BECOMES EFFECTIVE JULY 1 Courts Requested to Restrain the Put- ting in Force of a New System of Coal Car Distribution Intended to End Discrimination. Chicago, June 2.—The Illinois Cen- tral and the Chicago and Alton rail- roads have filed applications in the § United States circult court for writs of injunction restraining the inter- state commerce commission from put- ting into force an order recently is- sued directing the railroads to adopt a new system of coal car distribution. The order which the railroads seek to have set aside becomes effdctive July 1 and directs that in distributing coal cars to mines along their lines the railway companies shall take into account all cars carried on the roads, including forelgn railway fuel, leased or private fuel cars and fuel cars used for the private service of the rail- roads. The interstate commerce com- mission held that the failure of the roads to take all cars into account made it possible for them to discrim- Inate against certain mine owners. The action of the commission followed a suit before that body brought by the Illinois Collieries company against the railroads in which it was charged that certain mines obtained the use of all classes of cars, while the defendant Wwas compelled to be content with what cars were available. It is maintained by the railroads, in their applications for injunctions, that the commission is without jurisdiction, that there never have been any unjust discriminations in the distribution of coal cars and that such discrimina- tlons are impossible because the for- eign, leased or private cars are used only'in hauling the fuel supplies of the railroads. AUDIENCE ESCAPES SAFELY Panic Follows Fire in Theater at Cleveland. Cleveland, June 2.—Fire broke out in Keith’s theater during a matinee performance. A panic ensued, but so far as can be learned every one es- caped without injury.

This had a quieting effect and the people passed out rapidly. The performance on the stage was continued in order to quiet the fears of the audience and was only sus- pended when the last person had passéd out. The flames were under control within a half hour. The dam- age to the theater will not be heavy. WHOLE FAMILY DROWNS. They Were Celebrating Payment of Mortgage on Home.
