:THE TRUSTS lTTlCKED
’Coal Barons Defending Themselves
. From the Antitrust Law.
A J URY FOR TOBACCO KINGS.
Only One of the Ten Takes the Trouble
to Come Into Court In New York
City—A Trust In Missouri '
Is Also ASsalled.
Albany, June 9. — The brilliant and
well paid attorneys for, the railroad
magnates who are presumed to be par—
ties to the Coal trust poured broadsides
of grape and solid shot against the bat-
tlements of the antitrust laWs. The
scene of the action was the special term
courtroom in the city hall, Judge. Alden,
Chester presiding. The matter came.
up in the form of four orders to show
cause why the order instituting the in-
vestigation should not be vacated.
The state was represented by Attor-
ney General Hancock, Lawyer J. New—
ton Fiero and Deputy Attorney Gen-
eral Davies. The railroad presidents
werereprese-nted as follows: President
'01yphant of the D. and H., by Lewis
E. Carr and David Wilcox; President
Fowler of the N. Yr, 0. and W., by
John B. Kerr; President Maxwell of
the Jersey Central, by Robert W. De
Foriest; President Sloan of the Dela-
ware and Lackawanna, by David Mc—
Clure.
What the Coal Trust’s Lawyers Alleged.
David Wilcox opened the argument
against the law.
His main point was that the papers
do not show that any illegal agreement
has been entered into by the railroad
companies since the passage of the
antitrust laws on May 7, 1897. -
Attorney Carr said in his argument:
“The order for the examination of the
persons named (the Coal trust barons)
should be vacated because the petition
on which it was granted was and is in-
sufficient to justify the order made.
The private affairs of citizens are shel-
tered from inquiry by the constitution,
and such procedure as may result in
the invasion of that right of privacy
should be condemned. The provisions
of the code are not complied with in
the application under consideration.”
The other attorneys for .the Coal trust
officials followed along similar lines of
argument.
Lawyer Fiero, in his answer and de-
fense of the law, said:
“It will be noticed that the provisions
of the law under which the proceedings
are brought are exceedingly broad. It
is only required that the attorney gen-
eral may, where he deems it proper to
procure testimony before beginning an
action, present to a. justice of the su-
preme court an application in writing
for an order directing witnesses to ap-
pear and be examined concerning the
matters set out in the statute. A mere
application in writing Without setting
out any facts whatever would entirely
satisfy the provisions of the statute,
and in that respect the petition of the
attorney general, objected to on the
part of the witnesses sought to be ex~
amined, is much more full and complete
than is requiredunder the practice pro-
vided for the act, and an examination
of this part of. the section is a full an—
swer to most, if not all, of the objec-
tions raised on the part of the wit-
nesses, since it is within the discretion
of the justice to require these witnesses
to appear and answer ppon such appli-
cation in writing.
The 'State’s Opportunity to Inquire.
“The objection that the attorney gen-
eral’s petition fails to set forth a state
of facts within the provisions of the
statutes and fails to set forth an inten-
tion to bring an action or proceeding
under the statutes is not tenable, since
the attorney general is not upon .any
reasonable construction of the act oblig-
ed to state that he proposes to or may
bring any action or proceeding.
“The whole scope of the statute is in-
tended to give the state an opportunity
to inquire into and investigate the mat—
ters relative to illegal contracts or com—
binations without in any wise commit-
ting ltself to any action with reference
thereto unless sufficient evidence can be
obtained upon which an action may be
based.
“The method of procedure adopted by
the attorney general is within the mean-
ing and equity of the statute and pre-
cisely that is being done which the
legislature intended should be done.
The motion to vacate the order appoint-
ing Referee Ward should be denied and
a date fixed when the witnesses shall be
required to appear and give testimony."
The Tobacco Trust Prosecution.
New York, June 9.-—In the hope of
hearing the secrets of the "Cigarette
trust disclosed in court, many persons
crowded into Judge Fitzgerald’s court
in general sessions. They hoped, too, to
see some Of the ten‘ millionaires who are
under indictment and who compose what
is formally known as the American To-
bacco company.
These men are James B. Duke, Wil—
liam A. Butler, Josiah Browne, Charles
G. Emery, William A. Marburg, Lewis
Ginter, George Arents, George W. Gail,
Benjamin N. Duke and George W.
Watts.
Although indicted for conspiracy, but
one of the tobacco. magnates was pres-
ent, the others apparently not deeming
it worth their While to be in court.
Josiah Browne, secretary of the trust,
. was on hand before court opened. He
took a seat at the lawyers’ table close,
to Mr. Choate and Mr. Walker.
“I do not believe any of the others
who were indicted with me" will be
present.’f said Mr. Browne. “I came at
the request of my lawyers, as I am
more familiar with the case than any
of the other members of the company."
If convicted, the punishment is a fine of
$500 and imprisonment for not more than
a year, or both. Being not at all afraid
of either, the cigarette men left the en-
tire matter to their lawyers. The selec-
tion ofa jury was proceeded with.
Antitrust Prosecution In Missouri.
Kansas City, June 9.—At the direction
of Attorney General McKenna, United
States District Attorney John R. Walk-
er has filed suit' in the federal court
against the Traders’ Live Stock Ex-
change, alleging a violation of the Sher-
man antitrust law of 1890 and averring
that the trust is interfering with inter-
state commerce by its existence. The
‘ suit is directed against the 150 members
of the exchange. Judge Phillips has
set the case for July 1. .

The Statement of aTNorwalk
Citizen That May Save
You Much Future
Trouble.
You contract a cold in the chest. One
that stays a while with you. It won't.
leave even after you have abused it to
your heart's content. You have to eject
it, break it up, or scatter it; Goose
grease freely rubbed' 1n has been known
to do the trick. Well, after you have
gotten it there is no reason why you
should not contract a second in a month
or perhaps in a year. Frail humanity
is no more cold-proof than buttel proof.
It is so with other ailments of the body.
Take the kidneys. They go wrong and
1 also an internal row. They often 1 ight
themselves like the liver, without using
any medicine, but as a rule kidney
troubles stay awhile. Then linger on
and 1ecur semi- annually or periodically
and as the victim ages he is crippled 1n
the back—~twisted and contorted out of
shape and' is a regular hotbed of pains
and aches. If you have anything WI cm;
with your kidneysfollowthe planadopted
by G. S. Partrick of 127 Main st1eet,
Notary Public, who says: “ Mrs. Par-
trick had a severe attack of backache.
Just at the time we both noticed an an-
nouncement about Doan’s Kidney Pills
and came to the conclusion if they only
ca11‘1ed out half what they promised,
they would remove the trouble. My
wife got a box at Glendenning’ 5 drug
store and took them. They gave her
relief. We can lecommend the piep-
aation. ”
Doan s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers, price 50 cents per box, 6

Strange suicide of‘n Rich Lawyer on His '
W'edding h'vc.
Pittsburg, June 9. —A speci..‘-. from
Ligonier tells of the sensational suicide
of Lawyer R. S. Kuhn at 1wank. 5 hotel
on the eve of his wedding.
Kuhn was to have married Miss Min-
nie Lé‘asure and had made every ar—
rangement for' the u edding. He went
to his room at about 9 p. m., apfiarently
in the best of spirits. and without giv—
ing a hint of his purpose. ‘
Later he was found lying on the floor
dead; with a. bullet hole in his temple
and his brains spattered on the wall.
The neWS of the death caused great
excitement because of the belief that
Kuhn had been foully dealt with, and
to satisfy the demand for an investiga-
tion an unofficial jury of professional
and business men was organized. They
determined that it was a case of sui~
cide.
In the pocket of the dead man, who
was said to have been wo1th 915 000,
was found a will in which he leaves
Miss Leasure $5,000 and the balance to
his brother, John E. Kuhn, said to be a
Presbyterian minister at Altoona, Pa.
