ment with astonishment and It was dis
cussed to the exclusion of almost every
thing else today.
Representative Moore, speaking before
the House on the rivers ana narbors bill
yesterday, declared that delay on the
part of the Government engineers to
dredge the Delaware River to depth Of
81 feet to Allegheny avenue might result
in the cancellation by the Navy OF the
contract to deliver coal from Philadelphia.
The Government has contract to take
coal from the Pennsylvania contractors.
The coal Is delivered from piers in the
upper Delaware. Because of the delay Of
the Government engineers in complying
with the law, Representative Moore says
a collier carrying coal from that point
recently went ashore. The contractors
have now been notified that the coal must
henceforth be delivered from Norfolk.
Mr. Moore says he Is prepared to re-
veal startling condition and to show
the public, among other things, why the
Delaware River always gets a small APP
preparation I'm comparison with other pro-
jects His speech yesterday was prepara-
tory TO the development of his intention
to disclose the alleged treaty, he said
Recent tests of bituminous coal from
Pennsylvania have proven its accepta-
bility to the United States Navy" said
Mr. Moore, "and contracts for delivery
at Philadelphia indicate that the navy

threaten to do the port an iniusticb and
place the Government at possible loss
'T do not intend at this time to fur
ther discuss the question Of coal for
steamlng purposes, or the proficiency Of
naval captains, or pilots to safely navi-
gate the river, but do desire TO draw
attention to the fact that In the matter
of certain coal shipments recently made
the port of Philadelphia has suffered IA
the interest OF other ports having a
channel depth of 80 feet
Testimony recently given before the
Committee on Naval Affairs presents an
unusual condition with regard to the mat
ter Of coal. In order to circumvent what
was believed to be combination to COM
troll the price OF coal delivered at Nor
folk, the Secretary of the Navy discov-
cred new source of coal supply In
Pennsylvania. One of the great coliierH
of the navy came up TO the port Of
Philadelphia and departed with load OF
this coal. Now we hear that channel
depths are again under discussion IN
the departments and that coal that
should have been shipped from Phiia-
delphia may be shipped to other ports
at an increased expense to the Govern
ment."

COAL ROADS WILL
CARRY APPEAL TO
DAUPHIN COURTS
Pennsylvania and Reading
Companies Decide to Con-
test Commissions Order
for 40-Cent Reduction.

The reduction of 40 cents n ton in the
from the Schuylkll, Lehigh and Wyo-
ming districts to Philadelphia, which
was ordered recently by the Pennsylvania
Public Service Commission, is to be con-
tested in the Dauphln County courts. The
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railway Companies,
together with the smaller coal-haullng
companies, have decided to make joint
appeal directly to the courts instead of
asking the Commission for q rehearing
of the case
It was announced from the offices OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to-
day that the appeal would be made to-
morrow or Thursday. In the statement,
announcing the intention of the railroads
to fight the case, 1t was said that the re-
duction, II allowed to stand, would have
diminished the net revenue of the Penn
sylvanla by approximately $15OO,000 a
year, the net revenue of the Reading
by approximately 100000, and that of
the other companies by several hundred
thousand dollars.

the carriers" the statement concludes,
demands that immediate action shall be
taken to protect their revenues from such
widespread destruction as is involved
under this order of the Pennsylvania Pub
lie Service Commission"
William N. Trinkle, counsel for the
Commission, will probably oppose the
contention of the railroads instead of the
attorneys who originally argued the con-
ar.G -t1 80 tIa r1
son and Harold s. Sheriff. The latter at
torneys, however, will cooperate with the
Commission in fighting the railroads ap-
peal.
The railroad companies have obtained
copies OF the record of the hearings, COW
ering nearly two years, and have been
working on the appeals for some time.
although no notice of their intentions
first served on December 2s, but 1t
had been made public today.
The order of the commission was
later was discovered that, owing to
clerical error the date when the new
rates were to become effective was jan
uary u instead of IS. as intended.
new order correcting this was served jan
uary s.
Had the railroads decided to ask the
commission for a rehearing instead OF
appealing to the courts, January 20 would
have been the final date for this action,
as 10 days is allowed to appeal to the
commission from its order
According to the order, the rates are
to become effective January IS. From this
date a period of 80 days is allowed the
railroads to put the order into effect pro-
vided they do not appeal.
At the expiration of this time, pro-
vided no appeal has been made, they are
subject to a penalty of $50 day for the
violation OF the commissions order.
Further, the officers of the companies
who are responsible for the failure to
carry out tho order shall be guilty of
misdemeanor and subject upon con-
viction TO $500 fine or imprisonment from
/ 10 12 months, and to fine Of 5000 or
Imprisonment from to Is months for
each subsequent ofrense.
