Above is a diagram of the armor and gun equipment which, it is "'clieved, the British have mounted on the
Holt motor tractor, of which a recent photograph is reproduced here. Thugh the British are giving credit
to various officials for the invention, the actual tractor is an American product, manufactured at Peoria, 111.
About 1000 have been shipped to the British Government. Their most striking feature is the double cater
pillar wheels at the rear, which run on jointed rails fitted on the inside of corrugated belting. The 18,000
pounds of weight is so balanced that the heavy front -wheel can bo "Jerked" into tho air so as to cross an
obstacle, just as a rider pulls up the head of his horse to cross, a ditch or fence. Its makers say it is quite
possible for tho machine to get astride a trench and enfilndc its occupants on both sides by machine-gun fire.
The tractor develops 120 horsepower and can attain a speed of about ten or twelve miles an hour.

BIG COAL TRUST
CASE IS BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
Justice Department Files
Brief Asking Dissolution
of Reading Company
PRESCRIBES REMEDIES
JjjjoT-fffWFiilJf jrx;
WASHINGTON', Sept. 10. Contending
that through the medium of the Keddlng
Company, an alleged holding company, a
combination of great corporations having
assets aggregating more than J500.000.000
has exercised a monopoly over the produc
tion, sale and transportation of coal In the
nnthraclte fields of Pennsylvania and neigh
boring States, the Department of Justice
today filed a brief In the United States Su
premo Court asking for the dissolution of
tha aliened monopoly Into competitive un'ts
so as to restore conditions In harmony with
tho Sherman ahtl-trust ,law. Tho brief de
dares that tho IUadlng Company controls
more than two-thirds of alt the coal-bearing
lands in ilia entire SchuylkllL region of
Pennsylvania.
Tho lower court held that the Ilea'ding
Company was not operating In violation of
the Sherman law; that the Philadelphia
and Beading Railway Company andthe
Central Railroad of New Jersey were not
competitive and that their1 union did not
violate the Sherman law : that tne comDina
tlon between tho Reading Coal Company and
the Wllkes-Barre Coal Company which were
competitive, was a violation of latv, and
that tho agreements of 187J, 188S, 1887 and
1892 between the Lehigh Coal and Navlga
tlon Company and the Central Railroad
Company and the "WUltes-Barre Coal Com
pany were not In restraint of trade; that
the Reading Railway Company In trans
porting coal owned by the Reading Coal
Company did not violate the commodity
Cjauso of the Interstate commerce act, and
fhat the provisions of Us decree requiring
the Central Railroad Company to glvo up
all Interest In the -Vllkes-Barre Coal Com
pany, as a means of separating the two con
cerns made It unnecessary to determine
whether the transportation by the Central
Railroad Company of the coal owned by
the vVllkes-Barre Coal Company was vio
lative of the commodity clause.
This decision was unsatisfactory both
to the Government and to the defendants,
and both aides appealed.
OTHER DEFENDANTS
In addition to the Reading Cornpany, tho
defendants named are the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company, the Cen.
trat Railroad of New Jersey, the Lehigh
and WIlkAs-Barre Coal Company, the Le
high Coal and Navigation Company, the

POLITICAL "PRESSURE"
Court Forbids Showing "Where

for Penrose's Aid
BOSTON MAYOR'S INTEREST
ymfm"
The film "Where Aro 'My Children?"
which aroused a storm of protest In several
States whera attempts were made to place
It on exhibition, will not bo shown In Penn
sylvania. Despite political pressure, which It Is
said Mayor Curley, of Boston, sought to
bring through Senator Penrose, Judgo
Audenrled In Common Pleas Court this aft
ernoon dismissed an appeal made by the
Humanity Film Company from a decision
of the State Board of Censors.
Following a hearing of tho caBe, which
took place last Saturday, Judges Audenrled
and Carr viewed- the picture at a private
exhibition at the censors' display room,
Eighteenth and Filbert streets.
OF SORDID DETAILS
The picture deals with sordid details of
tho seamy aide of life and Is presented
under the moral uplift plea In several
States. In Chicago It was allowed to run
unmolested.
Three weeks ago the film was condemned
by the Federation of Cathollo Societies at
their New York convention. In some cities
'where It was permitted to be exhibited the
managers of houses displayed signs that no
pne under twenty-one years old would be
admitted.
On hearing that the picture had Inet with
opposltlqn In Pennsylvania, Mayor James
M. Curley, of Boston, It a said, asked Sen
ator Penrose to use his Influence 'with the
State Board of Censors to have the picture
passed.
Senator renrose Bald he kn,ew Mayor
Curley, and when the Jatter visited, him In
Washington he gava him a letter of Intro

Charges were made today by Stonemen
loyal to the Rev, II. C. Stone that tho rea
son Harry T. Baxter and his fzllowers
seceded from the order was due to the fact
that they did not receive the support of the
entire body at the last election.
Mr, Baxter replied this afternoon by say
ing: "I did not go Into the Stonemen's organ
ization with any Idea of using that organi
zation for political purposes. I have always
been Independent In politics; I claim to be
a good citizen and In my opinion every
good ctlzen should participate n poltlcs."
"I have never heard any political dis
cussion among tho Stonemen. In fact I
tried to prevent the Stonemen fr9m getting
Into politics. Last February Doctor Stone
asked me to organize the Twenty-sixth
ward for the Stonemen, I agreed to do this,
but I told Mr, Stone that politics and
social activities should never mix. If Doc
tor Stone and his spies, or what we called
missionaries, want to go Into the business
of raking up politics, I can furnish proof
that wlU surprise them, but I don't want to
go nto that kind of a mess."
Mr. Baxter was Independent leader of the
Twenty-sixth Ward for the Porter cam
paign. Frank Kammerad and Dr. F H.
Rhoads were candidate. for Inagtstrate
on the Franklin party ticket at the last elec
tion and were badly defeated. ICarrimerad
la from the Thirty-ninth Ward and Rhoads
from Uie Forty-second Ward, It Is charged
by the-Stonemen that Baxter, Kamerad and
Rhoads were angry because they dfd not
get the support -of their fellow Stonemen
and. have started this rebellion to get even.
The first test of strength between the
Stonemen's Fellowship and the rebellious
United Protestant Fellowship will come to
