SOUTHERN RY.
RESPONSIBLE
FAILURE OF PORT TOWNS
TO BECOME IMPORTANT
SHIPPING POINTS
THE "COAL TRUST"
By Control of Certain Lines I'm
pair Rates To Towns Supplied
By Coal Shipped By Water
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, July 2O.-Edwin J.
Berwind, of New York, director and
officer in many railway companies,
steamship lines and coal companies
was charged today by B. L. Dulaney,
of Bristol, Tenn, with chief RESPONSE
bility for failure Of the Southern Rail-
way to permit Charleston, Fernan-
dina, Jacksonville and Savannah from
developing into important coal ship
ping ports.
Mfr. Dulaney was the only witness
heard today by the senate sub-commit-
tee which is investigating the charge
that the Morgan iterests are controll-
ing the coal rates of the Southern
Railway and developing the Pennsvl-
yania coal fields and ports between
Norfolk and New. Yodrk to the detri-
ment OF ports further south.
|, Through a system of interlochng
directorates, Mr.. Dulaney charges, the
'"coal trust" has been able to control
the lines tapping important coal fields
in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky
and to impose freight rates which
make it impossible for coal from these
fields to move to Charleston or other
southern ports which now are sup
piled with Pennsylvania or West Vir-
ginia coal shipped by water from Bal
timore or Norfolk. ......5..
Washington, July >20.-1nvest1gation
Of the charges that the Southern Rail-
way and other lines at the behest OF
a "coal trust" diverted to Norfolk,
New York and other middle Atlantic
ports, shipments of coal which should
20 to Charleston and other ports
south, was begun today before a SEN
ate committee.
B. l.. Dulaney, of Bristol, Tenn, de-
clared the Southern Railway had
spent $15,O0O,000 for feeders in Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia tap
ping rich coal fields but made rates
discriminating against Charleston be-
cause of "coal trust" influence.
Northern railroads, MT. Dulaney
charged, are principal agents of the
strust" in fixing rates over the roads
of the south. He characterized tne
Associated Railways of Virginia ana
the Carolinas as merely subsidiary
of the Tidewater Bituminous Steam
Coal Traffic Association, and declared
the PENNSYLVANIA, the New York Cen
trail were in control of the executive
committees Of the Baltimore and Ohio,
the Chesapeake and Ohio, and the
Norfolk and Western railroads.
Charles Lanier, George F. Baker, B..
J Berwind, Adrian Iselin, Jr., E. H.
Cary. Charles Steele and H. K. Nc
Harg were named by the witnesses as
the men who actually direct the af-
airs of the Southern Railway and its
subsidiary lines.
1.-The actual stock ownership OF a.
these men in the Southern Railway
company" said Mr. Dulaney, us hard
ly enough to buy a good plantation IN
South Carolina or forty acre orange
grove in Florida" Their positions as
members Of intepfocking directorates,
he added, was what gave them mas
terry of the Southern.
Alfred P. Thorn, general counsel TOR
the Southern Railway, represented
that company at the hearing. sessions
will be resumed tomorrow.

When she reached home after confer
ring with NJ. Monier she was still de-
batting as to what to do-whether to
go to the Figaro Offices and see Cal
mette or to tea party. Finally she
decided to leave a letter for her hus-
band when she went to the Figaro.
Judge 'Albsnel read the letter, which
was as follows:
"My beloved husband: When I told
you this morning Of my interview with
President Monier who informed me
that we have in France no law to pro-
tect us against the calumnies of the
press, you said to me that one of these
days you would smash the face of the
ignoble Calmette. l realized that your
decision was irrevocable. My resolve
was then made-I shall do justice.
France and the republic need you. 1
will do the deed.
"If, this letter reaches you, you will
know that have done or have done or
tried to do justice. Forgive me, but
my patience is exhausted.
81 love and embrace you from the
depths Of my heart.
Your Henriette."
Judge Albanel--Bxplain this letter
which the prosecutor relies upoQ to
establish premeditation."
Nine. Caillaux-"I never meant to
say that in going to the Figaro office
I had resolved to shoot Calmette.
81 had not made up my mind what /
should do. had made it perfectly
clear to Miss Baxter (the English gov
ernessJ that she must not give the let
ter to my husband If 1 had not return
ed at seven" -
Coming to the scene of the tragedy,
Nine. CaillauX began to sob. For a
time she was unable to utter word.
The Judge referring 70 his notes
gently repeated to hei the facts
brought out in the magistrates exam
nation. She nodded her head. Final
ly he said: Come, come, Madame
Caiilaux! What exactly happened"
Il do not know" she said in burst
of tears Il fired. I did not think l
had hit him; it is frightful that these
revolvers go off by themselves.
The people in the court room laugh
ed, even the judges. Nine. Caillaux
looked indignant and exclaimed: "It
was all so quick. l assure you I can
not tell you precisely what happened.
She began sobbing again and cried
out: 81 regret it infinitely"
Do you maintain your statement
made to the examining judge that you
at no time intended to kill M. Cal
mette?"
Certainly, sir, only meant to
make a scandal. I fired low in the di-
rection of his feet. 1t is such a
dreadful burden for me to carry all
my life that have killed a man.
"Why should have killed him:
Never had l said that the punish
ment Of Calmette should be death
Would have thus renouneed every
thing, the affection of my husband
and my daughter, to go and kill?
"In trying to avoid catastrophe
7 have made it irreparable for myself
my daughter, my poor papa. I had
done better to have allowed anything
to have been published"
She fell back upon chair shaker
with sobs. The judge again inquired
: "Have you anything more to say?'
II regret it from the depths Of my
heart" replied Nine. Caillaux.
