MAY BE WANTED HERE '? Walter SI. t.rlffln I nder Arrest lu Nor follc on firnnd l.nrrrny CbarKe. , A telegram woe received at police j headquarters yesterday afternoon ask? J Iiik IT Walter M. Griffin, now under i arrest in Norfolk, was wanted In this city. In Norfolk Griffin is ciiarged with steal'ng $2.-"00 from the Norfolk N'a tloiittl Hank. He Is also charged with l&rceiiy eoinmitted in Dalttmore, New? port News and Suffolk. It was stated yesterday that he U ulso wanted here An Oppressive Trust. Before the Coffee Routers' Association, fan sea ?ion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas J. Webb, ef Chicago, charged that there bj in existence a coffee combine which is "the 'moat monstrous position in the history of human commerce." There is very slight exaggeration about this statement. It comes very cloee to being literally true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from which country comes the balk of the coffee used in the United States, which is backed by the gov? ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which com pels American consumers, as Mr. Webb said, "to pay famine prices for coffee when no famine exists." The worst thing about this is that the cone tim? ers of the United States have been compelled to put up the money through which this combine, ?o further cinch them, haa been made effective. There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes were denounced as an imposition upon the people; as taxing the poor man's breakfast table, and the like. The taxes were removed. Immediately thereafter Brazil imposed an[ export duty eoffee up to the full amount of tne former customs taxes m this country. The revenue which for? merly went into the treasury of the United States was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor man's breakfast coffee continued to cost him the same old price. But this was only the commencement. The "valorization" plan was evolved In BrazlL Through this plan the government, using the rev? enues derived from the export duties for the pur? poses, takes all of the surplus crop in a season of large yields and holds it off the market, thus keeping the supply down to the demands of the market and permitting the planters to receive a much higher price than they would otherwise have done. The United States exmsirmes more Brazil iah eof? fee than does the rest of the world. We are the best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little from us. Now Brar.il la promoting, financing and maintaining a trust designed, and working effect? ively for the purpose, to compel American con sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the "coffee they use. What is the remedy??Statt!? Pott-Ic tcMat*t*r?Xo*. 19,1911. r Standard statistics of the eoffee trade show a faffing off in atlas during the last two years of over two hundred million pounds. Authenticated reporta from the Postum facto ties in this city show a tremendous increase in the sale of Post era in a like period of time. While the sales of Postum invariably abow marked increase year over year, the extraordinary demand for that well known breakfast beverage during 1011 is very likely due to a public awakening to the oppression of the coffee trust. Such an awakening naturally disposes the multitude who suffer from toe ill effects of coffee drinking to be more re? ceptive to knowledge of harm which so often cornea as a result of the use of the drug-beverage, coffee.?Battit Creek Ersninp NctD4?Dtc. 19/1911. is a pure food-drink made of the field grains, with a pleasing flavour not unlike high grade Java. 1 4 Economy to one s purse is not the main reason for using Postum. It is absolutely free from any harmful substance, such as "caf? feine" (the drug in coffee), to which so much of the nervousness, biliousness and indigestion of to-day are due. Thousands of former coffee drinkers now use Postum because they know from experience the harm that coffee drinking causes.

Cnlrago, January 8.?A letter show Ins a.lcged collusion between Swift & Co. and Armour & Co. In bidding for the annual meat contract or the Old Soldiers' Home at Togu?, Mc.. Novem? ber 8, 1905. was Introduced in evidence to-day by the government in the trial j of the ten Chicago packers charged With criminal violation of the Sher? man law. The letter was received by Jerome H. Pratt, former assistant manager of Armour & Co.'s dressed meat depart- j merit, und was signed with the Initials ) "P. A. P.," which Pratt said Indicated , it was written by Franrls A. Fowler, I one' of the defendants In the case and j head of the dressed meat department of Swift & Co. The letter read: "J. H. P.: Please bid ov:r beef, T 3-1: I mutton. !> 1-2; Torus Home. You have had for a year.?F. A. F." The witness was shown summaries of shipments and margin? sent him hy Arthur "Meeker in 1003, and asked what the figures conveyed to h'.m. An objection was sustained. Ivatsr the witness wai> permitted to answer the question in another form, and said the figures were the ship? ments and margins of Armour, Swift, Morris and the "National Packing Com? pany. "Did \ on make any use of the Na? tional packing Company figures';" "Vef. we ktp: track of the!:- ship- ] ments to sie that they did not exceed the'lr percentage to different points." ; replied Mr, Pratt. The witness said he often spoke to Mr. Meeker shout the National Pack? ing Company's overshlpping into cer? tain markets. The margin? wc.-o entered on the weekly reports?Armour, first: Nation? al Packing Company, tsecond: Morris, third, and Swift, last. Every question put by District At? torney Wllkcrson to have the witness explain the significance of the percent age und margin figures alleged to Have been written by J. Ogden Armour, Thomas J; Connor.-! and Arthur Meeker, wus met with a volley of objections, nearly all of which were sustained. I District Attorn y VVllkbrson persist cd, and finally the witness was per-' mittcd to explain the meaning of "plus-. ' "minus," test cost" and ?'average mar? gin." and other technical terms used by the packers. lie declared the word "margin" as used signified the average price to be charged. Many letters woro Introduced te show the close relationship of tlu packers' combination, but Judge Car? penter declined it permit the witness to stute what he thought the lettcri meant. One of the loiters related to shipments to?Catsklll, n. Y.. and bore a notation in pencil reading: "Is this nut neutral territory*'' which Hie witness sold was iri the handwrit? ing of Thomas J. Connors. Pratt said his understanding ol "neutral" territory was where two or more packers shipped to tho aamo point. "You cannot prove by tills Witness what any of these defendants meant by the uee of certain words, because this witness may place an entirely dif? ferent construction than that Intend? ed by the writer," said Judge Carpen? ter. ? At this point court adjourned until to-inorrow morning. FEDERAL OFFICES INSPECTS BLUES All Military Property Counted,; and Men Are Put Through test.
