COFFEE TRUST
IS ATTACKED
BRAZIL VALORIZATlON PLAN De.
CLARED TO BE VIOLATION OF
SHERMAN LAW.
PRICES NEARLY DOUBLED
Government Charges Conspiracy
95O,00O Bags Valued at $4,000.
600 Are Ordered to Be
Sold.

! New York. May 2O.-Atprney Cen
eral Wickersham moved against the
so-called coffee trust. or Brazilian val
orizatiOn scheme. In petition in
equity, filed in the United States court
here, the valorization plan is declared
to be violation of the Sherman anti.
trust law
scheme unlawful, to. enjoin the valor'
ization committee from Withholding
coffee from the market and to appoint
Q receiver to sell the $4,000 bags
valued at $1O,0OO,000, now alleged tc
be stored in warehouses of the New
York dock company.
The government also applied for 9
temporary injunction restraining the
valorization committee from removing
or disposing of coffee held in America.
pending the termination of the issue.
The members of the valoriZatiOn
committee have agreed and conspired
among themselves. the government
charges, to withhold from the market
large quantities of coffee under their
control for the purpose of raising the
price to an unnatural and unreason
able extent. They have thus attempt
ed to restrain the coffee trade through
out the world, including interstate and
foreign commerce of the United States
and "to injure and defraud the public
for their own enrichment"
The suit has distinctly interna.
tional color. The Brazilian state OF
Sac Paulo, the greatest coffee district
in the world, is party to the agree
ments which are declared unlawful in
America. The government holds that
the Brazilian state was induced to en-.
act laws and enter into agreement in
connection with the valorization plan
by those interested in maintaining and
increasing the price of coffee. The
conspiracies were not unlawful in
Brazil and were participated in by
a foreign state, the government holds,
cannot justify the commission by any
act in the United States to restrain
trade. The defendants are:
Hermany Sielcken of New York;
Baron Bruno Schroeder of J. Henry
Schroeder & Co., of London; Edouard
Bunge Of Antwerp; LIE Vicomte dc
Touches, of Havre; DR.. Paulo da Silva
Prado, of Sac Paulo; Theodore Willie,
of Hamburg; the Societe Generate, OF
Paris, and the New York Dock Co. All
except the last named are members OF
the valorization committee.
The immediate effect of valorization
was to withdraw from commerce TO-.
S6S,266 bags of coffee, says the peti.
ton. The price of Rio No. Z, it is
pointed out, as an illustration, has
risen from 7l to 14A cents, an in.
crease of nearly 100 per cent
AS the United States consumes 40
per cent of all the coffee sold in the
world. the petition declares that every
act which prevents it's importation in
normal quantities or increased prices
Is q direct restraint upon foreign and
interstate trade.

DISEASE FROM FLIES
Dr.. Kepford Asserts That The Fly
Is q Menace to Health
ACTIVE CAMPAIGN At ONCE
Declares the Garbaree Can Is Great
Breeding Place for the Pests,
and That All Decayed Matter
Should Be Burned.

Des Moines.-Dr. T. e. Kepford,
state anti-tuberculosis lecturer, sounds
q timely warning against permitting
the fly to breed and grow in Iowa.
He asserts that the fly is menace
not only in spreading tuberculosis,
but in spreading other diseases, typh.
old fever for example. 1t is impor-
tant to swat the fly in every possible
manner and at every opportunity.
But DR.. Kepford calls attention to
the fact that it is even more import
ant to kill him before he is Matched
by destroying the garbage and refuse
pile in which he first has his being.
All of which leads up to the question
OF how to best dispose OF garbage.
A recent census bulletin gives inter-
esting statistics. For instance, Min
neapolis burns its garbage, and in
so doing generates power for heating
and lighting the city tuberculosis
hospital and municipal workhouse.
Some cities burn it in the open air,
others sell it to farmers, who feed 1t
to swine: others empty it into the
rivers, and some dump it onto vacant
tracts to decompose.
Obviously the latter plan is most
Objectionable. 1t would be far from
consistent to advocate a swat-the-fy
campaign and at the same time dump
garbage in such manner that 1t
would enable millions OF these pests
to be Matched day after day.

Prohibition Extension Society.

The state central committee of the
prohibition party wants George Cos
son, attorney general, to put the Pro-
hibition Extension society out OF
business. John B. Hammond and C..
H. Gordon, special committee from
the central committee, filed state
ment against the Incorporation with
the attorney general.
The Prohibition Extension society
was organized by c. Durant Jones
Of Perry, formerly chairman of the
committee that is now trying to kill
his society. and at present a candi-
date for the nomination for governor
on the prohibition ticket
Jones' purpose in organizing the
society was to aid the prohibition
party financially, SO the articles OF
Incorporation set forth. The protest
to the attorney general cites the code
section that makes contributing to
political parties unlawful. and on
that account demands that the cor
poration be dissolved.

Iowa continues to lead all states
in literacy Latest census reports

persons out of every hundred in Iowa
who cannot read or write. This is a
remarkable showing. 1t speaks we'll

that in Iowa a premium is placed up
on brains and that the people of this

everyone, the rich and the poor alike.
Iowa is fortunate. The cities of the
state are prosperous. They have no
slum districts in which ignorance
reigns. The foreigners who come to
Iowa are of the highest class, eager
to learn and quick to take advantage
of the manifold opportunities offered.
