FOUND TIES ON TRACKe The Two Men Taken in Charge by Conductor and Turned Oyer. to Hart- ford Police as Suspects. Meriden, Conn., Nov. 3.—As the pas- senger train over the New York, New Haven, & Hartford railroad, which left here at 5.40 this afternoon, was approaching the northern outskirts of the city, it was flagged by two mulat- toes, who sgid that there was a pile of ties tied to the track and that they had stopped the train to prevent a wreck. Questioned by the Conductor. The men were taken in charge by the conductor, who questioned them, and in their answers denied that they had placed the ties upon the tracks. The conductor took them to Hartford, where, on advice of the New Haven office, they were held by the police of that city. Believed to Be Burglars. The local police also asked that they be held and returned to this city, as they were of the opinion that they were the two men who this morning entered a small grocery store here, conducted by a Polish woman, and at the point of a revolver held her up and made her give them what money she had and took some of the mer- chandise, including cigarettes. ° The conductor of the train says he thought the men placed the ties on the track and signalled the train with the hope that they would be given a ride to their destination, wherever that might be. The men said they were :\'alking the track and discovered the ies. Confessed to Hartford Police. Hartford, Nov. 3.—The two men who signalled a passenger train as it was going out of Meriden tonight. and who were brought here by the conductor of the train, confessed to the local police that they had placed the ties on the track and that they had held up the woman in the Meriden grocery store. They said that their names were Hen- ry Perry, 19 years old, and Emmett Johnson, 20 years old, of Brooklyn, N. Y., and that they were on their way to Springfield, Mass. They en- tered and held up Mrs. Anna Nozen- ski in her store on Mechanic street. Meriden, they said, because they were hungry and had to have something to eat. They placed the ties on the track, they said, not because they wanted to wreck the train, but did it thinking that they would get a ride to Spring- field and perhaps a reward. Prisoners Returned to Meriden. The first intimation that they might be connected with the holding up of Mrs. Nozenski came at Berlin Junc- tion, where a Meriden detective board- ed the train and on learning of the stopping of the train by the two youths suspected that they were the ones who made the holdup. They were re- turned to Meriden tonight FRANK J. GOULD MARRIED IN SCOTLAND On October 29, to Miss Edith J. Kelly of New York. ¥dinburgh, Nov. 3.—According to The Scotsman, Frank J.

COMPLAINT TO THE INTERSTATE _ COMMERCE COMMISSION. ALLEGED EXCESS CHARGES Marian Coal Co. of Delaware Demands _Reparation in the Sum of $55,239— Remarkable Allegation. ‘Washington, Nov. 3.—A sweeping denunciation of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western Railroad compan. in which it is charged with repeatedly attempting to drive a competing com- pany out of business, and an arraign- ment of the so-called “anthracite coal trust,” are contained in a complaint flled with the interstate commerce commission today by the Marian Coal company of Wilmington, Del. Repara- tion in the sum of $55239 because of alleged excess charges is demanded. ‘Remarkable Seri of Business Har- rassments. The statement sets forth allegations of one of the most remarkable series of busiless harrassments ever figuring before the commission. It not only at- tacks the alleged unjust and discrim inate rates to which the Marian com- pany has been subjected as “based on a monopoly maintained through the device of the Temple Iron company,” the directors of which are the presi- dents of the railroads constituting the m':.gne coal trust, but charges at- te: d dictation of production, inter- fereNge with prospective purchasers of the plant, diversion of water supply and heaping of fuel on a fire that threatened destruction to the Marlan company's washery at Taylor, Pa. Alleged Favorite Competitors. The Marian washery is on a Lacka- wanna division switch, which alse serves three collieries alleged to be- long 1o the Lackawanna interests. The complaint sets forth various acts preventing equality of conditions as between the Marian and alleged favor- ed competitors, “who constitute the trust. Among the things charged is: “That in 1906 the Lackawanna, when notified that a fire on its culm bank threatened destruction to Marian prop- erty, not only sent word to the Marian management that as it was on the Lackawanna's land ‘it was nobody's business,’ but deliberately dumpad fuel on the fire, causing destruction of 75.- 000 tons of the Marian's valuable m terial and costing $7,000 expended in saving the Marian’s culm bank from destruction.” KENTUCKY RAILROAD CASE IN CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.
