GOVERNMENT WINS
COAL MONOPOLY SUIT
AGAINST LACKAWANNA
U. S. Supreme Court De
clares Disposition of
Product Through Subsid
iary Concern a Violation
of Law.
WASHINGTON, Juno 21.-Tho Govern
ment today won In the Supreme Court
Its anti-trust suit to put the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad out of
tho coal'seltlng business by alleged eva
sion ot the commodities clause law
through a subsidiary coal-selltng com
pany. Tho operating plan was declared
Illegal.
Tho railroad's plan was salo of the coat
at the mouth of tho company's mines to
tho Delaware, Lackawana and Western
"Coal" Company, except such as It
needed for operating the road. The sub
sidiary company then sold the coal,
transported on tho Delawaro, Lacka
wanna and Western lines.
Tho Government contended that tho ex
cluslvo contract between the railroad and
coal companies by which tho latter ex
clusively purchased tho railroad's coal
was monopolistic and an evasion of the
commodities clause act divorcing rail
roads from coal selling. .
The New Jersey District Federal Court
dismissed tho Government's suit, but
was reversed In today's unanimous deel-
Atlanta jail early today
slon of Ihe Supreme Court. In It the
directors, officers and stockholders of the
coal and railroad companies were de.
scribed as practically Identical. That the
railroad dictates coal prices to customers
of the coal company was also pointed out.
Justice Lamar read the opinion of the
court. He declared the railroad retained
an Indlreot Interest In the coal and by
means of Its contract could control prices
at New Tork. The court plainly Indi
cated that the contract was monopolistic
and directed the Government to bring
new proceedings against the Delaware,
Iaokawanna and Weetarn to step Ua al
leged unlawful saheioe of seJlisg coal.

Governor.
ATLANTA, Ga., Juno 2L-Tho death sen
tonco of Leo M. Frank, superintendent of
the National Pencil Factory, convicted
slayer of 15-year-old Mary Phagan, an
employe of tho factory, was commuted to
llfo Imprisonment by Governor John M.
Slaton shortly beforo midnight.
Fearing an attempt to storm the Jail,
drag Frank from the grim old "Tower"
and lynch him, tho authorities suppressed
the announcement of the commutation
until the prisoner had teen smuggled
from the prison and rushed In an ambu
lance to the railway station, whence he
was taken by train to Macon. Tho Jour
ney from Maaon to tho State Prison Farm
at Mllledgevillo was made by automobile.
As a precaution against surprise by any
angry citizens that might have antici
pated the Governor's action and the se
cret removal ot the prisoner, Sheriff Man
gum filled the ambulance with armed
deputies, who stood ready to stand oft
a mob.
The ambulance ruse was carried out
until tho train drew out of Atlanta.
Frank, on a stretcher, covered with white
linen, was carried Into the car.
The wisdom of the extraordinary pre
cautions taken by tho authorities was
made manifest this morning almost be
foro daybreak. As the' news spread that
the Frank sintenca .had been commuted

from the Jail a muttering crowd gathered.
By 9 o'clock hundreds ot men thronged

more violent minute by minute. Police-
