BIG ADVANCE IN COFFEE
ON SHORTNESS OF CROP

NEW YORK, June 19.-The advance
In coffee prices, which has been in
progress In the market here since Janu-
airy, was given added impetus today
when a sharp rise of approximately
one-half A cent per pound occurred at
the opening, when December contracts
sold at 20. 90c. or 60 points above yes
terday's closing quotations. During the
last week the price has advanced more
than a cent and a half and within four
months the rise has been extended by
more than 5 cents a pound.
The increase is attributed to strength
in Brazil, with the bulllsh trading senti-
ment stimulated by small estimates Of
the coming crop, which, according to
recent adyices from Santos, Is placed at
about 5000, 900 bags of Santos ~coffees as
compared with an average yield of 49,
000, 900 bags. The advance is supposed
to be influenced also by expectations
Of increased European demand as soon
Is peace has been formally declared.

Stocks.

New York.-Josephthal & Co: The
swift recovery Of the market was main
ly due to pool operations and we think
that owing to the fact that many spec
ulative issues will show some profit to
original buyers, advantage should be
taken of this cover to sell some OF
the highly speculative issues and sub
stitute for them United states Steel,
which, in our opinion, will resume mar
ket leadership before rong. In compar-
ison with the other issues, United
States Steel is selling entirely too low
and we think It is an opportune time
to start accommodating this stock, which
has been going into strong hands.
New York.-Wall street seems able TO
think Of only one thing at a time, 1t

money market has become a little cas-
Ter for the moment and at the same
time completely ignore other conditions

Plans Made at Meeting Held at

Plans for the formation of a state
Chamber of Commerce were COM
pleted at a meeting of eight of the
leading Chambers of Commerce of the
state at Wichita, Friday. The dele

meeting were Charles L. Mitchell,
vice president, and A. L. Oliger, secre-
tary.f
The state Chamber is to be formed
for the purpose of protecting the in
terests of Kansas in a business and
commercial way. 1t would be in line
with the policy outlined for the state
Chamber to employ experts on such
situations as the "three-way plan" gas
controversy now before the public
utilities commission. 1t would be the
duty of this representative to lay be-
fore the commission such data and
detail on the subject as could be had
from the standpoint Of the ordinary
citizen.
Another feature of the work Of the
state Chamber would be the prepar-
alton and distribution of such adver-

CLEAN UP HOME
Authorities Are Busy at Topeka
Orphans Home.
Dean Kaye Tells What He
Knows of Conditions.
OFFER To AID UNAPPRECIATED
aboard of Directors Wanted To
Run 1t Own Way"
No Further Complaints About
Food of Children.

How he and Bishop Frank r. Mills
paugh had endeavored for nine years
to put the Topeka Orphans home on
a sound basis was related this morning
by Dean Phillip Deb. Kaye, of the
Episcopal church. He invoked the aid
of E. H. Crosby, John r. Mulvane and
others, he stated, and was ready to
build an orphanage at Eighth and
Western avenues, but the board of
directors. which then consisted of prac-
tically the same women who are now
in charge, would not consent to any
such undertaking, he asserted.
Dean Kaye explained that the board
of directors elected each other at the
mated that they evidently wanted to
run things in the manner that best
suited themselves.
An inspection of the orphanage at
Third and Fillmore streets this morn
ing disclosed that the building was
Alice Andrews, the new -matron, re-
fused to make any statement at the
present time, but there was ample evil
dence that a change was going on.
Paint Old Beds.
Several beds were being painted,
sleeping porch on the east had been
painted, and workmen were busy on
the fence around the grounds. All
the beds used for the children are
number to eliminate the necessity of
two children in one bed.
The room called the girls "dormi-
tory is on the second floor. 1t has
two windows on the east and a door
opening out of the other three sides.
two small windows at the west end
and door at the east end. Otherwise
no light or air is admitted. In this
room are six beds. The girls room is
about 10 by l 6 feet and the boys room
about the same size.
The most pleasant room on the seq
ond floor is what was formerly the
nursery, on the southeast corner
Here there are four or five trundle
beds. formerly used for babies, but as
babies are brought to the home quite
infrequently, the beds are now being
used for the smaller children.
Clothing in Storage.
Back of the house, on the north. is
the laundry room and upstairs over
this is the room where it was alleged
so many shoes and clothes. were stored.
An inspection today revealed a large
quantity of clothing lying idle. and
there was also number of shoes.
Here too. were piled a large quantity
of playthings which the children play
ing in the yard were not enjoying.
The place is undergoing a transfer
nation since the advent of Miss An
drews. Scrubbing and cleaning and
painting are in evidence on every
hand. Whether the board of directors.
however. will permit the clothing and
playthings to be used by the children,
remains to be seen. At present, no
complaints are being made regarding
the food the children are receiving.
