COFFEE ARRIVES BY WATER

Chicago.-The arrival recently Of a
cargo of coffee at the Clark street
dock of Reid, Murdoch & Co., marked
the first of such shipments coming to
Chicago by water from the South
American coffee plantations.
The firm purchased the coffee in
Colombia, transported it by mule to
Girardot and thence entirely by water
from this point in the interior of South
America to the heart of North Amer
lea where it was unloaded at the
docks Of the company in Chicago
This marks a distinct advance over
the former methods of transporting
coffee and has affected a material
saving in cost.
In the future practically all coffee
will be shipped to Chicago by water
from Colombia, said John MacMahon,
vice president Of the company.

DREMIER POINCARE, probably be-
L cause of the prospect of a Labor
government for Great Britain, is re-
taxing his opposition to an unrestricted
inquiry into the German reparations
question, and as a result the United
States is to participate, unofficially,
in such an investigation, to be made
by two committees selected by the
Preparations commission. The allied
governments and Germany requested
this, and President Coolidge announced
that he approved Of participation by
American experts. One of the COM
mittees is to examine the German cap
ital abroad, and the other is to en-
deayor to find means Of balancing the
German budget and of stabilizing Ger
man currency. The American experts
presumably will be approved II not
chosen by the President. Among the
names most prominently mentioned

it has decided to make a world

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE submitted
to congress the budget for the next
fiscal year, proposing tax reduction
of more than S30O,OO0OO0 and cut of
about $275,00O,OOe in the cost of gov
eminent. He recommended a revision
of the tax laws along the lines sug-
gested by Secretary Mellon. He also
took another rap at the proposed
bonus, asserting that there is no sound
reason for it and that compensation
should be limited to the war incapaci-
tated and wounded.
An additional $1,6O0,000 for prohibit
ton enforcement is asked of congress,
President Coolidge stating that a con-
siderably enlarged field force should
be provided. He added that he would
present to congress soon a supplement
tai estimate of $2O,00O,0o0 mainly for
additional vessels for the coast guard,
'sfor the purpose of combating more
thoroughly rum running and unlawful
importations." If this appropriation is
granted the President said he would
ask for an additional $6000,0O0 later
for a similar purpose.
