District Court of Philadel- p’fiia Gives Decision for Defendant " Philadelphia, July 3.—The United Etates district court today rendered a decision in favor of the defendant in the government suit ;to dissolve the leading company and’ to separate the Rew Jersey Central ralroad from the Reading. - ' ¥ The suit of the government against e Reading company and allied cor- rations is probably the most im- ortant step the department - of stice has taken in its attack upon What it contends i8 a monopoly in the ‘anthracite coal trade. In 1907 the government filed a sut against all the thracite coal carrying railroads and Jated coal companies charging that a general illegal combination existed | fong them. This charge was not sus- tained by the supreme court but the vernment won two other material Jicints in that suit. It then decided to ke action against many of the com- | panies in separate suits. ° The case against the Delaware; Lackawanna d Western railroad ana its allied al company and that against the ,chigh Valley railroasz znd the coal mpany affiliated with it are now in ge federal courts. i Piled in September, 1913, © & The suit against the Reading was . filed here in September, 1913. The defendants are: © The Reading compuny, corporation. i : The Philadelphia and Réaring Rail- ay company. % The Philadelphia and Reading Rail- nd Iron company, i The Central Railroad or New Jersey. & The Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal company. * " The Lehigh Coal ana Navigation pany. ¥ .

To, Break Up Combine. The government sought to break up the alieged combination in the follow- ing manner: i; - That thé Reading Company, eading Coal and iren Compans, Reading Railway Complny and tho " diréctors of these companies-be ad- Judged an illegal comkination under the Sherman anti-trust act. .

That fhe Reading Company dis- Dose of its controlling interest in the Jergey Central Railroad because the ~/Government alleged it wos a competi- tive road and its acquisition a viola- tion of law. 4. That the Reading Coal and Iron Company be enjoined from purchas- Ing the coal output from so-called in- dependent concerns hecause such pur- | chasing was in furtherance of monoy- lization. b Interest kn Schuylkill. 5.

JAMES M.SULLIVARN. James Mark Sullivan, American minister to Santo Domingo, whose of- ficial actions were Investigated last fall as the result of charges rmade agains: him, arrived in New York from Sonto Domingo aboard the Clyde liner Iroquois. No action as yet has been .akén by the state department as a result of the investigation, but it is regurded as significant that the minister has brought his family back to the states with him and is accom- patied by forty-six pieces of baggage. The ox:ly word that could Le extracted from Sullivan as to his affairs was the inforn' .tion ‘that he is going to Wash- ington to report to his superior. It is under:-tood that Sullivan's trip to ‘Washington will give him the chance to make personal explanations of many things charged by W. W. Vick, formerly recéiver general of customs for ‘“ie Dominican republic. . The ac- companying picture of Sullivan was talten on his arrival in New York-eity.

The disposal of the stock of the Lehigh and Hudson R.-er Railway Company, and the Lehigzh and New England Railroad Company, which is held jointly by the Tersey Central Railroad and the Lekigh Coal and Navigation Company. The Leéhigh and Hudson River Railway extends from Easton, Pa. where it connects with anthracite railroads, to “New York state where it conhects with the Nev: York Central ‘Railroad and alsg wijth the New York, New Haven and Hart- ford Railroad, farming a . through route from the mines to central and southern New England. The Lehigh and Néw England runs cirectly from the coal regions into New York where it connects with the New York Central and the New Haven roads. Theése two railroads use the trackage of other roads on parts of their routes. Combination And Monopolization. 9. That the Reading Company be | adjudged to constjtute in itself a com- bination and monopolization in viola- tion of law. Under the commodities clause of the act to regulate commerce, the govérnment asked that the Reading | Railway, the Jérsey Central, the Le- high and Susquéhanna and the T.e- high and New England railroads be enjoined from transporting cval mined or purchased by their affiliated coal companies and owned by theso coal companies at the time of trans- portation. The commodities clause prohibits transportation companies | from carrying in interstate commerce | any product in which they have an interest. i Argument in the case was heard la~t June before Judges Buffington, Mec- Pherson and Hunt. The last named was a member of the Commerce Court | jand was assigned to sit in the case | because of the retirement from the bench of Judge George Grey. - SERIES OF TRIAL TESTS, Yachts Vanitie and Resolute to Com- pete in Long Island Sound, New York, July 3.—The first of a | series wf twenty or more races be- tweén the America’s cup - defense yachts Vanitie and Resolute to de- cide: which of - the' seventy-footers shall defend the ‘cup ' against Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenger was to be | sailed today in..Long Island Sound.

The Harue, Netherlands, July 3.— The Jan Toroop exposition, now being held here, reveals three remarkable works of Eolland’s most distinguished relizious svmbolist and modernist in art, devoted to “The Flight from Bel- &lum.” Bnth here and in Amsterdam Wwhere tl:cy have already been shown, these studics have created comment. Conccived 1n an exalted symbolism and exe ;uted in 2 modified cubist style, théy hoth intrigued snd captivated the conservaiive Duteh publie. “After all.” eaid Mr. de Neree tot Babberich, one of the younger and more radical artists of the Nether- lands, “How is one to put upon ecan- vas arythir» which can give any sort of adequatie eonception of the horror, the suffering and the incredible wrong of the German devastation of Belgium, merely by pleturing isolated instances of hidevus acts. It is a situation where only the - st comprehensive symbol- ism ecan possibly give competent ex- pression to the subject offered. - it is this that fan Toroop has atiempted. *rhe Holy Plight.” The most remarkable of the three pictures is ontitled ‘‘The Holy Flight ~191¢. During the Beigian Exodus.” It has been purchased by the Munici- pal Museum of Amsterdam. In gener- al character it is cubist as well as symbolical, though in thie instance the artist has not employei that blaz- ing cunterpart of .primary colors of which be.is so fond in hie landscapes. The eniire ~ork is:a study imdbrowns, with ‘a flat prospective almost Durer- esque. In {hc background are seen the roofs and facades of « city, prom- inent among which is a church, from whos: wind<ws the" flama¢ are curl- ing. In the foreground is a white- robed. femaie figure, in no sense ideal- ized save by a eertain asceticism of feature, with closed eyelids and hold- ing a simpie, woodén cross tightly clasped to tne breast. 'With the ut. mo~t p-igne.cy the figure reveals an intolerable ;burden of. paind bénding at tHree-quarters length acrass the whole of the forefront of the comporition, in an attitude of the blindest and most precipitated flight. Behing, in the middle distance, are the coifed facer and veiled shoulders of five nuns (a favorite subject with the artist) bent .n the haste of even more urgent desparation.” The whole con- stitutes a very effective symbolism of the Eelg.an cxodus, expressing in this way, probably in more enduring form, the spirit of the Belgian people driven before the Prussian armies, .than Adrian Qst—another Dutch artist de- voting himseif to Belgian themes—has been able to achieve by employing an almost equ. ily -striking realism of method. “The Holy Flight” has inspired the Dutch poet, Miek Jenssen, to a verse written upon seeing Toroop’s unusual painting. She -has also translated others of Toroop’s works into poetic prose, which has been- widély pub- lished in the Nétherlands, adding to the fame which the artist's extraordi- nary symbolism has secured for him. Cau Draw and Paint. Toroops, however, has one advan- tage over many of the cubists, futur- ists .and symbolists whose work ‘has béen' a source of amusément to -the general public for some - timie. He not ‘only can both draw and paint, but has done so with success, his careful, realistic work of thirty years ago still being considered as able as that of any of the contemporary school of Dutch painters. It would be difficult to imagine a more striking contrast that that afforded at the present ex- position by the exhibition, side by side, of one of the paintings of To- roop’s earlier, materialistic manner. “The Pickpocket,” a piece of admir- able realism, and a wierd conception | in the Aubrey Beardsley style, called “The Deep Sea.” Toroop’s personal history is by ne means an ordlary one. An “Indo” as the . colonial half-breeds are called, hailing from Sumatra in the Dutch East Indies, he began his work as a painter of uncompromising realism. Furthermore, he was himself a pro- nounced materialist, holding no relig- ious convictions. With his conversion to Catholicism, however, . .the whole style of his-painting changed. He has devoted himself to seeking to express in line and color the liturgy of the | Roman Cathdlic church by a symbol- | ism of his own conception in such of his exquisite, aetherial drawings as ‘“Marriage,” “Love,” and “The Bridge of Godly Life.” WILLIAMS VS, CHURCH.

SAVING MONEY FREELY DESPITE WAR Business Fair—Economy Has Re- placed Extravagance, Says Clews | SUITS FOR STOUT WOMEN A SPECIALTY, New York, July 3,—With the ap- proach of Independence Holidays, the natural tendency for activity on the . Stock Exchange was to diminish. During the week foreign selling of American stocks became more ana more evident. This was due mainly to liquidation of foreign holdings, rendered necessary by preparations ; for the forthcoming huge war loan . in London, and purchases in the United States. For some time to | come qur large excess of exports over imports is likely to have a mater- ia] ,effect upon the international se- curities movement. During the tweive | months Just closed our merchandise exports have exceeded Iimports by about $1,000,000,000. During the same perlod. we have also imported over $125000,000 in gold.” How far the unseen items in the international | accou-t have gone towards ilquidat~ ing Europe's indebtedness, it is im- possible to say. Diminished remit- | tanees on aceount of dividends, in. | terest, frasights, tourists, commissions, | ete., would tend to materially coun- teract this excess of exports. Never- theless, there is every prospect thatl a heavy preponderance of the latter will continue until the termination of the war. Orders for munitions by European governments to the e~ tent of abour $1,000,000,000 have al- ready been received.' and more hig contracts are in course of negotiation. ‘The bulk of these orders. which are now being forwarded, will probably be shipped during the next twelve | months. That Europe will be able to increase her shipments of merchan- dis in payment is exceedingly doubtful because each belligerent is turning =o | of it energies to war. therefore, ex- large a part The conditions are, tremely favorable for a continucd influx of American securties. It 78 estimated that the recorded of Amer- ican railroad shares in Europe are about $2,500,000,000 of which more than two-thirds represent bonds and notes; but these figures do not include industrials. = State and municipal is- sues, nor real estate or other forms of investments. When it is. remem- bered that this country creates new securties at the rate of $1,500,000,- 000, to $2,500,000,000 per year, Or even more, some idea of the invest- ment ‘capacity of the United Stafss can be gained.. In good years we have issued znd absorbed $1,000,000,- 000 of new railroad . securities alona without inconvenience, and to these figures must be added many other forms, of investments not really te- corded or discovered. Saving Money Freely. ‘While this country is not today en- joying the same degree of prosperity that it did three or four years ago, it is nevertheless saving money freely, because business is fair in volurme and economy has taken the place of eéxtravagance in both business and pri- vate expenditures. The chief source of extravagance today is in gover ment, state and municipal enterpris a source of waste that calls loudl for restraint and greater efficiency There is no doubt a large amount of capital seeking good investments; ‘and, | with corfidence and .enterprise at | home estabiished. our ability to’take back a fair amount of foreign hold- ings in Americans is unquestioned. In all probability American investors will have a chance to buy some of ‘he l gilt-edged securities now held by rich foreign holders st prices whieh wiil | ‘he . become | yield considerable profits after war when conditions have more normal. A more favorable op- portunity for taking back a consider- able amount of Ameriean stocks cou'd not be expected. Such a policy would strengthen this country financially and industrially. Our forelgn obligations would be diminished, ' and Europe would be hetter able to coRduct the war by withdrawing temporarily =2t least a portion of its invested capita: | in the United States. This does not mean that we shall no longer need foreign capital, or that we have as yet reached the point where we will have capital to lend abroad. When nor- mal conditions are resumed, the d.- velopment of our natural resources and of our city and industrial life wili require large sums; much larger in fact than w- will be able to command at home. At no distant future we | may_again be seeking foreign capital. though not on the same scale as dur- ing the last fifty vears; while on ! the other hand before another fifty has passed we may have become one | of the first lending nations in the | world, if not the first. | Commanding Higher Rates. | Perhaps the most significant efl'ez‘.‘.‘ of the war was the low prices rea- | lized on -New York City's 43 per | cent loan, proving that as a result of | the war capital is commanding high- | er rates. This tendency should causo | no surprise, but should in fact be ex- | pected to continue as long as war fi-| nancing remains the dominating ele. | ment in the world's finances. -Ite is:| not possible to waste $18,000,000.- | 000 to $20,000,000,000 dollars a year, which is what the present | European war is costing without | profoundly . affecting the world's | supply of capital. Such waste | inveitably 'means higher rates. The United States is the only great coun- try not wasting its energies in war, and is the only country that is crest- ing a new supply of capital out of savings. the owners of which will in- | sist upon and will secure better re. turns. Home trade conditions are fairly satisfactory. There has becn no further improvement in the vol- | ume of trade, but réports from many 1‘ sections are encouraging. The stee: industry reports increasing activity | owing to war orders, and the larger establishménté are now running at dbout 90 per cent. of their capacity, or abent 50 per cént. miore than at | wegian port When You're Coatless do you feel that collar, cra- vat, shirt and belt proclaim you a man of good judg- ment?

Gross earnings are not making as good a showing as antici- pated, but the results in net often show encouraging gains, and the Wweakest spots in the rairoad situa- tion appear to have been pretty thor- oughly discounted. Crops are some- what backward owing to prevalent cool weather, but a few weeks of higher temperature would quickly compensate for this deficiency. The nation’s acreage is larger than usval | and the condition of most ¢rops, par- | ticularly wheat and cotton, is entirely satisfactory. R Mouney Market Busy. | The monev market is easy and | there is an abundance of funds ‘or good investments. The July disburse- ments were $270,000,000, or not quite as large as usual. The offerings ot new issues have been somewhat smal- ler. The output of new securities since January 1st was -about $763.. 000,000, and compares’ with $1,082- 000,000 a year ago. The June f{s- sues were on a particularly small scale being one-half of last year's fi- gures. On the other hand, new in- corporations in the principal States aggregated $230,000,000 or $105,009- 000 more than a year ago and the largest June on record. These figures at least suggests a rise in confidence. A good deal of current investment money is going into American secur- ities returned from abroad, very con- siderable sums in stocks and bonds having been taken back during ‘the past two weeks. In this way our b ternational debt is probably being reduced more rapidly than is recog- nized. Further selling on foreign ac- count is anticipated, which will tend to restrain gold imports; also to 2i- minish the recessary credits granted tc Europe. Now that the availpble supply of gold at Ottawa has beew practically exhausted. imports from France and Russia are among the possibilities. This security market s on a sound and promisng basis, but | the prospect of additional European liquidation prevents any importaut further enchancement of values just at this time.

T FINANCIAL NE SHOOTING SLIGHTLY | AFFECTS MARKET, Losses Wiped Out Upon Reassur-' ing Advices of Morgan's Gondition | New York, July 3.—Stocks were only temporarily depressed today on news of the shooting of J. P. Morgan. The market showed an uncertain tone at the outset, mainly as a result of renewed weakness in St. Paul. Uniced States Steel, which is regarded as a Morgan specialty, broke 1 1-4 pcints while the selling was at its heig’t, with losses of 1 to 2 points in other | industrials, including some of the war shares. Railroad stocks, partic- | ularly the Pacifice and grangers, had shown an early inclination to react in sympathy with 8t. Paul. Reassuring advices regarding Mr. Morgan's con- dition caused a general wiping out of losses. The closing was irregular. Bonds were easy, Wall St., 10:30 a. m.—Selling St Paul shares was resumed at outset of today's short session general irregularity elsewhere The first quotatiorn for St. Paul was at a slight decline over yesterday’s close, but increased pressure soon caused a drop of 2 14 to 82, from which it recovered tc 83 1-2. *“Soo” shares were off 2 points.
