TALMADGE SUIT
 IN SECOND WEEK
Seeks Fifty Thousand Dollars Damages From Gas Company
 for Asphyxiation of Wife

Selma, November z9.-The suit for $50, 900 damages against the Selma Light ing Company by Banks Talmadge, su- perintendent of the Southern Bell Tele- phone company, for the alleged gas poi soning and death of his wife last Feb ruary went into the second week in the circuit court here this morning.
 Mrs. Talmadge came to her death by asphyxiation while in her bathroom and about the same time Is other cases of near asphyxiation were reported among the prominent people of the city. An official investigation was immediately ordered by the city, which resulted in placing the blame on certain type ot ventless heater in general use among the householders, while another inyesti- gation tended to show that the gas pres- sure at the time might have been re- sponsible for the formation of carbon monoxide which found so many victims Miss Hallie Greene, daughter of Mrs. Rosa Greene of Birmingham, who was visiting her sister, Mrs. s. F. Hobbs of this city, has since filed suit for S5,Voo against the lighting company for in- juries and sickness alleged to have been caused by gas poisoning about the same time.

CORONER REFUSES 10 PLACE GUILT
Official Inquiry Fails to Solve Meridian's Murder Mystery.
 Suspects Are Held

Meridian, Miss, November 2g.--(Spe- cial.)-The coroner's jury Investigating the death of Mrs. Josephine Morris, wife of Lewis Morris. whose dead body was found in a cornfield near her home last Wednesday. has returned a yer dict that she came to her death as the result of gunshot wound in the head inflicted by an unknown person.
 J. E. Johnson, in whose field the oody was found by him and his son-in- law, Roy Miner, are still being held for the crime, but both insist they had no connection with her killing They have retained Marion W. Reilly as counsel and are expected to have a prelimin- ary hearing the latter part of this week or the first of next week.
 The arrest of young Miner. who is prominently connected in this city, was the direct result of the work of blood hounds who followed a trail from the scene of the killing to the Johnson home where it is alleged he slept the night after the killing. The arrest of his father-in- law followed
 The states contention in the prose- cution will be that the killing was the result of differences that are alleged to have existed between the accused and the murdered woman, all resid- ing in the same farm community, eight miles southeast of Meridian. There are rumors of sensational develop ments when the case comes to trial, but there is no confirmation of such to be ca ba iao xyhn fuse to discuss the results of their in- vestigations since the arrests.

By HOLLAND


 New York, November 29.-(SpeciaL) Not alone in the United States has the deflation in prices been in progress. In fact, the reports which come from the customs authorities in the United States make it clear that price reduc- tio1 for commodities of all kinds is under way not only in the United States but throughout the world In some countries this reduction has been relatively speaking greater than any made in the United States. Statistics obtained by the National City bank of New York show that the greater part, at least wo-thirds, of the principal articles which have been recently bought by the United States in other countries and passed through our cus- tom houses were sold in the country where these commodities were pro- duced at a reduction in prices as com pared to the price charged 90 days earlier.
 It has been possible to gain this in- formation because the federal law re- quires that articles imported by the United States be so inspected by the customs authorities as to show the wholesale value of these articles, as that was maintained in the country from which the United States bought the commodities. Perhaps the most sUe'SeStiNS OI lue price reQuctlOn which now is under way throughout the world can be furnished by comparison of earlier prices for coffee with these which are now reported. From South America and Central America as we'll from Asia, and Africa, and other tropical countries comes the coffee which .s imported into the United states. Tn September of this year the wholesale price of coffee in the coun- tries from which we secured 1t aver aged little over 16 cents a pound But in July it averaged 20 cents a. pound, and in October of last year nearly "A cents a pound It is mot diff ffcult for the sttistician to work out the average and this shows that the wholesale price of coffee, of which We imported more than billion pounds last year, has steadily fallen until in September it was only about 16 cents a pound This fall has been reflected in reduction in the retail price for coffee in the United States We have secured the amount of coffee needed for domestic consumption from many of the tropical countries. The raw silk which we buy comes to us from only four or five countries, prin- cipally Japan and China. The cultiva- tors of raw silk have been compelled to submit to heavy price reduction.
 In March of this year our importers were compelled to pay s12.25 a pound for raw silk. They never paid more Then there came a sudden collapse. The

Washington, November 2s.-Evidence calling for criminal persecution in about ton of shipping activities in various parts of the country have been sub nitted to the department of justice for action, Chairman Benson, of the shipping board, announced tonight.

 At the latter department, Assistant Attorney General R. P. Stewart explained that the proposed prosecutions resulted from independent investigation and not as result of the hearings of the Walsh committee which is Investigating ship ping board operations.
