q COMP ANIES
SUE TO ENJOIN
COAL NAME USE
Charge City Dealers, Firms
Sell Inferior Product
as PoCahontas.

Seventeen coal dealers and firms
were named defendants in suit
filed today in federal court to en-
join use of the trade-name Poca-
hontas.
Twenty three companies produc-
ing Pocahontas coal joined as plain
tiffs in the suit for a permanent
injunction to prevent the use of
such trade names as 'Wonder-Poca-
hontas, Observation-Disclosures and
Semi Pocahontas" coal. Frederick
Van Nuys, former United States dis
trict attorney, represented the plain
tiffs. The defendants have tWen-
ty days in which to file an answer
before Federal Judge Robert G. Bait
zell.
100000 i'll Damage
1t is understood that testimony
will be introduced to recover DAM
ages ranging from 100000 to $780,,
900 for use of the name PocahontaS.
The suit charged that the dealers
had sold an inferior grade Of coal,
representing it to be Pocahontas.
The suit defines PocahontaS coal
as semi bituminous low volatile,
SmokeleSs coaP' produced exclusively
in certain territory including Nc
Dowell, Mercer and Wyoming coun-
ties West Virginia and Tazewell
county, Virginia.

there are q. few dealers here who

E. Koepler, speaking for the produc-
ers who are seeking to prevent al
legedly fraudulent use of the trade
name. "They are not miracle work

independence yet launched by the
F'ilipinos is being timed to coincide
with the London naval conference
and the preparations therefor.
Manuel Quezon, president of the
Philippines senate: Speaker RoXaS
Of the lower house, and a repre-
sentative group of Filipino leaders,
are due to sail for Washington,
Dec. Z. Therefore they will be ready
for action when congress resumes
its sessions after the Christmas holi-
days.
primarily, the new fight for in
dependence comes as a sequel to the
recent senate vote on the tariff bill
amendment of Senator King Of
Utah, having to do with freedom for
the Philippines.
It was defeated by only a marrow
margin, and some who voted agai1st
IL explained that they did so only
because they objected to an issue
Of such Importance being decided
in that way.
Another Chance Given
But the naval limitation confer
ence will give the Filipinos still an
other lever to work with. 1t is
matter of common knowledge that
the islands are even now at the
mercy of at least one far eastern
power, and naturally any further
weakening of the United States navy
would tend to make their capture all
the more easy. ,-.. ...-
Insecurity of the Philippines al
ready was, a matter of moment in
this country when the first five
power naval conference met in
Washington in 1921 But whatever
plans the United States may have
had at that time for STRENGTHENING
them went glimmering with the
signing of the Washington treaty,
since It is pledged us not to carry
the work of fortifying the Philip
pines, Guam and Samoa any fur
ther.
This left a pretty one-sided sit
uation in the western Pacific. Japan,
OF course, is situated in that re-
/ gion and quite naturally is we'll pro-
yided with all the naval bases she
eeds. If not. she can build more.
And though Great Britain is
lind by the same treaty not to
ify Hongkong any further, Sin
pre-, in easy striking distance of
Philippines, is exempt and is
being made into second
r7ltar.
u. s. Has Feeble Defense
So, at Cavite, on Manila bay, the
United States has its only naval
base, even half way worthy of the
name. west of Pearl harbor, in the
Hawaiian islands. 1890 miles east
ward across the Pacific.
Defended by twelve-inch guns. the
battleships of both Britain and ia
pan can outshoot it any day in the
year, and its lone drydock, the an
cient Dewey, can not accommodate
any vessel larger than $4,000 tons.
Our battleships range from 10000
to $4,000 tons

TN 1875, an earnest young man
= began to practice medicine. AS
a family doctor, he treated many
cases Of constipation. He soon
saw the harm in common purges
and began to seek something
better. Out Of his experience
was born a famous prescription
now in wide use.
This prescription was written
thousands of times. 1t proved an
ideal laxative for old and young.
Children like its pleasant taste.
Older people like it because it
doesn't grippe or cause discomfort.
It is a mixture of fresh herbs
and other pure ingredients; r
thoroughly effective for the
most robust of men. Stimu-
lates the normal muscular
action of the bowels. So it's
use will not become a habit.

above referred to, is far better de-
tended and equipped. She boasts
docks capable of taking care of ships
Of any size. And at YokoSuka, 1850
miles northward, the Japanese have
one of the worlds finest naval bases.
1t is the headquarters of their great
first fleet
1t is an open secret that Japan
could take the Philippines any time
she wants to. 1t is even said that
the United States would abandon all
attempt to defend the islands from
the sea, the conditions being too I'M
favorable.
Such being the broad facts in the
case, it is clear that the future sta
tus of the Philippines must be a
factor in any naval limitation agree
ment into which the United States
may enter.
True, a four-power pact was
signed by America, Britain, Japan
ana France at the Washington con-
ference guaranteeing the status quo
in the Pacific, but up to now it has
not prevented large fleets being
maintained in that ocean.
For many Filipinos, and no small
number of Americans, the answer
is Philippine independence. Pro-
ponents are suggesting that the
United States free the Filipino and
at the same time induce the other
great powers to sign treaty for
mally guaranteeing not to infringe
upon this freedom.
Heretofore one Of the arguments
most frequently advanced by OPP
ponents of Philippine independence
has been the islands need of Ameri-
can protection. The admission of
naval men that America is not now
in a position to guarantee such pro-
lection doubtless will constitute part
OF the case presented by the new
independence mission on the eve OF
departure for this country.

up to him.

answered gravely. "I see that it's
a signed story by Harry Blaine.
That means that Crystals interests
will be protected as far as possible. !"
He cleared his throat slightly and

Big Profit Made BY
Reporter Who Buys
Bridge For 10 Cents

HOUSTON. Tex, March 8.-PE
Roderick j. Watts, reporter, talked
himself into an investment which
Melted him $4,000 per cent profit.
Watts told Mayor Oscar Holcombe
recently that an abandoned bridge
on Buffalo Bayou ought to be re-
moved. In an unwary moment he
offered to buy it for a dime. The
mayor and commissioners accepted,
SO Watts became the owner Of a
9O-ton steel bridge-provided he
could remove it in 90 days.
A few days passed and Watts
found he could not find a junk
dealer who would buy the bridge as
it stood; neither could he raise
enough money to junk it. So he
sold out to Joseph A. Carson of a
steel company for SIS. And now
Carson must worry about removing
the structure.
