JOLIET Ql), Sept. 29.-The Rock River
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, comprising the northern portion of

can meet the demands Of the general public
school Instruction"
The conference favored the closing of the

port on the liquor question, regrcttlDg
among other things. the action Of tho United
States Senate in refusing to cn-cperate with
the nations OF Europe In stopping the liquor
traffic in Africa. aud declaring the existing
political parties unworthy the support OF
Christian people.
A paragraph was included deprecating the
"spectacle of the President of the United
States lately crossing the continent with a
chest stocked with liquors, as reported In
the newspapers" But Rev. Frank Bristol
declared IL shame to believe i'll of the f'reSl-
dent simply because of newspaper story,
and the paragraph was expunged.

Quantities Of Grain and Meat.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-It is reported here
that the French Government during the last
three weeks has been quietly buying up an
enormous amount of grain and meats

GRAND JURY.
The Tick ct. Brokers' "Cinch" Bill
Under Fire.

There was no unusual stir In the Grand
Jury rooms at yesterday afternoons ses-
sion. The witnesses present we're j. q.
Mccall, Assemblyman from Alameda
County, and the San Francisco ticket agent
of the Erie Railway Company; Adolph OF
finger, ticket-scalper and saloon-keeper at
62O Market street; George Maxwell, Secre-
tary of the Board of Fire Commissioners,
and man named Daniels.
1t is supposed that the object in summon
ing Mccall and Ottinger was to inquire into
the scandal connected with bill before the
last Legislature to cinch ticket-scapers.
Ottinger opposed that bill, and after the
Legislature adjourned he made the state
nent that Mccall and Bruner of Sacra-
mento demanded $1,000 of him to kill it.
which he refused to give unless Instructed
to do so by the American Ticket brokers'
Association. When the proposition was
laid before that body it was promptly re-
jected.
O;tinger was before the Grand Jury near
ly an hour, and when his examination was
completed it was so near nignttal that Mr..
Mccall was requested 10 be present at next
Tuesdays session.
Il is supposed that Maxwell was sum-
moned to answer further inquiries into the
Firemen's Charity Fund investigation.
Another matter inquired into was the
records in the case OF E. A. McDuffy vs.. j.
d. Rogers. recently heard before Judge
CARRIER. The Judge decided that the in-
dorsemPnt of Warren E. Bert on a note held
by McDutfy against Rogers was a forgery.
When McDufy found out that the Judge
was on his tail he suddenly disappeared
and did not attend the closing days of the
trial. He is supposed to be at present IN
San Diego, where he lives.
The developments in this trial have led
Judge COffey to suspect that McDufy had a
hand in forging the will of j. II. Delaney,
which was probated some two years ago
and in which he was interested.

engine that is bearing Chris Buckley
away from Grand Jury of his country.
TWO IMPORTANT CASES.
This morning at 10 o'clock two important
cases will be heard-the one in Judge
MurDhy's court affecting Mr.. Richard
Chute, as to whether he shall be set at lib
erty to revel in newer and more roseate
dreams of Doodle at the forthcoming Legis-
lature; the other in Judge Wallace's court,
affecting the right of Mr.. SteOhen T. Gage
OF Room 40, Fourth and Townsend streets,
TO refuse an appearance before Grand
Jury of his country and county.
When Judge Murphy's court was opened
sharply at 10 a. NJ. Yesterday it was freely
whispered that the decision in the Chute
case, in typewriter form, had been ready
for nearly two days. Others claimed that if
Judge Murphy's spirit was willing TO set
back Judge Wallace and the Grand Jury
his flesh was weak to the extent that his
judgment told him how grave were the issues
likely to spring from decision favorable to
the setting up of Doodle legislation on a
pedestal which the waters Of justice might
thereafter wash Increasingly but could not
vex or overflow.

loved Doodle more. As Demetrius said of
old, their craft was 10 danger, and they
made common cause In a common peril.
