PROBE COFFEE TRUST
Importers and Dealers Ap-
peal to u. S. Officials.
National News Association

(National News Association)
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-An appeal has
been made to Acknowledgement Wick
ersham for an investigation of the al
legged coffee trust, on behalf of the in
dependent importers and dealers, who
declare that the trust is the most
powerful monopoly in the country.
The kernel of the situation lies in
the Brazilian coffee market and the
"valorization" methods employed to
fix fictitious prices for coffee beans.
1t is charged that powerful Ameri-
can coffee interests are dominating
the trade to such an extent that large
amounts of the product are "cornered''
and in storage SO that Independent
buyers are unable to meet the demand
at abnormal prices.

UNCERTAIN DISEASE
WAS DREAD FEVER
DR.. Thurston, Hagerstown,
Now Believes Boy Died
of Malaria Fever.

That Charles H. Murray, the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Murray, died from
malarial fever on July sixteenth, 1911,
and not from typhoid, as stated in the
report filed with the county health Of
ficer, is the belief entertained today
by DIR. Eli H. Thurston. On the day
after the death, DR.. Thurston made his
report to DR.. j. E. King, the county
health guardian, and said that the
cause of the death was typhoid fever.
When DR.. King, a few days later, look
ed over his records, he found that DR..
Thurston had never made report of
the existence of typhoid, an act re-
quired by the Indiana law. DR.. King
lat once notified the state board of
health regarding the matter, and turn
ed the affair over to them.
It seems that DR.. Thnrston did not
know the exact cause Of the death, and
made his report as typhoid because
some symptoms of that disease did
exist. He probably did not think of
the state penalty for failure to report
typhoid as soon as the case appears.
DR.. King says he Is certain DR.. Thurs
ton would not evade the law inten-
tionally. Now that the state board no.
titled him of his error, DR.. Thurston
has made a research into the case,
and has filed affidavit to the effect
that the patient was suffering from
malaria, rather than from typhoid.
The matter has been taken out of DIR.
Kings authority, and will be deter
mined soon by the state board of
health.

new STORE OPENED
TO PUBLIC TODAY
Large Crowds Poured into
"Palais Royal A Very
Attractive Place.

Just at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
Richmond's newest store, the Palais
Royal, formally opened for business.
Hardly had the doors been swung
open before a large crowd of inter
ested citizens pushed their way into
the building for the first inspection
of the place. The new store is Won
derfully complete in it's stock and
equipment of women's garments.
The whole store was filed with
roses and palms today, which decora-
lions added to the natural attractive
ness of the place made the building
the center of attention on Main street.
Music was another feature OF the
opening, and the first patrons were
treated to a delightful entertainment
by cello and piano. The managers
Iare looking for somewhat larger
crowd this evening, as the store will
remain open from seven to nine. An
unusual feature of the opening was the
fact that not single sale was made.
The clerks had their hands full mere
ly displaying the goods, and the stock
will not be offered for sale until to-
morrow morning.
The room has been entirely remod.
Leled since the last occupants moved
Que. There is an abundance of light,
and the store was as bright as the
open air without the use of a single
artificial illumination. The room is
carpeted with green, and all the trim
Imings and fixtures are either white
or green. The fitting rooms are large,
and are furnished with full length mir
rors. A thoroughly up to date altera-
ton department has been installed.
Mrs. Pollitz, who has been connected
for several years with Siegel, Cooper
& Co. in Chicago. is to have charge
of the new store, as Mr.. Goldfinger,
the owner, is engaged with his other
stores in Decatur, Ill.,, and Terre
Haute, Ind. The store has a very
large stock. Souvenirs will be given
away tomorrow.

.SORO|D TALE TOlO
IN POLICE COURT
Woman Forced to Debase
Herself by Husband for
Financial Gain.

The story of another .meanest man"
was uncovered this morning in police
court when Jacob Sego was arraign-
ed before the mayor on the charge OF
assault. filed by his wife. Mrs. Bar
bara A. Sego. According to the evil
dence. most of which is unprintable.
Sego forced his wife to become inti-
mate with other men. He also be-
came angry with her on numerous oc-
casions and threatened to strike her.
Yesterday morning a family argument
started at their two room house on
her for allowing some potatoes. which
she was frying. to burn and he picked
up a chair and threatened to seriously
injure her.
In the course of the testimony Sego
declared that his wife was a prosti.
tute and that he did not care to live
with her. When Mrs. Sego was placed
on the witness stand, she testified
that while she and her husband and
small child were gypsying last sum-
mer she was forced by her husband
to become intimate with other men.
The money received in this way was
given to Sego. which he spent as he
elected. Sego did not deny the accu-
sations of his wife. The mayor Ques-
toned Sego and from what the lat
ter said it was gathered that the al
legations of Mrs. Sego were correct.
Mrs. Sego further declared that
while gypsying their small child died
from the effects of being compelled to
sleep in q wagon in all kinds OF wealth
err. She said that Sego forced her and
the child to gypsy.
After all of the testimony had been
given the mayor asked the prosecuting
attorney the limit of the sentence
which he could impose on the de-
PENDANT and upon being informed. Sc
go was fined $50 and costs.
Police court attaches declare that
the story as given in testimony this
morning was most demoralizing in its
repulsiye details.

ITALIAN MISSING:
ALSO ABOUT $3.50

John Doe, the Italian who lost SO
much money on Monday and reported
to the authorities that the coin had
been stolen, disappeared on Tuesday.
The money which he lost was not his
own. 1t belonged to other laborers in
the camp, he acting as custodian of
their funds. He had in his care about
$3.50. The authorities believe the
Italian did not lose the money, as he
alleged, but instead buried the funds
and seeing his opportunity dug it up
again and took French leave.

|G|VE OUT ITINERARY ! OF COL. ROOSEVELT.
Has Engagements in Bir- mingham to Make
 Four Addresses

New York, March 6.--The full itinerary of Theodore Roosevelt's coming tour Of the country was announced today. He will leave New York over the Pennsyl- vania railroad at 1d:16 a. m, on Wednes- day, and Sagamore Hill will not see him again until Sunday, April 16. As has been already printed, Atlanta is his rst stop, and the tour in it's entirety literally swings around the circle. The line of travel dips down to New Orleans, stretche across the southwest, follows the Pacific coast northward to Puget Sound, wavers into Idaho and Montana and then reaches straight for home, through Chicago, where the colonel will stop for a few hours only on Saturday, April 15. As ..'i
 The full list of engagements occupies % typewriter pages. but even this does not meet the demands and it seems pos sible that, as on other trips, the colonel frequently will break through his sched- ule and speak unannounced on the spur of the moment
 In the party will be MT. and Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Cernelia Landon, friend ofMiss Ethels, and Frank Harper. the colonels secre- tary. Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt will not join the colonel, however, until he reaches Albuquerque, N. M, and through out the trip will not attend any of the public functions.
 With the possible exception of a few short stretches the trip will be made in regular trains and public pullman cars.
 At Atlanta he will speak on March 9. before the Southern Commercial congress on .The Souths Obligation in Statesman ship and Business Endeavor' At n-r- mingham, the next day, he has engage ments. for breakfast, luncheon. and din- ner and will make four speeches.
 The subject of the speeches at New Or leans and Jackson, Miss, have not been announced Another announced speech is Civic Righteousness at Houston, Texas, on March 12. rs.as -.ss--s.
 Perhaps the incident of the whole ip in which MT Roosevelt takes the great est personal interest will be the dedica- ton of the Roosevelt dam on March IS. He will make the dedicatory address, afterward pressing the button which will release the first stream of water from the reservoir behind the dam to the thousands of acres it will bring under ir- rigation. At night there will be return to the dam to review the electric illumin- ation and Miss Ethel Roosevelt will turn the switch that sets the lamps aglowing.

GOV. DIX FAILS 10
 BREAK DEADLOCK

Albany, N. Y., March Ex-Governor Dix's latest effort to bring to an end the sepa- torlal deadlock has resulted in failure. John A. Mason, the governors secretary who was sent on mission to Tam many Leader Murphy and William F. Sheehan in New York. returned to the capital this afternoon with word that neither Murphy nor Sheehan would ac- cede to the governors wishes. These are supposed to include the desire that Shee- han withdraw as a candidate.
 A messenger was sent by Governor Dix this afternoon to New York to urge Tam many Hall leaders and William F. Shee- han the necessity of settling the sena- torial situation in New York
 This followed the publication of state ment by Governor Dix in reply to the declaration of William F. Sheehan, the Tammany senatorial aspirant, that he would not withdraw from the contest that has become a deadlock unless the caucus action that made him candidate were rescinded.
 Governor Dix says in his statement:
 "The failure of the legislature to se- lect a federal senator is vital and para mount issue confronting our party, and our party is entitled to know the names of those members of the legislature who. are opposed to the immediate settlement of this issue.'
