union LIGHT CASE.
AGAIN THURSDAY.
EXPERT TESTIMONY GIVEN THIS
MORNING BY F. 3, WHEELER,
CONSULTING ENGINEER OF THE
BYLLESBY CO.-CASE CoNTlN-
UED TO THURSDAY.

1t had been thought to dismiss the
case against the Union Light compa-
ny last evening, until next Thursday
cases which required attention, but
the cases set were settled Or contin-
ued, so the testimony in the gas plant
case was continued this morning, and
adjourned this noon until Thursday.
The principal witness this morning
was F. B. Wheeler, consulting engi-
neer of the H. M. Byllesby Co., a gas
expert, who was called here during
the summer to make any necessary
improvements in the gas plant in this
city. He testified that he found some
things about the plant that required
altering in order to give the best
service, but that these defects had
now been corrected, and machinery
installed which tends to reduce the
smoke and odor of the plant to a min
imum. More machinery is being in
stalled, he said, and when this work Is
completed. the plant will be practic-
ally odorless.
The witnesses for the plaintiff tes-
titled that the plant often emitted
dense clouds of black smoke. The de-
Tense testified that the purpose of the
roof construction Of the plant Is to
obViate this. A system of ventilators
is provided, in lieu of a chimney, and
these Ventilators hold the smoke in
suspension, and diffuse it gradually,
Considerable argument hinges on
whether or not the v%entiIators are do
ing the work which it is intended thew
should do.

HAY TURNS BACK
FLIP FOR GARRISON
Secretary of War Makes His
Hand Felt in Affairs Of
Military Department.

Chairman Hay. of the House Militare
Affairs Committee. apparently has felt
the iron hand of Secretary of War Gar
rison. He has made an acrobatic turn
on his lifelong military views. Follow
ing his conference with Secretary Gar
rison there Is every reason to believe
that he has switched to the Secretary
way of thinking.
While the Secretary has declined to
enlarge upon his original statement, his
attitude indicated rather plainly that he
and Congressman Hay are of a single
mind on military affairs.
Il do not propose to be interviewed on
military affairs further at the present
time" declared the Secretary. "An l
can say Is that Mr.. Hay and | agreed
to the general military policy except
for some details Of carrying out the
plans"
Of the long term enlistment. apparently
has come over to Mr.. Garrison's side OF
the fence and is now the champion Of
Mr.. Garrison's short term policy of op-
position of professionalism" in army
life
The effect of this sudden switch on
the relations between Hay and Major
speculation. That the feeling between
the two men is more or less personal Is

That Mr.. Hay will continue to oppose

|COST OF COFFEE|N IN
STATES IS REDUCED
Break in vaIorization Scheme
Has Cut Price BY Three
Dollars on Each Bag.

At least one slight rift appears in the
high cost Of living. Uncle Sam will not
be obliged to pay as much for the coffee
his family drinks as he has been pay
ing hitherto.
The breaking up Of the Brazilian cof-
fee valorization scheme has already re-
duced the price Of coffee in this coun-
try Quotations show II has dropped
about 2% cents per pound, or approxi-
mately Sc per bag.
This has happened within the last
two months. Inasmuch as this country
consumes about $500 900 bags Of coffee
annually, this means a saving Of about
81, 900 a year to consumers.
Such a savins as this has been effect
ed through non-partisan effort. The
Department OF Justice and Congress
have co-operated in the attempt to
break up the coffee valorization deal.
On the one hand, the Department Of
Justice began suit to break up the COM
bination. and on the other hand Con-
pose Of which was to make it impos-
sible for a foreign trust or combine to
land goods In this country without
n aking them liable to seizure.
The promoters Of the valorization
scheme found themselves up against a
stone wall and lately $4,000 bags stored
in this country have been released and
have knocked the bottom out of the
market, in spite of vain efforts to bull
it and prevent the decline. Brazilian
coffee interests recognize fully that the
plan to saddle coffee at exalted prices
on this country has been made a dead
letter
