Church Conrt.
NEW YOUIC, April 8. "Clullty of Im
prudent and unmlnlstcrlal conduct" was
tho verdict of the court of the New York
conference of the Methodist Upiscopal
church today against tho Itev. Dr. Jacob
K. Price, pastor of the "Washington
Heights church, defendant on charges
made by members of his congregation.
Two other spsclflcatlone, one accusing
Dr. Price of "Immorality In conduct, In
violation of the moral law" and tho other
of "Indulgence of sinful tempera and
words,'' were not sustained.
It was the Judgment o( tho select com
mittee, which reported to tho conference,
that Dr. Price "should be and hereby Is
admonished as a result of his conviction
on the first specification."
Bishop Luther B. Wilson, presiding at
ho conference, directed tho conference to
receive the findings of tho committee
without any expression of approval or
disapproval. The committee's report, ac
cordingly was received In sllcnco.
The court did not find Dr. Prloo guilty
of acts sufficiently flagrant to demand
a change of pastorate, for In the list ot
changes for the ensuing year as read by
Bishop Wilson, Dr. Price retains he
Washington Heights pulpit.
Mrs. Claude B. Dore, wife of tho at
torney who prepared tho charges of tin
ministerial conduct against the pastor,
was recalled to tho stand today and said
sha was quite sure Dr. Prlco had kissed
her twice.
TJ, S. Suit gainst
Railroad and Coal
Concerns Dismissed
TRENTON, N. J., April 8. Tho United
States court filed an opinion here today
dismissing the suit of the United States
Kovernment against the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & AVestern Railroad company and
tho Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Coal company, for alleged violation of
the commodity clause and the Sherman
nnti-trust law. The court holds that there
is no United States law or decision pro
hibiting the same set ot Individuals hold
ing 'stock In two distinct corporations,
even though they may bo engaged in
kindred business.
The decision was rendered by Judges
Gray, Bufflngton and Mci'herson, of tho
third judicial circuit. Tho action was
brought in the federal court here, but
through a certificate of expedition filed
by attorney, general McReynold, was
heard by the Judges for tho court of ap
peals at Philadelphia In January.
The case Is considered of the highest
Importance by tho government, as It la
one of tho steps planned by tho Depart
ment of Justice in its efforts to break
up what it alleges to bo a monopoly of
the anthracite coal trade. Tho case,
w.nich was "brought under the Sherman
-anti-trust law and the commodities
clause of tho Hepburn railroad law, In
all probability will go direct to the su
preme court of the United States.

STOP
Coffee Drinkers,
And think a minute!
Some persons seem able, for 'a time at least, to get along with coffee, but it con
tains a subtle, habit-forming drug, caffeine, which sqpner or later is pretty sure to
rob one of health and comfort.
If you know coffee don't harm you if you feel prime and fit under its continued
uso, well and good stick to it.
But if you are sometimes a bit "off color," mid irritable nerves, disturbed
heart action, biliousness, headache, or symptoms of liver or kidney trouble make you
wonder what's the mater
Better find out what coffee has to do with it.
Evidently some people are learning the truth about coffee listen
During 1913 the sales of coffee in this country
decreased over one hundred million pounds.
A mighty army of former coffee drinkers now use ..'...
OSTUM
and enjoy freedom from their'old coffee aches and pains.
Postmn, made of whole .wheat and a bit of molasses, is a delicious table beverage
