THE ICE GAVE WAY
Two Men and 11 Young Woman
Lost Their Lives.
Thirty Skaters Precipitated Into tin
Water In the llasln Near Washing
ton .11 on n me lit at the Nation's
Capital One Policeman
Saved Seven Persons.
Washington, Jan. 13.—While a larg«
crowd was skating on the bathing
basin near the Washington monument
last evening, tlie ice suddenly gave
way and precipitated 30 persons into
the water. Three persons, two men
and a girl, lost their lives. Miss Jes
sie C. Thomas, 20 years of age, em
ployed as a clerk in the bureau of
ethnology, died at the Emergency
hospital. Kight other persons were
treated at the Emergency hospital
and recovered.
The two dead men were identified
as Arthur Wasserbach, an employe
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing, and Henry C. liainill, a clerk in
the war department.
Wasserbach was a native of Wash
ington; Ilamill is from Michigan and
Mis.s Thomas, previous to a year ago,
hail lived in Frederick, Md. Ilamill
was about 45 years of age.
There were probably 2.000 people
ska'ting on the basin at the time of
the accident. A hot water pipe from
the engine room of the Washington
monument empties into the basin
near where the ice gave way. The
skaters had been warned that the lo
cation was a dangerous one, but it is
said they disregarded the advice giv
en them to stay away from the vicin
ity and when the crash came fully
30 men and women went through the
broken ice and into the water.
All were rescued except the two
men whose bodies subsequently were
rescued. Miss Thomas did a short
while after her removal to the hos
pital.
Officer Hannigan. of the metropoli
tan police, jumped into a boat near
at baud and unaided rescued seven
persons. The police are satisfied that
all those who were in the accident
have been accounted for.
UNDER ANTI-TRUST LAW.
Ohio's Attorney General Resins I.cgnl
Action to Oust Si* Coal Companies
from Their Charters.
Columbus, Jan. i;>.—The quiet in
vestigation that Gov. Nash lias been
making of the coal situation for sev
eral days, ripened into fruit yester
day when Attorney General Sheets
filed in the supreme court, at the in
stigation of the governor, quo war
ranto suits against six big coal com
panies to oust the in from their char
ters.
The companies against which suits
are brought are; The New Pittsburg
Coal Co., the Sunday Creek Coal Co..
the Central Hocking Fuel Co., t'ie
Congo Coal Co., the Inter-State Coal
Co. and the Hocking Coal and Iron
Co.
No railroad company is implicated
in the cases, nor are any suits
brought against any company. Judge
Sheets said that he had carefully in
quired into the situation and was
sure that no railroad company was in
the combination.
It is cha'rged in the petition that
these companies have entered into a
conspiracy to limit the output of
coal and to increase and generally
control if he prices. It is further
charged that they have discriminated
In favor of Columbus and against
other cities of the state, selling coal
nt about $1.2."> a ton cheaper here than
elsewhere.
Tiie suits are brought under the
Valentine anti-trust law.
A Coal Kobiier <>oes Free.
Lancaster, Pa., Jan. 15.—Alfred
Tlimmelsbergcr, who was arrested for
stealing coal from cars passing over
the Pennsylvania railroad, was dis
charged from custody yesterday.
Himnielsberger said lie had money to
pay for coal, but could not get any
and he stole it to keep his wife and
children from freezing. The railroad
oflieer who preferred charges against
him requested his discharge on the
ground that they did not, want to
prosecute men in his plight. Every
train of coal passing around the city
is boarded and robbed to some extent.
The coal famine in this city is now
being felt more keenly than ever.

ANOTHER RAILWAY MERGER.
Ir. Tnlln (lie Ktory of l!x
Nal« of tlin L. A. N. LIO:I(t PPIII In
volved Tinny millions.
New York. Jan. 1(1. —The inter-sta.tc
commerce commission met. here
Thursday to take testimony iu re
yard to the complaint of the Ken
tueky railroad commission that the
lnter-state commerce law was being
violated in Kentucky by the alleged
merger of the Louisville <fc Nashville
and the Atlantic Coast line.
Henry Walters, chairman of the
board of the Atlantic Coast Line Co.,
said the company owned a controll
ing interest in six or more small
lines operated as the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Co. Five directors of
'he Atlantic ('oast Line Co. were also
directors of the Louisville & Nash
ville. Witness said: "We offered to
buy the Louisville <fc Nashville, hav
ing heard that Morgan & Co. had got
control of it and knowing the bank
ers could not operate it."
The witness and Mr. Morgan
reached an agreement to buy the
306,0<)0 shares of stock. "We paid,"
said the witness, "$10,000,000 cash,
$35,000,000 bonds and $5,000,000 stock.
The $10,000,000 was raised by sale of
stock, every dollar of which was tak
en by our own stockholders. Prac
tically three holders own the stock o'J
the Atlantic Coast Line Co.: Michael
Jenkins and his family, Walter New
comer and his family and myself. T
do not think Mr. Morgan owns any
of the stock."
President Klliott, of the Atlantic
Coast Line Co.. corroborated Mr.
Walters' testimony.
.T. Pierpont Morgan began his tes
timony by saying he was the head
of his firm and that the firm had
ten or twelve members. He was not
sure how many. He had nothing to
do with the purchase of the 30(i,000
shares except to approve the contract
when made. The deal was explained
to him by Messrs. Perkins and Steele
when lie returned from Europe last
spring. Mr. Morgan presumed a con
ference was held with Mr. Gates
about the L. & N. stock sale, but he
was not present at it.
"Mr. Gates had the stock," said Mr.
Morgan, "and operated a pool which
controlled it. No one knew what lie
was doing. 1 took the stock away
from Gates and put it where it would
not hart the Southern. At the time
we sold we held it for others.
"Let me tell you the story. We
found that Mr. Gates and his asso
ciates had control of the Louisville A
Nashville railroad. When Gates came
to us we found he had control of
300,000 of the shares. That gave hi in
control." Mr. Morgan added. "The
Northern Pacific experience of tiie
year before made us aware of the
danger to the Southern stock and so
we made arrangements with Gates, 112
knew the sale to the Atlantic Coast
railroad would not be a disturbing
element to railroads of the south."

Washington, Jan. 10.—A hearing
was given yesterday by the house
ways and means committee to repre
sentatives of various manufacturing
interests favoring the passage of the
bill introduced by Representative
Lovering, of Massachusetts, which
provides that when import duty is
paid on materials used in the manu
facture or production of articles in
the Cnited States, but they cannot be
specifically identified by the manu
facturer or producer of any article,
as is now required, a drawback may
be allowed on the exportation of such
articles.
W. 11. Seavcr .of the National Wire
Co.. said that steel billets and raw
material cost about. sio a ton less
abroad than nt home, and added: "At
the present time we can buy it abroad
and pay the duty, cheaper than wc
can buy it at home. Conditions, how
ever, are somewhat abnormal at this
time."
"Is there any one company or cor
poration that controls the price of
raw material in this country?" was
asked.
"I should say yes," replied Mr.
Seavcr. "That being the United
States Steel Corporation."
"What lias been their policy toward
raising or lowering prices?" Mr.
Orosvenor asked.
"Their policy has been to retain
prices at such a hiJVh level that the
Independent concerns have found it
very difficult to I've," replied Mr.
Reaver.
Replying to a question as to the
average prii *teel in this* ♦ rT
and abroad, Mr. Seaver said: . Know
It to be a fact that, iu spite of the
enormous demand of this country,
certain companies ore still holding on
to the export business at prices
which J know are very much less than
those obtained in this country."
"112 kn6w they have offered wire
rods in Canada at a price which is
several dollars le*s "than they offered
the same rods for domestic use." said
Mr. Seaver In reply to a question with
reference to foreign selling by the
Cnited States Steel Company.
Representative Swnnsun (Va.) asked
Mr. Seaver:
"When you sell your finished pro
luct do you sell it abroad at less
than yon sell it at home?"
"Yes. sir," was the response, "be
'niise we get the benefit of the draw
back."

WILL FIGHT COMBINE.
Stockmen liaise Honey at Kansas City
Convention to Secure Defeat of Pro
posed Packing Merger.
Kansas City, Jan. 17.—The sixth
annual convention of the National
Live Stock association adjourned yes
terday to meet next year at Port
land, Ore., after electing all the old
officers for the ensuing year and tak
ing the initiative In a systematic
campaign of legislation against the
proposed packing merger. William
M. Springer, general counsel of the
association, in a spirited address,
outlined a bill which he has formu
lated "to protect trade and commerce
against unlawful restraints and mo
nopolies," and which he said was
merely an adaptation of the Sher
man anti-trust law and the Hoar bill,
now pending in the senate. In the
discussion that followed. President
John W. Springer sakl that a bill
along the lines suggested by Judge
Springer will be printed soon by the
association and sent to every state
legislature in the land.
President Springer said that if the
proposed merger should ever be
consummated the National Live
Stock association would string pack
ing houses from Chicago to San
Francisco. In response to an appeal
from the executive committee for a
legislative working fund. $7,500 was
subscribed in less than .'lO minrrtes.
A resolution introduced by Frank
M. Stewart, of South Dakota, pro
testing against the packing merger,
was adopted.
During an address at the afternoon
session, Jerry Simpson favored tariff
reform and said that the enactment
of the tariff law by Germany was a
discrimination against American
products and should teach us how
our present tariff system discrimi
nates against other countries. He
asked of those members of the Wool
Growers' association present if it
were not a fact that wool was worth
as much in London and Liverpool as
in this country. Senator Warren, of
Wyoming, replying to the question,
said that anyone who knew anything
of the question knew that such was
not the case, and a lively tilt between
these two delegates followed.
DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT,
Fuel Shortage Is the Disturbing ICle
nient In the Industrial Situation.
New York, Jan. 17. —K. G. Dun <£•
Co.'s Weekly Review cl Trade says:
Fuel shortage is still the one seri
ously disturbing element in the in
dustrial situation. Transporting fa
cilities have been diverted from other
merchandise, to the disadvantage of
shippers, yet iron furnaces are un
able to secure sufficient supplies of
coke and many other manufacturing
plants arc closed because of inade
quate coal deliveries. .Mines are more
fully operated, but there is no pros
pect of normal conditions until
spring.
Extremely low temperature during
the past week stimulated distribu
tion of heavy clothing and other sea
sonable goods. Retail trade was ac
celerated by the customary clearance
sales, especially in dry goods and
kindred branches. Traveling men are
sending in large orders for spring
goods,-, the volume of advance busi
ness surpassing the customary
amount for this time of year.
Only moderate fluctuations IKIVC
occurred in the great staples, with
the tendency upward and a conspicu
ously llrin tone in evidence.
Failures for the week numbered
207 in the United States, against 334
last year, and .IS in Canada, compared
with 40 a year ago.

Kurnlii|{ Capacity <>l Employes,
Philadelphia, Jan. It. —Having 1 oc
cupied nearly three days in calling
witnesses to testify in opposition to
the demands made by the anthracite
miners, the Delaware & Hudson Co.
closed its <'fi.se before the coal strike
commission yesterday and the com
mission's attention was then called
to the conditions existing' in and
about, the collieries operated by the
Erie Co.
One of the principal witnesses was
Thomas P. Torrey, general coal sales
agent. of the Delaware & Hudson Co.
at Xe-w York, who testified that the
company he represented is deriving
no benefit, from the present, a l .normal
price which the public is paying for
its fuel. Among other witnesses
were two physicians who gave testi
mony tending to show that the occu
pation of a, mine worker is not. so un
healthy as physioians for the miners
have stated; a real estate agent who
testified to the amount of property
owned by miners of the company, and
an employe of the Delaware & Hud
son who made an investigation of
wages paid to bituminous miners
which showed their pay was under
that received by the anthracite
miners.
Philadelphia, .Tan. 15. —Recognition
of the union, which the anthracite
coal operators maintain is not an
issue before the coal strike commis
sion was the principal demand at
tacked by the Erie Co. yesterday in
its contest against, the claims of the
United Mine Workers.
General Superintendent May, of the
Hillside Coal and Iron Co. and the
Pennsylvania Coal Co., which are
controlled by the Erie, was on the
witness stand for a long time and
gave testimony tending to show that
since the advent of the union into
the anthracite regions the workmen
were less efficient, that a lack of dis
cipline has resulted, that it interfered
with authority and limited the earn
ing- capacity of the employes.
Philadelphia, Jan. 17. —More wit
neses were called to the witness
stand Friday and informed the com
misloners that the union miners re
stricted the product of anthracite
coal and otherwise interfered with
the discipline of the employes. The
Erie Co., which controls the Pennsyl
vania Coal Co. and the Hillside Coal
and Iron Co., closed its oa«e. The
Sc.ranton Coal Co., which operates,
besides its own, the collieries of the
Elk Hill Coal and Iron Co., then took
up the attack on the demands of the
miners.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
Government Will ICmploy Women to
Prevent Hie Importation of Girls lor
Immoral Purposes.
Washington, Jan. 15. —The treasury
department has information which
leads to the conclusion that to a lim
ited extent alien girls and women are
being decoyed to this country for im
moral purposes. With a view to as
certaining the exact facts the depart
ment has decided to appoint a num
ber of women inspectors for employ
ment at the port of Xew York, whose
duty it will be to board all incoming
steamers and make investigation into
suspicious cases in the first and sec
ond cabins and to give needful infor
mation and advice to those who may
be ignorant of the real character of
the houses in which they may have
been promised honest employment.
As a preliminary step in this direc
tion the department yesterday made
inquiry of the civil service commis
sion as to whether there was at pres
ent an eligible list from which these
appointments could be made, and if
not. whether the department could ap
point such women inspectors without
a competitive examination. The com
pensation to be allowed will be
$1,200 a year. The ditties performed
will be <>f a difficult and frequently of
an unpleasant character.
Would Curb the Injunction llahlt.
Columbus, ()., Jan. 17. —The Ohio
miners' convention yesterday adopt
ed a report of the injunction commit
tee, in which they demand of con
gress enactment of laws classifying
the causes which are subject to the
jurisdiction of federal judges; ap
proval of Injunctions by two elective
judges before being issued: time
limit to answer at 30 days; right of
trial by jury where contempt is
charged for alleged violation of in
junctions; tlie presenting of reason
able proof in application for injunc
tion, under penalty of imprisonment
for perjury, and demanding that the
judge who issues the injunction shall
not sit at the trial of the defendant.
