Test Case Is Filed In Attempt to Sep­ arate Great Carriers From Control of Mines--Pro fit-Fixing la Al­ leged. Washington.--The government has started a new campaign to "bust the coal trust." A test case was filed In the federal court at Philadelphia, opening another fight to dissociate the anthracite-carrying railroads from their virtual control of mines and thus vitalize the commodities clause of the Interstate commerce law. That the Lehigh Valley Coal com­ pany, Coxe Bros., Inc., the New York & Middlefield Railroad and Coal com­ pany and the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron company are not bona fide coal companies, but merely adjuncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad, and are "devices for evading the commodity clause" is the government's principal complaint It Is also alleged that the Lehigh Valley railroad, with the object of re­ moving competition, hak caused the Lehigh Valley Coal company to cob- tract at a loss for the output of other anthracite operators, has transported the coal over its own lines and through the coal companies fixed the price in New York ani other markets. The government charges that al­ though the buying of co&l from other operators has been done at a loss to the Lehigh Valley <3oal company it has enabled the Lehigh Valley rail­ road to transport the coar^ over its lines and profit from the freight charges. To support Its claim that the coal company is merely the "dummy" through which the railroad engaged in mining, transporting and selling coal in violation of the commodities clause, the government cities that the officers of the railroad and the coal company are the same and that certain mem­ bers of the directorate and the execu­ tive committee of the railroad are members of the directorate and execu­ tive committee of the coal company. Among these named are Eben B. Thomas, George F. Baker, E. T. Stotes- bury and James A. Middleton. Each of them. It Is charged, has been named to his position in the coal company because of his position with the railroad. It Is set forth that the peal company uses the railroad company's offices and does its business over the rail­ road company's desks. As a further allegation that the Le­ high Coal company is an adjunct of the Lehigh Valley railroad, the gov­ ernment's complaint says that since the capital stock of the coal company has been owned by the railroad it has paid no dividends, that millions of dol­ lars have been advanced by the rail­ road to the coal company which have never been refunded, and that the rail­ road has paid the Interest upon the coal company's bonds, being compen­ sated, the government claims, by the earnings from transportation of coal over its lines.

North Dakota Senator Accuses Presi­ dent of Breach of Power In Fram­ ing Reciprocity Bill. Washington. -- Charging President Taft with attempting to override the Constitution by assuming the posi­ tions of executive and legislator, Sen­ ator Gronna of North Dakota made a sensational attack on the reciprocity bill on the floor of the senate. During his speech he clashed fre- \|iicu l! y With auTCCatvS Of t-il G luCua ure and was forced to give up, al­ most exhausted. "In having the bill framed and try­ ing to force It through congress," de­ clared Senator Gronna, "the presi­ dent exceeded his constitutional pow­ ers; a decidedly serious violation," he added, "because it was In accordance with a pledge given to a foreign na­ tion. "The president has apparently come to the conclusion that he represents the people of this country both as executive and legislator and that the two bouses of congress are merely two bodies of men provided for by the Constitution, wlhch he car^, unfor­ tunately, not get rid of, but which are to be Ignored and coerced when­ ever be deems it necessary or expedi­ ent." He denounced the trade agreement with Canada as a cloak to hide the adoption of a new economic and in­ dustrial policy out of harmony with Republicanism, a policy which, he said, the rank and file of the party would repudiate, and he condemned the policy of placing food products and raw materials on the free list and retaining a protective duty on manu­ factures.

Would Compel All Concerns Doing Business of $5,000,000 or Mora Annually to Register, Washington.--Senator Newlands of Nevada in a speech in tbe senate ad* vocated an interstate trade commis­ sion of five members to control indus­ trial corporations, as the interstate commerce body regulates the rail­ roads. He contended that the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions and the re­ cent government report on the steel industry demonstrate the need of "ail independent, quasi-judicial and admin­ istrative tribunal of great character and dignity, as far removed from par­ tisan control as are the courts." The plan is to apply only to industrial cor­ porations engaged in interstate trade whose annual receipts exceed $5,000,- 000. Mr. Newlands' speech was In ad­ vocacy of a blH he introduced provid­ ing for such a commission. His meas­ ure would separate the bureau of corporations from the department of commerce and labor and merge the bureau into a commission of Inter­ state trade. This commission would require all industrial corporations having re­ ceipts exceeding $5,000,000 to make satisfactory statements as to capi­ talization, finances and operations, such corporations to be known as "United States registered" companies. It proposes to make lack of such registration an "indication of some­ thing wrong." The measure proposed Includes these provisions: The commission may cancel at any time the registrar tlon of any corporation for improper financial organization, oppressive or unfair methods of competition, accept­ ance of railroad rebates, refusal to al­ low access to records or non-compli­ ance with any Judicial decree ren­ dered under the Sherman act In ex­ treme cases it may debar the offend­ ing corporations from engaging In In­ terstate commercf and it may require correction of overcapitalization.

BALLOT WAS 32 AGAINST 14 Believed Result Demonstrates Rejeo- tlon of All Other Changes Conterh- plated Against Measure and Its Passage as it Came From House. Washington.--President Taft gained a victory when the senate, in the first test vote on the Canadian reciprocity Dill, defeated, 14 to 32, the amend­ ment proposed by Senator Cummins placing meats of all kinds coming from Canada on the free list. The 14 votes cast for the amendment will be undoubtedly cast against the passage of the bill, This action foreshadows the course of the senate with respect to other amendments. It has been apparent for some time that the president would have his way in getting through un­ amended the Canadian reciprocity compact. The rejection of the first Cummins amendment demonstrates that this ex­ pectation was well founded. On account of the absence of so many senators from Washington only a bare quorum voted. The vote waB as follows, the yea votes indicating opposition to the Taft program: Yeas--Republicans--Borah, Bourne, Bristow, Clapp,#Clark (Wyo.), Cum­ mins, Dixon, Gronna, Kenyon, Nelson, Sutherland--11. Democrats -- Bailey, Simmons, Thornton--3. Nays -- Republicans -- Brandegee, Burnham, Burton, Crane, Cullom, Cur­ tis, Heyburn, Jones, Lippitt, Page, Polndexter, Smoot, Wetmore--13. Dem­ ocrats--Bryan, Chamberlain, Chilton, Fletcher, Gore, Hitchcock, Johnson, Johnston, Martin, Martine, Myers, Owen, Pomerene, Reed, Shively, Smith, Stone, Swanson, Williams--19. An analysis of the vote shows the progressives voted as a unit for the Cummins proposal. They were sup­ ported by three Republicans usually numbered among the regulars--Clark of Wyoming, Sutherland of Utah and Nelson of Minnesota. Mr. Sutherland always has been an Independent and Mr. Nelson knows no ties with respect to tarlfT questions. He Is accounted a low tariff man. The Democrats who voted against the Cummins amendment did so on the ground that its adoption would open the door to countless other amendments and result in the defeat of the agreement. Most of the Republicans who voted against the amendment were actuated by a desire to comply with the presi­ dent's wishes. EJECT CAPTAIN FROM CAMP Horse Kicks Automobile.

CRASH PERILS liNY THRILLING SCENES FOLLOW COL­ LISION BETWEEN VESSELS ON LAKE SUPERIOR. CRASH COMES IN DENSE FOG Three Persons Are Drowned, Thirty 8aved--Steamer Mitchell 81nkb While the William H, Mack Is Badly Damaged. Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.--About thir­ ty lives were rescued ia a thrilling struggle on Lake Superior following a collision off Vermillion point as a result of which one steamer lies on the bottom of the lake, another is partly submerged and three lives were lost. The suilken steamer is the John Mitchell of the Elphlcke fleet of Chicago, and the boat with which the Mitchell collided is the William H. Mack of Cleveland. While the two vessels were steam­ ing through a dense fog off Vermillion point, which is about sixty miles northwest of the Soit passage, they crashed without a moment's warning. The Mitchell began to sink immedi­ ately, and soon the lake, which was rolling heavily, was strewn with wreckage. The Mack, however, suc­ ceeded in lowering its life boat and in rescuing sailors and passengers floun­ dering in the water, with thO excep­ tion of three of the crew of the Mitch­ ell, who were drowned.

HEAT CAUSES CROP LOSSES Reports Show an Enormous Falling Off of Indicated Yields Through­ out Country. Chicago.--Enormous crop losses have occurred during the last thirty days as the result of drought and record-breaking temperatures all over the country. The crops cannot stand temperatures of 100 and 115 as pre­ vailed for days in the southwest, and the corn and oats crops of Texas and Oklahoma are practically failures. South Dekota has also suffered by drought and heat, the small grain crop being cut down two-thirds. There have been losses in nearly every state and even the splendid promise for spring wheat in North Dakota has dropped 7,000,000 bushels in 30 days. The wheat crop will be short for the month 62,000^00. Oats are short 158,000,000 bushels for the same period. Prospects are that the corn crop will not be an average, while the oats yield will be far below the average for the country and the smallest since 1908. Judge Dies on Auto Tour. Auburn, N.

In spite of the fact that state sana­ toria and hospitals for tuberculosis have been established In 31 states, and 114 municipal or county hospitals in 26 states, vastly more public provision.

Nearly every state east of the Missis­ sippi river has provided a state sana­ torium, and west of tfye Mississippi river, state sanatoria Ibave been es­ tablished in Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon. There are 38 sanatoria provided by these states, Massachu­ setts having four. Connecticut and Pennsylvania three and Texas two. In­ cluding special pavilions and alms­ houses, there are 114 municipal or county hospitals for the care of tuber­ culous patients.

I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, al­ though I tried about every kind. "I had become completely discour­ aged, and given up all hope, and thought I was doomed to starve to death, until one day my husband, try­ ing to find something I could retain, brdugbt home some Grape-Nuts. "To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and with­ out distress. I began to gain strength at once. My flesh (whjch had been flabby), grew firmer, my health Im­ proved in every way an4 every day, and In a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds In weight. "I liked Orape-Nuts so well that for four months I ate no other food, and always felt as v .sll eatisfled after eat- ng as if I had sat down to a fine ban- • quet.
