BRITAIN s WAR
PLEASES EUROPE
Powers Have No Desire
for Attempt at In
tervention.
United States Not Likely to
Intercede for the
Beers.
Special Dispatch to The call.

CALL BUREAU, 14C6 G STREET, N.
w. WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Despite the
apparent desire of the powers of con-
should intervene to stop the war in South
press the opinion that those governments
really prefer its continuance.
This belief is based upon the fact that
the prolongation of the struggle weakens
Great Britain and makes the European
nations relatively stronger. 1t is true that
unofficial suggestions have been advanced
to the United States to interfere. but
these suggestions have always been met
with the response that the scene of the
war is 5000 miles away from this country
and there is no excuse for Intervention
Great Britain has been extremely
friendly to the United States. She has
without hesitation granted important con-
cessions, notably in the matter of the
isthmian canal treaty. and she has
arisen in connection with the South
African war.
The latest case to which her attention
has been called is that of Lemon Porter,
an American boy, who is serving in the
British army. Young Porter's father
claimed that ne had been employed as a
muleteer on vessel transporting British
mules TO South Africa ana that he was
practically forced to enlist in the British
army. An investigation made by the
State Department established that no
pressure was applied to young Porter and
that he enlisted of his own free will. 1t
is emphatically denied that Great Britain
try. The British Government is now in
qufring into the case of Porter. He will
probably be discharged from the British
army and returned to his parents.

HOLDS IT A. VIOLATION
OF LAWS OF MONTANA
Governor Toole Makes a Statement
About the Northern Securities
Companv Plan

HELENA, Mont, Nov. Ex-Governor
Toole to-day replied to the request of
Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota for his
views on the absorption of the stock of
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
Burlington railways by the Northern Sc
curities Company. Governor Toole says
that according to the Interpretation of
Governor Van SAINT of the objects of the
Securities Company the absorption is a
plain violation of the constitution and
laws of Montana. He says he does not
now know what legal means can be taken
to defeat the objects of the consolidation,
but whatever they are they will be
brought into operation.
The Governor says the constitution of
Montana plainly forbids just what the at
torneys of the Northern Securities Com
pany have accomplished. He intimates
that the company is trying to do indi-
rectly what it could not under the Mon
tana law do directly, and he says that
while the plan appears to be a successful
evasion of the law, it shall not be so taken
until the court of last resort has passed
upon the question. He promises the ac-
tive aid of the Attorney General of the
State and says that later he will fix a
date for meeting and comforting with Gov
ernor Van SAINT.

CHIEF HODGk|NS
CHARGES FRAUD
Accuses Pound Officials
Of Looting the City
Treasury.

OAKLAND, Nov. 26-According to the
report made by Chief of Police Hodgkins
to-day to City Clerk Church, Poundmas-
ter Swift and his deputies have been for
some time past successfully operating Ii
scheme for looting the city treasury by
means of false returns.
The law allows the poundmaster 81 50 a
head for all dead pigs picked UP within
the city limits. The average harvest
prior to Poundmaster Swift's incumbency
was about fifty pigs per annum. In 1900,
however, the pound received 81 80 a head
for 349 dead pigs removed from the streets
and this year up to November IL the total
is 87S.
Police Investigations, which are borne
out by the confession of Deputy Pound
master Frank McClelland, show that the
pound officials have been collecting infant
pigs in all directions, drawing largely on
the refuse of various slaughter houses.
The crop was at times too large for the
market and the police report tells how
the surplus was stored in pickle and
drawn on from time to time to keep ND
with the financial requirements of the
pound management.
The City Council will take action on the
report at its next meeting.

POSTUM CEREAL.
COFFEE IMPORTER
Tells Some Plain Facts.

One OF the heaviest importers Of coffee
in America and who requests that his
name be kept from the public in connec-
ton with the following subject because OF
the effect it would have on his business,
says: Il have used coffee for over thirty-five
years, but about year ago was compelled
TO discontinue its use on account Of its
effect on my health Since that time
have used nothing in its place but Postum
Cereal Food Coffee. and properly pre-
pared it is simply delicious with cream
and sugar.
In connection with this I have also
used Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food While
in Florida this winter I carried pack
age with me all the time, so if I was un-
able to get what I wanted for breakfast
I could rely on my own supply.
ANY one who could have known Of my
condition a year ago, and the very great
Improvement now, would have no cause
TO question the wisdom Of my change
from the old-fashioned diet to the pres
ent"
This man is one Of the best known cof-
fee experts in the world and his testimony
regarding the flavor of Postum Cereal
Food Coffee is noteworthy.
Now and then a person gets Postum
Food Coffee served under-boiled and con-
seouently almost tasteless. chemical
change takes place in Postum after it has
been actively boiled for twelve or fifteen
minutes; this change brings out the food
value and the delicious taste. 1t does not
answer to simply leave it on the stove for
fifteen minutes, 1t must stand on the stove
until boiling commences, then be allowed
10 bubble fifteen minutes.
A piece Of butter twice the size Of a pea
should be put in the pot to keep 1t from
boiling over.
Many a man or woman continues In a
half sick state from month to month, not
knowing that the drug in the coffee they
use is the cause; try leaving off coffee and
using Postum Food Coffee. That change
has worked salvation for many skeptical
sick ones.
