U. S. WINS LACkAWANNA SUIT
Long Standing Action Disassociates
Railroads and Coal Companies.

WASHINGTON = The supreme
court reversed the federal district
court in New Jersey, which dismissed
the governments Sherman law and
commodities clause suit against the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Coal company.
Department of justice officials said
the courts decision was a clean-cut
victory in the governments long fight
to compel disassociatiOn of the rail
roads and their coal companies. The
government charged that contract by
which the railroad sold to the coal
company its coal was not bona-fde
transaction and violated both the
antitrust law and the commodities
clause of the Hepburn rate law.

MAN WHO POSED AS
DR.. MEYER ADMITS IT
Mystery Of Sensational Spy Tale
Is Cleared Up.

NEW YORK = Count Won Bern
storff's good faith as German am
bassador to this country was assailed
last week in news articles charging
that DR.. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, Ger
man Red Cross lecturer who sailed
for Germany under the protection Of
the United States was really DR.. Mey-
er, a German army officer. 1t was
further asserted that the ambassador
had knowingly tricked President Viii
son into giving safe convoy home to
a man who had been buying arms and
ammunition here and studying Amer
ica's preparedness for war. There
now comes to light story of man
which, if true, clears up the confus-
sion over the identity of Dr. Meyer
and DR.. Meyer-Gerhard. This man,
himself a United States citizen, ad-
n1its that he posed as DR.. Meyer,
nrivy councillor of the first rank and
chief of the department of army sup
plies of the imperial German ministry
of war.
The story of this man, his hand
writing, ETC., tally with those of the
man described by Mrs. Selma Lewis,
who declared he was DR.. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard. He denies many OF
Mrs. Lewis statements and says he
is an American citizen who posed as
Dr.. Meyer in order to obtain evidence
of official graft in connection with the
sale of Krag- Jorgensen guns, discard
ed by the United States. He &C
knowledges he failed to get any evi-
dence whatever on the subject. His
story is vouched for by DR.. Carl
Schimmel, German, who introduced
him to Mrs. Lewis.

WARDEN ALIENS WIFE SLAIN
Her Head Crushed In and She Is
Burned to Death in Joliet Prison.

Burned to Death in Joliet Prison.
CHICAGO Mrs. Edward M.
Allen, wife of the warden, was muir
dered in her bed room on the third
floor of the administration building OF
tne state penitentiary at Joliet early
Sunday morning.
It is believed that an attempt was
made to attack Mrs. Allen before she
was struck down Then, when she
was either dead or unconscious, her
body was placed on the bed, a guam
tity of wood alcohol poured over it,
and the bed clothes ignited.
The crime was accomplished with
in remarkably short space of time,
as the electric buzzer, by which Mrs.
Allen made her calls for the convict
who acted as house servant in the
warden's private quarters had sound
ed but a few minutes before two
other convicts, who had not been able
to find the houseman, made their way
to the third floor of the building to
answer the call, and found smoke
emptying into the hall and the room
aflame. Suspicion rests chiefly upon
Chicken Joe" Campbell, negro
trusty who worked about the warden's
quarters He is being subjected TO
rigid examinations and has told sew
eral conflicting stories.

FRANK SAVED
FROM CALLOWS
Sentence Of Convicted Slayer Is
COMMITTED On Eve Of Hanging.
GOVERNOR GRANTS LIFE TERM

Prisoner Is Secretly Removed From
Atlanta Jail to Prison Farm at
MilIedgevilIe Under a Heavy Guard
as Precaution Against Any Demon
stration Which Might Result.
ATLANTA, GA. = Leo M. Frank
under sentence for the murder of Mary
Phagan, was secretly removed from
the county Jail here shortly after
midnight and taken under heavy guard
to the state prison farm at Milledge-
vile, upon orders of Governor Slaton.
Governor Slaton announced that he
had committed the sentence of Frank
from death to life Imprisonment.
He said he had ordered the prisoner
removed to Milledgeville as precau-
ton against any demonstration which
might result from any decision he
might make.
!. Removal Carefully Effected.
Franks removal from the jail here
was carefully planned and the officers
were able to elude newspaper men
ano others who might have recognized
the prisoners. Leaving the jail by a
rear door shortly before midnight they
went in an automobile to the terminal
station, where a deputy purchased
tickets for the party to Macon. Frank
was not handcuffed and was without
the heavy spectacles he usually wears.
A black slouched hat was pulled down
over his face
The few persons who were in the
railway station at the time failed to
recognize him, and it was more than
an hour after midnight before the
report was circulated that he had been
moved from the cell he had occupied
for many months.
At Griffin, Ca, Pullman conductor
said he had recognized Frank in his
car, but efforts to confirm his asser-
ton at first were futile. Telephone
connections with the county jail here
had been cut off and Jail officers re.
fused to CERTIFY the report.
Take Motor Car at Macon.
Governor Slaton was at his country
home, several miles from the city, and
telephone connection with his home
also had been cut.
When the train reached Macon sew
eral persons at the station saw the
sheriff and the prisoner leave their
car, and Frank was positively identi-
! fed. Obtaining an automobile, the
party started from Macon Immediately
for Milledgeville, distance Of thirty
one miles, arriving st the state farm
| at 1870 o'clock in the morning.

WASHINGTON, d. C. = The Inter

case was restored to the docket for
reargument by the supreme court.
This postpones a decision until fall
at least.
The court acted Unexpectedly and
on its own initiative in ordering re-
argument of the Harvester case. 1t
had been asked by neither the gov
eminent nor the company. Reargu-
ments generally are ordered when the
court stands very close on a deci-
sion.

BUSINESS MEN ASK
FOR LAW TO MAKE
RAILROADS OBEY
Legislature Will Be Urged
to Give Commission Full
Authority to Enforce Its
Requirements.

Legislation giving unquestionable jurls-
diction to the Pennsylvania Public Serv-
Ice Commission over the rates of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and all other rail-
roads operating within the State, will be
urged by the Transportation Committee
OF the United Business Mems Association
before the Legislature at Harrisburg as
result of the argument for rehearing of
the passenger rate increase case before
the commission last Friday.
Attorneys for both the Pennsylvania
and the Reading delivered on that occa-
sion an ultimatum to the commuters and
to the commission that. should the effort
to reduce the passenger rates be contin-
ued. the railroads would at once institute
proceedings questioning the right of the
commission to pass upon the rates of the
two companies on account of their charter
rights, as fixed by the State Legislature.
Earlier In the rate controversy between
the commuters and the railroads, the
railroad attorneys declared that the Penn
sylvania commission did not have the
right TO suspend proposed rate advances
pending a formal hearing.
This question, too. will be taken be-
fore the Legislature by the Business
Mems Association and an effort will be
made to have legislation passed settling
beyond dispute the powers and preroga-
tiyes OF the commission In respect to
railroad passenger rates.
In a statement issued today the asso-
citation declares that the railroads are
not in a position legally to free them
selves from the jurisdiction of the COM
mission.
