Second Step Taken in Attack
On the Hard Coal Monopoly
Washington, Sept. 20. Another
step in the government's attempt to
dissolve the alleged anthracite coal
monopoly was taken today when the
Department of Justice filed its brief
in the supreme court, appealing from
the decision of a New York federal
court dismissing the anti-trust suit
against the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company, the Lehigh Valley Coal
Sales company and the Lehigh Val
ley Coal company.
The railroad company is charged
with monopolizing production, trans
portation and sale of anthracite coal
from mines along its lines and with
having attained this .command, trot
through "conspicuous efficiency," but
by acts wrongful and unlawful in
themselves.
The government asks that the dis
trict court be reversed and that the
railroad company be separated from
the coal companies.
Roumanian Officials Clean Bulgar

COVERS EIGHT DISTRICTS
Washington, Sept. 20. Nearly a
million people have been made home
less by on of the greatest floods on
record in that section of China where
the American Red Cross already has
spent $600,000 for flood protection
and where the $30,000,000 loan for
reclamation work which was post
poned by the war, was to have been
spent. Reports' to the State depart
ment today from the American con
sul at Nankin said the Hwai river had
inundated an area of about 7.000
square miles in Anhui province. Ap
peals for aid have been sent out. All
the autumn crops were destroyed.
Large Lake Dammed.
The flood occurred in an alluvial
section, where the north-to-south
passage of the Grand canal had
dammed a large lane ana anowea me
Hwai river too little space to carry
off the excess water. Today's delayed
advices described conditions several
weeks ago, but officials believe there
has been little improvement.
The State department issued the
following:
"The department has received from
the American consul at Nanking dis
patches giving detailed information
regarding recent extensive floods
along the Hwai river, m Anhui prov
ince. The inundation is equal to, if
not greater than, the one of 1909. An
area of some 2,000 square miles was
submerged under from three to fif
teen feet of water, and from July 11
to July 21 the waters reached such a
height as to submerge all except very
high ground in an area estimated at
7,000 square miles.
Ten Large Cities.
"The flood extended throughout
eight districts in northern Anhui.
There are ten cities of considerable
size in these eight, districts, with a
total - population estimated at from
800.000 to 1,000,000 people. The to
tal population of the flooded region is
approximately- 2,500,000 people.
"While it is thought that compara
tively few lives were lost, crops and
personal property have been de
stroyed and there are thousands of
destitute people, nearly all ot whom
are now objects of charity. The sup
ply of foodstuffs on hand will be in
adequate to feed the people and prac
tically all of the autumn crops it the
eight districts have been entirely de
stroyed. Appeals for relief have
come in from the various affected dis
tricts."
In the flood of 1909, -nearly one
million lives were lost., Soon after
ward C. D. Jameson, an American
engineer, was sent to China to work
out a reclamation system. In 1914
Colonel Siebert of the Panama canal
headed a Red Cross commission which
approved Jameson's plans, and the
Chinese government began arrange
ments for a $30,000,000 loan to put
them into effect. The European war,
however, made it impossible to raise

RUMOR CHIHUAHUA
IS.TAKENBY VILLA
Second Assault On City Said to
Have Been- Preceded by '
Mutiny of Garrison.
GARCIA DENIES THE REPORT
El Paso, Tex.; Sept. 20. A number
of rumors were current here today
that Chihuahua City was captured by
Villa in a second attack last night.
General Francisco Gonzales, com
mandant at Juarez, and Consul Gar
cia declared the reports were without
foundation. -
According to reports the attack was
preceded by mutiny of a large part
of the garrison. The bandits were
said to occupy the municipal and fed
eral palaces, the penitentiary and two
fortified hills.
Consul Garcia and General Gon
zales maintained that although wire
communication had been hampered
messages received early today indi
cated quiet in Chihuahua City.,
May Cut Communications,
San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 20. Belief
that l'.rancisco Villa will soon cut the
Carranza line of communications be
tween Chihuahua City and Juarez, if
he has not already done so, was sug
gested by Major General Funston to
day after he had a report on Villa's
Chihuahua engagement received from
Brigadier General Bell at F.I Paso.
Stories gathered by General Bell
from persons reaching El Paso from
the interior indicate that General Tre
vino's forces were driven out of Chi
huahua City in Villa's Saturday attack
and that they took station on a large
hill outside the city from necessity
and not from choice, as previous re
ports said. From this hill they suc
ceeded Wy the use of artillery m dis
lodging the Villistas. ,
Funston Withholds Details.
General Funston refused to give out
all details of the report for publica
tion, but he said that if confirms pre
vious accounts of the battle and in-1
dicated even more serious conditions
than were admitted by the Carran
zistas. General Bell report said that Vil
la's force last Saturday was estimated
at from 500 to 700 men. General Fun
ston believes that this force has
grown since the Chihuahua battle. He
said that in this case the logical step
for Villa to take would be the sever
ing of the line of communications be
tween Chihuahua and Juarez. This
would give him control of the Mexico
Northwestern railroad and, the gen
eral added, "the garrison to the north
would have to look out."
Flat Denial by Trevino.
Later, when wire communication
was restored to normal, General Gon
zales announced he had received a
message from General Jacinto Trevi
no, sent at 11 a. m., which said that
the border rumors were absolutely
without foundation, that work of
clearing the wreckage created in the
Hidalgo day attack was progressing
quietly and that all reports in the
state capital indicated that Villa's
band is still in the Sierre De La Silla,
near Santa Ysabcl.

ADAMSON LAW IS
BLOW TO ENTERPRISE
Mr. Hughes Says "Surrender
to Force" Will Lead to but
One End, Civil War.
SPEAKS IN WISCONSIN
Green Bay, Wis., Sept. 20. The
pathway of "surrender - to force,"
Charles E. Hughes told all audience
here today, in renewing his attack on
the administration' for the Adam son
law, leads to but one end, "civil war."
Mr.- Hughes referred to the action of
the administration at "unpardonable.
The nominee ; also declared that
nobody could embarrass him by talk-1
ing about Americanism,
"I am for the United States first,
last and all the time, without regard
to anyone or to anything else," he'
said,-' -.
"I speak 'with' added tmphsiii si
the friend of labor," Mr. Hughes, said
in- ditcuising . the .-. Adamson - law,
"when I say that the serious blow
delivered recently at labor and enter'
prise in this country was unpardona
ble, that blow being the surrender of
the principle of arbitration and the
.yielding of reason to force. -Means
Uncertain Future.'
"We look forward in this country
to a future very uncertain unless we
have peaceful settlement of griev
ances by a careful examination and
open-minded consideration of the
facts.
"When A does not agree with B
they are not allowed to fight it out
jn the public square. They have got
to come into a court of law and fight
it out there, not on the public square.
We have had times when railroad
companies refused absolutely to arbi
tration ot grievances. Hut we have
had public sentiment develop greatly
since that time. We have a new spirit
in this country, I firmly believe. All
we have to do is to stand firmly
for principle and we can get justice
done.
"The other way simply means the
rule of strength. There is only one
end to that path and that end is civil
war."
Mr. Hughes then went into detail as
to his views on the tariff. He spoke
from s platform on the court house
steps to an audience standing in the
yard. Afterwards he held a brief
public reception. '
Speeches at Other Points. .
In previous addresses today, at
Sheboygan and Manitowoc, where
large crows turned . out with brass
bands to greet him., the nominee
sketched his views on the issues of
the campaign. He also talked, on
Americanism. His audiences were
composed largely of persons of for

WEST FRONT NEARLY QUIET
Berlin, Sept. 20. (By Wirelest to
Sayville.) British and French losses
in the battle of the Somme have
reached about 500,000 men, the Over
seas News agency estimates.
"Recent local successes obtained by
theGritish on the Somme are her
alded by the English press as great
victories and even occasioned a spe
cial message from King George to the
cruisn commanacr, ucncrai oir ioug

lages ot riers, Martinpuicn ana sour

though it had been planned to take
them in the course of . four days of
battle.- '-"'- i'." -t-'u-
"Nevertheless, the British were en
abled to piake this advance only af
ter eleven weeks of thq most des
perate efforts. The result of the bat
tle of the Somme should be gauged
by considering the amount of French
and Belgian territory occupied bv the
Germans, which amounts in all to
about 50,000 square kilometers. Of
this 29,000 is Belgian . and 21,000
rrench. lhe efforts made by the
French and British have resulted in
the recoilquest of only 1,500 square
kilometers, or 3 per cent.
"The price paid for this territory
is appalling. According to a con
servative estimate the British lost
350,000 men up to September 15. This
together with the French losses brings
up tne total to about 500.0UU men.
Germans Take Trench.
Paris, Sept. 20. Determined at

In a hand grenade attack on the Brit

TWENTY MEN ARRESTED
New York, Sept. 20. Despite the
attempted intervention of a commit
tee of business men, there seemed to
be little prfespect today of averting a
general strike in sympathy with the
street railway employes.. Labor lead
ers aver that the proposed general
walk-out will involve about 700,000
workers in all trades.
All other efforts having thus far fail-.
ed, -fayor Mitchel decided today to
make a personal appeal to Theodore
Shontt, president of the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit company, and
the New York Street Rai'wsys to re-.,
cede from his reiterated intention of .
refusing to deal with the striker's.
Position of Mr. Shonts.
Mr. Shonts' position -necessary, the :
traction head says, because of a threat
to strike by Joyal employes in the
event of recognition of the unions
balked the attempt of the public ser
vice commission and s citizens' com
mittee to bring about an amicable ad
justment. '
Although there appeared little
hope of a change in the traction com
pany's policy, the mayor arranged for
a conference with Mr. Shonts later to
day. The mayor, it was learned irom
an official source, expects to propose
a new basis of settlement to avert the
impending general walkout. . ,
union .leaders have promised to
withhold their order for a sympathet
ic strike until after Thursday, and in
the meantime the city authorities and
business men will endeavor to find ,
some way to prevent an extension of
the labor war which threatens to tie
up s considerable part of the city's
industries, . ,
t Rioting Becomes . Serious. .
The attempt to operate- surface
cars last night resulted in the worst
rioting since the strike began, but
the officials of the -transit companies.'
say the service in the daytime is im- '
proving steadily. . Throughout the
night elevated trains, together with
subway trains at point:, where they
run on elevated structures, were sub
jected to almost ceaseless bombard
ments of bottles and bricks, car win
dows being shattered and a number
of passengers injured.
Today there were several attacks
by strikers and sympathisers on sur
face cars and police reserves were
repeatedly called out.
Ask Gompers to Conference.
With the arrival here today of '
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, to
attend the funeral of Seth Low, it was ,
learned that the business interests
which are endeavoring to avert a
sympathetic strike had invited Mr.
Gompers to attend their meeting with
labor, leaders tomorrow. It was in
dicated by the union men that. Mr.
Gompers planned1 to take more than..
ordinary interest in the situation. Mr.
Gompers herd his acceptance of the
invitation in abeyance pending talks
with union leaders.
Surface Cars Attacked. - ' .
During the forenoon attacks on
surface cars continued intermittently.
The. last twenty-four' hours have'
witnessed the most extended disturb
ances of the strike, police reports to
day showing the arrests of twenty'
men declared to be former emploves.
Fifteen of these are accused of felony
in attacks on trains and cars.
Two Car Barns Attacked. ',
New York, Sept'. 19. The most
serious rioting since the transit strike
in this city began two weeks ago oc
curred tonight In various sections of
Manhattan when attempts were made
to run cars on the Forty-second and :
