AT MERCY OF RAJ LWWS Price and Output of ' Bituminous Coal. Arbitrarily Fixed. ' CxUtence of " Statist itl Darcani In lrnntylTnnl IThlch Were Kenllj Tool Glearlns Houset. lroacht Oat. Philadelphia: That for teii years the Pennsylvania,. Kailroad, with the aid of several other lines which combined with it, made railroad rates and arbi trarily '. fixed the price of bituminous coal, was the most important fact dis closed at the session of the Interstate Commerce Commission. 4 - . Attorney ; William A. Glasgow, Jr., also brought but the fact that this condition prevails at the present time. While the methods! used to reach the desired end are slightly different, and while the moves of. the railroad men are ' made more cautiously, the effect is the same' t6 the consumer that it was ten years ago. '. Having for years concealed the ex istence of the four "statistical bu reausI which were really clearing houses- for railroad pools conducted in restraint of trade and, it; is alleged, in direct violation of the Sherman anti trustTla w,f. the railroads had no thought that the commission had learned of the existence of the bureaus. Most of the testimony of importance was obtained from J. C. Searles, gen eral coal sales agent ot the Pennsyl vania Railroad,' as a witness. . . While examining the witness. Mr. Glasgow held the minutes of the two pools in which Mr. Searles looked after the Interests of the Pennsylvania Bail road, and as the attorney asked ques tlon after question which meant dan ger to the railroads. Mr. Searles could only reply: 4If it is in the minutes it must be so." I Agent Searles testimony, his mem ory refreshed from the miuutes of: the' statistical bureaus, showed that the railroads belonging to these bodies not only flxed rates in a-manner to deter mine the pnee of coal, thus stifling competition and creating a . monopoly for themselves, but that when the agreed petcentage of tonnage was not gained by each road clearances were made through these bureaus. Roads which carried more thon their allotted share had to pay j5ajs,h,.cpnsIder,A.tiou to the other roads. "V'! " Close connection was shown to exist between the Pennfylvanla and the New York Central in certain parts of Penn sylvania, .where agreements were inude whereby certain territory was allotted to one . or other of these roads, the roads being pledged not to carry coal from mines in the territory of the other.

' , WHY LI NCOLN WAS POPULAR. Quallttttc Which Made Him Blovtt All His Life Appeared In His Youth. - J Perhaps his most winning quality with young and old-alike was hi9 sin es re belief in his fellow townBmea and . their community. Local pride never had a more buojnant chanlpiott than he.' For him Sangamon cou&ty in.goneraL and New Salem in, particu lar, was the promised"4 land and . h was confident that the "peidple were equal to. the ask of derelopin-- it ac cording to its needs.. Tus when it was first suggested; that 'the shallow. snag-bound Sangamon River was nav igable and ' might ; be made , a great highway of wmmercs, ii eagerly championed the theory and worked with voice, pen and hand to realize a practical, result The Sangamon . is still unnavlgable and New balem has disappeared, but Lincoln's plea for improving, the waterway ' remains as evidence of his sincere belle; la the future of the community and to show us what he-could do with a weak cause at the age of twenty-ode. '- ' The argument is not remark bio, hut it is exceedingly interesting and suggestive. Although he was ' young and boyishly enthusiastic, Lincoln did hot overstate the possibilities nor un-, derestimate t&e difUculties of ids case; and despite the really laugh able attempt which was. afterward made to tore the passage of the San gamon, there was nothing ludicrous ia his plea. What he claimed sounds reasonable, ' and -what he boped for possible, even in the face of failure. This early effort plainly indicates Lincoln's natural aptitude for logical statement. ' But it does more than that. It displays a trait which few lawyers possess; for the ability to present facts closely, concisely and effectively without taking undue ad vantage of them is a rare legal qual ity. " It requires not only; ability, .but courage;; not only tact, cut character.
