Especial to The Richmond virginian.
WASHINGTON. u. G., Sept. IA
In an effort to ascertain who gets

rlcuiture- has made tentative plans
tor an investigation of the retail price
OF foodstutfs, and Washington, with
It's army of vitality Interested govern
ment employees. probably Will be the
base for initial inquiry.
Should Congress approve of and
appropriate for the Investigation,
Which Secretary Wilson has had in
mind for some time, the departtaents
figures probably will take in many OF
the larger cities and the ramitications
OF the inquiry will extend to the farm

for instance. Is a subject that may
properly come under the scrutiny of
'Tama Jim Wilson and his corps

There is a well defined impression
around the department, and through

quite a discrepancy between what the

So far the proposed investigation

Secretary Wilson has indicated that
he believes such a probe to be neces-
sary. and 1t is hardly probable that
Congress Will refuse the necessary ap-

MADER0 RESIGNS TOO.

Provisional President Urges Rebels TO
Put Faith In De la Barra.
FL Paso, Tex. May 27.-trancisco i.
Madero, insurrecto president of Mex
leo, resigned following the resignation
of President Diaz of Mexico, as he
promised to do some time ago He
issued manifesto renouacing the IT,
tie of president of the provisional
government and explaining -=vnou1
terms reached between hInlse- 1s.4 :,
the fedelars. He expresses the utmost
confidence In the good faith of De la
Barra while he holds the Office of tenn
porary president of Mexico and says
the insurrecto troops are at the dis
posal of De la Barra iB restoring
peace In Mexico
Madero explains that he did net
hold out for all that he and his party
declared for at San Luis Potosl last
November, when they demanded that
all governors must be swept aside,
because he had chance to get peace
by accepting one more than half the
goyernorships, and he considered this
agreeable, especially since the resig-
nations of Diaz and Corral were also
promised and new elections are prom
fsed.
Madero was asked If he would an
nounce his candidacy for the presi-
dency of Mexico, and he said he would
not, that such q thing was not con-
sidered proper in his country, but his
friends would advance his name at
the proper time, he was certain.
Invited to come to Ell Paso and hold
a public reception that the people of
the city might meet him, Madere said
he would come next Monday, mas
much as he was now private citizen.
Madero has given out a statement
declaring that the resignation of Diaz
would soon bring peace to Mexico IL
the men who have been working with
the ex ex-president do not break faith
with the people. Regardless of the
Madero statement, however, there is
an undercurrent Of dissatisfaction Ia
the rebel army, even that part of 1t In
Juarez, as is shown In a eommunica-
ton sent by the lighters to General
Orozco and Colonel Villa informing
them that the faith Of the men is In
their military leaders and not In their
provisional president nor in De la
Barra. The soldiers also suggest that
it should be their right to select the
presidential candidate at the coming
election.
Effort is being made to restore tele-
graph and railroad communication
south TO chihuahua and the City OF
Mexico so that Madero can join De la
Barra In his work. Madero has set
no date for departing,
While De la Barra is the president
in name, Madero Is debating the poll
cies to be pursued and is naming most
of the new appointees. Telegrams
here every hour from the City of Mex
&c" have to do with matters of state.
and Madero acts on them before the
public announcement is made in the
capital.

CLAIM COUPLE
DESERTED BOY
Psllco Find Child on [. v.
Railroad Tracks.

That truth is stranger than fic-
tion," is borne out in a little drama
enacted in real life in which the DO
lice have become deeply interested.
Three characters figure in it, and the
scenes are home, police court and a
railroad track. Albert Brantonwitz,
is the villain, a girl whom it is al
legged he assaulted and deserted, and
the heroine and their child, whom
he disclaims, completes the cast.
Brantonwitz, a good-looking for
eigner who speaks but little English,
is being sought by the police, who
are also looking for a short woman
who appeared with him at police
headquarters last night. They de
serted child, it is declared, on a
railroad track in Stockton street,
about o'clock last night, where it
was found by Chris Miller, of 564
Sayre avenue.
Patrolman MCGOWAN, the congo
NAL bachelor cop of the local force,
was the next to come across the
three months old boy. He display
ed a lack of knowledge at welding
the nursing bottle, but with the as
sistance Of Roundsman Morris and
the city patrol wagon, he managed
to get the child to the aims house
The woman, who lived at 32S Gift
ford street, and Brantonwitz. who
claimed Newark as his home, togeth-
er with the child. appeared before
Recorder Kehoe last night. The
man told in broken English that the
girl wanted to marry him because
he was the father of the child she
carried. He denied the charge and
claimed to have a wife living IN
Europe and 1t developed later that
the mother vas married to another.
Brantonwitz said the woman want
ed to marry him, but she claimed she
only wanted some money towards the
support of her child Thereupon the
recorder told the man to give her IS
Immediately and SO week.
The couple went away apparently
dissatisfied and the eiiiiG crying with
all its might. 1t is believed they
quarreled and at the climax decided
to abandon the infant. 1t Is feared
that the woman has committed sui
eide, as she showed signs of despon-
dency upon her appearance at police
headquarters. According to the po-
lice Brantonwitz has a bad record
among women in this city.
