Fields Will outlast Competitors.

"At the current rate of mining, the
brief says. "the coal areas of the com
panies thus leagued and combined to-
gether, according to the generally ac-
cepted calculations of geologists and
mining engineers. will outlast by many
years those of any competitor. In time,
therefore. this combination if not dis
solved. will own or control every ton
Of commercially available anthracite
known to exist; and while in almost
any other branch of industry it is at
least possible for a monopoly to be
broken by the influx of fresh capital
attracted by high profits. against a
monopoly of anthracite, the supply OF
which is limited, there can be no such
protection-only the law can afford re
lief"
The government makes the usual plea
that the several coal companies and
railroads constituting the combination
be completely separated from each 9TH
er and erected into independent units.

IN READING CASE
Official Says ''Anthracite Mo-

Attorney General Gregory today filed

cision of federal district court in
Pennsylvania refusing the govern

Sherman antitrust act and the com

Of the Reading Company. called "the
backbone of the alleged monopoly of

The combina ton. the brief says, has a
history permeated with illegality and
characterized by a deliberate purpose
to drive others from the field, resulting
in increased prices out Of proportion to
increased production costs.

that the Reading Holding Company
(the Reading Company through its
subsidiaries, Reading Coal Company

trolls the production, transportation and
sale of anthracite coal from lands in
the Schuylkill region tributary to the
lines of Reading Railway Company, and
that this control was acquired and is
maintained by other than normal meth

It further contends that the Reading

man should be so partisan that the
mote of prejudice is permitted to
blind him to the good things done
by the other fellow. More especial

PICTURESQUE PREACHER
WINS GOVERNORSHIP

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 1S.-Rev.
Sidney j. Cats has won the Gov
einorship of Florida after one of the
Interest campaigns the Peninsula
State ever experienced He defeated
both the regular Democratic nomi-
nee and the Republican aspirant. II
was the first public Office Cats ever
held but not the first he ever ran
for.
Mr.. Cats was first heard of in pol
itics twelve years ago when he aban-
doned his calling as Baptist preacher
to run for Congress in the Fifth Ala
bama District against J. Tom Helin,
the noted Alabama orator. Cats
didn't carry a county, and got but
few votes.
Soon after this he moved from mid
die Alabama to southeast Alabama,
close to the Florida line, where he
participated in politics, seeking Of
flee unavailingly. About five years
ago he moved into Florida.
He announced himself as a candi-
date for Governor in the Democratic
primaries, but no one paid much at
tention to him, until he began State
wide stumping campaign in which
he urged Statewide prohibition and
favored laws giving the State juris-
diction over religious schools, con-
vents and hospitals.
These issues were popular and OIL
the face of the returns, he was NOM
mated by a few votes. The nomina-
ton was contested by S. V. Knott
and in the recount by the Democrat
ic Committee, number of Cats
votes were thrown out and Knott de-
clared the nominee.
Supported by Tom Watson, the IA
nous Georgia populist, Cats an
nounced himself as a candidate be
fore the people in the general cleo
ton and his religious issue was again
made prominent. The Democratic
committees nominee was repudiated
save in the city counties of Florida,
and Cats was elected by approx
mately 10000 votes.
Mr.. Cats is about fifty years old,
and worked at various callings before
taking up the ministry. He is a pic
turesque and rugged character. apt
to call a spade spade either in the
pulpit or the Governors chair. His
friends declare he must have pOlIed
a fourth more votes than are shown
on the face of the returns.

BUY BELTS OF WAMPUM
THAT BELONGED TO penn

New York, Nov. 20.-Purchase OF
two treaty belts of wampum given
by Indians to William Penn. found
er of Pennsylvania, was announces
today by the Museum of the Ameri-
can Indian, Heye Foundation. The
belts, according to information re-
ceived by the museum. were present
ed to Penn on the occasion of the
making of the famous Film treaty
and purchases of land from the In
dians at Shackamaxon in 1852 or
1853.
The belts are similar to one now
in the possession of the Historical So
ciety of Pennsylvania and with it are
believed to have marked the conclu-
sion of three treaties between Penn
and the Indians. They were sold
at auction in England last July to
the purchaser of the Penn estate at
Portland, England
1t is claimed that by the giving of
these belts the Indians pledged
themselves to live in love with Will
liam Penn and his children so long
as the sun and moon shall endure. a"

Exports OF electrical equipment
during the month of August last
reached the record total of $3.50
1856, according to the Electrical
World. The largest previous month
was May, when the value of electri-
cal goods shipped abroad was 49,
$4,000, or over $4,000 less than
the August total.
Compared with August, 1915,
figures, those for 1916 take on still
brighter aspect. In August, 1915,
the value of electrical goods export
ed was S1,SOG,292. 50 that the Au-
gust, 1916, exports were practically
100 per cent greater than those for
August, 1915. In almost every line
the August, 1915, exports were great
err than those of year previous.
During the first eight months of
the current year electrical exports
have had a value Of $23,52S,623 in
comparison with S14,976,659 and
$13,654,56s during the correspond
ing periods of 1915 and 1914 re-
spectively.
Estimates based on the exports to
August 81 last place the 1915 ex-
ports at over $4,000, 700, the larg-
est year in the history of American
manufacture of electrical goods.

Colony first establish the custom Of
observing our American Thanksgiy-

Its National celebration in rccogni-

was first recommended by proclama-
dion of President Lincoln in 1868.
IL has since been observed annually
and usually falls on the last Thurs

The attempt to change the date
this year failed and next Thursday
has been set aside by President VIII
