J of New York and to Congress undeniable proof that, not- withstanding President Baer's denial, a coal combination is manipulating the coal deliveries so as to exact of the metrop- olis a highwayman's tribute of $5 per ton. _ Coal—miles of it, is held on side tracks of the New Jersey Central (Reading Coal), Lackawanna and Erie roads—and delivered only in such quantities as not to affect the schedule of $10 a ton. The EVENING WORLD presents herewith a photograph taken to-day along the Jersey Central road showing eleven miles of coal-laden cars, many of which, as the picture shows, have not been disturbed since the last snowfall. On page 2 another photograph taken to-day shows tracks along the D., L. & W., near Secaucus, N. J., choked with cars and every one filled with coal. No attempt was made to-day to disturb a great stock. At Communipau hundreds of cars fill the tracks for three or four miles. A coal expert who looked over these thousands of coal- laden cars estimated that within a few hours run to.the docks on the Jersey side there were 250,000 tons of anthracite coal.

RIVERHEAD, L. 1, Jan. 14.—Anna +! ¥. Pearsatl, one of the most important witnesses against Louls Disbrow in his trial for the murder of “Dimple” Law- rence and Clarence Foster, has left the State. She was traced to Atlantic City by Deputy Sheriff William Rafford, who served her with a subpoena on Deo. 2. It ts reported she will not respond, al: ‘This report was strengthened by a statement mado by attorneys for the prosecution that much trouble was ex- perienced in inducing Miss Pearsall to eppear before the Grand Jury which indicted Disbrow. It was said that tne District-Attorney threatened to arrest Miss Pearsall unless ehe appeared before the Grand Jury, ‘Out of Court’s Jurisdiction. The story circulated at first about Miss Pearsall was that she had been in ‘own and had disappeared. As a matter of fact she never was in Riverhead, but has kept out of the jurisdiction of the Court, so that when Rafford saw her the subpoena was simply a notification, } and it was in her power to come to court or stay away, as she saw fit, Her non-appearance materially weakened the case for the people, Miss Pearsall was a boarder at the Middle House at the time Foster and “Miss Lawrence were there, and to the Grand Jury she said that the night and Was Crushed to Death by Rockaway Car.
