Washington. D, c., February ga

upon the President and the Attorney
General Of the United States to report
whether any other investigation OF the
matter has been instituted by the gov

ris, of Nebraska 1 was done without
remark, and the resolutions went auto

The resolutions attracted no atten-

heard tonight with considerable sur
prise that rumors of their introd uction
had In some degree affected the New
York coffee market.
II is hardly likely that either com
mittee will report the resolutions at
this late day in the session. but Mr.
Norris tonight expressed some conf
dencc that the House would take up
and pass the resolutions.
Norris Has the Names.
Mr. Norris said he had the names OF
those who he said had entered into ar
rangements with Brazil for the coffee
control. j. F. Morgan e. Co. and the
City National and First National Banks,
of New York City. he said, constituted
the American end OF the great scheme
that has financed the deal"

25,0oO,000 each was subscribed in Lon
don and France, s1o,o0O,00o each In
America and Germany. and $4,000 000
in Holland.
The scheme. as Mr.. Norris outlined IT.
was that the State OF San Paulo issued
s75.000.0o0 Of per cent bonds. which
this foreign syndicate took up. Brazil
guaranteed these bonds and provided a
surtaN of francs a bag. which the
agreement provided was to be remitted
to these interests in the bond syndi-
cate. and provided for committee OF
seven men, six Of whom We're to be
selected by the inancicrs in the syndi-
cate and one by the Brazilian govern
ment itself. the committee TO control
the sale and disposition OF the coffee
