Pine BLUFF WAS
GETTING BAD HABIT
Mixed Up Real Coin in Their Social
Games-District Attorney Loses
and Starts Wholesale
Prosecution.

Pine Bluff, May f5.- District At
torney i. Havis Nixon, after going
into magistrates court here and
pleading guilty to a charge of gam
ing, and paying a fine of $40 and
costs, issued warrants for about 50
prominent business men, bankers
and others, charging them with
gaming, and declares that he will
cause the arrest of so more promi-
ncnt people within the next few
days. Many Of the business men
have already plead guilty to the
charge and others have declared
their intention to fight the cases.
The action Of the district attorney
has created a genuine sensation
here and he is being denounced.
The arrest Of the local citizens
grows out Of social games of poker,
whist and pitch played in their
own homes and with their wives
and a few friends. on different oc-
casions. Although he has been in
Office Two years, this is the first
time that Attorney Nixon has pros
ecuted men who play cards IN their
own homes. 1t is reported here to-
night that his deputy, Hon. T. q.
Parham, is to resign because of his
chiefs action, although this could
mot be confirmed. District Attorney
Nixon openly makes the statement
that he will resign the Office if the
people here will pay his debts. 1t
is further stated that he is plan
ming to file information against the
Elks lodge and other lodge societies
and clubs Of the city for selling
liquor on Sunday, and against their
members for playing cards in the
club rooms.
Many of the business men and
bankers who have been arrested
are members of the fashionable
Country Club here. Others are
those who played in games with
Nixon.

UNLAWFUL COFFEE
COMBINE CHARGED
Court Asked to Decree Brazilian
Valorization Scheme in Nio-
lati0n of Trust Law-IIas
International Aspect.

New York, May i9.-Attorney
General Wickersham yesterday
moved against the so-called coffee
valorization scheme. In a petition
in equity FLED in the federal court
here the valorization plan is de-
clared to be a violation of the
Sherman anti-trust law
The court is asked to decree the
scheme unlawful to enjoin the val
orization committee from with
holding coffee from the market and
to appoint a receiver to sell the
$4,000 bags, valued at Si0,0O0,000,
now alleged to be stored in ware
houses Of the New York Dock Com
pany.
The government also applied for
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 COM
mittee have agreed and conspired
among themselves, the government
charges, to withhold from the
market large quantities of coffee
and raise the price to an unreason-
able extent.
They have thus attempted, it is
declared, to restrain the coffee
trade throughout the world and "to
injure and defraud the public for
its own enrichment
The suit has a distinctly interna-
tional aspect. The Brazilian state
of Saoparfo is a party to the agree
ments which are declared unlawful
in America. The government holds
that the Brazilian state was in.
duced to enact laws and enter into
| agreements in connection with tn,
valorization by those Interested il
increasing the price of coffee. TIL,
fact that the alleged agreement.
and eonspiracies were not unlawful
| in Brazil the government holds
cannot justify the commission o
any act in the United States to re-
strain trade.
The defendants are Herman 81

don, Eudard Bunge Of Antwerp, L
f. Vieompte Des Touches Of Hav-
re. DR.. paulo pa Silva Prado O

except the last named are members

ALUMINIUM TRUST
NEXT TO BE SUED
Claimed There Is No just Reason for
High Prices Asked for COOKING
Utensils and Other Products
Made From This Metal.

Pittsburg, May i6.-The federal
government filed here today a civil
anti-trust suit against the Alumni
UNI Company of America, which
will be the basis for an agreed de-
cree designed to restrain the So
called aluminium trust from mo-
nopollzlng the manufacture of
aluminium and its products, in
Guiding cooking utensils.
In a petition in equity to the
United States court, the company
is charged with being a monopoly
restraining interstate and foreign
commerce. 1t is declared TO have
acquired a substantial control OF
the aluminium industry in the Uni
ted States and to have charged UNI
reasonably high prices and profits
on its products. Dissolution of the
corporation is not sought, but the
court is asked to issue nine broad
injunctions against alleged unlaw-
full contracts, combinations, con-
spiracies and practices.
The government comedies that
the companys ownership of more
than 80 per cent of the known de-
posits of bauxite base of alumni
NUM- in the United States and Can
ada suitable for the manufacture OF
the metal is not within ITSELF UNI
lawful. II is charged, however
that the practical monopoly in both
bauxite and the manufacture OF
aluminium which the company log
ically enjoyed upon the expiration
of its contracts for making alumni
mum in 1909 has been maintained
| by unlawful agreements and UNI
fair methods toward competitors.
Tariff Bars Foreign Metal Out.
The extent of other bauxite de-
posts in the United States is moi
known at this time, but it is SAID
there are laexhaustible quantities
abroad which could be placed al
the disposal Of competitors Of alu-
minum manufacture il the restraint
upon trade was removed.
The history Of the aluminium
cooking utensi industry in the
United States" says the petition
was caused chiefly, or corroborat-
ed by the arbitrary, discriminatory
and unfair dealings of the defend
tant."
The agreed decree will follow the
governments prayer for restraints
upon the company. This agree
ment, obviating a prolonged battle
in the courts, was the result Of sew
eral weeks of negotiations between
the department of justice and tht
corporation.
The Aluminium Company o.
America, incorporated originally al
the pittsburg Reduction Company
has grown, it is pointed out, from {
$4,000 capitalization in 1888 unit
| its assets are now estimated at S27,-

formed them the practice of using
their influence to induce such prison
ers TO enter pleas OF guilty to the
charges against them would not be
tolerated, and that hereafter, in order
to do away with the practice, he would
order the fees to be paid to attorneys
in such cases to be graduated accord
ing to the amount of work performed
in the interest of the client, and also
that he would in the future impose no
lighter sentence on a prisoner who
pleaded guilty than he would on one
who had been convicted by a jury af-
ter a trial. He insisted that every
prisoner had the right to be tried by
a jury if he so desired, and that 1t
was the duty of attorneys appointed
by the court to defend their clients
as energetically as though they had
been engaged by the accused persons
