ASKS COURT TO DESTROY "ILLEGAL" COMBINATION PHILADELPHIA, March 1. Jas. C.

Mr. McReynolds pointed out that tho agreement by which the independents sold nil of their output to tho roads at G; per cent below the price it brought in New York was forced upon the independents, the ronds being in n position to discrim inate against them in the hauling of their coal. Tho roads, ho said, had put jt out of the power of the inde pendents to carry on competition through which tho publics would bene fit. He asked tho court to destroy the "illegal" combination. Frank Piatt, for tho Lehigh, whose argument Mr. McReynolds nnsvvored, asserted that the situation was inevit able and logical and to the benefit of consumers nnd producers. Tho pres ent contract between the roads and the independents wns tho natural out growth of conditions in teh transpor tation and marketing of coal, ho said. Tho arguments will be finished to morrow.

PARIS, .March I.- -Hum President Annum! l-'nllloruw of Prance boon stricken with tho sleeping sickness? Is tlu iiut'Htlou being nuked hero to day, nnd rumors persist tn tho offect tliHt Ills resignation Is Imminent. It has Just become known that tho French ehlof executive lias moro than once gone, to sluep while presiding over u cabinet meeting of tho ut most Importance, and friends had to wnko him gently and unobtrusively. He wns elected for seven years, and of this term ho has served about half. Ho is almost as much n pris oner In tho Klyseo palace as certain orient potentates nro In theirs. Until recently lie took dally walks In order to reduce his growing avoir dupois, until the cafe waiter Mathls attacked It I in near tho Cafo Trl umphe. pulling his whiskers. Slnco then ho has abandoned tho exorcise. This Incident alone, howevor, was not the cnuse of his shutting himself In. Ho can scarcely leave the palace, surrounded by a czar's escort, with out a demonstration by Camlots du Rol (royalists) making things very disagreeable. In spite of official denials, the president's health Is very poor and his friends nre fearful of grave con sequences unless comploto repose is hnd soon. In case of n resignation It Is not expected before tho May elec tions, perhaps not before fall. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. i ii W. A. Klnsey to John P.
