By Associated Press. :
Salina, Kans., Sept. 2. Establish
ment of a great central agency to as
sist in the marketing of all farm pro-
ucts was recommended in the report
of the board of directors of the Far
mers union at the opening session of
the national convention of that or
ganization here today. The principal

T TO DISSOLVE
HARD COAL TRUST
Attorney-General McReynolds
Attacks the Reading Com
bine at Philadelphia.
N By Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Sept. 2. Attorney
General McReynolds' first and most
important attack on the "hard coal
trust" was begun here today with the
filing of a civil suit for the dissolution
of the Reading company's control of
coal mining and coal-carrying rail
roads the most potential combination
in the anthracite fields. The Reading
company with Its subsidiary and allied
corporations. Including the Central
railroad of New Jersey and certain of
their officers and directors, are charg
ed by the federal government with
violating both the Sherman anti-trust
law and the commodlllons clause of
ihe interstate commerce act, in an
attepmt to monopolize the production
and transportation of anthracite.
This combination, controlling at the
present time 63 per cent of the entire
unminded deposits of anthracite and
marketing about 80 per cent ot the
annual supply, will own or control In
time, if not dissolved, the attorney
general warns, "every ton of commer
cially available anthracite known to
exist."
The Importance of the suit is em
phasized with tlu decoration t at in
this case "only the law can afford re
lief." It Is pointed out that In almost
svery other Industry It Is at leas tpos-
lble for a monopoly to be broken by
the influx of fresh' capital attracted
by high profits, out against a mono
ioIy of hard coal, the supply of which
's limited, there can be no such
protection.
Today's suit Is the second step of
the Department of Justice to solve the
"hard coal trust" situation since the
decision of the Supreme court last
December cancelling the so-called
sixty-five per cent contracts and or
Bering the dissolution of the Temple
Iron Company. The court held the
government had failed to prove a gen
wal combination among all the coal
"arrylng railroads and left open to
future litigation the so-called minor
combinations of which the Reading Is
'he most Important. .

Aviator Pegoud Repeats Per
formance of Yesterday,
Flying Head Down for
. 50 Seconds.
AND HE DECLARED
THAT IT WAS EASY
Spectators Silently Witness
Thrillng Feat, Which Has
in It Important Les- "
son.
By .Associated Press.
Versailles, France, Sept. 2. The
thrilling maneuver of turning a somer
sault in the air with an aeroplane fly
ing at rapid speed was repeated today
by the French aviator Pegoud over the
aerodome at Buo, near here, with per
fect success.
r-egoua naa stated that his per
formance at Juvisy yesterday waa not
the result of an accident was a proof
of proper control and also of the .sta
bility of the aeroplane. He carried
out the daring feat with apparent ease
again today In the presence of qfflcers
of the French army flying corps, about
100 military and civil aviators and a
large assemblage of the general public.
A dense fog had settled over the
district around Buo this morning and
this delayed Pegoud's ascent for three
hours and a half. Then the sun burst
through and cleared away the mist
Pegoud ran ' his aeroplane Into the
center of the field and indicated to a
battery of moving picture operators
and newspaper photographers the part
or the sky from which he. would be
gin to fly with his head downward.
He then took his seat at' the motor
and rose i na spiral to n height of 3000
reet, -mere -tiermrned his asroplarie
Into a vertical position with its tall up
ward and drove toward the earth like
an arrow. When he hod descended to
the altitude of 100 feet he began with
his machine- to describe a vast letter
"S". - The wheels of . the aeroplane
were clearly visible in the middle of
the "S" sticking upward, while Pear
oud could be seen hanging with his
head down. The aviator sailed along
in thl3 position for about 50 seconds.
Then his craft with" a great sweeping
curve came again into a horizontal
position, this time with the avitor
head upward.
The silence which hitherto had been
disturbed only by the whirr of the
motor, was broken by a tremendous
cheer from the crowd. Meanwhile
Pegoud spiralled to earth. - He had
been in the air only 20 minutes alto
gether. When Pegoud clambered from
his seat a number of women presented
him with flowers while the aviators
and militiamen crowded around to
shake his hands. A number of his
followers bore him shoulder high to
the aeroplane shed, - where Pegoud,
using a board as a platform, told the
crowd of his experiences. He declared
that the motor was running at only
quarter speed while the aeroplane was
upside down. He continued:
"The machine waa completely under
my control. I could have flown far
ther in the reversed position but no
object was to be attained by doing so.
Besides, hanging down for a long
time brings the blood to the head and
would cause Inconvenience.
"It Is easily conceivable that some
persons might immediately suffer
from congestion and' thus lose control
ot the apparatus, I, however, felt no
danger. ,
The greatest lesson learned from
Pegoud's feat, according to experienc
ed aviators who witnessed it, is that
no matter what position an aeroplane
Is thrown Into while In the air by
squalls or accidents to the machinery
an aviator. If he keeps his presence
of mind should be able to right the
machine and vc.ylane downward in
safety. '

"' . -. yer. ; .
By Associated Press.
Klutrbrooke, Sept. 2. Harry K,
Thaw came face to face with a new
force in the province of Quebec today
Sir Ijotner tiouiii, attorney general
and premier, intervened In the ease
through Aime GeofTrion, his special
representative, and demanded that
steps be taken at once to bring about
Thaw's release from the Sherbrooke
jail, where for two weeks the A inert
an had defied deportation. -
Premier Gouln through his repre
sentative, branded Thaw's detention
as "a scandal to the Dominion," urged
sarcastically that the Sherbrooke jail
was no "public boarding house" and
described Thaw as one who had boast
ed that he laughed at outwitting the
authorities.
M. Geoffrion and Samuel Jacobs,
representing the state of New York
both appeared before Superior Judge
Hutchinson and pressed for an Imme
diate hearing on the writ of habeas
corpus obtained last week. The court
conceded their point and arguments
were concluded at 1 o'clock. To the
great disappointment of those repre
senting New York the court reserved
decision.
It is a matter of such grave im
port," he said, "that I would not care
to decide this matter until I have giv
en It careful consideration. Ppselbly
tomorrow I shall announce ray deci
sion. I shall notify all counsel."" ,
Sherbrooke, Sept. 2.-r-Over. the vio
lence objection ' of Thaw's ' counsel
Judge Hutchinson of the Superior
court today ordered that the habeas
corpus proceedings brought by New
York state should go on. Alme Geof
frion, who arrived this morning to
represent the prime minister and at
torney-general, then announced that
the attorney-general had Intervened
and that "this matter must be decided
at once." . i
'If he is not llberatel on the writ,"
Mr. Geoffroin, said, "other means will
be taken. Thaw must not be harbored
in a Canadian jail."
Thaw's face fell, and his lawyers,
declaring that the writ was irregular,
spoke in turn, pleading for adjourn
ment until Friday.
'We must go on," said the court
'I represent the attorney-general,"
said Mr, Geoffrion, "and it is of para
mount importance that justice In this
case move swiftly. Our jails are not
public boarding-houses.
"It is the attorney-general's desire
that this matter be settled Instanter by
the liberation of Mr. Thaw. The pris
ons of the province cannot b' used to
shield a man from the federal law."
"Scandul to Dominion."
Samuel Jacobs, appearing directly
for Boudreau, Indirectly for Jerome,
supplemented Geoffrlon's remarks.
He denounced the case as a scandal
to the Dominion and said it was in
cumbent upon the court to "restore
the county of St. Francis to Its nor
mal state."
The appearance ot a representa
tive for the attorney general is a
thunderbolt to us," said Mr. Mc-
Keown. "We did not know of his
presence until this morning. We
lhould like time to consult the law
as to his right to appear."
I sent for him,' said the court
curtly. "The issues here are plaint
First, la this man Illegally detained;
second, does Boudreau have a right
to petition for the write of habeas
corpus? . Both them questions art
points of law, purely, and I see no
reason for granting an adjournment."
Mr. McKeown tried to open the
preliminary arguments again, but the
court directed that he desist and ar
guments to sustain the write were be
gun by Mr. Jacobs. Thaw sat on a
lounge, nervously fingering hla hat
and taking notes.
Crowd of 15,000 Cheers Thaw.
There was such a crush outside that
men's coats were torn, hats were
smashed and collars twisted. - Fully
IS, 000 people were gathered at the
scene. In the court house yard a loud
mouthed orator waa haranguing the
crowd and at Intervals there were
roars of "three cheers for Thaw." At
times the din grew so loud that it was
difficult to hear counsel speak.
The Now York forces, apparently
tire that the commitment on which
Thaw Is held would be quashed, char
tered a high-powered automobile In

UHG1NG
CHANGESIN BILL
Forgan and Reynolds Present
Views of Chicago Confer
ence to Committee.
By Associated Press.
Washington, Sept. 2. Bankers ob
jections'" to the administration cur
rency bill were heard today before the
senate banking committee as a result
of the Chicago conference of bankers
a week ago. The hearings will con
tinue for the' remainder of the week.
While the bill is ready for formal
consideration In the house it Is far
from being agreed upon by democratic
leaders in the senate. Following the
hearings this week, an effort will be
made by the senate committee to
agree on certain amendments.
Chairman Owen and his immediate
supporters on the committee declare,
however, that the more , Important
changes demanded by the bankers
will not be made. A letter made pub
lie by Senator Owen last night de
nouncing a so-called propaganda car
rhed nn by certain banking interests
against the bill served to intensify the
feeling that marked the opening of
hearings today.
J. B. Forgan, of the First National
Bank of Chicago, and George M. R,ey
nolds of the continental and Commer
cial National Bank of Chicago were
two of the first to discuss the bill to
day from the bankers' standpoint.

THE THIRD DEGREE
Bar Association Committee Re
jects Resolution Condemn
ing It Taft to Speak. - -
By Associated Press.
Montreal, Ont., Sept. 2. This was
the busiest day of the annual meet
ing of the American Bar Association.
Reports were received from no less
than 23 committees and most of the
day was devoted to discussing them.
The evening was set aside to hearing
an address by former President Taft
on "The Selection and Tenure . of
Judges.'"
This afternoon the comparative law
bureau met and heard an address by
Its director. Governor Simeon E. Bald
win of Connecticut, and the section of
legal education began Its annual ses
sion. The latter organization heard
the annual address of its chairman,
Waiter George Smith of Philadelphia,
and papers read by Wllford Bovey of
Montreal bar on "The Control Exer
cised by the Inns of Court over Ad
mission to the Bur in England,"' and
by Clarence A. Llghtnor of the Michi
gan bar on "A More Complete In
quiry into the Moral Character ot Ap
plicants for Admission to the Bar."
At the session of the bar associa
tion the committee on commercial law
recommended an endorsement of the
Pomerene bill on Jinlform bills ot lad-
ins in liiieiBiaie mm lurviHii i-uiii-
merce and opposing any attempt to
repeal the national bankruptcy act
For Life Tenure.
The committee on jurisprudence
and law reform disapproved a resolu
tion calling upon 'the association to
condemn the use of the so-called
"third degree" In criminal prosecu
tions. The committee also reported
its opposition a proposition to abolish
the life tenure of federal judges and
declared its belief that the present
method of selecting such judges by
federal appointment was the best
one.
A report favoring the establishment
of reference and bill drafting depart
ments in connection with state- and
national legislators was received from
the special committee appointed to
Investigate this- subject.
The committee on uniform state
laws submitted a so-called "marriage
evasion act" which In substance seeks
to prevent persons from evading the
marriage laws of their own states by
getting married In other states.
A special report by a committee ap
pointed at the last meeting declared
that public opinion was growing In
favor of uniform laws for compen
sation for industrial accidents and
their prevention. Such a law, said
the reports, should bake compensa
tion proportioned to the wages of the
person Injured.
The committee on patent, trade
mark and copyright law expressed its
disapproval of a suggestion that the
commerce court constitute a United
States court of patent appeal. It
strongly urged the creation of a sin
gle court of last resort In patent cases
so as to obtain unity and harmony In
the law.
Thomas W. Shelton, chairman of
ths - committee on uniform judicial
procedure, said In his report that
"foi'tn';r President Taft's dream of
'Interstate judicial relations' on a ba
sts of scientific and permanent 'Inter
state com men' relations' seemed In
a fair way of consummation." Neces
