the victory in his district to stuffing
the ballot boxes by his associates.

gins faction and the Chute. McCord
and Conroy faction each controlled ex.

the success Of either faction depended
upon which set of election officers

today when the federal government pro-
ceeded with its newest move. under the
Sherman law, to break up the Brazilian
coffee trust. Counsel clashed with the
government attorneys and judges OF the

some OF the propositions made by the
federal prosecutors
The issue mainly resolved itself into
the right OF the United States govern
ment TO seize and sell SO. 600, 900 worth
OF coffee, tho property OF a foreign state,
because of an alleged illegal combine in
control OF the coffee market
The coffee has been held up under
temporary Injunction and today's pro-
ceedings were arguments for and against
making that Injunction permanent De-
cision was reserved after an exposition
OF both sides.
Judge Lacombe in reply 10 sucges-
tlon by Solicitors General Lehman that

cedure would be 10 compel the "uniaw-
