Physicians in attendance on the oar*
dinal on Thursday had gravely 3nti@
mated that crisis was imminent. buH
they said they had hoped the patisRt
would rally today.
Since last Sunday, when the condi-
ton OF the cardinal took a favorable
turn, it had been hoped he would
steadily gain strength and eventually
be in condition to travel to Baltimore
Obviously the doctors had not anttcss
pated the relapse; but this turn they
explained was due to the cardinals
advanced age and consequent infirmi-
ties. The mind of the prelate 10 said
to be perfectly clear.
The turn In the cardinals condition
prompted Right Rev. Owen b. corri-l
gan. auxiliary bishop of Baltimore,
who is associated with st. Gregory's7
church, to issue tonight an official
notice to the Catholic clergymen OF.
the Archdiocese. and through them to.
their congregations. directing prayers
for the recovery of the preiate. or in
lieu OF this for happy death.
The bulletin OF Bishop Corrigaa is as
follows:
The condition of His eminence today
has been less favorable than at any
time during his illness, He has received
the last sacraments and the reverend
pastors are requested to urge their
people to offer prayers for his emin-
ence's speedy recovery or happy death.
All pastors will please have the litany
OF the Blessed Virgin Mary recited after
each mass until further orders for that
intention. All the priests OF the do
cese will add in every mass, when the
rubric permits, the prayers from the
mass pro infrmis.' reciting the same
in the singular number, pro famulo
nostro infirmo' these prayers are to be
recited until further orders. The relig-
ious communities are also asked to re.
double their prayers that almighty God
Will restore His Eminence speedily. II
so be His Holy Will, to strength and
good health"

COAL COLL|ERIES
TO FACE CHARGES
OF PROfITEERINC

New York. Dec. 31.--Tne federal
grand Jury today returned indiet-
ments charging the Haddoek Mining
Co. of Lucerne. Pa. and the Won
storch Galleries Co, Scranton, Pa,
and their exclusive sales agent in this
city, with profteering in the sale of
domestic sizes of anthracite coal in
violation of the Lever act.
Henry Meeker Of Meeker e. Co,
Wholesale dealers, exclusive sales
agent for the two companies. was nam
ed in both indictments. The indict-
ments. returned on evidence furnished
by Armin w. Riley. head of the gov
eminent flying squadron for hunting
down profteers, said that $4,000 tons
of coal were sold lat unfair and un-
reasonable prices" in September. The
Indictment also adds that the COM
pany sold coal mines at from
$12 to SIS ton. when reasonable
price would have been about SS.35 q
ton"
The Won Storch company Is alleged
to have sold 1850 tons of coal dur
ing the same period at prices ranging
from $13 to SIS ton when proper
and reasonable charge would have
been from $3.50 to $685. a ton"
| Prosecutor Riley said that thu
price charged by the two collieries
and Meeker for coal at the mnies was
] greatly in excess" Of that obtained
by retail dealers in this city for coal
delivered here. He asserted that
Meeker had an arrangement with the
two companies for division of profits
and consequently the higher the price
at which he disposed Of the coal the
more profit he got. AS the courts of
Pennsylvania have recently declared
the Lever law to be unconstitutional.
Mr.. Riley said the government would
not proceed against the coal mining
companies in their home district. Sales
charged in the indictments were made
here and consequently brought the Of

Two. Were Pals in
Bay State Prison

Boston. Dec. 31-Eric Lundbiad,
the convict who gave federal author
tiles at Milwaukee the name Of Clio
vanni Costello as man who may
have knowledge of the explosion in
Wall street last September was an
inmate of the Massachusetts state
prison in 1916 at the same time that
Giovanni Costa, alias Louis Costello,
was serving a sentence there.
During Lundblad's last term, which
extended from July Is, 1915 to April
s, last, except for a few months that
he was out on parole, he was very
friendly, according to Warden Elmer
E. Shattuck, with Costa. The two
men. the warden said, were constant
ly together when in the prison yard
Costa was arrested following an
attempt to break into st, Mary's
Roman Catholic church in this city
on March 20, 1915, and was given a
three to five year sentence. He was
released on parole two years ago
today and was at liberty until the
following June when his parole was
revoked. He was again paroled last
May and Warden Shattuck said
today he believed he went to Wash
ington at that time.
Prison records show that Costa
was born in Italy 80 years ago and
had been in this country about six
years when he was arrested here.
He was not naturalized and Accord
ing to Warden Shattuck. was an
avowed anarchist. His aliases. in
addition to Louis Costello, were VAL
eric and Vanzi, the warden said.
Lundblad claimed Spencer, Mass,
as his home but said he was born in
Sweden and had served two years
in prison at Holmesburg, Pa. He
was sent to the state prison here for
larceny.

Light & Power Co, the Penobscot
Bay Electric Co., the Scion Electric
Light Co. and the Bath & Brunswick
Light & Power Co, with the excep-
ton of the gas~plant of the Penob-
scot Bay &C. located at Belfast. Au-
thority is also given under the de-
cision to the various companies to
sell their plants to the Central Maine
Power Co.
The decision stipulates that the
Central Maine Power Co. as soon as
possible shall cause the capital stock
of each Of the companies to be cam
celled and retired so that the same
may not be re-issued or sold to the
public, except that if it sees fit it may
retain either in it's own treasury Or
in the hands of responsible persons
whom it may select for the purpose
not exceeding 10 shares of the capital
stock of each of the companies for
the purpose of maintaining a com
plete organization thereof and of
qualifying directors.
Under this petition, the Central
Maine Power Co. has asked for the
authority to make what is really one
system in fact, q single system in
point of law and to do away with the
present necessary and burdensome
expense of keeping and maintaining
separate officers and books of ac
count for each of the subsidiary COM
panies," say the utilities commission
ers in their decision.
Under the authority of the Re-
vised Statues, as amended by the
public laws of 1919, it is clear that
authority for the purchase of the
plants, rights, privileges and other
properties OF other public utilities
may we'll be granted by this commits
sion, if, in its opinion, such course
Isl a proper one" continues the de-
cision.
Since the hearing held Dec. IA,
1920, after full notice which was
proven as ordered, the commission
has carefully considered the testi-
mony introduced by the petitioner in
the statement Of it's treasurer Walter
s. Wyman. From his testimony, it is
clear that the continuation of the
nT6SGHt Stciil NiiiNih ehS PStA
toner and it's subsidiary companies
are operating involves a needless and
burdensome expense to all parties
concerned.
"The purchase will result, not only
in a lessening of expenses, but the
necessity Of keeping separate books
of account and maintaining separate
officers will also be obviated, and the
necessity for the petitioner and its
various subsidiary companies of
maintaining separate power accounts
which vary largely, dependent upon
the amount of natural power avail
able at different seasons of the year,
will also disappear.
I'm another way it would seem that
great advantage must ultimately ac-
rue to all citizens. residing in those
districts which are served by the
petitioner and it's subsidiary COM
panies, by the gradual and proper
equalization of the rates for service
rendered by tho utilities which would
naturally result from the combina-
ton of all of these companies into one
system"
