GOVERNMENT SUES
THE COFFEE TRUST
RECEIVER FOR $1,000, 900 PROPER
TIES PETITIONED.
INJUNCTION is ASKED FOR
English. French, German. Belgian and
American Merchants Are Defend
ants-Restraint of Trade
Charged.

New Nork.-Attorney General Wick.
ersnam has moved against the so-calIed
coffee trust, or Brazilian yalorization
scheme. In a petition in equity filed in
federal court here the valorzation plan
Is declared to BE- a violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust iAw.
The court : asked to decree the scheme
unlawful, to enJoin the valorization COM
mittee from withholding coffee from the
market and to appoint receiver to see
the 100000 bags, valued at $4,000, 900,
now alleged to b. stored in warehouses
of the New York Dock Company.
The government also applied for a
temporary injunction restraining the
valorization committee from removing
or disposing Of coffee held in America
pending the termination of the issue
Members OF the valorization commit
tee have agreed and eonspired among
themselves, the government charges. To
withhold from the market large quanti-
tieS Of coffee and raise the price to an
unreasonable extent. They have thus at
tempted. it Is declared, to restrain the
coffee trade throughout the world and
"to injure and defraud the public for
their own enrichment"
The suit has a distinctly international
aspect. The Brazilian state of Sto Paulo
is party to the agreements v hich are
declared unlawful in America. The gov
ernment holds that the Brazilian state
was induced to enact laws and enter
in agreements in connection with the
valorization plan by those interested in
increasing the price of coffee.
As the United States consumes forty
per cent of all the coffee sold in the
world, the petition declares every act
which prevents its importation in nor
NAL quantities or Increased prices IS a
direct restraint upon the foreign and in
terstste trade.

GOVERNOR GETS LOAN
MONEY WILL BE ADVANCED TO
STATE AT A Low RATE.
0sv. Brewer Managed to Place the
Loan Authorized by Legislature
With New York Bankers at
4Ir Per Cent Interest.

Jsckson.-Gov. Earl Brewer returned
from New York where he succeeded in
negotiating a loan of $500, 900 to meet a
prospective dehcit in the state treasury
antiepatd BY the legislature.
Gov. Brewer tried to negotiate the
ioan with banking institutions within
the state prior to the New York trip,
but the best offer he could get vas 8
per cent interest, and none of the
Mississippi hnanciers seemed to be espe-
eially anxious to loan to the state at
that fgure.
Gov. Brewer negotiated the loan
through friend whom he met in Boston
last summer while attending the meet
ing OF the American Bar Association.
The money was secured at 4Ia per cent
interest, which means a saving of about
$4,000 or $4,000.
Gov. Brewer had hardly touched the
platform at the union station until he
was swallowed up in a maelstrom of
politics. Delegates were arriving on
morning trains from all directions, and
the governor was carried along over to
the Edwards where the political pow
wowing was started at daylight. He
did not get an opportunity to make
connections with breakfast and renew
acquaintance with his family until
nearly . o'clock.

GOOD WAY TO PACK TRUNK
How One Woman UtiIIxes compsrs-
lively Small Space That 10
at Her Disposal.

A woman who is constantly travel
ing and yet who finds it most neces-
sary to economic in space as well as
in pennies has found the following
plan for packing her one trunk a most
excellent one: At the bottom of the
trunk she has a partition made large
enough to carry one large or two
small hats. This is strongly made. so
that 1t cannot easily be broken. At
the side Of this partition she places a
wooden box filed with sawdust, in
which are her bottles OF medicine
Here. too. she lays her shoes. each
pair carefully rolled in linen covers.
On one set Of shoes she put her pair
OF rubbers and inside the shoes she
places her boxes OF pills or powders
which would not go into the box OF
medicine. Then she has six or eight
pieces of heavy cardboard cut to ex-
actly At the trunk. These she covers
with linen or chintz. so that they look
exactly like large envelopes. with
straps or strings TO fasten down the
flaps. In these huge envelopes she
pins he- dresses. shirtwaists. etc. Two
or three dresses can usually be put in
each envelope. Everything is kept alb
solutely fat and nothing can be
pushed TO one end OF the trunk when
It is stood on end. At the top Of the
trunk Is a shallow tray. in which she
puts her laces. ribbons. wells and
gloves. etc. The underwear is rolled
and placed around the edges Of the
trunk or is folded fiat and laid be-
tween the envelopes.
