The American flag, taut under pres

New Ruling in Field of Rail
Regulation.
BARS OPENING OF COAL PIT
Forbids Building Mile of Railroad in
West Virginia on Ground That
Additional Fuel Operations
Are Unnecessary.

Washington, June 26.-On the sole
mines in the country, the interstate
commerce commission denied the APP
plication of the Virginian railway for
permission to build one-mile branch
in West Virginia to carry coal from
mines being opened by the Pocahontas
cision is the first of its kind and is
expected to act as a precedent if sim
liar applications are made by rail-
roads.
There are at present more mines
in the country than is consistent with
the efficient use of carriers equip
ment and their aggregate car supply"
declared the commission.
Rolling Stock a Factor.
Few er mines, according to the rul-
ing, would produce more coal than is
now mined. The reason given for this
assertion is that, with fewer mines,
there could be a better concentra-
ton Of railroad facilities and rolling
stock.
In the last year, according. to the
commission, the Virginia railway
for periods amounting to twenty-eight
weeks was unable to supply more than
the number of cars which were or
dered by mines already existing.
Sometimes the commission has over
ruled an application for an extension
on the ground that the new line would
not yield sufficient return on the in
vestment. On other occasions the COM
mission has denied applications be-
cause it seemed doubtful that the ap-
plying road could finance the construc-
ton.
Neither of these objections was
raised in the case Of the Virginian
railway.

banking houses in Germany are max

PRESIDENT OFFERS NEW
PLANS FOR WORLD COURT
Harding Wants Judges of Tribunal to
Fill the Vacancies-Ignores
League.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 22.-President
here proposed to meet all objections
to his plan for membership in the in
ternational court set up by the League
of Nations by changing the plan. AS a
condition of American adherence, ne
suggested that the court be made self
perpetuating.
by empowering the existing court,
as set up by the league to fill it's own
vacancies, he said, it could be made
independent of the league in the flu
ture.
This startling suggestion and sew
eral other entirely new reservations
were advanced by Mr.. Harding before
a big audience which received him
cordially, although without any marked
enthusiasm for his argument.
Other suggestions by the President,
apparently intended to soften the OPP
position to his court plan, may be sum-
married. as follows:
Continuation of the existing author
ity of the permanent Hague court Of
arbitration to nominate the judges.
Transfer Of the power to elect from
the council and assembly to the League
of Nations to the remaining members
of the permanent court of internation-
al justice, which is the official title
of the league court.
Compensation Of the judges to be
fixed, expenditures to be supervised,
national contributions to be appor-
toned, and similar duties to be per-
formed not by the league, but either
by the Hague court of arbitration or
a special commission to be designated
by the member nations.
Adjustment or extension to any
member or group Of member nations
the exclusive privilege now held by
the league of seeking advisory legal
guidance from the international court.
Disparity in voting between the
United States and other nations on
one side and the British empire on
the other to be met by self-perpetu-
ating arrangement.
