Attorney General Announces Plan
to Push Coffee Trust
Suits.
b
Attorney General Wickersham today
denied that there had been a split be
tween the Department of Justice and
ithe Department of State because the
former had brought suit against the
'"Coffee trust."
The Attorney General Bays he will
pursue the matter In the courts.
Regarding the attack of the Brazilian
ambassador, Senor da Gama, on the
United States for bringing the suit.
Iwhlch will seriously affect the South
.American republic's export trade in
coffee, it was learned at the State De
partment today that no official notice,
will be taken of the incident by Sec
retary Knox.
Officials here are of the opinion that
Senor da Gama's attack on this Gov
ernment was undoubtedly made for
home consumpUon, especially among
Brazilians Interested in the coffee in
dustry. Protest Against Stable.
Protest against the renewal of a
license for a cow stable at Quincy street
and Cedar road was received by the
District Commissioners yesterday from
Jnmes S. Wyckoff, 137S, and E. W. Ful

YORK
' RAMWED BY LINER
Collision in Clear Weather
Within View of Broad
way Skyscrapers.
NEW YORK, May J9.-The Porto Rl
can liner Berwind, outward bound to
day, rammed the French line steamship
Hudson, coming in from Bordeaux;
about a mllo off Sixty-ninth street,
Brooklyn, tearing a big hole In the port
bow of the Hudson.
Klghty-one persons, many of them wo
men, were on board the Hudson, and
were thrown into a panic when the
crash came. They rushed upon deck in
scant attire and It was with difficulty
that members of the crew restrained
some from leaping overboard.
Meantime Capt. G. David had pointed
the Hudson's nose toward the Long
Island railroad docks at the foot of
Sixty-fifth street, Brooklyn, and was
proceeding ahead at full speed. He did
not know what damage had been done
to the Hudson, and was taking no
chances of having her sink.
A strange feature of the collision,
which will be Investigated, is that it -occurred
in clear weather, and that Cap
tain David saw the Berwind when she
as some dltsance away. He believes that
Captain Christopher of the Berwind mis-
unuersiooa nis signal, or obeyed It too
late.
Part of the bow of the Berwind was
torn away when she struck the Hudson.
She turned about and made for the
docks of the Now York and Porto Rico
Steamship Company, which owns her.
Tho Hudson has just dec red quaran
tine, and was making for :ier 84, in the
North River, when Captain David saw
the Berwind oft his port bow.
He signalled to her to keep on the port
bow of his boat. He thinks Captain
Cristopher understood the signal to
mean that ho was to bear to starboard
for this Is what he did.
Then occurred the strange spectacle
of one ocean liner bearing straight down
upon another In clear weather, within
sight of New York's sky scrapers.

Mayor. Heads Delegation to
Support O'Gorman Bill '
Before Senate.
Before the Senate committee on Pub
Ho Buildings and Grounds today. Mayor
Qaynor. of New York; W. R. Wlllcox,
former postmaster of New York and
now of tho Public Service Commission,
nnd President George McAneny of the
'Borough of Manhattan, appeared as a
New York delegation to urge the O'Gor
man bill for the appropriation of 15,000,000
to acquire a site or sites for a post
office and federal building in New York
city.
Senator O'Gorman presented the mem
bers of the delegation and urged the
bill In a brief speech.
Mayor Gaynor gave the bill his warm
support Tind discussed the necessity for
the appropriation.
Mr. Wlllcox said the present postofflce
was never adapted to its uses. He said
the federal building and postofflce
should be separate and suggested that
the erectlop "t a new postofflce would
do away with the necessity of the Wall
street and Hudson terminal stations,
and that a new building erected In the
district south of the present postofflce
and west of Broadway would greatly
facilitate the handling of malls in New
York.

INDIANAPOLIS
Experts Believe Slippery
Track Will Cause Trouble,
for Speed Kings.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 29.-That
death will take Its toll from sport to
morrow when the giant racing cars
entered for the 600 mile races here
pound their way around the Motor
Speedway Is the belief of automobile
experts who are here to watch the
race. That it may mean the finish of
big automobile race events was the pre
diction of some.
The track is slippery from recent
rains. Even a Blight shower between
now and the time for the opening of the
race would keep It in this condition.
The cars racing this year are large
and faster than any ever .before en
tered. The time made In the elimina
tion trlajs indicates that the big cars
will maintain a speed never before
dreamed of in such an event. Twenty
flve cars with the most daring drivers
in tho country will compete.
All these things, say the motor ex
perts, threaten many accidents before
the race is over.
Absolutely No Strife.
