Modification OF Decree I'm Maximum

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The United
States supreme court today, in an opin-
ion by Justice Harlan, granted the mo-
ton Of the attorney general of Nebras-
ka for modification Of the decree in
the Nebraska maximum freight rate
case.
In granting the application to elini-
rate the court said: THE general ques-
ton argued before Us on the original
hearing was whether the rates estab-
lshed by the Nebraska statute looking
at them as entire were so unreasonably
low as tc prevent the railroad COM
panies from earning such compensa-
ton as would be just. having due re-
gard TO the rights of both the pub
lie and the companies. We do not in"
tend, by an affirmation Of the several
DEGREES, to aajudge that the railroad
companies should not at any time IL
the future, il they saw proper, reduce
rates under which they We're conduct
ing business at the time 1t which the
final DEGREES We're rendered, nor that
the state board Of transportation should
not reduce rates on specific or particu-
lar articles below the rates which the
companies were charging on such ar
ticles when the DEGREES were entered.

CHICAGO, May Shelters famous
wheat deal was formally closed today.
The last moments were lively and
Joseph Letter, to all appearance, was
master Of the situation.
AS if to emphasize his command Of
the market. Letter sent May wheat
down from $1.75 to $1.25. This move
was plainly for the purpose of eyad-
ing the big receipts, and to circumvent-
the "tailers." who wanted to ring in
a lot Of wheat on Letter at fancy
prices. Letter fooled them by putting
the price down. Nevertheless. he had
to take on board another 100000 bushels
today, in addition to the pile of 5000, 900
or 6,O00,OOO bushels which he still has
his hands:
All attempts to place Letter. far
as his profits and losses are concerned,

are widely at variance. Some claim
that he will pocket a profit of S4,0Oo,CO9,
while others insist with knowing
glances that he will be fortunate If he
comes out whole on the deal.
MAY WHEAT'S POOR FINISH.
NEW YORK, May 31.-May wheat
deal at Chicago and New York ended
rather ignominiously today. Extreme
weakness, instead of the fireworks"
expected, marked the closing scenes of
one of the many famous corners run
in years.
1t had been confidently expected for
weeks past that the Chicago clique
would run the price of May there to 81
per bushel, and help the local market
in proportion. Too much publicity.
however, had been given the deal and
farmers in all parts of the country
scraped their bins and poured wheat
into both OF the above markets to catch
the phenomenal prices predicted.
At Chicago much of this wheat was
taken care of by clique operators, as
it arrived. but locally the grain becan:
somewhat drug on the market. Only
one result could follow such proceed
ings and that was a general downfall
in prices, beginning here.
l. Shorts were speedily filed up and for
some days the May option had been
declining steadily, reaching today $l.50
in New York, against sales at $1.3l
early in the month. July broke in pro-
portion, selling off to $1.04A after early
sales today at $1.11k, and closing SLOT.
News of all sorts from weekly statistics
of crop advices were all favorable to
the bear attack which accompanies this
decline in prices. The only support
came from foreign houses at the open
ing and little covering by shorts near
the close.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 31.-The
Saints took their revenge on Phillips
today, batting him out of the box in
the fourth. Hawley, who was substi-
tuted. proved q puzzle, but the Apos-
ties had the game we'll in hand and
held their own. Fricken was easy un-
til the close of the third. He regained
courage on the lead of his team and
pitched brilliantly until the ninth.
Csntillon helped him out in this inn
ing. when, with two out and after two
safe drives, he called Flynn out at
first
Millers fielding was a feature, and,
In fact, the outfield work was gener-
ally brilliant and did much toward win
ming. With the Saints retired without
runs in the first and the streak of bat
ting developed by the Indians. the game
for a moment looked to be a cinch for
the HooSiers. Hogriever started with
a double. Mcfarland tapped a single.
Deadly hit for two bases. Hoffmeister
lined single, and MotZ a long fly, net
ting in all three runs. Stewart also
got a single, but was doubled at second
with Flynn. The Saints, however tied
the score in the second on successive
singles by Glenalvin. Glasscock and
pnuSarl, the lauter punt, ana Glllen
double to left center, which cleared the
bases. In the third the Indians devel-
oped two, on HoffmeiSter'S single,
MOTIFS triple and Flynn's triple, Flynn
being caught at the plate endeavoring
to stretch his drive into home run.
The Apostles, in the fourth, turned
loose their batteries on Phillips. Shu-
CART opened with a single, and Gillen
hit for two bases. Spies sacrificed, and
then Fricken singled, scoring two.
Burke hit for three sacks and Geier
for one. Hogriever's tumble gave him
third, and he scored on an outfield fly.
Five in all were Melted. The last tally
was in the sixth, Fricken tabbing on
a gift, a sacrifice, pIt-out and Hoff-
mester's wild throw. Score:
