OF instructing school children as to

COCOA TRUST BEING FORMED.
Present Prices for the Commodity
Are Too Low-Production 340.-
100000 Pounds.

A world cocoa trust is being or
ganized in the countries producing
that article, according to a report
from Consul General Anderson, at
Rio de Janeiro. He says the move
ment is in progress in Brazil the larg
est producer that action has been
taken in Ecuador, San Domingo,
Trinidad and San Thomas, and that
the low price of cocoa has led to a
desire on the part of representatives
of Portugal and South America that
something be done TO project the in
dustry.
The chief occasion for the proposed
organization as announced by its pro-
meters in Brazil is the somewhat -
traordinary fluctuations in the price Of
cocoa in the last few years, the pres
ent great depreciation having caused
many complaints. The purpose, they
say is to resist the spectators by
controlling the price of the product
in the markets of the world Tire to-
tai production Of cocoa in the world
at large is generally placed at 340,-
600 900 pounds, of which the United
States consumes about one-hfth.

Legacy.

The Republican meeting held I
Rising Sun. was addressed by Col.
William T. Dowall on why In
tend to Vote Against Bryan" Mr.
is not going to support Bryan. He
brought up the subject OF the Philo F.
Bennett will case in which NJ Bryan
was interested. Mr.. Bennett was a Bry-
an lector from Connecticut in the
campaigns OF 1896 and 1900 and had
an estate of 100000 Mr. Dowdall
said Bryan's conduct in the Bennett
100000 will case is proof OF the fact
hat he (Bryan) wants to make mon
ey honestly if he can, but that he in
tends to make money. The speaker
said Mr.. Bryan induced Bennett to
visit him at his home after the cleo
ton of 1900 During the visit Mr. Bry-
an wrote Benefits will and Mrs. Bry-
an copied it on the typewriter. The
will gave Mrs. Bennett 100000. 1t
gave her $4,000 in trust. but said that
sealed letter inclosed in the will
would give particulars The will gave
Mr. Bryan $4,000 and Mrs. Bryan
$4,000 to- be distributed as they
thought proper. After Benefits death
the will was found. The sealed letter
mentioned was not there, but later
was found by Mr.. Bryan The will
gave $4,000 to Mr. Bryan or his heirs.
In conclusion Mr.. Dowdall said:
I'VE must not put crown on the
head of the farmer who never plow-
ed furrow, a soldier who never smelt

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Capt. Irving
p. Titus, fifty-four years OF age, life
long resident OF Flatbush, and living
at No. 626 East Twenty-ninth-st., was
prisoner in the Fifth-ave. court.
Brooklyn, on a charge of felonious as
sault. preferred by John Carman, OF
No. 1928 Flatbush-ave. He alleged
that Titus tried to shoot him at late
hour OF the night after waking him
out OF sleep for the purpose.
Carman is about the same age as
Titus and, like him, has lived in Flat
bush from boyhood. He told In court
that he was snugly sleeping in his
home when he was awakened by ter
rifle racket at his front door. Looking
out OF q window, he beheld Titus who,
he said, greeted him pleasantly and
besought him TO come down to the.
door.
Il wish to speak to you on an i'm
portant matter" said Titus.
Carman said he scrambled into some
clothes and went down to greet his
friend. When he opened the door. he
found himself looking down the barrel
Of revolver held by Titus.
John" Titus is alleged to have said,
II have come around here to shoot
you. 1t is a little late 10 disturb you
and you have been good friend OF
mine for many years. | appreciate all
that, but have begun to get tired OF
seeing you around and | have decided
to kill YOU"
Carman was sure his old friend was
joking, but decided to take no chances.
He grabbed for the revolver, but be.
fore he could get hold of II Titus fired.
The bullet grazed Carman's face and
imbedded itself in a wall.
Then Carman got Titus by the
throat, threw him to the ground and
wrested the weapon from him. BY
then a policeman had arrived.
In court Titus could not explain
why he had tried to shoot his friend.
For all that he seemed to have all his
buttons. so the magistrate instead OF
sending him away for mental obser.
walton committed him to await the &C
ton az grand jury.
