the tremendous heat generated by the
gas which heats the coke in the ovens
is carried off into a stack and thence
permitted to go to waste in the air
led Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby
to declare that he has long wondered
why this heat is not utilized to generate
steam with which to manufacture cleo
tricity or the product Of some other
public utility
T. e. Crosier, superintendent of the
Prospect plant, replied that this is be-
ing done in many places and admitted
that should coal get higher in price ii
would be very reprehensible TO let this
source Of power go to waste.
The company has no money with which
to install equipment which would utilize
this wasted heat, it was stated
The party was particularly interested
in the water gas equipment at the Langs-
dale plant.
This equipment, which is capable OF
making 100000 cubic feet of gas per
day, is used only when the coke oven
equipment cannot supply the demand.

READING CASE
DECISION MADE
Supreme Court Upholds Govern
mems Contentious and Or
ders Company Dissolved.
PENDING SINCE 1913
Vote Was to 3 With Chief
Justice White Dissenting;
Two Did Not Vote.

Washington, April 26.-Announcins
it's decision in a part of the long pend
ing anthracite coal trust cases, today
the supreme court in a four to three
opinion sustained a majority of the
governments charges of illegal COM
bination against the Reading COM
pany, a Pennsylvania holding corpo-
ration, and certain of it's railroad
and coal subsidiaries and ordered
their dissolution.
No copy of the majority opinion
was available as Justice Clark was
rendering it. The Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company and the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Coal. Company are
associated with the Reading COM
panies as defendants and a constant
reference to the words ''Lehigh Com
pany" throughout the reading caused
an opinion to exist that the So called
Lehigh case. which actually refers
to the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, was also being decided. This
was argued at the same time last fall.
1t was an hour later before it was
found the high court acted on the
Reading case alone.
The Reading and Central of New
Jersey railroads, the court decided
must dispose of stock ownership, re-
spectively. of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company and
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company. sgss
BY vote of four to three, the SUI
preme court sustained the govern
ment's charges that the companies
violated the commodities clause of
the Interstate Commerce act and or
dered the dissolution of the COM
panies.
Justice Clark rendered the decision
for the majority, while Chief Justice
White in a minority opinion in which
Associate Justices Holmes and Van
Devanter Joined, said the minority
was in favor of accepting the opinion
of the lower court.
Justice Clarke, in the majority de-
cision, held that the Reading Hold
ing Company, in its control of the
railroad as well as the coal corpora
tions, was formed to evade the Sher-
man law. The court reversed lower
federal court decisions, which had
dismissed the federal prosecutions.
Justice Clarke, in reviewing the
history of the formation of the COM
panys, said competition of Interstate
Commerce had been suppressed
Chief Justice White in a minority
opinion said the minority was in favor
of accepting the lower courts opinion
Associate Justices McReynolds and
Brandeis did not participate in the
decision. Justice McReynolds was at
torney general during the time the
government prosecuted the suit, which
was instituted in 1913.

San Reno, April 26-The common
declaration adopted at the close of the
san Reno conference states that Ger
nYany cannot be allowed to retain an
army Of 100000 instead of 100000, as
she asks, as long as Germany is fail
ing to meet the most important obli-
cations of the peace treaty.
a The supreme council adopted the
Franco British declaration with regard
to Germany after inserting a clause
declaring it's readiness to take all
measures. even the occupation of ad-
ditional territory if necessary. to as
sure the carrying out of the treaty of
Versailles.
The adoption of this clause gave
rise TO some discussion. Premier Nitti
Of Italy opposed military measures.

however, showed the Italian prime
minister the necessity of considering
such an eventuality.

Reports that the Adriatic question,

council in accordance with President
Wilson's program. appeared from San
Reno advices last night to be at least
premature 1t was stated that the set
tlement proposed by Premier Nitti, al
though following generally the lines
of President Wilson's note of Decem-
Der 9. varied from it by including a
constitution for the buffer state of
Fiume, to which both the French and
British premiers objected. considering
that it limited too largely the character
of the new state. Premier Nitti, it
was said. was informed by both the
French and British delegations that
Italy should either accept President
Wilson's plan or abide by the pact of
London which gave Fiume to the Jugo
