TO ATTACK COAL
TRUST SOON
Attorney General Preparing Pa
pers For: Suit
ACTION AGAINST READING
The Sherman Antitrust Law to Be
invoked to Break President Baer's
Control Of New Jersey Central.

The Sherman Antitrust Law to Be
Invoked to Break President Raer's
Control Of New Jersey Central.
Washington. May 10.-The Wilson
administration Is about to move to
break up the Readings control of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey.
It was acknowledged at the depart
ment of justice that papers are in
course Of preparation for suit under
the Sherman antitrust law designed
to accomplish that end.
This action by the federal govern
ment will revive one of the disturbing
features Of the governments s-.ii
against the so-called anthracite trusi
which was disposed of when the Unit
ed States supreme court handed down
its recent important decision in thet
case It will be the elimination of
the step in a series of efforts on the
part Of the federal government to
smash the so-called hard coal trust.
When taken in connection with the
departments announcement in regard
to the New York, New Haven & Hard
ford railroad, this development has an
added significance. Attorney General
McReynolds has announced that a
special counsel is to be appointed by
him for the purpose of examining the
entire New Haven situation, with a
view of moving in the courts if he
finds that conditions warrant such
proceedings.
These two developments indicate for
the first time that the new administra-
tons attitude toward the railroads is
to be aggressive.
In the so-called anthracite trust de-
cision handed down last December the
supreme court held that the govern
ment had failed to establish the gen
eral combination charged against the
coalcarrying roads for apportioning
the total tonnage to seaboard by agree
ment between them.
The court did find that the principal
defendants had combined for the nur
pose of shutting out from the anthra
cite field projected Independent line
and 1t also held that the so-called con
tracts by which Independent producers
agreed to deliver the output of their
mines to the railroads for IS per cent
of the price at tidewater were in vic
lation of the Sherman law.
On the questions which had been OF
the greatest concern to the business
world the supreme court failed to pass
These were charges involving alleged
violations of the commodities clause
through owenrship by the railroads o
their coal companies and violations OF
the Sherman law through the control
by the Reading of the Central of New
Jersey and by the Erie of the New
York, Susquehanna & Western.
The particular point of attack in
the Reading case will be the acquisi
ton in 1901 by the Reading company,
owning the Philadelphia & Reading
railway. and a coal company by
similar name, of the Central Railroad
Of New Jersey, with it's coal com
panies. Other suits against direct an
indirect alliances of coal carryin'
railroads and coal mining compan,e
will follow.

Joseph Made Ruler Of Egypt.
The Story.

The Story.
From the prison cell to throne
room is a startling, abrupt transit
ton. But really Joseph had paved
every step%of the way, and 1t had
taken him thirteen years to do IT,
He had gotten the honey out of the
eater by submitting to chastenlng
providences. He worked out his
cwn salvation with fear and trembl-
ing. At the same time God was
working through him those benefi-
cent purposes which have always
been his pleasure He intended to
bless Joseph and make him bless
inc. And Joseph, by his patience,
industry, and piety, put himself In
the way of getting and being
blessing. Joseph's experiences were
trying in the extreme: To be torn
away from home and kindred; just
when he thought himself a prince,
TO find himself a slave; after ten
years of faithful service, to sudden
ly and most unjustly lose the conf
dence of his master; to stand char
ged with an odious crime with no
chance of proving innocence. 1t
looked to Joseph as if he had trav-
sled the wide circle of sorrow to
find himself in the pit once more
from which there was the least pos
sible likelihood of his ever being lib
Grated. Leave all hope behind,
who enter here" might well be In
scribed on a demijohn dungeon OF
Egypt. David says they hurt JOS
eph's feet with letters, and laid
him in iron. And Stephen joins
Amos in speaking pathetically OF
the "afflictions of Joseph" How
the tempter must have gibed him.
"A pretty fulfillment. this, of all
bis brilliant dreams" 1t was enough
to make heart and flesh fail. The
average man would have given up
TO inanity-would have become a
spiritless drudge. But Joseph was
quite more than an average man.
His fortitude and faith shine bright
iy against the dark background of
Egyptian slavery and Imprisonment.
The young Hebrew made the very
best of his circumstances. He &C
quired the language, observed the
manners and customs, detected the
defects in public administration, as
no native would have been apt to
Rave done. He managed the con-
siderable estates of POtiphar with
such fidelity as to prepare him to
administer well the vast empire OF
Pharaoh. And when his environ
nent narrowed down to prison
walls ne awaited himself OF his
enforced seclusion to reflect upon
what he had observed. He kept
himself unpolluted by the vices in
cident to prison life. Like a swan,
he sailed down the corridors reeking
with moral filth, and kept himself
unsullied. Wherefore God highly
exalted him and gave him a name
above every mortal name of his age.
We say God did it; and we have
just said Joseph did it. Paradoxical,
tut true. There is no clearer e1-
ample of the cooperation of the
Divine and human. Joseph worked
and God worked. The result was,
the prisoner was metamorphosed in
tc the prince.

The Teachers Lantern.

A veritable revelation Egypt was
&c the alert mind of Joseph. Imagine
his first sight of a pyramid. To
his wondering eye it must have ap-
peared like a shepherds tent of
Canaan, grown to colossal size, and
petrified, with the antiquity of two
thousand years already upon it..
What has been aptly called the ere
served grandeur" of the Nile-land
architecture must have left its last
ing impression upon the shepherd
lad. The weird and manifold ideali-
cation of animal forms must have
excited curiosity, followed by reflec-
ton. Egypt was to Joseph school
room crowded with object lessons.
lie was getting all the advantages
OF foreign travel and residence. He
was coming in contact with one
CT the eldest and best civilizations
of earth. He was reading its litera-
ture, studying its laws. observing Its
customs. That was what Providence
sent him to Egypt for. Dreamed in,
dreamed out of prison, Joseph was.
The narration of his dreams
prophetical of his preferment was
the immediate cause of his hard
let. His successful Interpretation
Of Pharaoh's dream was the means
Of his deliverance.
