THE SHIPPING COMBINE
Morgan's Absence From London Delays Some
Important Developments.
(By the Associated Press.)


London, June 21.-If. ]. P. Morgan had
not been unexpectedly absent in the
Mediterranean this week would have
been marked by important developments
in the final stages of the Atlantic ship
ping combine. All the heads of the com
panies, including Bernard N. Baker,
President of the Atlantic Transport Line
who is now here, expected Mr.. Morgan
in London Friday, but he was unable to
come, and so the proposed meeting was
postponed
The Associated Press is informed that
everything is progressing satisfactorily,
and that it is likely that sweeping
changes and economies in working ex-
penses will soon be put in operation.
Mr.. Baker said:
"As to the rival all British combine, l
can only say that we welcome it. The
Atlantic is big enough for us all. If they
think they can do better by combining
they would be foolish if they did not"
From other sources the Associated
Press learns that the offers made by Sir
christopher Furness and Sir Alfred l..
Jones, head of the firm of Elder Demp-
ster & Company, to the Cunard Royal
Mail and other lines and which have
been considered by them entirely depend
on what subsidies the promoters of the
British combine can secure from Sii
Wilfrid Laurier the premier of Canada;
Edmund Barton, the Australian prime
minister and the imperial government,
the basis of the suggested new amalga-
nation consisting largely in increased
subsidies from the British and Canadian
Governments and new arrangements with
Australia. Unless there are granted the
lines approached will not agree to ANAL
=, gamate.

HIS EYES DANCE.
When His Good Drink Comes

A coffee that will nourish and furnish
all the food required to rear a baby is
evidently easy food for an adult to digest
and is especially applicable where ordi-
nary coffee does not agree.
The wife of a Congregational minister
gives an experiences: 1T is rather curl
GUS the manner in which 1 came to
adopt Postum for my baby. My husband
used to be troubled greatly with bilious
headaches and extreme nervousness.
This was about five years ago. We con-
cluded that coffee and tea were the cause
of his troubles and so gave Postum Food
Coffee a trial. At first We did not like
it because itswas not boiled long enough
and seemed weak and tasteless but after
preparing it properly, and that is easy.
we became very fond of it, ard now can
honestly say we prefer it to any coffee
or tea.
The old headaches and nervousness
nave disappeared and we beth enjoy
very much better health
When one of our children was a year
old he would not drink milk so we tried
him on Postum Coffee, and from the first
he liked it and it agreed with him per-
fectly. so Postum has been his drink
now for over four years
about ten months ago a baby boy
came to our house. | was, Iof course,
anxious to have good nourishment for
him and SO drank from five to eight cups
of Postum during the day. This with a
little Grape Nuts Food each day was all
the nourishment l took. and although
the baby weighed only five pounds at
birth he weighed twelve and onc-half
pounds at three months and at four
months fifteen pounds. Now he weighs
twenty three pounds.
About three weeks ago the little fell
low suddenly weaned himself much to our
surprise. l tried him on cows milk but
he would not have it, ] then tried a
certain baby food, then another but he
would have neither I felt very anxious
about him. but remembering expert
menting with another boy with Postum
gave him some which he drank with the
greatest relish. 1t agreed with him per.
fectly, so he lived on it for one week
Since then he has learned to eat a littlC
| other fod but he prefers Postum Coffee
| to anything else, and looks perfectly de-
| lighted when he sees me coming with it
| said the other morning, L wish thu
| Postum Company could see baby drinl
| their coffee, it would certainly pleas
! them 1t agrees with him so pcrfectl,
| that / shall continue to have him drinl
| it to his hearts content. l don't like
! to have my name printed, but you cal
say | am a Cong. Pastors Wife Name

A COAL LAND
SWINDLING SCHEME
An Individual Who Has Been Collecting
Good-Sized Fees for Making Coal De-
cIaratory Entries in the Santa
Fe Land Office.
FICTITIOUS TOWNSHIP AND RANGE NUM-
BERS WERE GIVEN BY The SWIHDLER

The Santa Fe land office has uncover
ed a clever swindling scheme that has
been worked on parties in Pennsylva-
mia, California, Minneapolis, Chicago
AMI other points by the same individual
who signs himself Daniel Van Wagen-
er. This man would go to those whom
he had picked out as victims, and
would explain to them, that valuable
coal lands in New Mexico, near Santa
Fe, could be had for filing upon them.
Those who would bite would pay him a
filing fee Of SIG or more. Wagner would
make out an application for a declara-
tory coal statement with a fictitious
township and range number and would
send it to the Santa Fe land office for
filing, asking that he be drawn upon
for the filing fee and stating that he
would be in Santa Fe in few days.
OF course, as he sent no power of at
torney and no fee and because the
townships named We're fictitious, no en-
try was made at the land office, but the
IIldIteI was iClClISu " eAie SSASi eei
land office. Since then letters of in
quiry have been coming in from every
part of the United States about these
entries. Special agents will be put to
work to ferret out the swindler. 1t is
not known by the local land officials
whether the scheme has been worked in
other land districts or how many peo-
pie have been heeced.
