OPINIONS DIFFER
As TO RESULT OF
COAL DECISION
Wickersham Is Certain De-
cree Will Benefit the
). Public.

Widely differing views are held today
as to the effect and the Importance to
the Government OF the decision Of tho
Supreme Court In the anthracite coal
company and coal road case. Attorney
General Wickcrsham gave out state
ment In which no declared the decision
would destroy the anthracite combina-
ton and give distinct relief to the pub
lie.
Hc said:
1.-THE decision marks the close of n
ten-year effort to reach through tho
process OF tho courts combins tion con.
trolling the production. shipment, and
marketing of anthracite. The bill was
filed after an Investigation by the Inter.
statc Commerce Commission. Suit was
brought In Philadelphia In June, 1907.
and Was arg%ed ,S,S In the circuit sS.r court In
1910, holding that the Temple Iron Com.
pany was an unlawful combination, and
Diminishing the bill rs to all other
grounds Of complaint.
Relief to Consumers.
"The Supreme Court now affirms the
decision Of the lower court, 30 far as
the unlawful character OF the Temple
Iron Company Is concerned, and also
holds that the contracts known as the
S. per cent contracts are unlawful, and
must lie terminated.
1T Is believed that this decision will
SO completely destroy the combination
which now controls the price OF anthra.
cite coal that II must result In a dis
tinct measure Of relief to the public.
There were q number Of subsidiary
questions raised In the bill respecting
charges that different combinations
which the defendants were alleged to
have formed were unlawful. but the
court. holding that In view Of the fact
that all Of the defendants are not par
ties to any one Of those combinations.
but that each Of them Affects some OF
the defendants only. dismisses them out
o: this suit without prejudice. and with
out expressing any opinion concerning
their legality"
View Of G r. Baer.
President George F. Baer. OF the
Reading railroad. minimizes the impor-
tance Of the decision and says he has
always been indifferent to the 6 per
cent contracts.
General Manager A. F. Law. OF the
Temple Iron Company. declares the an.
nulment Of the S5 per cent contracts
will cause a jump Of 81 a ton on a large
part Of the coal going TO market.

Madison and Keokuk teams are tied

Fort Madison, and also with Keokuk.
This was early in the season and as
to the respective strength of the

The Cure Of This Case Is of

street, Memphis, Tenn, has recently
told Of cure in his family that will in-
serest every nervous sufferer. Parents

CULLENNE MURDER rs
STILL A MYSTERY
coroner's Jury Stands by Original
Verdict of Death by Strangula-
ton While Many Doubt.

The coroner's Jury has concluded
it's inquiry into the cause of the death
of Ellen Cullene, who was found dead
in the ruins Of her home south or
Warsaw
The jury stands by it's original YER
diet of death due to strangulation
from hands unknown to the jury"
Detective Richard Stanley of Chi
cago, believes that the woman was
not murdered. He thinks that she
may have been suddenly seized with
an attack of heart trouble and that
she may have fallen over and ignited
her clothing with the candle she car
ried. He also found the frames OF
several pocketboolss which were
closed.
Andrew Koch, who worked for the
dead woman, said that he had seen
several sacks of coins around the
house and also knew that she kept
two revolvers under her pillow. Meth
err the revolyers or her watch were
found.
The November 2S issue of the mag
azine of the Christian Orphans a.

praising Ellen Cullene for her gifts to
the institution. 1t says that she was
