Washington, Feb. 21.The sweeping decision of the United States supreme court in the case of coal-selling by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad company becomes more important as it is studied and reviewed by legal experts. It is now the opinion or eminent lawyers that it will hereafter prevent railroads from operating coal mines, if it does not actually prevent them from own ing such property.. It is conceded that the views ex pressed by Justice. White will prevent railroads from selling coal in competi tion With private shippers and naming a lower freight rate for their own product. The interstate' commerce commission has not yet fully determined the ex tent to which Justice White 's decision will afford a precedent. The members have agreed on the one point that rail roads cannot make a discriminatory rate in favor of their own coal. They have not reached a conclusion as to whether, under the decision, they, can begin prosecutions mgainst the railroads con trolling the output of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania. Can Beach Coal Trust. There is an inclination to the belief that such a precedent is established and that under it all combinations gov erning the coalfields can be successfully prosecuted, but no final conclusion has tlGGTJ. T6icll6cl If the opinion"of the supreme court had-stopped with the point at issue, and held that a railroad cannot make a freight rate in favor of its own product, the position of coal-owning roads would have continued compara tively safe. Justice White went fur ther and enunciated the general princi ple that when a railroad, pays itself the published tariff- on commodities on which it both a dealer and a common* carrier, it violates the spirit of the original interstate commerce act of 1887. s, This is construed.as.equivalent to de claring that a railroad cannot trans port commodities which, it owns, or which comes from .mines under its own ership. Under this construction, all the Pennsylvania anthracite roads would be compelled to abandon the business of mining and selling coal. The only comfort obtained by rail road attorneys in the decision of Justice White is the declaration that the point i of ownership was^ not involved in Ihe case under consideration, and a subse quent opinion on the precise point might be entirely different.- Bookkeeping us Evasion. This point is being giv en .careful con sideration by members of the interstate commerce commission. They are seek ing to determine, before bringing a large number of suits against roads handling both anthracite and bitumi nous coal, whether the decision can be evaded by bookkeeping. It might be possible,* bv taking money out of one pocket and putting it into another pocket to find some, plan for avoiding Culpability -undernhe court's findings. If bookkeeping cannot save the rail roads, it is held to, be certain that ithe present" system of .transacting business must be changed, jit once.

PATRICK A SGOT^ IRISHMEN FALL OUT Journal Special Service. Providence, K. I., Feb. 21.The com mittee from the Allied Irish societies in this city has decided not to hold the street procession, which has been a fea ture of the annual celebration of St. Patrick's day. The only reason as signed for this action, according to the committee, is that an argument arose during the session over the nationality of St. Patrick. One member, a man from Tipperary, said that the patron saint of' Ireland was a Scotchman and thereat a warm discussion developed his remarks about St. birt" were verified. The other members took issue and a warm verbal contest en sued. After the discussion of St. Patrick's place of nativity was brought to a con clusion, it was found that the debaters could not agree on any subject. The meeting finally adjourned after a vote had been taken which decided that no parade would be held. 1 the past. 1 $3.50 Waste Belts New Wash Belts, 10c to 59c each.
