NO COAL COMBINE.
SUPREME COURT HOLDS U. s. HAS
FAILED TO PROVE TRUST.
Decision Upholds Contention Of the
Government That "65 Per Cent"
Contracts Are Illegal.

Washington, Dec 1S.-The Supreme
court of the United States decided
against the government Monday In its
fight to have the anthracite coal car
rying railroads and their affiliated
coal companies declared to be In a
general combination In violation OF
the Sherman antitrust law.
It won victory in getting the court
to hold void the 65 per cent. contracts
whereby the railroad coal compa-
MES" buy the output Of independent
mines. Justice Lurton. in announcing
the opinion. said these contracts
were plainly in violation OF the law.
The court also held that the rail-
roads had violated the law by attempt
ing to shut out of the anthracite re-
gion a competitive road through the
control OF the Temple Iron company.
AS to minor combinations of rail-
roads and coal companies charged to
be violating the law, the court dis
missed the action without prejudice TO
future suits, because 1t held 1t not fair
to require those groups to make a
defense in an action primarily against
a general combination"

TvEITMOE IS SCORED
BRANDED AS MAN WHO DIRECTED
TIMES DISASTER.
Special Prosecutor Noel Scorches All
tho Defendants In Dynamite
Conspiracy" Case.

Indianapolis. Ind, Dec. 19.-Olaf A.
Tveit1aoe. the San Francisco labor
leader, was charged with being the
man who directed the Los Angeles
Times explosion by Special District
Attorney James w. Noel in his argu-
ment in the dynamite conspiracy"
case before Judge Anderson. In the
federal court here.
Noel talked for six straight hours.
during which he gave each of the de-
PENDANTS scorching and appealed to
the jury to protect society from organ
lied crime.
He told the story of the guilt OF the
leaders and the tragedy of the Times
explosion more compactly than has
yet been given to the public, connect
ing all the evidence with a complete
story.
Gentlemen of the Jury, you are not
going to allow Tveitmoe TO dump the
Times crime onto j. b. Mcnamara,
who was but the degenerate tool Of
this able but criminal conspirator,"
said Noel. appealingly.
"Tyeitmoe, a man of ability and
enough power to raise $149. 900 for the
Los Angeles fight, who has defied even
this court and chafed at the restraint
Of the courts and laws of the country.
Is man who typifes this sort OF
work"
But the special district attorney did
not conflne his efforts to convict, to
Tveitmoe. He went hard after the
other SO defendants, with Herbert s.
Hockin, captain of the dynamite
squad" and double crosser," as his
poisoned spear.
He said the various defendants have
admitted the numerous conversations
testified to by many Of the govern
ment's witnesses. but they denied ma
king threats"
1t is possible for the Jury to re-
turn verdict in the case by the end
OF next week.

A decision Of vital Importance to
the west, according to Chicago finan-
ciers, has been made by Comptroller
Murray of the currency In Washing
ton. He has given permission to ma
tional banks to invest In bonds of all
classes and has removed the restric-
ton formerly made against several
types of western securities.
First mortgage real estate bonds
are now legal investments for national
banks, although these banks could not
purchase an undivided mortgage. Such
bonds are often issued in western cit
les to finance the construction of large
new buildings, and building operations
In many western cities will be great
ly benefited by the comptrollers rul-
ing The safety Of this class of bonds
has led many state banks and insur-
ance companies to purchase them In
large amounts and national banks are
now to be admitted to this market.
S. w. Straus, president of s. w.
Straus & Co., mortgage and bond
brokers, Chicago and New York, OK
planned the comptroller's ruling and
Its benefits to the west.
Il regard this ruling as one Of the
most important developments in re-
cent years for the prosperity Of the
Mississippi valley region" said Mr..
Straus. There are several classes Of
perfectly safe bonds issued in the
west which for long time had been
denied lack OF recognition by the
eastern national banks. The comp
troller's ruling removes this bar and
will give safe western bondsy bear
ing 5h to 6 per cent interest. much
wider market in the east and. In fact,
in all portions Of the country than
ever before"

WHAT'S The REASON2
Many KingStree People In Poor Health
Without Knowing The Cause

There are scores of people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Likely
the kidneys have fallen behind in
their work of filtering the blood and
that is the root of the trouble. Look
to your kidneys, assist them In their
work-give them the help they need.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills.

sufferer in this locality.
