ALLEGED COAL TRUST
TO Be INVESTIGATED
Request Made by Representative Muir.
ray will Be Complied with
at Once.
OTHER INQUIRIES UNDER WAY

Representative Murray's request for an
Trust to be made by the Department of
Justice and the Interstate Commerce
Commission through a resolution intro
duced in the House Friday will be met.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is now engaged In investigating the re-
lationsh!p between coal-carrying rail-
roads and coal companies in West
Virginia. PENNSYLVANIA, and Ohio. Sew
eral decisions divesting the railroads
of ownership or direct control over the
coal companies have been made. The in
terlocking relationship between the car
riers and the companies was severely
denounced by the commission.
The Department of Justice, II Is under
stood, contemplated a number of suits
under the antitrust law. which had as
their object the alienation Of ownership
in coal companies by railroads. Much OF
this has been accomplished. IL was stated
at the commission yesterday. by the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Commissioner McChord stated yester-
day that the commission had nothing TO
do with the enforcement Of the Sher-
man law. but that il had jurisdiction
over railroads, insofar as the ownership
in a separate corporation resulted in dis
elimination or unrea sonable rates to
shippers.
Notably in this connection stands the
case brought by the Marion Coal Com
pany and independent concerns against
the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
Railroad. II was alleged in that case
that the railroad dominated the price OF
coal to tidewater to the serious injury
of independent coal operators. The COM
mission in that case ordered the abso-
Lutte dissolution OF the control OF the
railroad in the coal company. Other
cases OF a like nature are still before
the commission.

new AQUEDUCT bridge
FAVORED In REPORT
Col. Lang6tt Believes Its Construction
Necessary 10 Accommodate
Traffic.
PLAN INDORSED BY GEN. BIXBY

| Recommendation for the erection of a
new Aqueduct Bridge between George
town and Rosslyn, Va, has been made
/ by Col. William c. Langtitt, engineer
officer in charge of the Improvement OF
the Potomac River. AMI has been in
dorsed by Gen. Bixby, chief OF engineers
lbf the army. The matter will be pre-
scented hefo.'e the Secretary of War with
In few days.
The reconman idt:on was made follow
ing careful inspection "a the piers OF
tile present bridge which we're found
to be honeycoE,oed with cavities and
gradually craving weaker. Three plans
have beer sugSe sted-the repairing of
the piers, :he su5stiI ution % eI tirely new
piers. and the erection of an absolutely
new bridge. The last plan is viewed
with most favor.
''It is bell wed that the tune has ar
rived when serious steps should be taken
toward some proper remedial action,
reads Col. Langfi't's report. The traf-
nc across his bridge has increased very
la a-Gely in the la.s: few Years. One street
car track has te,n installed across It
and the desIra.!lity of another is evil
dent. Everything points 20 the conciu-
sion that an eLtirc new Eridrc is neces-
sury at this point. Capt. Hannum's es-
tiInate for a new bridge was $4,000, but
it Is not believed that this estimate is
sufficient for the type and style of bridge
required for present and prospective
traffic.
The preparation of tentative plans for
new structure aid estimate of its cost
should be obtained and submitted to Coz
c-,ss for its action as soon as possible.
There are no funds in had which can
be used :or that Iurposa. nasmuch as
the balance now available--sS. .S9O-should
be retained for repairs to the bridge
piers, as the whole of it may be needed
al any moment for that purpose. For
the preparation of these tentative plars
and estimates il is believed that the
sum of Sl0,Up> will be sufficient. 1t is
understood, of course. tr1t the sum
named is not sufficient to get up detailed
sut cifcations and plans. but 1t is thought
ti.at it will be sufficient 20 obtain rea-
sCnably close estimate of cost on which
appropriations can properly be made. The
ertire expenditure for the fiscal year was
Sl.4H, which included engineering, cleri-
cal and office expenses. in addition to that

BELGIUM BARS JACK JOHNSON.
Negro Pugilist Soon Will BE With
out Country to Fight In.

Brussels. Aug. Jack Johnson may
soon be without a country to fight in.
England does not want him. He cam
not return to America because OF the
sentence Of white slavery hanging over
his head. France harbors him. but not
enough to allow him to mix with the
guests in first-class hotels. Now Belgium
has put the ban on him.
Following the announcement that the
champion was to give boxing exhibitions
in Belgium. the minister Of Justice yes
terday issued an order that all boxing
contests in the future should be investi-
gated. This move was made to prevent
taking in matches. The hue and cry
against Johnson's exhibitions in Belgium
became so great. however. that the
minister of justice was forced to issue
another edict. Today he put the lid
down on all boxing. No further matches
whether between blacks or whites or
mixed, will be allowed to be staged in
the kingdom.
