Coffee Market

New York, June 3.-The market for coffee futures was very quiet today, and after opening at decline of 2 to 5 points prices steadied on little support from local bulls and scattered covering, The opening decline, carried prices into new low ground for the movement with September selling at 8.50c and December at S.63c, or about r37 to 39 points under recent high levels. The decline in the Rio market and in- creasing primary receipts may have been a factor, but the sellss., was not active enough to suggest fresh senti- ment and sales for the day were only $500. The close was net l point lower to 1 point higher. September having rallied to S53c and July to S66c June, sale; July, 8.3Sc; August, S.45c; Sep tember. S.54c; October.

WANTS ANOTHER DOCK

Washington, January 10.-The estab- hshment of another large navy dry dock Tn southern waters to relieve the con gestion which would obtain at the ex- Istlng big docks in time of trouble" and the continued maintenance of the Charleston, s. C., navy yard, as well as all other existing yards were advocated today by Read Admiral Stanford, chief of the bureau of yards and docks. at the hearing of the House naval com m1ttee on the yards and docks section of the annual naval appropriation bill.
 Admiral Stanford told the committee that he regarded Guantanamo, Cuba, and Pensacola, Fla, in the order named as the best locations for a dry dock south of Cape Hatteras, sufficiently large to accommodate the largest dread naught. The admiral said that the larg- est dry dock south of Norfolk is at New Orleans, and that the basin there is big enough to accommodate ships of only 16,000 tons, whereas the newest dread naughts are of 32,O00 tons.
 With two big docks at New York and Norfolk, either or both may be re. qulred for an indefinite period for some injured vessels, particularly in time of trouble said Admiral Stanford, "and if we fail to have reserve docks with ample facilities We would have a most serious handicap. We could not clean the bottoms of our ships, nor repair their propellers and sea valves.

 BY GERMANY AT END OF WAR IMPOSSIBLE

''I feel the same way of the proposed zolleverein to include all of the allies, but if such arrangement proves essential to end the war successfully we shall have it, for there is mo arrangement that the allies are not prepared to make to that end.'
 He declared that the empire would re- cuperate after the war faster than any other country.
 '"Then it will be our duty he added, ito aid as far as We can France. Rus sia, Italy and our other allies. I would even add Germany at the bottom of the list. for no man would wish to see a period of prolonged poverty in Germany.
 But. we have the right to demand that in the recuperation ,ot Germany nothing be done which will make Italy, France, Russia or Great Britain suffer. Moreover I am provided, to wait for the end of the war to. take steps to deal with this matter, It has been all along the policy of the Board of Trade to capture German trade while the war is still on.

ENDED BY WAR

Washington, January 10.-The su- preme court today held the govern ments suit under the Sherman law in the New York federal courts against North European steamship lines en- gagged in the steerage business, should be dismissed "because general pool agreements" of which the government complained, had "become void of actual ; ities'' by the war.
 Chief Justice White in announcing the decision, directed that the decision of the New York federal district court upholding the validity of the agree ment as "a reasonable" restraint of trade should be vacated without preju- dice to the governments bringing an other suit.
 The case was an appeal both by the government and the steamship lines from decision of the district court holding that the pooling agreement was a reasonable restraint of trade, and, therefore, not prohibited by the Sher- man law but that the sending out of lighting" ships was a violation of the law

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL CASE

Washington. January 10.--The supreme court today decided in favor of the Com mercial National Bank of New Orleans in litigation with the Canal Louisiana Bank and Trust company and others over the proceeds of cotton pledged by Dreuil Co.,, cotton dealers, for loans from both banks.
 The decision is regarded as of wide commercial importance, because it arose under the uniform warehouse receipts acts, adopted by many states in the last five years. The Canal Louisiana bank first held bills of lading for 100 bales of cotton bought by Dreui & Co. Dreuil x Co. obtained possession of the bills of lading by giving trust receipts to the bank. With the bills of lading in it's hand it received the cotton from the rail- road and placed it in a warehouse. Ware house receipts were given Dreuil x Co.,, which pledged them with the Commercial bank as security for a loan, Dreuil &1 Co. went into receivers hands and the banks began litigation as to the title to the cotton
 The court today reviewing this liti- gaton and interpreting the uniform warehouse act in force in Louisiana held in favor of the Commercial on the grounds "that if the owner of goods permits another to have possession or custody of negotiable warehouse re- ceipts running to the order of the lat ter or to bearer it is a representation of title upon which bona fide purchases for value are entitled to rely, despite breaches of trust or violations of agree ment on the part of the apparent owner"

Is Successful in Preventing False Statements as to
 Curative Effects of Drugs
POLARIZATION OF
 TEN-YEAR BATTLE
Actions Against Many Firms Ex- pected to FOllow-Many Decisions Announced-Cities Can Regu-
 late Smoke From Plants

Washington, January 1O.--After 1o wears or legislation and litigation the supreme court decided today that Congress had enacted finally a constitutional law regu- lating statements as to the curative eff feet of medicines in interstate commerce. The decision was rendered by Justice Hughes. Numerous actions against drug concerns are expected to follow it.
 For time government officials urged that the 1906 pure food law designated as misbranded drugs or medicines which were accompanied in interstate commerce by Knowingly false statements about the curative effects of the compounds The supreme court decided, however, that the 1906 law applied only to misbranding as to the identity or composition of drugs.
 In response to resulting message from President Taft. Congress. in 1912 enacted the Sherley amendment, which the su- rreme court held today struck precisely at misstatements, either on the label or in printed circulars accompanying medi- cines.
 We find no ground said Justice Hughes, for saying that Congress may not condemn interstate transportation of swindling preparations, accompanied by false and fraudulent statements, as well as lottery tickets"
 The decision was announced in the case of Chicago drug concern which shipped medicine from Chicago 10 Omaha, de- scribed in an accompanying circular as a. compound which it knew had cured and would tuberculosis Tho ar,f confiscated the product and the federal district court in Nebraska condemned the shipments. This action was affirmed to. day by the supreme court

to express my astonishment that the Aus tro-Hungarian government, themselves one of the authors of the danger, should have thought it seemly to indorse this request.
 Not content however. with doing this the Austro-Hunsarian government further states that they will hold his majesty S government responsible for the lives and well being of those passengers, a majori- ty of whom are better class people,
 'I am at loss to know why better class people should he thought more en- titled to protection from submarine at tack than other noncombatants. But, however that may be, the only danger of the character indicated which threatens any passengers on the Golconda is one for which the Austro- Hungarian and German governments alone are responsible. It is they only who carry on the novel and inhumane form of warfare which disre- gards all hitherto accepted principles of international law and necessarily endan- gers the lives of noncombatants.

 PREVENT ECONOMIC WAR
 I've can stand the strain longer than Germany" continued MT. Runciman, and if we husband our resources, the disaster that will fall upon her Will De almost irreparable. We must make It clear, however, that when peace comes we will not permit the outbreak of the economic war which Germany would wage against ourselves and our allies.
 Discussing the suggestion of free trade within the British empire, Mir. Runci- han remarked that the dominions Of Great britain were not likely to alter their methods or their attitude toward the mother country. The colonies were determined to raise their revenue and to foster their industries in their own. way and he was afraid the idea of free trade within the empire must be dis missed.

By asking for special precautions to protect one of their own subjects on board British merchant vessel the Aus Uo-Hungarian government recognize what Is the inevitable consequence of their sub marine policy and admit that the out rages whereby the Lusitania. the Persia and numbers of other ships have been sunk without warning were not the re- suit of casual brutalitIes of the off cers of the enemy submarines. but part of a settled and premeditated policy of the governments they serve.
 'It is needless to add that his majesty's government do not propose to take any precautions on behalf of Austro-Hunga- rian subjects which they do not take on behalf of their own and that if they suffer any injury from submarine attack on the part of his majesty's enemies, the responsibility must rest solely with those who have made such attacks part of their ordinary methods of warfare.
 "The proper and sufficient protection from this danger is that Austria Hun gary and Germany should observe the ordinary rules of humanity in their meth- ods of warfare
