1EG0RY ATTACKS READING COMPANY jld Break "Backbone of Alleged ' Monopoly of Anthracite." ashington. ? Attorney General jory yesterday filed a brief in supreme court in hi3 appeal from decision of a federal district t in Pennsylvania refusing the mment's pica for discussion unthe Sherman anti-trust act and commodities clause of the railrate act, of the Reading Com \ called "the backbone fo the ali monopoly of anthracite." ic combination, the brief says, a history peremeated with ille;y and charactreized by a delibernurnoso to drive others from the iield, resulting in increased prices out If proportions to increased producion costs. The government contends n its brief that the Reading holding rompany (the Reading Company) 'through its subsidiaries, Reading {Coal Company and Reading Railway /Company, controls the production, transportation and sale of anthracite [coal from lands in the Schuylkill region tributary to the lines of ReadMug Railway Company, and that this control was acquired and is maintained by other than normal methods of industrial development. "At the current rate of mining," , the brief says, "the coal areas of the companies thus leagued and combinyde together according to the generally accepted calculations of geologists and mining engineers, will outlast by many years those of any competitor. In time, therefore, this combination if not dissolved, will own or control every ton of commercially available anthracite known to exist." The government makes the usual plea that the several coal companies 'and railroads constituting the combinations be completely separated from each other and erected into independent units. o The birthplace of Jefferson Davis. i at Fairview, Ky., will be converted into a public park if plans discussed at a meeting of Confederate veterans at Fairview are consummated. o Pine-Tar Relieves a Cold.

A most extraordinary church was i recently organized in Labor Temple, | New York City, which is supported ; by the Homo Missions Compiittee of 1 the .Presbytery of New York. Two 1 hundred persons were received into membership, 189 on confession of faith and 11 by certificate.

Grateful thousands tell it? Of weak backs made strong? Of weak kidneys made well? Urinary disorders corrected. Conway people add their testimony. They praise Doan's Kidney Pills. <yonway evidence is now complete. Conway testimony is confirmed; Reports of early relief substantiated. Merit doubly proved by test of time Let a Conway citizen speak. B. P. Skipper, carpenter, Main St., <Conway, says: "I was annoyed by pains in my back. My kidneys did not act as they should. I used Doan's Kidney Pills procured from the Norton Drug Co., and thev brought me j,?vr>pt relief. I have Had no baek ni no or pains since and my kidneys have been re/oiar in action." (Statement given January 5, 1010.) OVER FOUR YKARS LATER. Mr. .'Skipper said: "I use Doans Kidney Pills occasionally, whenever my kidneys show any signs of disorder and they always give me relief."

EVIDENCE AGAINST MRS. GILLIGAN Hartford, Conn.?Evidence to support charges that Mrs. Amy E. Archcr-Gilligan, proprietor at Windsor of an old people's home, was responsible fo! the death of five inmates of the home was laid before the grand jury today. The death for which Mrs. Gilligan was arrested v/n3 that of Franklin R. Andrews, an inmate who died in 1914. As a result of an investigation the body was exhumed and it is alleged the autopsy showed the presence of a powerful poison. o? DESERT PLANK ROAD MADE OF PORTABLE SECTIONS. Confronted by the task of building a highway over a desert of constantly shifting sands, which in a few years might cover and render useless a road bed of macadam or concrete, the California Hiirhwav C!nm mission has in_ troduced a type of paving which is portable, so that it can be easily moved to conform to the changing topography of the country. The October Popular Mechanics Magazine de scribes the paving, which is made o plank, built in sections 12 ft. long and 8 ft. wide, and was hauled by wagonr to the points where they were needed This unusual thoroughfare extend: six miles across a portion of the des ert lying between Yuma, Ariz., am Holtville, Calif. The plank section are built on 4 by 6-in stringers. T!v units were bound together by iro' strips placed over rows of spikes, oar either side and one along the centoi o'* the road. Round-headed bolts run ning through the planks and tlv stringers were used to hold the strips i down. The iatter, in addition to joining the units together, keep the spikes from working out of the lum ber. o There is reason to believe that the Greek government has sent an ultimatum to Germany and Bulearia. w - 4 o NOTICE OF SALE.

The < Birmingham News, commenting cdi- 1 torially upon the situation, and re- * viewing the prospect, among other < things, says: "There is at present a shortage of the white paper and indi- 1 nations now point to a news paper famine. This shortage has put the publishers at their wits' end, and has , sent prices soaring from about two :ents a pound to five cents, and the supply is scarce even at the higlicsi figures. "At the trade commission hearing 'ast week at which the publishers vere represented, there were many suggestions of relief, but none that , seemed to assure immediate benefit Though some hints were made thrd ;he paper manufacturers had formed concreted action to put up the prices af their product, the manufacturers i themselves have asked for an inves- i ligation by congress. They contend ;hat tl:o price of paper throughout i the world is now double what the American publisher is paying; that louble the price can be had if they would export all their product, and that they are unable to produce the quantity required for this country. :hey furthre assert that all foreign importations of wood pulp ar.d other raw material entering into the manufacture of paper are discontinued, and ,hat the enormous increase in circulation of daily papers and periodicals itas exceeded the output of the mills. "if this be true, the request of the j publishers that congress place an cm- | aargo on the exportation of pa|>or seems reasonable and judicious, inAeed the only wise course to pursue. Such a move, supplemented by the advice to all newspapers to exercise the most rigid economy in the size of newspapers and in any possible waste of any kind, might afford immediate and permanent relief." : The Mobile Register regards the limited supply of print paper as a "crisis in newspaperdom," and under that caption it says: "A crisis has been reached in thej newspaper publishing business that is1 causing sleepless nights to many Thousands of Si Have Found ^ * 1 Relief by OI Using ...

The price of white paper has gone up so high that x great many papers are making nt profit at all, ami a number of them. >!d and well established, are on the /cry verge of suspending publication "In a number of cities the publish irs are meeting the situation by rais ing the price of their papers, by in :reasing the price of advertising am jy practicing economies in the size of die paper. In Philadlephia, where there are seven or eight of the mos prosperous papers in this country, th publishers have all agreed to reduce the number of pages per week printed to 80 or les3, and not to print a Sun day paper over this size. This mean.4 that instead of 14, 10, 18, 20 and 24 page daily papers, Philadelphia wii have to be content with 10 and It page papers. "New York papers have taken similar though not so drastic action, and _he publishers by state are meeting and taking up the question. What i? roming no one can tell, but The Reg ister believes that the newspaper oi tomorrow in this country will be v strictly news paper, with news editeu closely .so as to give something of al of the Associated Press report but no in such great length as now, and with the gradual elimination of feature.4 which take up so much newspupei space. These features will be con tinued as long as they are circulatioi builders, but they will be cotnpressc< into smaller space. "The situation is so serious that the best thought of the publishing work is studying it in all its intrudes a* never before, and until paper get.cheaper and some substitute raw ma. terial for its manufacture is found, it is going to continue to be a sleeptaking problem." o SELF-SUPPORT.
