CLAIM COAL
HAULING UNPR0FITABLE

Chicago, III. March 23.-Hauling
coal is one of the most Improbable
businesses railroads do. General
Agent McAulin of the St Louis & San
Francisco railroad so testified today
in the interstate commerce hearing OF
western railroads for an increase in
freight rates.
THE popular mind and railroad bait
er should be disabused of the idea that
coal. with its heavy carloads and
heavy train loads, is a necessary foun-
dation of traffic" said McAuiiff. at
IS often said a railroad should haul
coal at any price and make its profits
on hauling other products. That Is not
true. Coal movement Is spasmodic.
Instead of being adapted to filing out
our trains. it monopolizes almost our
entire facilities at the worst season of
the year, in cold weather"
Nation, HI-One of the counts OF
the indictment against DR.. Harold L.
Ronalds. the alleged slayer of his wife.
was eliminated. Judge McNntt dis
missed the charge that DIR. Ronalds
struck his wife with his fists. A con-
tinuance of the motion to quash the
Indictment was taken until Tuesday.
