Government Orders Railroads
to Dissolve Coal Business.
Supreme Court Holds Combine
in Restraint of Trade.

Washington. April 26.-The govern
ment today finally won one of the
famous anthracite coal cases when the
supreme court decided that the Read
ing railroad must give up holdings in
various coal companies and in other
roads.
The coal combination OF the rail-
roads and mining concerns was held
TO be violation of the antitrust law.
The court declared the whole COM
bination must be dissolved
The decision was a complete victory
for the government, the court en-
phatically denouncing the combina-
ton of the railroads and the coal COM
panies, and declaring that the great
power obtained had been used to re-
strain commerce.
The merger OF the Reading, the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and
the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal COM
pany was declared a plain attempt to
eliminate competition and to virtually
control the anthracite supply of Penn
sylvania.
The decree dissolves the combina-
ton of the Reading Holding company,
the Philadelphia & Reading railroad,
the Philadelphia & Reading Coal &
Iron company, the Central Railroad of
New Jersey and the Lehigh & Wilkes
barre Coal company.

Buried i'm Barn.

Hutchinson. Kan, April 26.-James
H. White made a full confession this
morning to the Staying of Weyman
Crews, Greensburg farmer, and his
wife at the Crews farm on Sunday,
April IS, according to announcement

White calmly related the details of
the double crime to County Attorney
j. d. Beck and Sheriff Charles
Stephenson in the county Jail here this
morning. He had previously acknowl-
edged the killing while in the Pratt
county Jail, and it was this that led
the authorities to bring him still
further from the scene OF the crime,
where feeling runs high. White gave
as his reason that he desired posses
sion of the farm and could not get it
otherwise. The authorities here have
kept Whites presence secret. They de-
MED Saturday that the prisoner was
here.
The missing couple were found Fri
day by searchers buried in shallow
graves in two stalls of the barn on the
Crews farm. White was arrested i'm
mediately afterward along with his
wife and a son of the latter. They
were both absolved in Whites confes-
sion and were released today from the
Pratt county Jail.

|. C. TAKES Up RAIL CASE
Judges Hearing Testimony in Station
ary Engineers Wage Demands.

ary Engineers Wage Demands.
Judges Huggins and Wark today
took up the wage troubles of the
Brotherhood of Stationary Engineers
and Firemen. Protests were filed by
the railroads when the brotherhood
sought to include in it's demands en-
ployes other than those listed.
1t is the assertion of the brother
hood officers that their membership
includes a large number of persons
other than those actually engaged as
stationary engineers and firemen. At
torneys for the various roads told the
court they had not been advised as to
the scope of brotherhood membership.
The court then continued the case un-
til this afternoon in order that a full
statement regarding employees affected
might be filed.
Officers of the railroad brotherhood
filed application with the court sew
eral weeks ago asking for a general
wage increase. The railroads raised
a jurisdictional question in their an
swers. Judges of the court held their
jurisdiction was sufficiently broad to
permit a review of the wage scale.
The court will hear testimony and ar
guments from brotherhood representa-
tiYes and railroad attorneys. 1t is
probable the question of jurisdiction
may be raised in an appeal to the su-
preme court following an order by the
court.
