge
through their fingers.-New York Sun.

Queer Sign Posts.

In the neighborhood of Warmbrunn,
in the Silesian mountains, there are to
be found some very curious signposts.
One seen by a writer in the Wide
World Magazine represents a farm la
borer sharpening his scythe, on which
is inscribed, in the old Silesian dialect,
ITO Giers Village, One Hour" The
signpost is we'll carved and painted in
natural colors. so that it appears very
life-like. Another signpost in the same
district represents a schoolboy carry
ing a slate bearing the name Of the
nearest village, toward which the boy
is pointing.

WorshIped In Ancient QaYa.

In the National Museum, Washing
ton, there is a meteorite weighing l..
400 pounds. In the Yale collection Is
one weighing 1885 pounds. and one
at Amherst 437 pounds. Some sacred
stones, as the black meteorite wor-
shipped at Emesa, in Syria; the holy
Kaaba of Mecca; and the great stone
of the pyramid of Cholula, in Mexico;
owe their sanctity to the belief that
they had fallen from heaven.
