Washington, June 24.—Manipula
tions of the International Coffee Trust, bination, it is declared, has not ad-

ernment trust busters and awakened' pf justice, the coffee trust has

a result of the anti-trust agitation in put is believed to have been within the
congress. These transactions, which consumption, so that the world,

contains 133 pounds. i To effect the arbitrary restrictions

matter. So, too, is the government of
Brazil, which is known to be much
concerned about the possibility of ser
ious friction in its commercial rela
tions with the United States.
So grave, in fact has this friction
become, that it has lately become
tions to the state department concern
ing this government’s views and in
tentions regarding the coffee trust. It
is not known what form these in
quiries took, or what reply to them
was made by Secretary of State Knox.
At present it is pointed out that the
investigation that has been, or is about
to be, ineugurated by the government
—for no one is supposed to Jsnow
whether the government is investigat
ing the coffee trust or not, and inquir
ies at the department of justice elicit
j no definite reply, has not produced re
sults sufficiently definite to make clear
what action will be necessary. Conse
quently,’ if reported information is cor
rect, the Brazilian government is no
wiser today concerning the steps that
the United States is taking to break
up the pool of coffee capitalists than
it was v/hen inquiries were recently
made at the state department.
However. Brazil is not resting on
her oars. That government is bitting
up and taking a whole lot of notice
of what is going on. One story has it
that there are a number of Brazilian
secret service agents in this country
watching the moves that are made by |
the government investigators. If this
be true, it is Pafe to say that Brazil
is as fully advised of what this gov
ernment is doing in respect to the cof
fee trust as the department of justice
officials and the president. The ^offee
exchange people in New York are al
so on the lookout'and are displaying
much activity. The trust is highly un
popular with the coffee brokers and
merchants, as well as with the whole
salers, retailers and consumers. The
brokers and jobbers complain that the
trust keeps such a tight hand on the
market that there is no speculative
possibility. Its^domination of supplies
is such that any body attempting an
independent movement can instantly
be swamped by the overpowering
might of the trust, either by withhold
ing supplies, or dumping them on the
' market. i
i Against the argument admitted by
I the independents and allied interests
I the Brazilian government and the
trust point out that the maintenance
The suggestion to Investigate the
trust started through Representative
Norris, of Nebraska, in discussing the
grasping tendencies of the trust and
the. greed of both the trust officials
and the Brazilian government.
Diplomats from nearly all of the in
dependent coffee growing districts in
the world, and the independent coffee
interests declared that a countervail
ing duty by the United States would
induce a big increase in production,
and in a few years they believe would
restore the market to normal balance
and cripple the trust.
Meanwhile, with the tariff makers
talking and the diplomatic agitation
the department of justice Is saying
nothing, but quietly investigating the
American end of the coffee trust.
As late as April 15, Attorney Gene
ral Wickersham gave his bureau of in
vestigation and research the necessary
authority to send several men abroad
on a secret mission. It was afterwards
discovered that their business was to
investigate the methods of the coffee
trust in handling its products. Men
have also been sent to Brazil, ^vhere
this end of the business conducted by
the coffee trust thoroughly investigat
ed. Now the inspectors and investiga
tors are making a systeiUatic investi
gation of the trust methods in the
United States.
Just what is to be done with the
trust. Is of course, is not definitely
known. At all events the subject is
being thoroughly investigated by the
department of justice and should
congress express a desire to have the
trust proceeded against under the
Sherman anti-trust law Attorney Gren-
eral Wickersham will be ready to com
ply.

Jet)ies and Johnson
Accidentally Meet
London, June 24.—Jim Je Mes and
Jack Johnson met accidentally in the
Trocadero restaurant last night. The
meeting of the former ring antagonists
created a sensation among the diners
who seemed for a moment to fear a
renewal of th Reno hostilities.
Jeffries, who has just arrived from
Carsland, where he has been taking a
course of the wa’ters. was dining with
his wife and several friends, including
Walter Kelly, the “Virginia judge,'
when Johnson entered. The fighters
saw each other immediatly, but Jef
fries glared stolidly in the other di
rection and refused to recognise John
son. The noise of the gay restaurant
immediately ceased. Johnosn, however,
avoided a scene. With his wife and
diamonds he passed Jeffries and took
a table at the further side of the
Toom.
Jeffries appeajred highly uncomfor
table and hastily finished his meal
and departed, leaving Johnson laugh
ing over his wine.
RESULTS YESTERDAY.
game’s greatest pitchers. You couldn’t
see the ball when Joss pitched until,
the pill left his hand. He turned to-,
wards second, then wheeled and let
go.
“Steele has the same stunt. The re
sult is that the batter takes his eya
off the ball, and when yon take your
€3"e off the ball in baseball its just like
taking your eye off the ball In golf.
You’re liable to fozizle, slice or top the
pill, or, even worse, miss it altogether.
“Steele has a nice epit ball. It is
a fooler and when he’s using the Bpit-
career, he turned June above the .400 ter lie's a hard man to hit In that
mark, and has now pounded his mas- game Sunday when he bad the bases

heaviest months, and if history repeats Mayes, I instructed Walsh to hit the

up a set of figures never to be equaled should have ‘waited,’ but Steele had
by this or the succeeding generation been getting the first ball over, and
of those whose main object In life Is it ustially was a straight one. If Steele

they can’t even get.

spitter. So I told Walsh to hit the
first one and tV^alsh did. The result
was a double play and an end to our
rally.
“But it’s hard to best a pitcher like
Steele. He w'orks hard and usually
follows his catcher’s instructions. He’s
eager to win and that helps. I figure
Steele should win a bunch of games
