serted that Sunday morning he board
ed a train at a station near Bowie and
met Cummings. After talking at
length about personal matters. the
prisoner borrowed a cigarette and left
the train at Bowie road.
Grant declared to the police that
Cummings did not appear nervous or
unstrung, but merely chatted about
inconsequential matters until his sta
ton was called.
No mention was made Of the muir
dered farmer, according to the state
ment of the witness.
Sheriff Garrison last night said that
he is positive that Cummings Is the
guilty man. and that ne will endeavor
to have him turned over to Maryland
authorities Immediately.
The prisoner will not be taken to
Marlboro, but will be sent to the Bal
tinore city Jail until the October ses-
sions Of the grand jury OF Prince
Georges county.
Fear Mob Violence.
It Is believed that any attempt to
move the negro to Marlboro or Bowie
at this time would result in a mob
taking him from his jailors and
lynching him. Every effort will be
made to protect Cummings.
The funeral of Peter was held from
the Lutheran Chapel, in Bowie. yes
terday afternoon. His body was In
TERED in the chapel cemetery.
Physicians at Emergency Hospital

Peter has every chance Of recovery,
and 1t is their belief that the girl will
be able to again view the negro and
positively state whether he is her as
sailant
Detective Sergt. Scrivener. who has
played an important part in the case,
declared that before night he will be
in possession of facts that will either
clear the negro or establish his guilt
Detective Scrivener believes that q
confession will be wrung from the ne
gro before the day Is over.
The negro cleared Norvelle Cum
mings. who is said to be his wife,
when he told headquarters detectives
that she was not with him on Sun

after It was reported by the news

Pruneda was preparing to leave with
force in compliance with orders
from Gen. Dieguez, translation of
which was sent you yesterday. to look
for the aviators and the fallen plane.
Mexican Troops Not Moved.
The consul said that Gen. Pruneda
would like to send troops to follow
bandits after the consul had been
informed Of our having obtained the
lost aviators last night and having
been told just where the planes fell
with them and how they were cap
tured near Coyame and held and
taken to mountains opposite Candle
laria for ransom. The consul then
suggested that Gen. Pruneda do not
move his troops at all in order to
avoid any contact between Gen. Pru-
neda's troops and ours, since Pr,lneda
had orders not to permit any mill
tary representative of our government
to accompany his troops in the search
for the lost ayiators.
II agreed with the consul that this
would be wise; that our troops had
taken up the trail of the bandits as
soon as It was light enough to see
the trail and were then in pursuit; !;
that It was impossible to get Mexican
officers to accompany our troops. and
assured him that efforts would be
made by airplane to~keep liaison be-
tween our troops and the Mexican
troops, to which the consul agreed.
The aviators have made two liaison
flights, keeping contact with and OBJ
serving our troops. Shall keep you
informed"

COFFEE PRICE

ON bRAzILIANS
5000, 900 Bags Taken Of
Market for Speculation
Senators Hear

Facts tending to show that the high
price Of coffee is due to Brazilian
coffee growers were revealed to the
Senate subcommittee investigating
the high cost of living in the Dis
trict, at a hearing yesterday aft
ernoon.
]. E. Baines, representative of
Browning and Baines. gave testimony
on behalf of wholesale coffee dealers
in Washington.
Baines said coffee prices shot up at
a phenomenal rate during the past
year. He told the Senators he had
not known the real reason for this
until the other day when a Mr.. Di-
rickson of Sac Paulo. Brazil, stopped
in his store here and told him of
proflteering methods OF Brazilian cof-
fee growers who are trying to make
up with a vengeance for a disastrous
frost IN their region which killed 10
per cent Of the coffee trees.
Chairman Ball said the United
States has no Jurisdiction over the
profiteering by the Brazilian growers.
Baines Gives Cost Figures.
Baines presented figures to prove
that the cheapest grade of coffee had
advanced from IT cents a pound.
charged last year. to 81 cents pound,
charged today. This coffee, he said.
is not very good coffee and is gen
orally mixed with a higher grade be-
fore being marketed.
He estimated that the Brazilian
growers had bought up about 1900. 900
bags of coffee and taken it of the
market for speculative purposes.
W. G. Buchanan, Of the ]. II. Will
kins Company, another wholesale
coffee dealer. backed up Baines' tes-
timony and showed the Senators how.
gradually, since October. 1918, the
cheapest grade of coffee had crept
up from Is cents a pound to %, y, 90.
until it reached 81 cents a pound. the
price asked today.
Four wholesale grocers gave testi-
mony early In the hearing. They
were: w. T. Shea, OF N. H. Shea
Company; a. Lehman. OF Lehman
Brothers; F. y. Hume. of Frank
Hume Company; and ]. B. Earpshaw,
Of B. B. Earnshaw Company.
Some of the wholesalers said they
figured on from 10 per cent to Is per
cent profit.
Each emphasized The Serious posi-

Lieut.. Col Miller. former Represen-
tative from Delaware, who conducted
a portion of the hearing, asked each
list of the standard articles they
sell. with prices.
These men, while admitting that
war regulations did not hamper them
from netting a reasonable profit, were
loath to admit that they would be
satisfied with some sort of govern
mental supervision as a regular
thing. They aid that such a step
is not necessary in normal condi-
tions

One wholesaler told the committee

tives from Washington bakeries and
