Chllds. peneral manager of the New-York, Ontario ani Western Kallroad. His testimony occupied the en tire morning session, and the afternoon session was filled » til the evident of Frederick K. Saw gr4. eflltor <¦* "The Coal Trade Journal.*" The pur pose of the pub-committee is to probe The recent fomWr.ations between lallrrtadß entering .ie an thracite rejrlnn of Pennsylvania. Mr. Pa ward paid the annual consumption of anthracite coal in this elty was «r.out IO.w*MM tons. The coal was mostly bought by railroad companies at the- collieries, but some of the coal on the market in this rity was famished by Independent operators LITTLE TRADE for INDEPENDENTS Q— you know how much of the rosl sold in this city com<-s from Independent dealers? A— l do r.ot. . —It Is a very small proportion. Is it not? A.— fit course. Necessarily It must be a very small proportion, when one- fifth of the coal properties ire owned by railronds. For the last thirty years it has been practically Impossible for Independent operators to enter Jnt-> sucoftSfful competition with the Isrpe coal companies. In The soft coal regions • the smay of the railroad? Is even more complete than in the anthracite regions, q— it it not true that when anthracite goes tip In price thl» Is an invitation to soft conl men to enter such market? A.— Hardly. Soft coal coull not be generally used— in houses, for instance. Q— But is It not true that it was proposed to use •oft coal in this city during the late j«Tr!k»>* a — Jt was used, and is used now. A very large quan tity of soft cohl Is consumed In this city. There Is no reason why soft coal cannot be used m-ithout creating a emoke nutsar.ee. The city ordinance Is not directed against •he coal. hut against the smoke. There can scarcely be any talk nf compe tition between anthracite and bituminous coal, their use Is jo different. Q .— What is the production of anthracite coal? < A —About f!x:y million tons ann'islly. Q.— And what Is trm consumption? A — From the Indications of the n"t three p-0.-'i « the whole nut rut is consumed. Tnere is no stock of anthracite ccni ro-day. KNOWS OF NO COAL, TRYST. Q.— ls M not true that there is a combine between the railroads running Into the anthraeit* regions? A.— lt is a fact that m good many of the directors on son of the railroads are members of the boards nf directors of other roads also, as well as of the coal companl*-!", but I know of no coal truft. U— Will you designate some of these roads? Is It not a fact that the I^ehljrh, the Erie, the Reading and the Central Railroad of New-Jersey are more closely connected than the others? A. —Yes, that t* fiihstantially right. Their Interests are known to be practically Identical. Q —Is it not a fact that what they tried to An in I*S3 through a lease- they actually accomplished In I ISOI through purchase? A.— Well, those interested I tn the attempt rf 1*33 have Increased their hold ings ever since, until they are In control. If one ha* sufficient Mock In a road, you know, ore 1 r™ r tl'-al]y owns It. That Is plain. The witness admitted agreements between the eonl companies to limit production several times during the last thirty years. He was asked If the PenFfjrtrfrila Coal Company had ever been a party tf. such agreement said. "No." Cf.— Why? A.— Because the Pennsylvania Coal 1 nmpany 1? a free Ir.nce. Q.— A free lance— against what? A.— We.!, against 'h> others. -Oh. then, there is a eombtre? A.— Well, there have been agreements to keep down production at <l;fTerent tSnus. I don't lotuw ..i wy such agree ment nt pre^ent. however. • Q — Hor c!d you account for the uniform price If ?here Is no combine? A.— (Smiling,) Well, I suppose it might he hypnotism. 'Dietlm** the telephone may be urn Arree-ments by wireless methods he*» hollow all agreements written and plgned. Q —Why. A - Well. Ikvium, there Is no vMM» record of 'Vie agreement. Q— I^o you mean that such an agreement would he a damaging agreement to those who made it? A —l do rot know. Q-WhHt would you call such an understanding - ¦ community of interest or a conspiracy to restrain tratie? A.— Well, it might be construed in many ways. There are a good many lawyers in <"ongreti». •) - In your opinion. Mr tviwurn. if no such agree ment f x'ftcri. would not coal he cheaper? A. — (Em phatically) I.'t me tell you that it would be the greatest misfortune that could befall the coal In terei-ts. the Stute of Pennsylvania and th* rail roads Involved. You know the Reading road has been !n a receiver's hands five or fix time- within my recollection. t" - Would sou rj>re to state whether the interests cf the public would be subserved by the so-called community «>f interests? A.— You can put me on record »:« saying that the Interests of the public would be better preserved with than without the community. The witness when questioned closely admitted t»;at Rpreementti had been entered Into by coal c-.mpanifs to stop production for a time In order tn advance thi price, but the agreements peldorn hud »>ern strictly lived up to by the contracting rartir*. The - ring was then adjourned until »«-<!»> at i";W a m., when on independent operator !* expected to be the first witness. In the examination of Mr <"hilds. '.n the morning hes.Mnn. the witness said that along his line about It per rent of the coal shippers were Independent '¦r>eriiori». Q —Is !t true that the prices of anthracite coal fire settled by agreement \Ae«n the operators and 1 hi- railroads? A— There If no *uch agreement. Q.—li Is r.ot true that ihe anthracite companies «re trvlrig to get a controlling interest In the litumino'.is region? A.— l do rot know.

Kennedy, charge.l with the murder of "Dolly" Reynolds, was dis closed yesterday by the defendants counsel. W. W. • 'ant well, in his address to the Jury after the prosecution had rested Its case. It will he mainly an alibi Mr. Cantwell said: We Intend to establish to a legal and moral cer tainty tnat this man i* not the slayer of •'Dolly" Reynold*, so that again he can resume his place with a good name In his community at New-Dorp. Now. it ts a rule of criminal law that a man's reputation may always he taken Into consideration in a case of this kind. This young: man lived in a small villa*?*, where his every act was watched, and where he bore a spc-t'.esi" reputation. We will prove this by George Cromwell, president of the Borough of Richmond; the Rev. Thomas Vocum. pastor of Ft. Andrew's Church, and by many oth er*. This »as a crime which no man of .-duration and refinement could commit. It Is claimed that the defendant was at the Grand Hotel on the night of the murder. We will show you that he was never at the Grand Hotel. When he left his office he went to Proctor's Theatre and later took the U X ferryboat home He was seen on that boat by Mrs. BUtyton who Is now dead, hut whose testi mony will he read here. Me missed his train home at St. Gr-orge. hut met a Mr. Burns, a market man. going to New-York, on the way borne He reached home, and at 3 o'clock that morning his dear mother, always anxious for him. entered his room and threw a comforter over him. I'ndoubtedly the man who was with "Dolly" Reynolds resembled the defendant, but we have a man w-h«» can prove thnt it was not Kennedy whe drove with "Dolly" Reynolds thnt night. Thrn there is the Ti >*tir>'i of motive It Is claimed that the crime wms committed in order I* obtain the "Dolly" IleynoMs check. We will shorn thut there was another not ire but It was on th* part of another man. We c ill show a motive that does not a; • - r so weak. We will show that one who was very close m her. who was keeping "Dolly " Reynolds. >;a1 a real motive, whl^h direct? suspicion else»here. We will »ho« that Mr. Carry and Mr Smith searched the house twice and found nothing, and on the d*y when the%- claim they did find lead pip* they »isl*ed the plumber. Melville. That very day Melville missed » piece of pipe. Mr. Mclntyre. at the close of this speech, moved that, is the defence wss ,^n alibi, the witnesses not on the stand lie excluded from the court.

Q— Vourig man. are you aware that the crime was not discovered until T» o'clock on the morning of August 1- " A. — Well. I must have read about I' later, then. Alfred J. Wagner then took th» stand. He If. a hack driver. ' I was at ft George." said he "when the 11:25 o'clock boat arrived. I saw th* defendant com* off the ferry." Q.— Did you observe heir he was dressed* A. — In black, and he had a derby hat. Q.— What was his con<sltl->n? A —It appeared to me he was full. Hy Mr Mclntyre— You kiew Kennedy was ar raigned for murder on August Z<*. did you not? A— Yes. sir Q.— Din you go then and mv that you saw Mm ¦ret off the ferry? A.— No. sir. — Atid you knew later that he was tried at this bar. Did you come and testify -'i- A - No. sir; 1 did not. The witness »aid that he ,d not offered to testify before because he had not realized the value of his testimony. Thomas J. Finley was put upon the stand He Is a cab driver. He said he saw th* prisoner about 12:43 o'clock on the morning of the lf.th coming off the ferry from New- York. Q.— How — the defendant dressed? A.-Th« foliar cf his .oat was potted tjp around his neck, rand he had on a Mack derby hal He s^.-m*d to be under the 'nfluence of liquor. By Mr. Mclntyre— Tow didn't testify In the former trial, did you? A.— No. sir. Q.— You knew he was charged with murder. though? A.— Yes. sir. Q.— Why didn't you testify before? a —Because I didn't want to lose s-« much time or g- Into trouble. Edward Burns was then put on the stand He said he was a produce dealer, and came to New- York early every morning. After he left his house en the morr.tr.g after the murder he started at once for the ferry at Clifton. While watering his horses on the road a man spoke to him. Q.~ T)l<i you know the man.
