COFFEE DROPS, MAKING
ONE LIVING COST RIFT
Brazilian VaIorization Scheme
FoiIed by Congress.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March "a
At least one slight rift appears in
the high cost of living. Uncle Sam
win not be obliged to pay as much
for the coffee his family drinks as
he has been paying hitherto,
The breaking up of the Brazilian
coffee Valorization scheme has al
ready reduced the price of coffee in
this country. Quotations show it has
dropped about pa cents per pound, or
approximately SO per bag.
This has happened within the last
two months Inasmuch as this coun-
try consumes about 100000 bags OF
coffee annually, this means saving
of about s2O,OO0.000 a year to con-
sumers
such a saving as this has been
effected through non-partsan effort.
The Department of Justice and Con-
sress have cooperated in the attempt
TO break up the coffee valorlzation
deal On the one hand, the Depart
'ment of Justice began suit TO break
un the combination, and on the other
hand. Congress passed the Norris
bill. the purpose of which was to
make it impossible for a foreign
trust or combine to land goods in this
country without making them liable

URGE: K|NKEEAD TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Boom for Congressman May
Soon Be Launched-Has No
Political Obligations.

JERSEY CITY. N. j., March "a
With Governor Fielder and Mayor
Wittpenn, both avowed eandi-
dates for the Gubernatorial nomina-
ton, arguing with each other about
the jury bill, and Sheriff n. Peter
Wedin dissatisfied with the attitude
of both and threatening to enter the
race for the nomination, Hudson
Democrats are wondering where they
are at.
As if the situation was not suf-
fieiently complicated, the friends of
Congressman Eugene f. Kinkead are
to throw his hat into the ring Con-
gresham Kinkead is easily the most
popular Democrat in Hudson County
and his friends here point to the fact
that long before any of the present
candidates entered the field he was
talked of as a possible candidate, his
boom having been started by South
Jersey Democrats.
Mr.. Kinkead at the time declined
to discuss the matter. He is still
reticent on the subject of his candi-
daoy. but If the situation does not
clear IT would not be surprising if he
bowed to the wishes of his friends
and consented to make the contest at
the primaries.
Mayor Wittpenn has been endeav-
oring for some time to get Congress-
man Kinkead to favor his candidacy,
and recently the Fielder boomers have
been patting the Congressman on the
back and telling him he ought to
join the Fielder movement. As the
Congressman is not under any politi-
cal obligations to either of the avowed
candidates. he has decided to remain
neutral and watch developments.
IL sentiment In his favor continues
and he announces his candidacy it
will cause all sorts of trouble for the
other candidates. Mr.. Kinkead has
never been defeated for public office,
though three times he ran for Con-
gress in Republican districts That
he is as strong, If not stronger. with
the Democratic masses than either of
the other candidates is conceded.
The Kinkead movement, IL it is not
discouraged by the Congressman, is
likely to grow to such an extent as
to overshadow all others and force
him into the position of being a cam
didate, whether he wants to be or not.

The case was that of a 5-year- old

cided to try the method recommended
by Professor Bacelli. of Italy--a COM

When the treatment began the lit

the characteristic rightly that brings
the sufferer near to death.
The child. who seemed almost MORT

hours after the treatment began.
Suddenly the effects of the treatment
became apparent and he began to inn
prove. From this time the improve
ment was remarkably fast.

CARNEGIE FOUNDATION
ISSUES ANNUAL REPORT

NEW YORK, March 24.-The sum
of 1884, 497 was expended by the.
Carnegie Foundation during the
fiscal year ending September 80, 1872,
according to the report just issued in
retiring allowances to university pro-
fessors' and widows pensions. Since

Pensions for teachers, government
employees and industrial employees

State~legislatures, almost without eX-
ception, violate fundamental actua-
rial conditions, having been framed
without study of the essential condl-
tons which must be fulfilled.

FARMERS LIST BILL
NOT IN TARIFF PLAN
Will NOT Be Put Before the
House at the Extra
Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March "a
Urged by Senator Simmons, chair
man of the finance committee of the
Senate who is backed by President
Wilson, Chairman Underwood, of the
House ways and means committee,
will not present the farmers free list
bill as a part of the tariff revision
at the special session of Congress.
The farmers free list bill is to be
made an issue between the House and
Senate and President Wilson will be
the mediator.
Carried in this bill are the general
exemptions which the Democrats
hope will meet the problem of the
high cost of living Chairman Under
wood was defeated on the committee
vote on the question of putting live
cattle on the free list. Garner, of
Texas, one of the three new members
of the committee, is charged with
having traded votes with the free raw
material men to protect the Texas
border Hammond, of Minnesota,
Joined with them on the vote on cat
tle and Underwood was defeated.
Representative A. Mitchell Palmer,
of Pennsylvania, leader for President
Wilson in the tariff fight, opposed
Garner and carried the story Of the
split in the ways and means commit
tee to the President. President Will
son told Palmer, so 1t is reported,
that the policy of the government
is that Canada and Mexico should be
treated on the same basis, and that
in the framing of the tariff the
most favored nation" treaty clauses
should be disregarded.
The maximum tariff under the
present Payne Aldrich law is to be
abrogated and the State Department
will have no power after that is
done to fix tariff rate for the gov
eminent under the treaties. The
Treasury Department must admins
ter the law.
The tariff bill to be presented to
the Democratic caucus will include
all the schedules and will embody
an entire revision. This is by direc-
ton of President Wilson and is de-
signed to shorten the session. The
President has told Underwood that
he desires a short session of Con-
gress in order that there may be the
least disturbance in business. Chair
man Underwood promises that his
bills will be ready on the date of
opening of the special session, and
Speaker Clark told the President that
there will be no delay in putting the
legislation through the House.

follow the path that is preordained,
and so 1t was but in the fulalment
of the mandate of inscrutable fate

Whether or not the Pennsylvania

nointments on account of the financial
Inability to maintain the positions.
President Wilson today practically
appealed to the country TO back him
up in a request that Congress pay
amba ssadors and ministers enough to
enable poor men to represent this
country abroad.
This appeal was made in a state
ment concerning the declination of
William McCombs of the offer Of
ambassadorship to Paris. Mr.. Nc
Combs declined solely on the ground
that he could not afford to take the
place.
The Presidents Regret.
The President said.
II am very sorry indeed that Mr..
McCombs cannot accept the appoint
ment to France. / was particularly
anxious that he should. My knowl-
grasping complex situations, my con-
hdence in his tact and resourceful-
ness as well as my affection for him
ard the Intimate relations that OIL
course exist between us combine TO
make my disappointment very great
indeed. But l, of course, appreciate
the force of the reason he gives. He
would have accepted at an unreason-
able sacrifice and l could not fur
ther press the offer upon him.
1T is a great pity that the coun-
try has to ask such sacrifices of those
who are invited to serve 1t abroad
a service which every year becomes
more exacting and more important.
The sacrifice Of time, of money and
OF opportunity at home is very seri-
Gus for any but men of large means
and leisure, tand the diplomatic SER
vice is unnecessarily hampered.
Mr.. MeCombs's refusal followed that

that McAdoo knows pretty nearly

while frankly and openly an avowed
