s. V. Derrah. assistant general frelgh,
agent for the Denver e Rio Grande
when asked last night regarding the de-
cision, said:
II is good news to Utah dealers In
coal and may mean the opening up
OF new mines. 1t opens up lot OF
now territory for Utah coal, as II es-
tablishes a blanket rate in the states
mentioned. To some places now the
dfferentinl against Utah coal is as
high as IS cents 4. ton, and II is thus
practically shut out. although. as a
matter Of fact, II is better for storing
purposes and therefore more desira-
BILE than is the coal from the Rock
Springs fields.
The decision in regard to empty
cars furnished the mines by the Dem
ycr G. Rio Grande Is OF minor conse-
quence and really has nothing to do
with the other decision. Altog ether
1t is sweeping decision and should
mean much to coal dealers in Utah.

 These vexing questions were yes terday presented to District Judge Teller for settlement Although the jurist was considerably perplex. ed, he took jurisdiction
 Bierkamp's attorney informed the court that inasmuch as his client had been forbidden to enter his own house, pending his wifes suit, Mrs. Bierkamp should be required to ab stain from placing a further burden upon her husbands shoulders. Tn, attorney was fortified with a thick bundle of statements from various downtown dry goods firms. which he said bore out the bankers assertion that he could not afford to foot his wife's debts for lingerie alone.
 Bierkamp, the lawyer declared. was perfectly willing to put up for all the groceries his wife and her fam fly could consume. But lingerie. silk stockings and satin pumps nothing doing.
