New York, June 26.- Unable to withstand the shock of losing part of his great fortune accumulated in the coffee business, James T. Ben nett, known as "the coffee king," lies dead in his home, No. 881 St. John's place, Brooklyn, today, after shoot ing himself. The members of Bennett's family were seated at the dinner table wait ing for their father to dress for the meal when they heaijd a pistol shot. Going to the bathroom, they found the man lying in the tub, with a wound in his forehead. ; Dr. J. R. Kevin, of No. 252 Gales avenue, was called, but Bennett was dead when the doctor reached the house. The tragedy came as a terrible blow to the members of the coffee merchant's family. Although they knew he was despondent because ot tdi lr.au nf nnrf. nf his fortune, he still had sufficient money to main- tain his family in comfort for the rest of their lives. He gave no indi cation of a purpose to do away with himself, and when he left the fam ily to dress for dinner he seemed less despondent than he had been in many years. When Bennett retired from business it was believed he was worth several million dollars. It was when Bennett forsook the "business that had made him wealthy to in crease his wealth in Wall street that the tide turned against him. MRS. TAFT IN NEW YORK.
