DECLARES COAL CO.
IS TRUST VIOLATOR
Senater Pepper Charges Sale of
Lehigh Stock by R. R. Breaks
Sherman Law
ASKS ORDER FOR NEW BIDS
Central, however, denied that the
Itejneldg bid was the loner, Inasmuch
as It carried a prevision for the pay
ment of the Interest en the 80 per cent
of the purchase price, which was te be
made In deferred payments. He nrgued
that even If It were the lower, the
ltllrend Company In the Interest of Its
stockholders had a perfect right te sell
Its stock te a syndicate which was
friendly and efficient, whose personnel
wai closely related te its own and
whose ownership would be a virtual as
surance that the coal business, some
live million tens yearly, would be
carried ever the Jersey Central.
The Court then nked who was behind
the Starrs ether than the Franklin Se
curities Company.
"Ne one.'' replied Senater Pepper,
"although wc have n gentlemen's agree
ment with the Lehigh Ceal and Navi
gation Company te give them the first
opportunity of purchasing the stock
from us should we decide te get out of
the operation of the coal company."
The suggestion of fraud wai brought
Inte the case when Sennter Pepper
charged that Reynolds had based his
bid en a balance sheet of October 111,
1021, which hnd hen given Mm by the
Jersey Central, while nil the ether com
petitors had n balance sheet of July HI,
1tl!l , as the latest financial statement
of the company.
"Well, Mr. Pepper," said Judge
HulTingten. "you weulnd t say that

Senater Pepper nppeared In the
United States District Court in this
elty yesterday and declared that the
sale of certain stock of the Lehigh and
TVilkcs-Perre Ceal Cempanv te a syn
dicate was In violation of the Anti
Trust Act. He sa'd:
"If this court upholds the sale of the
steik of the Lehigh and Wllkes-Ilarre
Ceal Company, formerly held by the
Central Rnl'rnm! of New Jersev. te the
Reynolds Syndicate, which Is headed bv
a man who wn, until the lsuance of
the court order, n stockholder In both
the railroad and coal company, and
whose bid was net as high ns that of i
the Franklin SeeutltliM tYinpnn el
Philadelphia, then I say the Readmit
dissolution ns ordered tinder the Sher
man act Is net n dissolution nt nil but
a traesty, for the same situation new
exists after the sale as existed before "
The Scn.iter was arguing a petition
en behalf of Isaac and Mary T. W.
Starr, of Laverock, Montgomery Coun
ty, shareholders in the Jersey Central,
who asked the Court te set aside the
t-ale and direct a re-nle te the highest
bidder the Franklin Securities Com
pany. Judges lludlngten. Davis and Thomp
son heard the nrgument. In June. 11121.
the same court ordered the Central '
Railroad of New Jersey te dispose of
nil the capital stock of the Lehigh and
Wllkcs-Hnire Ceal Compan, which It i
then owned, te persons or torperutions J
net Its own stockholders or stockholders
in either the Reading Company, the ,
railway company or the ce.il com- I

DIES IN HOSPITAL NEAR HIS
SON WITHOUT KNOWING IT
Bey and Father Pan Away In Ward
at Wet Chester
West Chester, July 0. Milten L.
Pyle, forty-one cars old. of Merstcln,
filed yesterday in the Chester County
Hospital here following n recent oper
ation for stomach trouble unaware that
his son, Walter I. Pyle, sixteen, had
died In the same ward, within two cots
of the one en which he lay, after being
fatally Injured by an automobile near
Frazer.
He was net told of the accident. The
funeral scrvlcei for father and son were
conducted In the family home last even
ing. The bodies will be taken te Little
Rrltaln, Lancaster County, for Inter
ment today.
The elder Pyle was a foreman nt Villa
Maria Convent, near Fratcr. He leaves
his wife and six children, all of the
latter under twelve years old.
Te Improve Playground
Mayer Moere has signed n contract
with Heward Geerge for $1227, for
Improvements nt the playground nt
Tenth nnd Lembard streets, for which
many objectionable buildings were re
moved Inst year. Swings, traveling
rings, giant strides and ether features
are te be installed In the playground
nt once.
Wmm
constituted n fraud would
hardly seems conceivable."
"Probable Is the word." replied the
Senater; "If the courts would leek
mere te the probable and less te the
I'enceivnhle there would net be se many
of these dissolution proceedings going
up In smoke.
"The point is this: The fact that
Re nebis Is friendly te the Jersey Cen
tral menns nothing. Rut taken with
the fact that he was awnrded the bid
ever another firm, just as responsible
nnd whose bid named a higher sum, it
carricx u (ertnln significance. It means
that the sjndinitc which nwarded the
bid will divert the business right back back
te the railroad, at the same time elimi
nating nil competition, which was the'
situation that prcileuMy existed and
which the dissolution elder was meant1
te chnnge. It will give the public
something te think about, nnd I think
the Court will think twice before It
upholds ii wile which treats its own'
order with contempt " i
The ('our reserved decision, saying
If it were necessary It would appoint
a master te take testimony in the
matter.
