PENNSYLVANIA COAL
TAX IN HIGH COURT
Massachusetts Attorney General De-
cIares II An Example Of Soak
ina Foreign Consumer"

Washington, Nov. / 6--Asserting
that the ad va orem tax imposed by
Pennsylvania upon anthracite coal
would have serious consequences to
the people of nine states. Attorney
General Allen of Massachusetts, as
counsel for the New England states,
New York, New Jersey and Della
ware, continued in the supreme court
yesterday the argument in the case
OF Roland c. Heisler against the
Thomas Colliery company and Pen
nsylyania state officers. He insisted
that the tax was a burden upon inter.
state commerce and was unconstitu,
tional.
The tax calculated on the present
price OF anthracite would add 49,
000, 900 to its cost to consumers out.
side of Pennsylvania, Allen estimat-
ed. Pennsylvania. in imposing the
tax, had chosen anthracite so that
the burden would fall upon people
outside the state. he declared, add
ing that ii was striking illustra
tion of soaking the foreign con-
surner."
When Chief Justice Taft inquired
whether Massachusetts could legally
impose an ad valorem tax on woolen
goods manufactured within its bor'
ders, Allen replied that il the court
sustained the Pennsylvania tax on
coal. Massachusetts could impose a
similar tax on any Of its manufac-
lures. the wheat and corn growing
states of the West coud tax theS
agricultural products and southern
states could tax cotton.
Acknowledgement Alter OF Pennsyl-
yan'a defended the tax. declaring
that there had been a proper dis
elimination between anthracite and
hituminous coal by the Legislature.
which had decided to tax the former
and not the latter When he qpoed
prcies prevailing at the mines two
years ago when bituminous coal
brought from 81 to 81 ton and an
thracite from 81 to IS, Chief Justice
Taft smilingly asked whether such
prices now prevail

tax upon both anthracite and btu.

William Pinkhard Dead of Pneu-
monia at Putnam Hospital
MYSTERY ATTENDS DEATH
Known to Have Left Troy Tues
day on Way to Work at
Nottingham Dam

colored man. believed to be VIII
liam Pinkhard. who has been making
his home on River street. Troy, for
some time, died at Putnam Memorial
hospital Wednesday night of pner.
monia under circumstances that ap-
pear to merit investigation by the au
thorities without much prospect Of
developments.
Pinkhard was found lying beside
the highway In the town of Pownal
Tuesday night The man was uncon.
scious and was taken to the home of
a colored resident OF Pownal. Upon
being notified OF the mans condition
the Pownal authorities communicat-
ed with States Attorney George A.
Mathers and Pinkhard was moved to
the hospital in this village.
The police in Troy were also mott.
fed by telephone and an officer who
was assigned to the case learned
that Pinkhard was one Of party of
negroes who left Troy Tuesday bound
for Nottingham where they expected
to obtain employment on the big pow.
er project under process OF construc.
tion there.
AS yet it has been impossible to
learn anything about what happened
to Pinkhard. He was first discover.
ed at about 9 o'clock in the evening
near the farm owned by the late A.
B. Gardner. A Pownal physician.
who was called could find no evi
dence of injuries and the same result
followed an examination by the medi.
cal man who attended Pinkhard at
the hospital here. -e
Pinkhard's home is at Frankfort.
La. Since he located in New York
state he had worked on a farm in
Grafton and also for the Adirondack
Electric Power corporation. The
Troy police are endeavoring to run
down a rumor that the car which
carried the party Of negroes was driv
en- by man named Miller who
lived in Kingston.

NE W FEDERAL AID
ROAD MAY FOLLOW
OLD STARK ROUTE
Present Highway in Hoosick
May Be Abandoned
WILL ELIMINATE BRIDGE
Also Avoid Crossing Of Berk-
shire Tolley and Rutland
Railroad Tracks

1t has been learned that engineers
are at work on a proposition that
would materially change the course
of the proposed federal highway from
North lIooslck through Walloomsac
to the Vermont state line, the
changes being contemplated In an ef-
fort to eliminate the construction Of
u $4,000 steel bridge.
1t has also been learned that pro-
visions would have 10 be made 10
eliminate the railroad and street rail-
way crossings, because OF a rule In
the federal agreement against grade
crossings on highways constructed
with the aid OF federal finances.
II has been suggested that tho
course OF the highway IN use in the
early history Of the town. the high.
way over which General Stark march
ed with his troops from Bennington
in the encircling movement which
riveted the defeat OF Colonel Baum's
forces on the heights overlooking
Walloomsac.
The highway was discontinued
many years ago and now only faint
traces of its existence can be seen.
IL provides, however. much more
feasible route for a federal highway
and the cost OF constructing a mod
ern highway over 1t would not DO
any greater, It is believed, than
would the rebuilding Of the highway
that is now in use. Again, the old
highway does not cross the Wallom
sac river. and this Swou.d eliminate
the necessity for constructing a new
bridge. Also it dof not cross the
street railway or the tracks OF the
Rutland railroad two other features
which will weigh heavily in the final
decision.

the entire available coal supply of the city would reach the vanishing point"
 Here are statements of some of the local dealers regarding the public's attitude toward the coal situation:
 S A. Jones of the Jones & Suydam Coal company, Avondale:
 We have had the same experience this year as we have had since our plunge In the coal business, and that is that the people seem to walt until the last minute to buy their coal. My advice is to stock up while the stock ing Is good.
 T had occasion to talk to the head of a certain mine and he said that their forces are working only on an average of 36 hours per week. You can readily see the outcome. We are tied hands and feet and are sitting still. The situation is acute.'
 Colin Campbell of the Ivy Leaf company.
 "A great number of people that are able have stocked up for the winter, however. the majority have not be- cause of lack of money and for va rious other reasons. We are receiv- ing about 30 per cent of our original orders for coal. but are unable to do anything. With 10 days of cold weather in Birmingham the yards will be cleaned"
 Hugh McGeever of the Acme Coal company:
 Warm weather does not necessi- tate the use of coal except for cook ing purposes, and as a result we are now selling little coal. No one Is buying now, and those who seem to have regarded the future have all ready stocked up."

 pr. Edmonds in the course of his sermon on The Great Rebellion. re- clared sin is real and nothing more or less than rebellion against God, as clearly shown in Paul's epistles.
 "Pauls doctrine eof sin declared that sin was not due to limitations. as some philosophers would have us be- lieve," said Dr. Edmonds. Sin is not matter of heredity or environment, not matter of glands. but Is simply rebellion against God. Paul in speak, ing of sin speaks of 1t in terms of AHtidAi'h 0t dtdu ppuAtsf anu dONii below the sinful frame or flesh, out of which come sinful acts.
 Paul measures sin by the death of Christ, and according to this doc- Urine there must be a turning back. true conversion, in spirit and in fact; in other words, real repen- tance on the part of the sinner.
 "Just as the battle of New Dr. IpanS was fDlphf two months after peace had been declared because those involved were not aware of the real status of their nations and their own status at the time they fought, so many will remain in rebellion against God. simply because they do not realize their true relationship to God"
 During the morning service in the first unit of the new Independent Presbyterian church building, on Highland avenue, Dr. Edmonds, in the course of his sermon, made ref erence to the death during the past week of four men. two of whom he knew personally and the other two he knew from their books and works. Big Joe" Bradley of Huntsville, cot- ton mill owner singer and optlmist, and Frank B.
